Remembering from Nirvana

┊XXXV┊Contract┊

"Alright... Now, do you think you can not jump on Error like that again I can talk to him more properly?" Nightmare raised a brow and Peril sheepishly nodded, smiling a bit and still being quite excited it looks like. Error noticed that the excitement caused Peril's 'tears' to leak less. The glitch then glanced back at Nightmare as he then slowly pushed his SOUL back in when Nightmare motioned him too. "Continuing on... I can't mark your SOUL Error, considering at how broken it is." "But... I don't really feel any pain?" Nightmare just took a deep breath in.

Is this bish serious?

"Even if you don't feel pain, I'd rather not. Period. We'll need to wait for at least a few decades, or until your SOUL doesn't look like it's gonna break any moment." Nightmare explained and Error then slowly nodded. "Don't worry though, even if I haven't marked you yet, you can still start working now." Nightmare spoke and Error nodded, smiling a bit. That's a relief. "Now, you three should get going, I have a private matter to discuss with Error about this... Silver, go with them and make sure they don't cause a ruckus." Silver blinked in surprise but then slowly went towards the group, not liking how he's gonna have to stay around a bunch of rowdy people.

Even if Peril is amongst them.

...

Yeah he can probably make an exception... Hope he doesn't regret this.

"Okay boss." Shroud spoke while Peril whined. "Awwhhh, I wanna talk with Error more!" "Later, Peril." Error gave a soft smile at Peril, who immediately perked up at that. "Poggers lets go then! We shouldn't waste time!" Peril exclaimed and quickly ran out. "Hey wait!" Crimson yelled, running after Peril. "Oi!" Shroud ran after them and Silver just sighed, yeah he's gonna regret this... He then quickly ran after the trio.

"What... Did you want to talk about?" Error sheepishly asked, glancing at Nightmare, who was silent for a bit. "Just to be clear, you chose this Empire, right?" Nightmare spoke and Error nodded. "Mhmm, I choose this Empire... Why?" "It's just that... There will be certain... How do I put this." Nightmare then clasped his hands together, bringing it to his mouth and furrowing his brows. "Have you ever heard of the rumors where the Moon Empire houses a bunch of murderers?" Error blinked, yeah, he has heard it multiple times and honestly? He doesn't care really. They probably had their reason on why they killed. "If I remember correctly, Peril's a murderer." Error pointed at the door and Nightmare blinked.

"I saw him kill when we were ganged up... I mean, I may have... Also done it too, so I don't really mind hanging out with people who kill. I'm sure they have their reasons on why did so." Error smiled a bit and Nightmare just stared at Error, a neutral player, choosing his Empire... Not only did this guy, who has immense negativity surrounding him - ̶w̶̶h̶̶i̶̶c̶̶h̶ ̶c̶̶o̶̶n̶̶c̶̶e̶̶r̶̶n̶̶s̶ ̶h̶̶i̶̶m̶ ̶g̶̶r̶̶e̶̶a̶̶t̶̶l̶̶y̶ ̶b̶̶u̶̶t̶ ̶n̶̶o̶ ̶o̶̶n̶̶e̶ ̶n̶̶e̶̶e̶̶d̶̶s̶ ̶t̶̶o̶ ̶k̶̶n̶̶o̶̶w̶ ̶t̶̶h̶̶a̶̶t̶ - has unspoken power, has managed to befriend Peril and is a neutral player, choose his Empire, he's willing to stay and actually work for criminals? Damn.

Did he just get extremely lucky?

Yes, he did.

Then again, there's the factor that he also killed, he wonders if he felt anything or if he was scared, but he guesses he could ask Peril that.

"I see... Considering you're gonna work for me, would you mind any work that involves killing? Or would that be too much?" Even though there's a lot of rumors centered around the Moon Empire housing many murderers and such, it was actually only just a few, including those in his court... Not counting Sangria however, he doesn't like to kill anymore after what happened to his friend... Ah, that still pisses him off in all honesty.

"I don't mind at all Your Highness." Error smiled softly. "Plus... I... Have a feeling that it was something I used to often do before... Would probably explain why I have so many scars." Nightmare nodded, if the scars came from fights, then he could definitely understand why Error looks like this. But what he's concerned about now is how often he was in fight for him to be this... Damaged. "I see... Well, since you'll be working here starting from... Well, whenever you want, you're gonna need to sign a contract. Pledge your loyalty to me. I would do the marking ceremony, but I can't really do it now considering your predicament." He was kinda glad that he's more... Well, not the old him anymore. God knows he wouldn't've hesitated on marking Error despite how fragile his SOUL looks to be in all honesty.

"I don't mind starting today in all honesty." Error sheepishly said, watching as Nightmare's tentacle stretched across the room and grabbed something, some kind of paper and pen, before returning it and setting it on the desk. "Well, you're gonna have to train first if you wish to aim for a more higher position in my court." "Oh, I can have a goal?" He doesn't know why that sounds so new yet so... Foreign. Had he ever even had a goal before? He probably has in all honesty... But what was the question.

"Well... Yeah. Everyone in this court started out as a rookie guard. Silver rose to the top as my General, Peril rose to the top as the Court's Royal Fashion Designer, Crimson rose to the Court's Chef, Shroud rose to become the Court's weapon designer and Sangria rose to be the Court's assistant. Most were for the court, being in te court is already a high position, but being something of mine is even higher, like how Silver is my General... Sort of a personal bodyguard role." Nightmare explained and Error slowly nodded. "Is it like that with Lord Dream?" Error noticed how Nightmare cringed at the mention of Dream, does Nightmare not like his brother?

For some reason, some weird instinct almost made him try and to scold Nightmare for hating his brother. What was that-

"Probably, don't really care enough to know." Nightmare grumbled lightly and Error slowly nodded. "Alright..." "Now, come here so you can sign the contract. You can't really do it from that far you know." Nightmare spoke and Error blinked. "R-Right." Error sheepishly laughed as he then walked towards Nightmare, pulling his glasses from his coat and putting it on. Nightmare couldn't help but raise a brow in amusement. Not having known of Error's shit vision.

Error then grabbed the pen and then blinked a bit. "Do- Do I just use my name or..." "Do you have any other names?" "No not really-" "Then go ahead and sign with your name." Error nodded at Nightmare's confirmation and then wrote his name on where the 'signature' was. Surprising that he knows how to write, especially with the lingering feeling of him probably not even writing for long periods of time... His writing is legible enough anyways-

"Thank you." Nightmare then rolled the contract and tied it with a ribbon, as well as sealing it with a stamp. "Welcome to the Moon Empire."

Error couldn't help but smile at that, he was sure he won't regret this decision.
