Heyy!! :p EriTheM0stknight!!

But you can call me Erin since…somehow you guys know my dads! Derek and Avery. (Dad=derek papa=avery)

…a lot has happened. I’m not adopted like they said I was. I was made by…the king in yellow.

Why? Well since papa didn’t become the vessel and dad did and yadda yadda…he uh…used some magic shit the last of it to make me. A sort of…perfect combination of both vessels.

Fun…

My dads is on here too! @averymayono1 (run by @goobermikusstuff ) and @a-knight-in-gold (run by @aneedleandarose )

Rules below cut.

No NSFW, Erin is a minor. (Age ranging from 14-15 years old)

No slurs, rascism, ablesim, homophobia etc...

If you dont like slimeknight and intend to be rude about it. respectfully move on.

This is an au where nothing bad happened trust

blog is run by @bugginwithsif

Mod is also a minor.

ASK BEFORE INFLICTING GORE OR VIOLENCE!

Don’t flirt with Erin.

Refrain from bullying her or mod. Teasing is fine for Erin. Just be respectful.

Keep in mind. Themes and such will get dark within the story. They will be tags and trigger warnings. Things such as suicidal thoughts, S/H etc…this is in no way meant to glorify them, it is meant for storytelling purposes only.

[erinthem0stknight]

I’ve heard Erin hasn’t been alright.. may I ask what happened?.. if, of course, you feel comfortable with saying..

(I FEEL WEIRD ROLEPLAYING IN A BLOG AS DEREK WHERE THERES LIKE ALREADY A DEREK RUNS OFF AAAAA also I didnt look through some of the posts sobs.. im so cooked..)

“…she’d be glad to know you’re checking in on her, I’ve been trying to sneak in visitors for her. Besides her own dads. She doesn’t like being alone in that room all the time, since she woke up…”

“She…she tried to…uhm…”

They’re hesitant for a moment it’s not an easy topic for him to talk about,

“She tried to…commit…uhm…from what I know..she OD’ed”

“She’s gonna be okay now, her brain isn’t damaged from what I’ve heard. At least to where she can go back to a normal life she had and all, she’s in recovery. Just mostly out of it.”

“Everything with the king…stressed her out so badly and she was so…so scared that…when she hit rock bottom I didn’t know what to do. And she…did the extreme.”

[derek-hutchins]

Oh, god.

Shes alright, which is good. I mean, I know shes not my- this- whatever timelines kid, but its still worrying. Erm.

Anyways. Just, keep me updated if you can, please.

(I FEEL SO SCARED SHAKES)

[erinthem0stknight]

“I-….i will…I- can sneak you in to visit if you want? I’ve mentioned before how I already have but…yknow it wouldn’t hurt..”

(SHES GONNA BE OKAY)

[derek-hutchins]

Yes. Please.

[erinthem0stknight]

“Okay- just…follow me.”

Rowen led Derek to the area closing and guarding the door after they came in, the lights are bright, a room that’s almost all white, flowers by the bedside and a tv in front of the bed. And in the bed Erin.

She’s laying down looking like she’s about to fall asleep

“She- she might think you’re her version of well…you.”

[derek-hutchins]

Ah.. I mean, understandable… I know i’m not your D3rlord3, but is it weird I still feel some sort of fatherly instinct?

(THIS GINGER CHUD. I NEED HIM DEAD NOW/j)

[erinthem0stknight]

“No, i wouldn’t think so. I think it’s mostly that kind of… multiversal connection like…Deja vu?”

“Dad?”

“Can you turn the lights off..?”

(NOOO DONTKILL HIM)

[derek-hutchins]

Derek seemed to pause for a moment. Blinking and adjusting his glasses then turning off the light.

" Yeah. Probably deja vu. "

His voice cracked slightly. He then cleared his throat, slightly off guard.

[erinthem0stknight]

She makes a little grabby motion to him weakly, “I wanna go home…”

[derek-hutchins]

He stood there for a moment. Then walked over to her and hugged her. He was shaking. Why did he feel this? He was scared for this child from a different timeline he didnt even know- stupid-.

" Its okay. You can go home when you’re better. "

Derek hated feeling scared.

[erinthem0stknight]

She weakly hugged back “dad? Why are you shaking…?”

[derek-hutchins]

He held her tighter.

