"Alright, tell us again what happened."
Sans sighed and kneaded his forehead.
"The kid broke into my room, tried to kill me, I threw him across the room, you guys showed up, and the kid fled." The skeleton deadpanned. The (stupid) police officer that was interrogating him nodded and stood up.
"Alright," she muttered, giving Sans an awed look. "Sir, you have no idea how lucky you are to have survived. That man was-"
"Jeff The Killer, I know," Sans interrupted tiredly. He was getting sick and tired of people congratulating him on surviving, it wasn't that difficult in all honesty.
Plus the guilt that he had let Jeff go ate at him more and more every time someone congratulated him.
After the little shit had stabbed him and he'd collapsed, he'd been rescued by Toriel, who'd been on her way to the toilet and heard him fall.
Sans shivered, imagining what would've happened if Toriel hadn't been up.
He'd be dust. Frisk would have an internal debate about whether or not they'd reset. Toriel and Alphys would be torn up about his death. Undyne would probably hunt done the punk that killed him and kill him in return. Chara and Flowey probably wouldn't give a shit either way. And Papyrus…
Sans shivered. Papyrus would retreat in on himself, entering a deep depression. Then he'd slowly work his way out of it, but he wouldn't be the same. And after that…
Sans shivered again. After that, Papyrus would pull an Undyne and hunt down Jeff, but he'd be more ruthless, less caring, driven by more of a bloodlust then Undyne.
How does he know?
Simple.
Because it's happened before- in the other Genocide Route, the one where Sans died first.
Sans shuddered. From what Chara had told them, Papyrus had searched endlessly for them, hungering for their blood.
It had scared them, they'd told Sans. Actually terrified them.
"-ans? Sans?" Said skelly started, looking up.
"Heya Frisk," he greeted them. The fifteen year old pressed a laptop into his hands. Sans knit his nonexistent eyebrows.
"Whats this?" he asked. Frisk twisted their hands together.
I-I searched up 'Jeff The Killer' on the internet, and this came up, they signed, gesturing towards the laptop. Sans stole a glance towards the screen.
" ?" he read aloud. "Whats a creepypasta?" Frisk sat down next to him.
Internet horror stories, they said. Except some of them are real. Sans gulped, suddenly nervous.
"And this site tells you about them?" he asked. a semi-thoughtful look dawned on Frisk's face.
Eh, sort of, they said. It gives you their 'origins,' more or less, they stood up. It basically tells you how they became what they are now.Sans nodded, turning back to the screen. He jumped when Frisk tapped him on the shoulder.
"Yeah?" he asked. Frisk played with the hem of their oversized sweater.
Don't read them before bed, they warned. Some of them… Frisk shuddered. Even Chara said a few of them were to much. Sans cocked an eyebrow, staring back at the screen incredulously.
"What could be so messed up that it would scare a demon?" he muttered. Frisk shrugged.
I don't know, they said. I didn't read that many. Sans looked up at them.
"Why read any of them, if they're so messed up?" he asked. Frisk sighed.
They say ignorance is bliss, they signed tiredly. While that may be true, not knowing can get you killed. If these things are real… Frisk shuddered.
Then we are in for one hell of a ride.
~Meanwhile, in a very secret location that is definitely not a mansion in a forest~
"Wait, he threw you across the room?" EJ asked incredulously. Jeff nodded, rubbing away at a bruise.
"He was a skeleton too," the smiling psycho said. "Not like a Noodle kind of skeleton, but a more… cartoony-one for lack of a better term." LJ snorted.
"'Cartoon Skeleton'?" He asked. Jeff absentmindedly chucked a knife at him. The monochrome entity dodged it with ease.
"Shut it clown," he muttered. EJ rolled his 'eyes' at the two's antics, then promptly screamed like a little girl and fell off his chair when BEN popped out of the computer screen.
"Jesus Christ BEN!" he gasped. "Don't do that!" The videogame glitch rolled his eyes.
