"nO!" Error gasped at the revelation. He had acquired his favorite snacks and was watching the portal at the edge of his bean bag. "tHaT DaMn RiNg AgAin."

He was loath to admit it, but he had gotten invested in the story of the bitties' bid for escape. There was so much tension, surprise twists and drama - he scarcely knew where to focus the screen.

He only had to leave to destroy one more corrupt AU while he was watching.

Flowey had also been giving the portal a watchful eye at this point as there wasn't much to do in the Antivoid. Error had been kind enough to leave it open when he had left.

Somehow over the past few hours Flowey had managed to convince Error to play a game of checkers with him. Flowey clicked the next piece forward and Error absently moved his own piece.Flowey jumped at the chance to claim three of Error's pieces.

"Ha ha ha!" Flowey cackled. "Add to my legion of monarchs! Your armies are mine!"

"yEaH yEaH." Error said absently, kinging Flowey's piece.

Flowey huffed and rolled his eyes looking at the portal once more. "What's even so interesting about this, uh, AU was it? There is barely any violence. It's boooooring."

Error scoffed. "Oh SoRrY, My PrInCe." Error said lying it on heavily with sarcasm. "Is My fOrM Of EntErtAInmEnt nOt Up tO stAndArd?" He turned and gave a manic grin.

Flowy glared back. "Don't call me that."

"TcH. yOU'rE nO fUn AnYmOrE. WhErE'd ALL thAt fEAr gO?" Error said, scowling (pouting) and moving his last piece into danger to get the game over with.

Flowey gave him a deadpan expression. "I saw you knit baby clothes before sneaking it into a struggling single parents bag."

It was Error's turn to huff. "DOEsn't mEAn I'm nOt sTiLl dAngErOUs. YOU'rE LUcky thE vOIcEs wAnt yOU tO stIck ArOUnd A LIttLE LOngEr."

"The voices this, the voices that." Flowey said unimpressed, withholding another eye roll as he reset the board before looking him in the eye. "What is it you want Error?"

Error broke the gaze and looked at his hands as if to really consider the question.

"I jUst wAnt tO wAtch mY shOwS." Error said surprisingly quiet before looking back at the screen.

Flowey sighed and put the game away seeing as Error wasn't in the mood any more. Even IF the show was boring ... There was something strangely amusing watching those weird mini Sans and Papyrus's running around trying to survive.

He's surprised the trashbag hadn't caved already. There was something about watching him from the screen that ... made Flowey kinda want to root for him.

"Hmm..."

"WhAt?"

Flowey smiled shyly, hoping to alleviate his boredom. "Do you ... wanna destroy that Ring place together?"

Error couldn't prevent the smile from creeping up his face. "YoU KnOw whAt ... I kIndA dO."

"The Ring." Vanta admitted to the gathering group of bitties.

The words hung heavy over the air as some more bitties gathered to meet the new group additions. Likely lured by the LV and Napoleon running his mouth to the others.

"shit." Clock mumbled, seemingly trying to disappear into his fluffy hoody, having heard the last bit of their conversation. Having experienced it himself, he and Dagger were the most sympathetic. Even if they weren't likely to show it.
