"I repeat, would you like go join me or not?"

Dust hesitated for a moment. He had talked a lot, more than he was used to and his voice was sore.

"Eghh- fine.." He sighed as Nightmare took his arm put for him to shake and he shook it lightly, his sleeve raised slightly and showed the marks of his past... Incidents bringing a small look of pity from Nightmare.

Soon in a flash he was in a new room, he was in a room in the same position with Killer and Nightmare but instead there were two new people.

One of them was awfully tall, he looked like him but had one large red eyelight, well it was used as one at the very least, and he had a large gap taken out of his skull, he sat there tapping his finger staring at Dust.

The other looked less like him, he had monotone clothing, black and white and X's marking on it everywhere. He did have some red on him however. He one red eyelight and a red slash under his other eye socket. He was sitting next to Horror but was more intrigued about his arrival.

Nightmare then spoke up, "these are your new roommates and more importantly, your teammates, they will accompany you on some mission." Dust nodded his head not wanting to work his voice out anymore, it was already sore.

Nightmare sighed before continuing, "now, from now on you may call me boss and that's it. I'll show you your room now."

Nightmare lead Dust up the stairs and into a room right next to the stairs, once he opened the door it showed a moderate sized room, bigger than his in his AU, he had a bed and a bed stand and that's about it. It had a grey walls and grey bed sheets, the rest was up to him to change.

Nightmare sighed as Dust looked around the room, "this is where you'll stay, I don't really care what you do with it go crazy, you're allowed to change anything in this room just nothing outside of it, and try to keep the outside of your door the same. All that will change with that is I'm going to to put your name outside of it like the others."

Dust nodded as Nightmare sighed once again, must be something he does a lot. Probably quite tired. "I will be heading to my room now, if you need anything ask Killer, he will know the most out of your teammates."

And with that Nightmare left the room shutting the door softly with his tentacle. Dust stood there with no idea as to what to do, he decided to sit on his new bed, it was weirdly soft and comfortable. He sat there and looked at the wall next to his wall. It was very blank, he never really was a fan of things being blank, hallow, empty, it reminded him too much of what he had done.

He got off his bed and headed down the stairs into where the main area was, he saw Cross and Horror sitting on the couch, watching the television, Killer however was in the kitchen surfing through different food.

Dust felt a deep feeling, almost pain in his throat. He swallowed deeply trying his best to force that anxiety down and took a deep breath.

"Hey, you're Killer- right?" Killer popped his head up at Dust and immediately grinned. "Ay! Heya new kid." He stood up to Dusts height, well he was a little shorter than Dust was. "Yep that's my name! What's up kid?"

Dust felt a little less anxious about asking Killer for something, he was weirdly warming, almost gave off big brother vibes.

"Hm well boss said to ask you if I need something uh- do you happen to have a pencil anywhere?" Killer gave him a lopsided look, "well sure I do! Gimme a sec!" He burrowed through a small drawer with a bunch if different junk in it and grabbed a pencil that had a pretty decent eraser and a sharpener to put with it.

He handed it to Dust, "will this do?" "Oh- uh yeah! Thank you." He mumbled into his scarf. "No problem bud, just reach out to me if you need somethin'!"

With that Dust nodded his head and walked back to his room and worked on the wall. He drew small sketches, big sketches, random sketches, and things his mind would randomly travel to.

Weirdly enough he was a decent drawer, he personally enjoyed drawing and thought his sketches were fine, not fantastic however but Papyrus would always admire how good they looked causing him to blush of embarrassment.

By now his sketches had been everywhere on the wall making it feel a little less empty. A lot of it was strange, like random drawing of scribbles, some drawings of more gore like scenes and other things along the lines but it made Dust feel a bit more comfortable with what was now on his walls making him feel less empty.

Soon his door opened and the tall one walked in, Horror. His expression looked blank like nothing was on it.

"..Dust, isn't it?..." Dust nodded. He walked over and took a glance at his drawings before looking back at him. "... What..... What happened to you..?" Dust hesitated.

"I- uh- killed everyone..." Those words were familiar to him, he'd told himself over and over again.

Horror sighed, he expected that really. ".. Alright.. Thank you.." He stood for a second and then sat on the floor next to Dusts bed where he sat.

".. You're a good drawer.." "Oh uh- thank you.." His face flared with that same blush he wore when his brother complimented him.

For the next few hours they spoke about random things, their aus, their experiences, and about how they came to Nightmare.

Of course it didn't stop at that, they spoke about their likings and other things like that, until it was night.
