Chapter 24 - Park Ranger
-Basically, if you don't understand, here's what happened between Ink and Error, here's what happened. Ink and Error were dating while working in the same Office. Ink, feeling their relationship was close, told Error how he's been trying to become the regional manager for some time, and Error obviously supported his idea on this. The next night, Error convinced Ink to have sex together for the first time (Ink was a virgin, Error wasn't. Also, I have no idea how skeletons have sex, but I saw on this one Sansby comic where a part of the soul split off from the monster with more HP and joined the the other soul, and grew off of that one before a body was formed, so that's how I like to think a male skeleton got pregant during whatever kind of sex they can do), so Ink found out the next night and went to tell Error, who was at an Office party, found him doing the deed with a person from Corprate, and Error was drunk, so was this Corporate person. Error said he didn't want Ink anymore, that he was a waste of his time, and he also got the job he wanted because he slept with his boss. Ink ran off crying, thinking Error tricked him into having sex just to take his virginity, not because he loved him, then Ink transfered to the light branch. Corporate heard what the Boss did, fired her, promoted Tainted to overseer of the branches, and she let Ink start his own branch called the Light/Golden branch. Ink hired all of the people working there that you saw, and they understood his situation and helped him through the pregnancy, gave birth, hired a babysitter that was a friend of his, and avoided Error because he was heartbroken. Since they were branch managers, they had to go to meetings together, so Error tried to apologize every time, but Ink ran off every time and Error never got the chance. So, when the branches merged, Ink knew Error, Horror, and Killer, and they knew him. And Ink made his workers from his original branch promise not to tell any of the new guys about his child, since he's afriad for Error to find out and he thinks Error might do something to his child.-
Error and Killer were sitting in a small forest themed Office, sitting in front of a small desk. Killer looked bored, playing a knife throwing game on his phone while Error looked rather inpatient.
"Why am I here?" Killer groaned, "He's your ex you're trying to impress, not mine."
"He texted you, he didn't know he was talking to me!" Error said, "So if I just came, he'd be really upset. I'm trying to ease my way back into his life, not overwhelm him."
"You really care about him, huh?" Killer said, switching off his game, "Too bad your an awful boyfriend."
"Shut up, I've felt bad enough over the last two years!" Error groaned, covering his face.
"So, what did you two skeletons need?" A females bored voice asked, making them both look over at the door.
She was a tall and lean female demon, who looked rather annoyed that two skeletons were pestering her. She had dirty brown hair that went halfway down her back, ending where her black and yellow wings started. She had grey-blueish eyes on a black background, which was accompanied with a comic t-shirt and black sweatpants with pink lines running down the side, black and pink tennis shoes on her feet.
"Are you the park ranger?" Error asked, hopeful.
He would've went after Ink himself, but the park was too big to be able to find him before the sun fell, and he wasn't really sure where to look. So, he needed the park rangers help.
"No, I'm three Ompa Loompas on top of each other, wearing a suit with the fake name of Donald Trump," She said sarcastically, "Yes, of course I'm the park ranger."
"She's even more salty then Nightmare," Killer whispered to Error, "I think she's on her time of the month."
"I heard that," She said sharply, causing Killer and Error to tense under her intense glare, "And demons don't get periods, like skeletons, we're born from the earth. I thought you would've known that. I'm just upset because you both interrupted my Spongebob episode."
"Gasp! Not that!" Killer mocked, saying the word gasp instead of actually preforming the action.
SMACK
The park ranger twirled her glowing gold and black hammer in her hand, a bored expression on her face.
"Is he going to be ok?" Error asked, looking over at the unconscious Killer.
"He'll be out for a few minutes, that's my magic," The park ranger said, leaning back in her wooden chair, "I condense my magic into the edge of the hammer, which neutralizes a monsters magic and a humans body, depending on how much magic I use. I didn't use that much, he'll be fine. Just a bit confused and dazed."
"Sorry," Error sighed, "Killer's been having a rough week, but we need to focus on why we're here. My... Boyfriend got lost in the park with a friend of his, and he texted me to get you to find him."
"Oh god," She groaned, sitting forward, "Does he know there's deadly bears in there?"
"Yeah, he lost the trail, so we need your help," Error said.
"Guh..." Killer groaned, his head rolling slightly.
"Why do people act so stupid?" She groaned, "Do you know which part of the woods he is?"
"...No Miss..."
"Names NettisLettis, don't wear it down." She sighed, picking up a flashlight, "Yours?"
"Error," He said, shaking her hand, "Do you have any idea on where to find them?"
"Nope!" She said, picking up a flashlight and putting it onto her belt around her waste, "But what we can do is walk around the forest and look for his soul, try to sense it. Since demons can sense souls, I just have to find his soul wavelength and magic output, then track it down. Shouldn't be too difficult."
Error stood up, hauling Killer with him.
"Dude, wake up," Error said, lightly tapping Killers skull.
"Nuuuuuuuu..." He grumbled, seeming a bit loopy.
