A Splash of ink

Chapter 72- Like trying to herd feral squirrels (??? Multiverse)

Dream is trying to get the meeting on track but it seems he is hindered at every turn....

??? Multiverse

Council of Sans

Dream was exhausted but knew that he wasn't even halfway done, sighing when Sci began waving like crazy to get his attention like he was a kindergarten teacher. It wasn't a far shot with how some of these monsters acted, especially since half of the Fell's had already begun an impromptu fight with most of the chairs destroyed in order to create a fighting ring.

He was rather resigned to it at this point, a reason why he made sure to use cheaper chairs here and made them more uncomfortable every time they were replaced as a petty punishment.

"Yes, Sci? What is it?"

He sighed tiredly when the scientist nearly fell off his seat due to bouncing in excitement, wincing when they did indeed crash onto the floor once he addressed them and briefly worried about their health before he was startled when they suddenly popped up in front of him in a rather alarming manner.

"I have so many questions about the newly healed Negativity Guardian. Is there any hints what caused this sudden transformation? I've been researching for years and i'd be more than happy to perform any examinations. Free of charge of course!"

He tried not to cringe at the manic excitement being expressed and how he truly couldn't deal with this much scrutiny, as he truly had no clue what exactly had happened to his twin. It didnt help that the feeble bond he used to have to his twin was oddly muted ever since he found this so called 'Sirius', his far far fetched idea sounding more plausible as time went on.

....or maybe that was the stress talking, rubbing his face while Sci kept on blabbering along as if uncaring his audience had tuned him out long ago.

"I'll think about it, Sci. He'll need observation soon before he can be out in public. He's delicate after the change which im sure you understand"

He swiftly interrupted the scientist's quickly growing unhinged rant and while in the past he would have felt guilty for using his powers to forcibly calm someone down, right now he felt none as he was starting to get a headache...even more so when the cheering from the Fell group got louder when Red got knocked out in one round of the sudden fights.

Of course the hope of some quiet died out when a colourful portal opened in the centre of the room and felt his SOUL sink when Ink ran out without a single care for all the eyes on him and beelined for Dream while holding the devil squirrel.

"Look, Dream! It likes me! Im going to make an AU full of them!"

"Jesus, where is the Creators arm?! How is he acting so casual? Was it the Destroyer? Are we about to get attacked?!"

"Their arm? Have you seen their legs? How is he still moving around?!"

"I think im going to barf...."

"Ten gold i bet i wouldn't flinch if i lost an arm too!"

"SHUT UP, PUP! I'VE SEEN YOU CRY FROM A PAPERCUT"

Dream stared dead eyed as the 'squirrel' chewed on Ink's fingers with a vigour he rarely saw in tigers let alone small forest animals but of course it seems his issues were far from over.

When Sirius stepped through the portal with a bright innocent smile and a small wave, he felt the last hope to have a quiet moment vanish. Even all of the Fell types finally paid attention with the room going deadly silent for a blissful minute before pandemonium erupted and the volume rose to near double after.
