Ink is very briefly amused but that soon turns to horror, making him wish he never left the Doodle Sphere.
Blue is convinced he has finally put all the clues together (Spoiler alert: he really didnt).

"-four AU's have already been-"
"-no idea what to do!"
"Im missing half the inhabitants of mine! What are you going to do about it-"
"Why arent you doing your job, Ink?!"
Ink was feeling a tad overwhelmed, having barely sat down before he was bombarded with complaints left right and centre. It didnt help that Dream was giving him a disappointed look, unsure what was even happening and trying to recall if he had ever gone through something like this before.
This whole RESET was a mess, having agreed with Error that he should be the one to try and gather more information, considering he was usually seen as the 'Protector' and less likely to get attacked at random. He had left Error in the Doodle Sphere, hoping they would find something in the Code of the multiverse that would help them figure out what was happening.
They were both running blind here, it felt rather unnatural to have full control of his thoughts and actions, unsure how everyone else did it. It was even more confusing when he tried to piece together what exact type of timeline this was, as at a first glance it seemed oddly familiar to the last RESET but it had a few key differences.
For one, Blue was on their phone during the whole meeting doing a decent job in hiding it but he was an artist and noticed the smaller details and he noticed a few variants that he was pretty sure he hadn't created in centuries due to FATE disliking them.
He zoned back in when Dream nudged him having thought he had been pretending well enough and immediately had to try his best not to burst into hysterical laughter when Dream gave an overall summary of the situation.
While it did help to give him more context to those weird texts he had been receiving, that had eventually ended up with his phone crashing, it still made him greatly amused.
He had never heard anything like this before and it just made things even more exciting!
"From the reports I've gathered it seems that the main cause of damage is caused by a small figure that can let out black strands from their fingers. None have made direct contact with them yet but i warn be everyone that they seem to be extremely dangerous and-"
He barely managed to disguise his laughter as a cough when Dream spoke, discreetly taking out the phone Error made for him and sending them what he learned so far. He bet this would get a laugh out of them, betting it was just some mini copy cat or even a fanboy.
He was going to tease them so much for this but his amusement fled and even felt slightly ill at the following comments from the peanut gallery.
"I bet the Destroyer had a child!"
"We are all doomed!"
"How did this even happen?!"
"I bet its some new magic and its just a clone"
...'Error' having a child?
The glitch who hated touching most monsters and preferred to be left alone if at all possible?
That Error?
He felt his mind break a little at the thought, trying not to be sick when some new accusations came up.
"I witnessed the new Destroyer use ink in their attacks!"
"Did Error make a child out of the Creators ink?! How sick can you be!"
"Are we sure it was stolen?"
"What are you trying to say?!"
"I mean, Ink is kind of an idiot so would it truly be that hard to trick him..?"
He did his best to ignore the way some of the Sans in the room were eyeing him warily, shivering when he overheard a Sci Sans say something about their 'OTP being true!' his hand slowly drifted towards his red paint not noticing the alarm that caused in the room.
He deeply regretted some of his creations, having a few minutes of serious thought of just asking Error to destroy everything and just live in the AntiVoid.
He cared for Error but not in that way, seeing them more as siblings in a way, so hearing these comments being thrown out was deeply unsettling.
He had to quickly drink some of his yellow vial to prevent himself doing something unwise, such as taking as much white paint as he could in hopes of wiping this memory from his mind.
Blues typing got faster but Ink was too far gone to notice, the Creator twitching and smiling widely in a rather concerning manner and causing Dream to look at them in worry.
Could this get any worse?!
"..do you think ill get dusted if I ask the Creator what their ideal partner is?"
"Of course not! You should go for it!"
"Oh, ok!..wait, why do you have a camera out?"
"No need to worry about it, just go and ask your question"
Was he ever allowed a single break?!
Ink suddenly had a deep wave of jealousy of Error, who rarely had to deal with people, the struggle not to down his red paint ever growing when he overhead more stupid theories.
He didnt notice his smile becoming even more unhinged when a Fell Sans made eye contact with him, the room practically hearing the Creators patience about to snap when another random monster opened their mouth.
"..SHOULDN'T YOU DO SOMETHING, DREAM?"
"They brought this on themselves"
Dream said unsympathetically, a secret part of him enjoying the revenge on Ink for all the times they were late to these meetings, forcing him have to deal with it all...but a larger part of him was annoyed at how whiny some of the Sans could be, his smile gaining a feral edge that made a few flinch due to how it resembled Nightmares.
———
Blue had grown tired of the state of the multiverse a long time ago, hating the apparent two sides and the way peace never seemed to be an option. He had been optimistic in the start, wanting to go on adventures with his friends and defend his home but everything changed when he finally met Error.
He had heard plenty of things about the Destroyer, Ink having painted them as some sort of deranged maniac but that isn't what he witnessed at all when he finally met them.
He had initially panicked when he had been dragged to the AntiVoid, watching in despair as his AU was destroyed but that had suddenly changed when instead of being dusted he was given a bone weary look, like Error was done with it all and Blue was just an extra chore they were forced to deal with.
". .oh, its just you. Whelp, seems i made a mistake somewhere. I really need a holiday at some point..SHUT UP! I'm fixing the issue! If you weren't so pissy maybe i would-OUCH! Fine, i'll do it now. This is the worst timeline ever- STOP SHOUTING AT ME!"
The crazed rambling was confusing and it was slightly concerning how they argued with the 'sky' the entire time but he was never hurt in his entire 'stay' in the AntiVoid.
He had listened to Errors rambles and tried to make conversation, feeling they had become sort of friends over the time he spent here..although he was confused why he was called 'annoying NPC' but thought that Error just wasn't good at making friends.
He was shocked when he was freed and left in his shockingly restored AU, not able to get a word in before Error left and he met up with the Star Sans again.
That single interaction made him open his eyes, examining things closer to try and parse out the truth and watching the interactions between Ink and Error more intently something was up with them but he wasnt sure quite what.
If one of the major 'truths' in his life had been false, then what else was?
He wasnt sure how it led him to keeping in contact with the 'Bad Sans' but he found them surprisingly nice to talk to, learning even more than he ever thought and nearly shocked when he was told about a Balance.
That was another turning point in his life, making him look at Ink and Dream in a new light and frowning at what he spotted.
One seemed determined to 'save' their brother and was blind to everything else and the other...well, not to be harsh but he truly thought that without immortality Ink would have died long ago.
His life had drastically changed that revelation but now something new changed everything.
"I found you! You all tried to hide from me but i found you in the end"
"...INK? IS THAT YOUR...CHILD?"
He said in shock, watching as a small child climbed the Creator like they were a climbing frame, after the babybones had randomly fallen out of an ink portal.
"..What? No!"
It might have been more convincing if the babybones didnt just then create a flower and present it to Ink like a child showing off to their parent. He gave Ink a rather unimpressed look at that, unsure why they kept disputing it.
"It's not like that at all! Stop looking at me like that. Dream! You believe me, don't you?..DREAM?! Why are you staying quiet?! Dont tell me you are believing this!"
..He had a lot of questions and felt a long time theory slot into place, sending another look to Ink before quickly texting Nightmare.
This may be the thing they needed to finally get a Truce!
If Ink and Error were close enough for this, then surely it was half the battle out the way already for true peace.
