Normal speech. - "Hi."

Normal thoughts. - 'Hi'

Error talking. - "Abomination no.13."

Error thinking. - 'Abomination no.13.'

Nightmare talking - "Dust get back here!"

Nightmare thinking - 'Dust get back here!'

Ghosts thinking or talking - "Seriously Cross?"

"What do you say?"

"What do I say?" Error stated. " I say yes."

Killer was shocked. 'He agreed!?'

Cross was still disappointed that Nightmare didn't ask Error out. 'Come on! You had the perfect time to ask!'

Horror was... Feeling like Horror always did. He was hungry. ' Does this mean more food?'

Dust was too focussed on the chocolate dangling in front of him to realize what happened. ' I wonder if I could reach?'

"Why do you have car insurance though?"

"Salesman made me an offer I couldn't resist."

"You don't have a car!"

"I know."

*-_Flash back._-*

The doorbell sounded and Nightmare went to answer.

"Hello, would you like to buy car insurance? Fifty percent off for the first two months."

"But I don't have a car?"

"Ah yes but the thing is, it covers people riding on magic attacks as well."

"I'll take your entire stock!"

"But we don't sell stock?"

And so Nightmare bought a whole car insurance company.

_-*Flash forwards*-_

"Can you let us down now?"

Error looked up at the ceiling where they were tied and loosened his strings causing them to fall from the ceiling.

Dust and Horror went straight for the chocolate, Cross grabbed his knife and Killer walked over to congratulate Error.

"Shake on it?"Nightmare asked holding out his hand.

"I don't do physical contact. Sorry."

"That's fine."Nightmare replied.

"Sooooo what now?"

"You might wanna collect your stuff from where you live."

Error opened a portal to the anti-void and stepped in to collect his box of puppets and sowing supplies.

He then walked straight out of it.

"Wait, do you live in there?"

"Yes?"

"Wait, who's on cooking duty today?"

"I believe it's Cross's turn."

"But Cross, didn't you do it yesterday?" CC asked.

"Hey Nightmare, CC says I did it yesterday."

"Did you do it yesterday?"

"I had to cook because Cross was busy with NSC"Dust spoke up.

(Noots Shipping Council.)

"Cross you are cooking."

Cross huffed and stormed into the kitchen.

"What am I meant to be cooking anyway?"

"Error, what do you want to eat?"

"I should probably tell you that I don't eat."

"That explains why you were so light."

"Do you remember what the last thing you ate was, and when?"Dust asked concerned.

"The last thing I ate was fell's chocolate. And that was back when I accidentally kidnapped Blueberry."

" I mean like what month or year was it."

"Time is meaningless in the anti-void."

Error was getting bored so he began to finish his Nightmare puppet.

Horror was staring at the rug.

"So are we gonna ignore the blood-soaked rug and the stained couch?" Horror asked.

"I'll put a rug over it."

"You're gonna put a rug over a rug?"

"I guess."

"Shouldn't we show Error to his room?"

"I'll do that. You guys work out if we can save the rug or the couch."

Horror Dust and Killer nodded at went to try and save the couch.

Nightmare led error up to the second floor then to a spare room.

"The room changes to whoever is staying inside it likes."

Error stepped inside and the room changed to the theme of a dark but star-filled night that gave off a heavy aura of calm.
