Ok I know this is completely random but

I'm pretty sure I screwed something up

woah woah hey
what's up

You know that creepy kid with the like 1/8th life crisis right?

I kind of pissed them off

i mean i talked to them once but i figured they were a little too exorcist to be normal

what do you mean
what happened

Yeaaaah believe it or not I kind of didnt notice. Theyve been nice just some random kid right?

Well as it turns out theyre some sort of. Mass murderer

Aaaaand theyre majorly pissed at me

shit
are they coming after you
do they know your name or what you look like or anything

Lets assume right now they know everyhing about me

I know i messed up ok

But it was a while ago and they havent done anything yet so idk

that's not on you
that's on them for being a creepy little shit or whatever they are
do they know where you live in the mansion cause you might wanna relocate

I havent been back to my room yet so

Honestly I dont know if i should stay in crowds or by myself, theyre just a kid right and tons of people here are superpowered and stuff

did they say what they were exactly because tbh some of what they said was way less kid's stuff and way more the shining

do you need to double back and hide someplace

[Because frankly, he's had it to here with bizarre unknowable evils and he has zero qualms with straight-up murdering one of them. Or just screwing them over. Because he will also do that. Or he'll try.]

Not trying to sound dramatic here but quoting "the demon that comes when people call its name". I thiiiiiink they might be exaggerating?

Already hiding

Shit alex i did not mean to fuck up this bad. I was just trying to figure them out

demon
well thats original
if there here it means they can be killed right?

theres ways to take care of this
it'll be ok

[This is Alex, again, trying to be reassuring. He hasn't had a lot of practice.]

What?? That is so not what i was going for

[Oh my god Alex she's just trying to warn you about Chara. Or she will, when she works up the nerve.]

well what do you suggest
there just casually talking about killing people and stuff, i've seen the horror flicks and this never ends well

Idk. Talking to them? [God that sounds stupid even to her.]

Or to Sans! They know them.

sans? the skeleton guy?
jesus christ

i talked to them once and noped the fuck out when they started harping on and on about death and stuff
they don't know who i am at least so theres that

Omg wait i will call you

[She takes a moment to calm down and actually think about how she's going to tell him. The she finally places the call.]

...Alex?

[Well, all right, they're doing this now. Ordinarily he'd follow up with a flat no and then hang up, but Max actually seems to be in kind of a pickle. So he complies.

There's a faint buzz in the background, like talking over a bad connection, but he's mercifully audible.]

Seriously, are you okay?

[Her voice is shaky, unsure, but not in an obvious panic. Though deep down she's too riled up to even notice the background noise.]

Uhh, I think I just need to calm down. And, okay, there's something else, but... Promise me you'll try not to freak out.

Yeah. Yeah, okay. I won't.

[His tone carries all the light assurance of someone who very much doesn't know where this is headed and is almost certain that he won't like it but is really honestly trying to keep it together because Max sounds kind of on the verge of freaking here.]

I've seen some weird shit, all right? It's cool.

[Thank god he's handling well so far. Though Max is still obviously tense, her voice hesitant, at least until she's gotten it all off her chest.]

Chara asked me to show them some pictures one time, and... Uhh, I showed one of the Mystery Mansion ones. [Slight pause here as she tries to keep her voice calm.]

Durng the tour... with you in it. And, uhh, I said we were friends, so... they know who you are.

[Crap. A sick feeling lodges itself in his gut in the lead-up and Alex grimaces as she drops the bombshell.]

Okay... [He draws out the word a syllable or two longer than he should as he struggles to keep his tone steady.] That - uh, that could be a problem.

[Putting it mildly.]

[Sounding calm becomes really difficult. She inhales sharply, a brief pause before she spills out her apology.]

I know. I'm so, so sorry, Alex. I swear, I had no idea. They had this whole... orphan kid story. Maybe it's true, I don't know.

[The breath she was holding in comes out as a groan.] I'm sorry.

[Aw Jesus no. This - this could be bad, yeah, but this isn't as bad as it could be, right?

...No, yeah, no. This is actually pretty bad.]

It's okay, it's - we can fix this, they don't know where I am, right?

[The urgency in his voice tumbles forward. It's not like room 44, floor 4 is all that hard to remember.]

They don't, right?