"So, I did some research like you asked me to, and this is what came up:" he said as he held out a block of code. The three Noodles stared at it blankly, till Jeff spoke up.
"Yeah, uh, we're not computer geeks like you are, what's it say?" BEN shot a glare at Jeff.
"I'm not a nerd, I'm a computer virus," he muttered as he waved his hand over the block. Immediately, the little bits of code started to rearrange themselves, forming letters, punctuation, and numbers. BEN handed the now readable cube off to LJ and started floating off towards the monitor again.
"Wait- BEN!" He held the cube out towards him. "You don't wanna read it?" The videogame glitch snorted, floating up into the air and onto his back.
"I did read it," he said, then paused. "Well, kind of. It's more like I absorbed the information- you wouldn't understand." Jeff sighed and kneaded his temples. BEN, sensing that Jeff was about to chuck a knife at him, quickly hurried on with his explanation.
"Besides," he said. "I didn't understand half of it, even after 'reading' it several times." He frowned. "It's a lot about magic, and some kid rescuing some monsters or whatever… sounds like a game to be honest…" BEN suddenly cocked his head to the side as if listening for something.
"Someone's on cleverbot," he muttered. "They want to talk to 'The real BEN Drowned'..." He chuckled evilly.
"Seeya guys later," he said, before turning himself into a group of pixels and travelling through the computer. EJ sighed.
"Makes me wish I was an E-spirit***," he muttered before turning around and consulting the block of code.
"Alright, let's start reading…"
~30 minutes later~
"I still don't get it!" Jeff fumed. EJ sighed; Jeff was marginally smarter than the average human, but he still had his moments where he acted like a complete and total moron.
"The humans sealed the monsters underground a long time ago," LJ repeated tiredly for what was probably the fortieth time. "A human fell down, befriended the prince, accidently poisoned the dad, then ate the poison themselves, let the prince absorb their SOUL or whatever, the prince went to the surface, got killed, several other humans fell down and were killed, then this kid Frisk fell down and managed to free everyone by being a pacifist or whatever." Jeff stared at him blankly. LJ groaned and hit his head against the table; forcefully and repeatedly.
"Oh… oh! Hey, I get it!" Jeff exclaimed suddenly. There was a collective cheer from the two Jack's, who had been here for 30 minutes trying to get the story through Jeff's thick skull. Jeff rolled his eyes at their over exaggerated cheering.
"Shut it you two," he grumbled, observing the story. "BEN's right though, it is a lot like a video game." LJ nodded in agreement, while EJ stood up.
"Not that this hasn't been fun," he said, standing up and walking towards the exit. "But I'm hungry. Seeya guys later." the cannibal exited the room, and Jeff stared at LJ dubiously.
"You've got a kid to go kill, haven't you?" He deadpanned. LJ grinned sheepishly.
"Hey, as Clocky would say, their time is up," he said. "Seeya Jeff." The monochrome clown then vanished in a puff of black smoke.
Silence.
Then-
"Well, now I'm bored. Great."
***An E-spirit is a spirit that lives and breathes technology, much like BEN. They can turn themselves into pixels and travel through computers. Pretty awesome if you ask me.
Ok, so, I went through and added the entire scene with the Noodles because the original chapter was 500 words excluding the author's note, and I was like: 'Screw this, the prologue was 1400 words, I CAN DO BETTER!'
So then this happened, and now the chapter is 1200 words. YAY.
More things to go over:
Frisk and Chara are non-binary
Frisk uses sign language
Frisk will refer to Chara as 'Miss Genocide' and Chara to Frisk as 'Miss Pacifist' despite their status as non-binary.
Frisk and Chara are 'twins', they're both fifteen
Ok, that's it- wait, no it isn't, I've an inquiry for you guys:
Which Noodle (creepypasta) do you wanna see next? I've already got part of chapter 3 written out though, so the Noodle wont appear till chapter 4, likely. I know I asked you this last chapter, but whatevs.
Ok, now I'm done.
Au Revoir, little biscuits!
