Sly nodded slowly and he smiled thankfully. “Thank you so much Anubis,” he said with a smile before blinking a little at the squared jaw. “…c-come with me?! But what if this is a trap! I mean me getting dragged into it is one thing, but you?” and Sly whined about this, looking worried. “T-Team work is one thing but I might be walking into a death sentence and what if I drag you into it!?”

Anubis gave Sly a look.

        ❝ If it is a trap! Then it is better if there are            two of us than just one! ❞

He didn’t like the idea and the thought it was a trap really did not settle Anubis at all. His still just shook his head, a hand moving to take slowly take Sly’s within his own. Giving the other’s hand a very firm squeeze, even beneath his oven mitt.

        ❝ Besides! If it is a death trap for one, it may            not be a death trap for two! ❞

Which would mean taking other’s off guard, and or at least breaking what was wanted of them both here. After all ... Anubis could practically guarantee no-one would expect his coming along in this situation. No one ever seemed to see him coming. And, with how he could hold himself . . .

Well, surprise surprise. The pretender might have a few tricks up his sleeve.

“… If you can tell me how to do it, I can I don’t want to drag you into something with my father that might be a trap, but I know exactly where Sneaky is now,” he said but did not specify how. People could be listening.

He saw the shudder and he frowned worriedly, knowing Anubis’ feelings for his father. They were very similar after all in their similar hatred for their fathers. “I’m sorry… I know I am asking a lot…it’s awful for me to do this too, considering what just happened,” he admitted softly and he shrank a little.

There was a bit of a cringe, but . . . a slow nod. Kneeling down near Sly. His hand going to open the code between his fingers. Swallowing thickly . . .

          ❝ I . . . I will show you the number value to change. ❞

He looked nervous, glancing to Sly before squaring his jaw.

          ❝ If you were to be the one to do it . . . and I come              with you, I would be okay with that. ❞

He didn’t want to leave Sly alone in the void. That in itself left a very bad feeling in his chest cavity where his soul lay. He was scared of what happened to him. The fact he couldn’t remember what had happened in that space was worrying enough. Especially as everything else had come back.

He glanced over ... and while it was a tad forced, a smile settled across the other skeleton’s skull.

           ❝ Teamwork! Correct? ❞

[slyfont-blog]

Sly tapped his foot softly to the ground and he seemed to consider this for a moment. With the time frames of Sperare’s disappearance, and then Sneaky’s disappearance, coupled with the grey face’s words… “Less than five percent,” Sly finally said softly as if weighing many options.

“It’s a bone deep feeling…heh…” he chuckled weakly clearly using his own puns to try and calm himself down as well, his hands placed in his jacket pockets quietly.

[brotherlless-blog]

There’s a sigh and Anubis ... did not like the sound of that.

Why such a percentage? He did not like this ... he did not like the idea at all. He fuzzily remembered digging through the code ... Pulling the voids fabrics closer to reality but he didn’t know if he even wanted to try anything like stepping into it. Not in his Timeline at least. Not where his father would be so close to the surface.

A sharp shudder unconsciously slipped, a hand rubbing along the side of his arm. But he couldn’t . . . deny Sly this. He had to at least tell him.

         ❝ I . . . might . . . have a way. ❞

His voice was shaky at best.

         ❝ But I’ve only done it once! I . . . I do not know how successful              it was. I can hardly remember . . . what I did after it. ❞

         ❝ There was just . . . a lot of panic. ❞

It was a stumble or two, but Anubis did find Judge at the coordinates given. The trip back ... was much easier. Getting more accustomed to the travel. They appeared .. though it was a ways outside of Snowdin. And Anubis would carry him back . . .

All the way to their once-home.

To a place where Judge could REST.

[brotherlless-blog]

[txt] hey im. really tired and need help. i need to leave this timeline. sending my coords private.

              ❝ … a … message? ❞

Anubis was not used to his phone going off. The general populace finding it perfectly acceptable to simply barge into his timeline without nary a thought or conceding action. Still, he checked it. Finding it to be ‘the Jingle Judge’, he opened it with some mild hesitation. Preparing to be meme’d at.

What he received … was something different.

Glancing to the coordinates, Anubis flipped a hand, checking code and his ability to get there. He could … most likely do it. Though it was going to be rocky on his end.

He couldn’t jump exactly. But plug in the x, y, z axis … that is something he had seen Sly do a number of times. He just … never had the information to take advantage of those axis.

There’s a message sent back.

           ➝ ✉️  [ text sent ]:: ALRIGHT! I WILL                BE ARRIVING SHORTLY. JUST               HOLD ON AND I WILL GET YOU OUT.

And there … the tall skeleton fiddled with the coding. Carefully maneuvering it around before he vanished. To bring Judge back … and let him rest.

[brotherlless-blog]

@slyfont // continued:

        ❝ No. Because I allow just anyone to touch my face. ❞

     Anubis gently moved to cup Sly’s hand in his own. Tilting it inward to press teeth against the palm and nuzzled it lightly. Of course, he wanted to say ... but he could not say that anymore. But he did find Sly’s question a tad ridiculous. Gently he shifted to lean down and tap their teeth together once.

