pretty much. been here over a year and i still haven't gotten used to it.

[At least no one's tried to kill him yet.]

monsters from my world are generally pretty decent. it's gotta be weird for the rest of you.

[battlefront]

For me at least, there's at least one back home who's kinda like you. I'd say two but that one's more of a robotic puppet so I dunno if that counts.

[But then again there's also the existance of Mettaton. Technicalities and all that.]

I think you'd like him. Very quiet. Kinda dog-like but he's not interested in bones.

text

[punful]

i know a robot monster, so i guess it does.

lol i get along pretty well with dogs. lots of my friends back home are dogs.

text

[battlefront]

Oh. Right. The one with the legs.

[Cloud that is not a good way to phrase it.]

He's not actually a dog, is he?

text

[punful]

lol yeah with the legs

no i don't think so? i hope not.

text

[battlefront]

You're not sure?

text

[punful]

you can never be 100% positive that someone is not a dog.

1/? stay tuned for your daily glitchtexts (post-event)

[catinthemask]

[So things went as well as expected.

Zacharie had managed to survive, managed to switch bodies back to his normal one but everything was still glitching out, he was still crashing and the NPC couldn't rightly say where he was in Wonderland right now. He has his cat mask back on so that helped but otherwise he was still running high on too much Determination and if it didn't kill him---

Nope. 28. fast_text_skip. Don't think about this anymore. Still, a series of texts find their way onto Sans's phone and the sender is Zacharie. Just...don't expect anything to make a lick of sense.]

[Okay, then. This. This isn't concerning at all. This isn't worrying. There are no errors crawling down the walls. He doesn't need to just sit here, just sit here for a little bit and wait for the tearing to stop.]

[He's. It's fine. It's okay. Not about him, anyway, because clearly Zacharie's...having a bad time. In some kind of distress and. Maybe he's reaching out to Sans for help? Sans of all people? That's weird. It's probably not that. He probably just. Found a name in his phone and hit send or something.]

[Should he even respond to this?]




[It takes him about two hours.]

are you crashing again?

[taxt -> video] it's going real great 1/2

[catinthemask]

[It's fine if Sans takes his time to reply. It takes Zacharie an hour or so to respond himself. To, ah, busy.]

dont listn to me its fine look just look

[Zacharie abruptly changes to video, maybe figuring since he probably isn't getting his point across via text it'd be better to do it face-to-face.

It's not helpful.]

[catinthemask]

[It plays for a bit then goes back to text.]

[This is...]

[This is worse than last time. This is way, way worse than last time. Even after drowning, even all that code he was spouting then, it was still...translatable. You kinda needed a sieve to dig out what Zacharie was saying, but there was actual meaning there. This is almost incomprehensible. And the video screen just makes it worse. Makes Sans have to sit back for another few minutes and get control of his breathing, until the errors fade out again.]

[This hallucination thing is getting real annoying.]

hey

easy buddy

i'm real. you're real.

try to


like do you have anything hard nearby that you could pick up?

like a stone or something?

you hold it in your hand and it kinda helps

cause it's solid and you can feel it and turn it over and stuff

funny enough i dont think im touching the phone anymore

[There's another ten minute delay before Zacharie starts texting again.]

found a rock

[text]

[punful]

it's okay. i'm not a fan of promises anyway.

[Honestly, he's just not thinking about it. At a certain point down that sort of road, you end up just accepting the idea that nothing is real, at which point the world just stops making any sense. It's sort of the opposite of scientific.]

[He still can't parse most of that. It's almost completely corrupted, for one thing.

if you don't want to talk you don't have to

you don't have to do anything you don't want to.

[Empty platitudes, probably. Considering Zacharie's whole thing about Puppeteers.]

is it a good rock?

can you describe it?

[text]

[catinthemask]

dont have to. don't have to. Don't have to. Don't have to?

<>Move Event: Hero, Move Up
<>Wait: 0.3 Sec

Good idea. Good idea. Good idea!

[So not as useless as Sans may have thought and hey, looks like Zacharie's grammar may be improving!

...that's not a good thing.]

Yes. It's good. Soft. Black, very black. Always been black. Then white underneath. Crunches. Have to burn it all or it will hurt your teeth.

[punful]

[It actually does seem like Zacharie's getting himself a bit more under control, mostly because he's starting to sound more like the last time he was crashing. Symbols and characters, remnants of code, but still pretty legible.]

black with white on the inside huh?

sounds like a pretty interesting rock.

[He's honestly trying to think of what kind of rock that could possibly be, then--]

[Ah.]



[So that wasn't just a dream. That part was real. How could Sans have known that? How could that just--make its way into his subconscious like that? Dreams are just--they're just your own mind doing its thing. There shouldn't have been--]

"What an idiot," says Frisk and they drive their knee upward into Sans's middle, catching his lower ribs, and he hears the sharp crack before he feels it. Should be dead already. Should be dust, but he's not. He's still here, still alive, and the pain goes on and on and on and on, and he tells them to stop--

"Just like you stopped for me?"

And they break more of him and more of him and more of him and--

[He thinks it's been about ten minutes or so since he even moved.]

i'm sorry

i don't think i can help you

i will

[text]

[catinthemask]

[And It is just going to erase all of that and type out something else.

Too bad, but you're not getting help Zacharie. Not for a long time.]

But I will help you.

Stay where you are. Don't move. Don't make a sound.

No need to call for help.

I am here. And I will be with you shortly.

=)

[Although It will never come. Sometimes it's just fun to see what a few words could do. And Zacharie isn't going to be responding for awhile. So sorry.]