"Killer, Horror is having sex with Dream!" Error yelled.
Killer perked up, his eye sockets flashing with magic as he yelled, "WHAT?"
"Nah, you're good," Error said, tapping his shoulder, "But we should probably go look for Inky, huh?"
"Ugh, I think I'm going to throw up," Killer groaned.
"You won't, you'll just be a little dazed for a few more minutes," NettisLettis said, pulling out a magic tracker from her desk, "So, I have a magic tracker, which can be used to see if there's any large output of magic nearby. Some people use these to look for leaks in magic containers, or doctors use this to see if a monsters soul is releasing too much or too little magic. I got one with the job to find lost monsters, but it can't sense humans or demons, so I'm glad its a monster that's lost. But you guys can't use any magic while we're looking, it'll detect it and signal it, which will make us slower. And times a factor when there are bears which can attack."
"Do you think a bear will attack him?" Error asked, panic flooding with his voice.
"Well, he's a monster, he can defend himself with magic," The dirty blond haired female said, "Unless he's caught off guard or doesn't have his magic output. You know, like some skeletons use their eyes, demons create magic condensed weapons, and humans have their soul wavelenths. We should get going now, help your friend walk."
"Names Killer..." He grunted, holding his skull in pain and leaned against Error.
"Don't care," NettisLettis sung, opening the door to her small cabin, "Hurry up, we're losing sunlight, and that's my element."
(I feel really bad because I promised to add Nettislettus into a chapter, but it's been awhile and she is only now being added, so she's going to get a bit more time then others in this book. Obviously __Purple_Fluffball__ is going to be included the most, since her Sanscest books are the reason I'm into Sanscest)
"What do you mean, you're element?" Error asked, him and Killer trudging after thr park ranger, "Is that some demon term I don't get?"
"Yeah," She said, looking down at the tractor, "Demons are more in tune with the earth then the other two races, since they're born from elements."
"Mentioned that earlier... You did..." Killer grunted in his dazed state.
"Yeah, how are demons born exactly?" The taller skeleton asked her.
"Well," She pondered over a good response, "It's kinda hard to explain. Well, when two demons decide it's time, they bond souls, like some monsters do. But, they use wavelengths instead of magic to bond, the one with more HP sends a wave length at the other soul, and the other soul bounces it back with more energy. The demons repeat this process until there's a powerful wavelength being bounced back and forth, and condense the wavelength into a soul state. By this point, the soul sets off to it's desired element."
"The soul separates from it's parents? Isn't that really dangerous?"
"Well, it's only a condensed wave length at this point, so no one but the parents can see it since it's their own wave lengths combined. And you can't really 'destroy' a wave length, since it doesn't technically exist to other beings except for the parents. So, it's easy for demons to abort their children in the early stages of it's life, since all they have to do it absorb their wave lengths back and call it a day. Unlike in soul bonding, where you have to shatter the soul, or in normal birth, where you have to kill thr body."
"I guess that's why I don't see little demon souls floating around everywhere, huh?"
"Yeah. Well, they find an element that corresponds with the wave lengths. Like me, my element is light, and my parents told me I sat by a streetlight and became a light element demon. Demon souls absorb energy from the elements around them while they are building, large amounts at a time, so they only take a month before they've absorbed enough element magic before they go back to their parents souls to build a body from their souls. Then they create a body from energy from their parents, and that's how a demon child is born."
"Didn't expect... Sex ed... Class..." Killer grumbled, using Error to keep himself walking at a reasonable pace.
"Well, it's interesting to learn about different species," Error said, "How we all have different souls, different magic, you know, I like learning things. Like how I actually enjoyed school."
"Because... You nerd..." His friend grunted.
"And you almost repeated 11th grade, so shut it."
"Wait," NettisLettis said, turning around to face the two skeletons, "I can usually recognize certain parts of the forest, can you have them take a picture of their surroundings?"
"Oh, yeah," The stable skeleton said, fishing into his pocket and pulling out Killers phone.
She neds pic of u
Oh, sure
Picture Sending
Picture Sent
Is that good?👌
Yeah, thx.
Wuts Dream doing in da pic?
Oh, he found a baby bird and started playing with it. 🐦
O
Maks sens
Hurry up please, I don't have my brush and Dream isn't a fighter.
Tryn
Error showed the park ranger the photo, seeming in a really good mood.
He actually talked to Ink without him pushing him away!
Sure, he was pretending to be Killer, but still! He had interaction without hateful intentions from his ex!
It's like a Christmas miracle!
... In August.
But still, it was a miracle for the second in command.
An August miracle.
No holiday miracle, just an August miracle inside of a park while he stole someone elses identity.
"We're not too far from there," NettisLettis said, turning sharply to her left, "He's not too deep into the woods, tell him to stay where he is."
"I hate adventures..." Killer groaned.
"Stop leaning on me for everything," Error grumbled, eagerly texting his ex-lover.
"But I don't think... Legs will support... Me..." Killer coughed out.
"That's your problem, I'm pretending to be you to talk to Ink without him running off."