        ❝ Your fever is down ... how did you even let yourself             get this sick in the first place? ❞

@brotherlless

“So…I have a huge problem.” Sly admitted and he leaned down with Anubis, frowning softly. “I think Sneaky might have gone to the void to retrieve Sperare, but I have no way of getting there, or knowing with one hundred percent certainty that it is what happened, though I have a feeling,” Sly said softly to the taller skeleton.

[brotherlless-blog]

Anubis wasn’t too certain what Sly wanted when he first showed up. But, he’d followed the other on a very ... easy walk. Just outside of Snowdin. Mitted hands rested in his pockets, his jacket curling in a bit closer to his body. When Sly finally spoke, eye sockets shifted, looking at Sly for a second.

          “ . . . you said you are not one hundred             percent sure. how much would you             bet that he is simply hiding out             elsewhere? ”

Anubis needed to be sure. He would be more than willing to lend his services, but getting in and out of the void would be a difficult enough task as-is. He had once edited the code ... brought the existence closer ... but he wasn’t too certain if he could do it again.

That memory ... was FUZZY.

7. What’s a negative thing about your character that you enjoy writing?

Mun-Directed Questions // accepting

Gosh darn it Hips …

To be honest? I like writing pretty much everything.

Angst, having his heart torn out, anger, his DT being muddled so much it literally turns him crazy, becoming a lost soul … All of it’s great! I love being able to either vent or feel these mixture of emotions from Anubis.

I think, currently, the thing that I most enjoyed writing for Anubis that had him in a more ‘negative’ space, was actually that talk with Judge on Discord I wrote. Anubis needed that really badly … Even though he won’t admit to having needing it. Just clinging to someone and knowing, for once he was not the only one holding on …

Yeah.

That was really good.

Mun-Directed Questions // accepting

35. Do you ever read other people’s NSFW rp threads? (be honest!)

       … Gonna make me admit to my sins, aren’t you?

Yeah, I do. Between gore, sex, and every thing inbetween I will read other’s threads from time-to-time. To be honest, part of it is to enhance how I myself write it. All of it. There is … (oddly knowing how salty I am) really nothing that bugs me when it comes to NSFW writing.

40. Do you like to plot or improv?

Both! I love a good plot. Keeps the story moving, has a direction so you know where you’re going and neither writer has difficulty keeping up with the other. But then there’s improv with is fun as bananas to do! It’s exciting, you don’t know where things will go or how your muse will progress the conversation. It’s all fun when done well!

Anubis hides as best he can. A soft burble of ' i tried ' slips, muffled from Anubis' mouth. Broken hiccup between a soft sob. he tried so hard.

'i know you did. i know.' He squeezes a bit, reaffirming that he's here. 'i'm proud of you.' And then, humming again.

…

Perhaps you should not have picked up this video.In the video it shows Anubis, wandering into the hallway.

He looks disheveled. Shaky. Even as he smiles. Knocking on the door, calling out Judge’s name. He’s carrying what appears to look like food. Pushing the door open gently, the reaction tells you everything.

His hand slips, the plate drops, the food falls to the floor.

Anubis doesn’t go to pick it up.

Instead, tears began to build at the skeletons eyes, but his smile sticks. It sticks like a mask pathetically trying to cover it up. Slow, bubbled laughter escapes the skeletons throat and he digs through pockets. Flicking through phone screens to seemingly no avail.

Something finally breaks. The laughter that was slow gripped him in hard waves, tears dripping down his face, back landing heavily against a wall. Sliding down. Cackling laughter flipping between caps and lower case. He stays that way for a while.

The beginning of static flickered over his face.

Watching as his words grow more befuddled … and he stands.

It is lucky he does so. There’s a sound of a lock clicking into place and static slips across the video screen.

There is only a small barely heard sentence:

                 “w hhhy do i … c-c-c-care … a nnny m ore ”

Anubis enjoyed filming things. It was how he kept an eye on everyone. It was how he made sure he never forgot anything. Yet here … here …

The film here seems strange … It’s of Anubis’ home. Another tall skeleton, (Cyprus) is with him. Anubis … seems tired. A type of tired that is common in the taller skeletons face. Something that sinks in deeper than bone and just leaves him looking exhausted, from trying so hard.

A gentle hug is received between the two, gently nuzzling into the smaller’s collar before Anubis let’s him out. Waving goodbye and smiling softly. Only when the door shuts does this bone tiredness seem to become more evident. His body slumps, and leans against the door.

Slowly dragging himself away from it, Anubis wanders towards the couch. His body collapsing on top of it.

He’s so tired.

It appears that Anubis had fallen asleep there – a grumble could be heard as a door opens just out of the camera’s view. A small skeleton wandering in past. The red scarf tipping off it was GLITCHY as a blanket is levitating not too far behind the skeleton. Draping over Anubis, then wandering away again.

…

This video seems sentimental.
