Much too long to make you wait for this, and its not even the main event. Got distracted with work and other Fics (reading them not writing them) Hopeing to get back on track now. Enjoy this cute little filler.
You wake up groggy again as random thoughts kept running through your head. Sleep had been less than restful as, while your body was tired, your brain just didn't seem to want to turn off. You could hardly blame it. Your basic understanding of what was real and what wasn't had pretty much been shattered. What did all of this mean? You were sure now that somehow you really had been talking to Sans through your computer, no matter how impossible, or how crazy, it was. No AI system was that complex, certainly not one that would be hidden away in a game as an easter egg. But did that mean that the game was real? In theory there were multiple worlds and dimensions, where anything and everything could, would, will and has happened but how on earth did that translate to suddenly being able to have a chat with a character from a computer game? Were you talking across dimensions or was the game itself a world on your PC?
You look over at your clock. There was still a little over three hours before you needed to head out. Maybe if you just shut your eyes your could get another hour or two. You had a feeling you were going to need it for your next chat with Sans. Slowly you feel yourself dip down into sleep.
Drifting back awake you glance at your clock again...you had only dozed off for ten minutes, this was really not working. Sighing, defeated, you get up and shower before grabbing some coffee and a decent breakfast for a change. Maybe if you load up on caffeine and keep your stomach happy you could keep yourself going through the day. Sleep would have to wait till tonight. As you keep yourself busy with a bit of tidying up your eyes kept being drawn back to your PC. It would be really late at the moment for Sans but...well if he didn't answer right away that would not be a problem. Nothing lost, nothing gained.
A mix of excitement, curiosity, wonder and fear rolled through you as you sink down into your chair and knock your PC out of sleep mode. You didn't even worry about opening anything else and instead go strait to bringing up the notepad. A quick glance at yesterday's conversation leads you to scroll down to the bottom.
'Sorry, couldn't sleep. I guess I'm excited/nervous for our chat later today.' You wait, but there is no answer. Sighing to yourself you can't help feel disappointed but you knew Sans was likely asleep at this time. After all it was still quite a few hours till the time you had arranged to 'talk'.
'Anyway, I've got to head out for a few hours but afterwards we can both try and get this figured out.' You are about to close the document when you notice the text cursor move to a new line. For some reason though, nothing is typed.
'Sans?' Maybe you woke him up, would that been good or bad?
'He's sleeping. Sorry.' So you were finally in contact with someone other than Sans? It was quite a different typing style to Sans and even lacked his namesake font. While the text typed out fast there was a fairly large gap between each of the words as they were entered. Wow...that. You had never even thought about talking to any of the other characters...or would that be people? Ugg this was confusing. Well, better make the most of this then, you just needed to handle this better then you had with Sans. Casual. Calm.
'That's okay, I thought as much. I've got to head off soon anyway.'
'I could wake him up. If you needed him. He kinda fell asleep at his desk. I know he can't be comfortable there, I have done it too many times myself, but I don't want to wake him. I don't think he will go back to sleep if I do.'
'No no, let him sleep.' Poor guy had likely worried and stressed himself into a frenzy after the bombshell you had dropped on him last time. So much so it looked like he had actually talked to someone to get some help. Or maybe this person, whom you were pretty sure you recognized, had been working with him from the start.
'Alphys right?'
'How?' Bingo!
'Call it an educated guess.' The nervous typing was the main give away, that and…
'Plus I don't think anyone else would apologize for Sans being asleep.' You can't help but laugh at the thought of any of the other monsters saying sorry for Sans taking a nap. Heck, even Sans wouldn't.
'Oh. That makes sense.'
The pause that followed felt uncomfortable. You were itching to ask more questions, silly things like how everyone was? How were Undyne and her doing? What was it like on the surface? But...you didn't want to scare her and honestly, you didn't want to have Sans angry if you said something you shouldn't. Sans clearly tried to keep everyone at arm's length when it came to timelines, anomalies and now...this, so it would be better if you waited till he was around. That of course didn't stop the monster on the other end.
'Do you like anime?'
A'ww Alphys, she was such an adorable little thing. You guess sticking to anime would be a safe topic. So long as you got her to do most of the typeing, not that that would be hard with the way she geeked out over anime.
'Yup, love it. I know you love Mew Mew Kissy Cutie but what else do you like to watch?' There, that would be a safe topic and this way you could avoid mentioning anime you had here but not in Undertale. It would be intresting to see if it matched up.
'Oh well there's
The typing stopped and you suddenly felt worried. There was no way Alphys would stop like that on her own when she was about to jump into a nerdy rant on soemthing like anime, but that ment...When Alphys gets talking about anime they would get excited and when they get excited...
*later
...they likely make enough noise to wake Sans up.
Again, sorry this is so short, it just felt like a good point to stop at. Working on the next chapter right away ^.^
