He really should have thought of this sooner, Gaster thought as he set up the portal’s scanner around Dings. He’d been curious about his alternate’s universe for a while but hadn’t actually considered scanning him to go there. Granted, a large portion of the reason for that was because he wasn’t sure how the fact that Dings was very much still in the void would affect that. But, the closest the portal had come to to accidentally being open to the void (intentionally was another matter, one that he didn’t like to think back to) was a simple static over the image of the other world. Obviously, that still made it unsafe to pass through, but he knew how to fix that. And besides, the scanner would let him choose which of the universes Dings had been in to open the portal to. He just would avoid the voidal readings.

And he did just that, opening the portal safely into the other’s world. It seemed they were in Waterfall. He smiled at Dings. “READY?” And who knew, if Dings was currently viewable in this world and he went to his own universe through the portal instead of the void, maybe he’d be currently viewable to the others there too!

". . . I HAVE TO ASSUME THAT IT DOESN'T WORK THE SAME WAY. IT'D PROBABLY BE MORE SIMILAR TO USING AN OVEN? AND THEN THERE ARE THINGS CALLED TOASTER OVENS . . ."

Did his universe not have toasters at all then? Not even something similar? He wanted to see for himself.

He … he really had never seen a toaster before? Even the Underground had had toasters, or at least a version of them, and they didn’t look too different from the Surface ones.

Granted, Dings was from an alternate universe. Maybe they didn’t in his world. Or it looked different and they called it something different.

“IT … TOASTS THINGS. THAT’S WHY IT’S CALLED A TOASTER. BREAD, BAGELS, WAFFLES, THINGS LIKE THAT. HEATS THEM UP AND MAKES THEM CRISPY.”

He really has not seen a toaster before. It does look a little weird compared to a normal toaster due to the whole partial disassembly thing, but all together it is recognizable as a toaster. 

[Oh! That makes sense] More poking of the toaster. [Why do you need a toaster to make bread crispy? Can’t you use a stove?]

@fragmentingtimespace Rebloged for a Brennyn starter!

It was very rare that Brennyn was by them self. They didn’t want to leave Martin by himself, defenseless, and also simply felt better being near Martin. But, with the near escape of Chaos... They didn’t want to risk being near him in fear of hurting him...

So They’re was wandering, not sure what universe they’ve stumbled into, or how potentially dangerous it was for a vaguely human looking child to be here.

Rubiks was also tall and out for groceries; what a coincidence! Though most of his consisted of microwave pizza, soda and Twinkies.

He jumped a little when Fallen called him by name, not expecting (or really wanting) a Gaster to strike up conversation. The mention of The Bat made him pause though. Galaxy threatened him sometimes, but she wouldn't send someone to kidnap him or something would she?

"Uh... yeah, dat's me." He replied, deciding to give Fallen the benefit of the doubt until his ability said otherwise. He'd still mind his distance as he took on a relaxed persona. "Hope she hasn't been spreadin' rumors. Either way, it's nice ta meet ya Fallen. Not everyday I get ta see one of Galaxy's friendos."

They finally meet

(( Closed starter for @theparasitefam​ ))

Fallen was out picking up groceries, as he is technically the responsible adult of the family. However we all know galaxy is the real bad ass. Fallen just happens to look scary with his tallness and edge. However he has noticed someone that he has been told about vaguely! And told he should meet sometime.

“Hey, You’re Rubiks right? I’m Fallen, Galaxy has,,, told me about you?“

He’s trying to be sociable.

“...Yeah...” Life is momentarily distracted from their paranoia by the surroundings, staring upwards to look at the gems in the ceiling. Cool...this place is so nice in person...

A human?

Const frowned. "THAT'S WEIRD. SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE VOID MAYBE? DID IT USED TO BE LIKE THAT BEFORE YOU FELL IN?" It sounded concerning to be sure.

"I . . . DON'T THINK THAT WOULD WORK, DINGS. BUT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIND SOME MATERIALS IN THERE, AND A TRANSFIGURATION SPELL WOULD BE EXCELLENT."

Chekilli smiled. "Well, I've just finished my side of the magic scan, so I can go find that spell for you while you do your side, and Dings can look through the pile?"

Gaster nodded. "THANK YOU, SAMUEL."

"Of course."

voidscattered

While they were doing that, Chekilli started a magic scan on where the door had been located.

