Hehe, time for some fun. Oh and to those that think Sans is being a little harsh just remember that he has no idea what the 'anomaly' is capable of. For all he knows they could have snapped their fingers and opened the barrier in a second instead of trying to insert themselves into everyone's lives. Also keep in mind that a certain someone has been reseting and playing with timelines long before Frisk came along and while those memories might not be the most focused they are still there. The 'anomaly' has pretty much become Sans's go-to whenever anything bad or unexplained happens. Im sure you can forgive him for being a little Judgement'al.
*urinal lot of trouble buddy!
OK that caught you a little off guard. Why on earth was Sans so hostile? You hadn't done anything wrong. Unless? You smile as you realize what was going on, that of course he would be acting annoyed. You had added an unknown document to the game files. It might have just been a harmless letter to the characters but the game didn't know that. Honestly this was no different to the 'Dirty Hacker' ending you could get from messing around with the coding to see different endings. You had to admit it was a very creative way to get people's attention to the fact that messing with the game was not a very nice thing to do. No one liked the thought of tangling with Sans. That said...
'Wow Sans, I didn't think you would resort to toilet humor' You laugh at your own pun even as you type it but are stopped short when you actually SEE the text cursor move to a new line and start typing of its own accord.
*it only happens when something really pisses me off.
OK this is starting to get a little creepy. How many responses had Toby coded into this thing? Was it like a hidden chatbot or something? Wouldn't that have been too big to hide in the code? Then again people did have those things on web pages so maybe they weren't actually that big. Feeling a little less enamored with this new side of your favorite character you try and roll with it to see if things can get a little better.
'Going a little blue there Sansy. What rattled your bones?' You wait expecting to see the cursor move again but it just remains blinking at the end of your text. It was disappointing but it looked like you had reached the end of the script.
*you know about blue stop signs? OK maybe not. Perhaps it had just taken longer for the script to find a response to use. You had mentioned 'blue' so the coding must have pulled the information about the blue attacks. Wow that could mean there might be a lot of different response options scripted into this thing.
'Blue means stop.' You decide to keep what you type short and simple so as to not confuse the AI. It was going to be fun trying to work out what words triggered what responses.
*Good. keep that in mind.
You barely get to read the text before you screen freezes and a warning tone starts coming from your headphones. Confused you try to bring up the task manager with your keyboard but are nearly blinded when the screen goes black for a second before blazing a deep and unsettling blue. For a good minute all you can do is sit in your darkened room and stare at the blue screen as it continued to save and search for the error that had caused the crash.
Undertale had just blue screened you? What. The. Hell? You are used to the game 'crashing' on you, it was just how the game like to mess with your expectations, but to crash your whole PC? That didn't seem...safe. OK, so maybe this wasn't a real blue screen, just a fake one to make you panic. That made more sense. You try to go back to windows or bring the task manager up again but nothing seemed to work. It was tempting to hit the restart button but you were reluctant. If this really was a blue screen you didn't want to interrupt while it was sorting out your files. So you wait.
When your PC does finally reboot it goes through the expected speil of 'You have just suffered a crash' and 'Would you like to scan for viruses' all the usual things, which kinda ruled out the fake blue screen theory as you didn't think there would be any way to fake that. So it looks like it really had crashed. Weird. Everything seemed to be in order now but...you glanced over at the document sitting on your desktop. It was tempting to just drop it in the recycling bin and be done with all this. Your cursor hovers over the file before you pull it away and bring up your web browser. Someone had to have had this sort of thing happen to them before. You start your search.
But you quickly run into a deadend. There were very few mentions of the game blue screening but those you could find were either from people just having problems running the game, something you had never had a problem with, heck you wern't even IN the game; or from discussions that thought it would be a cool addition for the hardcore mode, which was apparently still in development. You guessed it could have been a teaser from the hardcore mode, though having it happen to you had proven to be a lot less fun than the way others thought it would turn out. Realizing you're not going to get much more help from Steam you close everything down and make sure to back your PC up before opening the document again.
It was all there. Not a line was missing. Everything was saved from the point of the crash, even though you knew you had not saved it yourself. The text cursor sits blinking at the bottom of the page expectantly. You wait for something to happen, a little worried to type anything else until you pluck up enough courage and press enter. Still nothing happens. Well this wasn't going to get you anywhere. Maybe you just had to avoid the word 'blue', or anything to do with crashing.
'That wasn't very nice.' You type and watch the cursor. One blink, two blinks, three blinks.
*hu? what wasn't very nice? you mean this?
"God damnit SANS!" For the second time that night you see blue.
