"Thank you, Riverperson," said Error, nodding to the cloaked being. They had brought him and Blue to the mainland, quite a ways away. It hadn't taken long to get there though, as the Riverperson's boat was very fast, quite literally running on the water.

The Riverperson nodded back at Error before leaving the two skeleton monsters with a cryptic parting statement. " Tri li li... Is he the enemy... Or an old friend? Tre le le."

"Oh, for balance's sake," grumbled Error. "Why must you be so mysterious?"

"Tra la la. Tri li li. Tre le le," trilled the Riverperson as they sailed away sedately, ignoring Error entirely.

"C'mon Error! We've got people to find, things to do, places to go!" Blue said excitedly. "I have no idea where we should go next, so what're we doing now?"

"That way," said Error, pointing to a snow-blanketed forest. It sparkled in the afternoon light, the thousands of ice crystals gleaming and glittering.

"So we're heading to Snowdin?" Blue asked.

"I'm not sure... I just know that what we're looking for is either within or beyond that forest. My Soul is telling me so."

"Well then let's go!" Blue said excitedly, running off towards the snowy forest.

"Wait for me, Blue!" Error yelled, chasing after the shorter skeleton.

Blue turned and looked at Error, waiting a few seconds to allow him to catch up, before darting off into the trees.

Error raced after him, for although he would've preferred to walk peacefully and enjoy the nature, he didn't want to lose track of his friend.

"Huh? What's up with the Snowdin Forest camera?" Lune wondered aloud, looking at the glitching screen. Her ear twitched, and she turned to look at the other monitors, swearing under her breath as she noticed the Observatory camera was partially covered by slime again. "I'd better make sure to ask Snow and Syrah to check out the one in the forest, I've got to clean off the one in the Observatory and feed the Amalgamates."

The six-tailed Kitsune pulled out her phone, claws tapping away rapidly as she texted the older skeleton sister of Snowdin.

FoxyLady: Snow, the cam n Snowdin Forest is out again. Could u plz check on it 4 me?
FrostFlurry: i'll go take a look at it.
FrostFlurry: pretty sure it's on syrah's patrol route, so it won't be much of a bother.
FoxyLady: Id do it myself but the Observatory cam is slimed again
FoxyLady: So I have 2 go clean it off >~<
FrostFlurry: oh, lovely. have fun with that XD

Grumbling quietly, Lune snagged her tablet and padded out of the studio, her claws clicking against the stone floor. She would have to hitch a ride downriver to the Core, and then walk a bit more to reach the Observatory- an abandoned lab.