Suddenly, Killer grabbed the phone from Error, shoving it back into his own pocket, making Error voice his objection to that move.
"You a*s!" Error growled, "I was finally able to talk to Inky for once!"
"...Dunno..." Killer said, chuckling, "That's your problem... You cheated on him..."
"Hurry up slowpokes," NettisLettis groaned, "They're right ahead."
And that's when they heard it.
Two male screams and a loud sound of a growling bear.
~~~~~~
Of fricken course Dream had this luck.
Luck wasn't on his side often in the world. His brother hated him, all of his crushes turned him down, hr only got hired because his friend was the Boss, and he never had a single date before. He had few friends, and his obsession for shiny things often drove away new friends.
So it didn't surprise him that much when a bear strolled up to them.
It had caught them off guard, though, when they looked over to a side after hearing footsteps, to see a very tall bear towering over them.
Dream would've peed his pants if he was a human.
When Ink and Dream had spotted it, they both screamed, it roaring loudly as well. Ink instinctly reached for his brush, which was, surprise surprise, gone like they had already established.
Yippie do for them.
The bird Dream was playing was a baby bird he found on the ground, so it couldn't fly out of his hands. So he held it close to his chest as it flailed around, trying to get away from the terrifying beast.
"Hey, I'm only bones!" Ink yelled defensively at the bear.
"Yeah, shoo!" Dream said.
"Shoo?" Ink asked him, looking over with a questioning look.
"I don't know, I'm not a bear whisperer!" Dream yelled.
The bear then decided to make them practically sh*t their pants by running towards them in a threatening manner, probably going to attack them.
Perhaps because they were skeletons, the bear recognized it as a trait it's prey usually contained, and thought there would be meat somewhere on them. Or, perhaps it was running at them for the bird, that couldn't escape if it was brought down. Either way, it was going to attack them.
"Go go go!" Ink yelled, pushing Dream away before they started sprinting full speed away from it.
And since skeletons don't have muscles and bears were much faster then humans, the bear was obviously catching up to them.
"I don't want to die!" Dream squealed as he ran, "I have so many more shiny things to see in the world! And I wanted to keep this bird as a pet and name him shiny!"
"I don't want to die because I like life!" Ink yelled, "And I've always wanted to try a chocolate cake shake from that one restaurant on the other side of the city!"
"And you will Inky!" Errors voice shouted.
Suddenly, two blue strings wrapped around the running skeletons waists, yanking them to the side rather quickly, causing the two to yell from surprise. While Error saved them from the bears path, NettisLettistook action, aiming her magic to neutralize the bears muscles for a bit, hitting him with a stronger beam then Killer.
"He'll be down for 10 minutes," She said, the glowing hammer dissolving into nothing, "Are you two ok?"
"Fine..." Dream grumbled, catching his breath.
"Error?" Ink said angrily, ripping the string from around his waist, "What are you doing here?"
"I helped Killer find you guys," Error said, grabbing Killer by his shoulders and practically tossing him to Dream, "Help him walk, he insulted the park ranger and got hit. He can't really walk on his own."
Dream yelped when Killer crashed into him, falling against a tree to keep himself standing.
"Keep falling... On you..." Killer chuckled.
"Yeah, we do, don't we?" Dream asked softly.
"Well, don't just stand there cuddling," NettisLettis said, putting her hands on her hips, "Let's get out of here already, so I can enjoy my life and instead of watch a skeleton almost get attack by a bear again."
"C'mon Killer," Dream said, helping stand Killer against him, "Lean against me."
"You're helpful..." Killer groaned, rubbing the top of his skull.
And thus, they walked out of the large park together.
Error kept trying to walk next to Ink, but he kept speeding up or slowing down to avoid him. Killer used Dream to keep himself up for a few more minutes before he could walk on his own without falling again. And NettisLettis was talking to Dream about the baby bird in his hands, which he declared he was going to keep and name 'Shiny'. She was describing what type of bird it was, their habits, likes and dislikes, ect.
"So, here's the parking lot," NettisLettis said, gesturing to it, "If your going to make out, do it at home, not here. See you guys."
And with that, she lazily walked away, her hands shoved into her pockets and her back slouched a bit.
"Soooo..." Error dragged on, standing next to his manager.
"So shut up and leave me alone," Ink grumbled, waving Dream and Killer goodbye before walking to his car, Error following.
"Please, Inky," Error begged the artist, leaning against the car as Ink opened the drivers door, "Won't you let me apologize? I saved your life, twice."
"I didn't need your help," Ink grumbled, buckling himself up before taking a small glance at Error, "But... Thank you, for both those times. Now get off of my car."
Error obliged, backing away as the car started, watching his ex drive away from the park into the road, disappearing around a corner.
"He said thank you!" Error squealed, hopping up and down in his spot, "That's progress!"
"More then you've ever made in Minecraft," Killer chuckled, "You didn't last the first night before a creeper blew you up."
"It took you four years to ask out Horror, so shut up."