Const blinked as Dings dumped everything out. “THAT’S, UH … WOW. HOW … HOW DO YOU HAVE THAT MUCH STUFF IN YOUR INVENTORY?” Maybe his universe just had larger inventories? Or did the void affect him in a different way? And while he could understand if he forgot where some things came from, how could he not know if this was everything? “… CAN YOU NOT FEEL WHAT’S IN YOUR INVENTORY?”

Still, though, he emptied his own inventory alongside Dings’. There was … notably less of a quantity of items there. But most of it was tools that he used to work on small projects at home. Aside from some snacks, there was also a small container of treats for Kolaswv. He checked the tools over and sighed in relief. “I THINK WE AT LEAST HAVE ALL THE TOOLS WE NEED TO BUILD A CONNECTOR. NOT THE MATERIALS, THOUGH …” He looked down at his feet. “… AND WHO KNOWS HOW WELL I’D BE ABLE TO USE THEM LIKE THIS. I’M NOT GOOD ENOUGH AT TELEKINESIS TO DO THE DELICATE WORK THAT THIS WOULD NEED, EITHER.”

Chekilli glanced over. “Well for materials, all you’d need is a transfiguration spell, right?”

[My inventory’s kind of… Glitched out I suppose you could call it?? I honestly don’t know how it does that but things tend to bunch together as “junk” because it’s not particularly useful most of the time?] wow all that to explain how he carries a bunch of junk. [Kind of?? it’s like I know there’s stuff in it but I don’t always know what, like it’s disconnected or something…]

It’s kind of funny how one of them has the actual tools while the other has potential materials. [Well we might be able to find some of the stuff… around? Or in some of the random junk?] Oh yeah- the problem they were big dragons. [Well… maybe if we practice beforehand? And used the tips of claws or other things to nudge things???] I doubt that would work as well as you think it would Dings.

[Oh! A transfiguration spell is a good idea!]

[voidscattered]

"OH, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA, DINGS," Const said, leaning over to instinctively sniff the spot that the door was in. "IF IT HAS A TRACE IN EITHER PLACE, THEN SAMUEL CAN DO A MAGIC SCAN FROM THAT SIDE AND I CAN DO ONE FROM MY SIDE. AND I-" At this he took something out of his inventory. "-HAPPEN TO HAVE A SONIC SCREWDRIVER AS WELL. SO WE CAN DO THAT FROM THIS SIDE TOO IF IT COMES TO IT."

"Oh, that's an excellent idea, Wing!"

Const smiled, then looked back at Dings. "CAN YOU EMPTY YOUR INVENTORY SO WE CAN SEE WHAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE? I'LL DO THE SAME FOR MINE, TOO."

voidscattered

“MAYBE, BUT THE TRANSFORMATION ITSELF WASN’T TOO DIFFERENT I THINK, BESIDES THE FACT THAT IT’S A DIFFERENT CREATURE.”

Chekilli waved back at Dings. He did indeed understand the wingdings; after all, he wasn’t going to just not learn his own monster’s font. What the other brought up, though, concerned him. “Door? Different timeline? What’s going on?”

Const tilted his head uncertainly. “WELL? A RANDOM DOOR SUDDENLY APPEARED IN MY ROOM. WE WENT THROUGH IT, TURNED INTO DRAGONS, AND IT DISAPPEARED. SO, UH. YEAH. WE REALLY SHOULDN’T HAVE GONE THROUGH IT. CURRENTLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET BACK.”

Chekilli let out a breath and was silent for a bit, trying to process what had happened and not panic about it. “… You said the door appeared in your room? I’ll do a magic scan in there and see if there’s any way to bring it back. Worse comes to worst we can see if the Doctor has any ideas … Are you sure it’s a different timeline? Do you have anything to make a connector with?”

The dragon frowned. “NOT ENTIRELY SURE, NO. IT COULD BE A DIFFERENT TIMELINE, AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT UNIVERSE, OR JUST SOME WEIRD MAGICAL THING IN OUR WORLD. WE HAVEN’T STARTED LOOKING FOR MATERIALS YET BUT WE’RE CURRENTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOREST, SO THERE CERTAINLY AREN’T ANY IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY.”

“Right, right …”

[Hmm… That makes sense I suppose!!] Shh Dings is dumb and doesn’t remember when people can understand him.

Dings shifted a bit as Chekilli tried to calm down, managing to keep his balance this time at least! [The door didn’t disappear right away, it had a bit where kind of… faded?? While we were freaking out about being dragons all of a sudden. So it might have a trace in either place?] 

[it feels different, I’m thinking definitely someplace else…] Dings muttered before saying at a normal volume [We might have some things, like I keep some weird stuff in my inventory? So that could be helpful!]

