A few days later, Error's POV

"She should be in the orchards picking apples with Farm. She will be excited to train with you again!"Horror told me

I shake my head as I march through the rows of trees without a sign of Farmer or Lovespoon. Their orchards have really expanded since my last visit so this will be harder than Horror made it sound. I chuckle a bit, marching through and recognizing her work to support saplings growing in some spots as pumpkins grow randomly with flowers.

I was distracted by the clues of her little trail that I didn't realize that I was being followed until two hands snatch my arms roughly and my glitching sparks up from the sudden foreign contact and starts to fill my vision. It gets worse as my arms get yanked backward, preventing me from getting my strings out and my feet drag across the ground as my glitching intensifies. The next thing I know is that I'm being forced into a chair with two hands still holding my arms down and instantly a pair of cuffs surround my hands, leaving them unable to even move a finger.

Uggh, what the hell? How did intruders get into the farm? I could've sworn that I was dragged through a portal...

"We want answers, Destroyer."

Ugh, note to self, enforce barriers to also keep those who kidnap for interrogations out...

I glance up, seeing a long row of gods and goddesses seated behind a long table. I recognize most of them as gods from Reaper's AU from Undyne to Muffet and Asgore. Only one missing was Gaster and Papyrus. Though some looked foreign. Life already is sighing and shaking her head at them.

"WhAt thE hElL aRe yOu doInG? WhAt iS tHiS sHiT? LeT g0 oF mE!"I snap at them

One of them snaps their fingers and a gag locks around my mouth, holding it shut.

"Silence your nonsense. We heard some strange things about you...well stranger than usual...The quicker this is settled, the better. But you're not going anywhere."

Then they each start listing various questions to me, one after another down the line. They each focus on my bond with Reaper and what it is. Since when did it happen? How long have I known him? What kind of relationship is it really? Why get with Death? How am I immune to his touch? Is this just a scheme for power and destruction? Is their AU in danger? How long have I lived with him? How did it come to this relationship? Why did I decide to ally with him and move in? Some clearly looked down on the pairing while others were overly curious like this is a rare spectacle that they must observe and report.

I roll my eyes as they give their dumb questions and keep me silenced.

"Ugh, this is ridiculous."Life says, walking over and removing the bag from my mouth

"LIFE!"Another god snaps

"Relax, it's just the gag. Though I won't hesitate to free his hands next if you continue this ridiculous circus. It's really none of our business what happens in their home and it's shameful how you approach him about this. How do you expect him to answer if he can't speak?"She says

"FiNaLLy, sOmEoNe sAid sOmEtHiNg inTeLlIgEnT."I say, shaking my head

I glance at each of them and chuckle.