[voidscattered]

"WELL THE DOCTOR ONCE ACCIDENTALLY TURNED ME INTO A DOG SO AT LEAST THE TRANSFORMATION PART WON'T BE TOO BAD I THINK. I JUST . . . DON'T KNOW HOW WE'RE GOING TO GET BACK . . ."

Kolaswv nudged the correct buttons on the phone with his nose, starting the video call. Upon first seeing the dragons, confusion crossed the wizard's face.

Const gave an embarrassed smile. "AH, HI, SAMUEL . . ."

His eyes widened at the sound of the dragon's voice. "Wing? What happened?"

"UH . . . DRAGONS? YEAH. SOMEHOW. NOT SURE HOW."

voidscattered

Const gave an uncertain chuckle, nudging Dings with his snout to help him rebalance. “NO KIDDING.”

He let out a small breath, taking stock of their situation. He considered flying out over the forest to see if there was any civilization nearby, then remembered that he didn’t know the first thing about flying and he would probably hurt himself before he could find help.

Perhaps, though …

He attempted to take out his phone and breathed a sigh of relief. “INVENTORIES STILL WORK AT LEAST. KOLASWV?”

The axial, previously still dumbstruck by the sudden transformation of those around him, snapped to attention at the sound of his person calling him.

The dragon nudged the phone towards him. “CAN YOU CALL SAMUEL? I THINK MY FEET ARE TOO BIG TO PRESS ANY SPECIFIC BUTTON RIGHT NOW.” He paused. “ON SECOND THOUGHT, VIDEO CALL HIM.” Thank the stars Alphys figured out how to make touchscreens that registered both physical and magical contact.

The nudge is very helpful! More helpful than the limb flailing at least. Man having six limbs when you’re used to none is hard. He flops on his butt and curls his tail around himself sort of to create a stabilizing base. Seeing Const pull out his phone makes him perk up though, twisting his head to get a better look. [Oh good! I might have things in my inventory we can use too then!]  Like lemons or something.

Dings leans over to watch the video call, using the extra set of legs to help balance himself more. [I wonder how we’re going to explain this.]

He gave the other an uncertain smile. “RIGHT … RIGHT …”

Const took a breath, lifting his head up though still staying curled into Dings. “OKAY. OKAY WE JUST GOTTA THINK. THIS IS FINE. THIS ISN’T THE VOID, WHICH MEANS WE’RE PROBABLY IN EITHER SOME OTHER DIMENSION, OR SOME WEIRD MAGIC THING IN MY WORLD. EITHER WAY, WE’VE GOT A WORKING PORTAL. WE JUST … HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BUILD A CONNECTOR SO IT CAN FIND US …” He looked down at his claws. How would they even be able to do that without dexterous hands or the right tools?

[This isn’t the void so there’s actually things here! Things we can use! And we have more limbs to use!] he attempts to lift up both sets of forelegs at once and nearly flops over, making a weird noise. [Limbs we need to get used to…] 

[theparasitefam]

"Ah... Not really?" He raised a brow. "I ain't exactly da most blocky dudebro. N I'm blue-" He grinned and did an odd bounce/sway as he quietly sung. "-da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa..." He didn't finish it. But know that he could, in theory.

Rubiks barely even noticed. Or at least, he didn't know how long Fallen's shopping trips were- For all he knew this happened all the time. He didn't quite care to learn otherwise.

They finally meet

[theparasitefam]

Ayyyy, fingerguns- Rubiks fingergunning back then. Sweet, one point." One point to himself, at least. He should! That sounds. Relatively important. "Ah... Nah, brah. I'm p neutral to em." He shrugged. "Dey're colorful and p easy ta mess wit tho." That's about as much as he thought, really. Video games are where it's at.

They finally meet

[theparasitefam]

"Uh... Don't worry 'bout it." Rubiks didn't quite feel like explaining much of anything today.

He raised a brow, but oh well. Not like he had a copyright on the word. "Haha, dat's fair. It only matters when ya need it anyhow, yeah?" He examined a Cars soup before putting it back.

He turned to look at Fallen upon noticing the brief hesitation, just watching. "Uh... huh..." Rubiks couldn't use his ability properly, so there was no telling if he was actually lying or not... But he didn't like the off sound of it. Cheerfulness didn't do much to help either.

However, Rubiks was not going to start a confrontation in the middle of the supermarket. Or at all. "Ah. Dat why dey call you Fallen?" He asked with a supposed-to-be teasing grin.

They finally meet