" Nothing. No reason. "

He decided to change the subject.

" Have you been doing alright, though? I mean, I know you’ve been— like, okay. But as in terms of .. mentally. Are you doing a bit better. "

He was stumbling over his words, something he RARELY ever did.

[erinthem0stknight]

“Uhm…it’s okay…not very well so be I’m here,”

[derek-hutchins]

" Yeah, yeah- I— sorry- ive been hugging for too long- uh. "

Derek moved away. He was still kinda reeling from being called dad from a kid who’s… his… kid in.. another… timeline… but.. not hi- ANYWAYS. He adjusted his glasses for like the 40th time and just stood there for a moment. He’s very awkward sometimes isn’t he.

He turned to Rowen.

" .. So. Uh. How’s Avery in this timel-. "

He corrected himself, aware that Erin could probably still hear him and he didn’t want to make her find out that.. he isn’t from this timeline, y’know. Cause that’d suck.

" How’s Avery.. "

[erinthem0stknight]

Erin grumbled once he let go of the hug retreating back to the bed.

Rowen shrugged “Stressed….r-really stressed,”

“Do uh…you need a chair? Water?”

[derek-hutchins]

" Uh- me? S-sure. "

Derek sat down, on a chair and held his head. These damn headaches… he felt those… stupid tentacle things from the King in his eye writhe as his head hurt. Oww… He attempted to calm down. It wasn’t working but he kept a straight face.

(Im actually so glad I rped because I can have my traumatized Derek have a panic attack while pretending to be okay guys he’s so peak/silly)

[erinthem0stknight]

“Dad…you’re hurt…ing…” Erin huffed “I feel it too.”

(:Dddd)

[derek-hutchins]

He looked up from the chair. Staring at Erin, ironically confused.

" You’re… in pain also..? "

He tilted his head in confusion.

(MB FOR MY LATE ASS REPLY I HAD TO DO THINGS!! <\3)

[erinthem0stknight]

She nods softly

“Mhm…”

(ITS OK TWIN DW ALSO SORRY I NEVER TAG REBLOGS IM JUST TOO LAZY)

[derek-hutchins]

" What pain is it, like a migraine, or… "

He tapped his chin in thought, his ginger hair getting in his face a bit as he leaned his head down again.

" I understand if its… an uncomfortable question, but what happened between you and the King. You do not have to answer, though. "

Derek was worried again, he knew everything obviously, so why didn’t he know what happened.. Weird.

[erinthem0stknight]

“I-…my memory is fuzzy….m-migraine…I think…”

She closed her eyes to think

“U-uhm…I-i remember saying part on the…thing and he only had…some access to my mind…a- and the night before th-this..he- managed to slip through in my mind…”

“A-and…”

Her heart monitor started to beep faster,

[derek-hutchins]

" Hey- hey- calm down, Erin. Breathe. I- I’m here. "

Derek waited for her to calm down.

" Take it slow, I understand it’s… horrifying, to say the least. But calm down. It’s alright. He’s not here. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“I-I…I tried to…to get out but I- everything was so quiet I couldn’t move- a-and I tried to fight back…when when I finally gained control…”

She froze for a moment

“Something happened, l-like a shattered mirror…fragments of my own memory but- n-not mine…you and papa- I saw visions- v-voices…”

[derek-hutchins]

" May… you explain more..? Unless you don’t feel like it, of course. "

Derek nodded as he listened.

[erinthem0stknight]

She shook her head vigorously “no- nonono.”

She gasped, her voice gave out as she started to cry “I don’t wanna think about it”

[derek-hutchins]

" O- Okay, breathe, breathe, calm down. "

Derek walked next to her and hugged her again, trying to keep Erin calm. He started to worry again.

" Its alright, dont think about it, he’s not here, its okay. "

[erinthem0stknight]

She sniffled hugging him for dear life her face buried between his neck and shoulder

Rowen speaks up “…I think…I have an idea of what happened?”

[derek-hutchins]

" Hm? Well- I— I don’t believe its appropriate to say while shes panicking.. "

Derek rubbed her back, attempting to soothe her.

(The urge for him to slip up and call her his daughter would make me explode but RAAAAUGGH OH MY HEART OWWW)

[erinthem0stknight]

“No, I’ll wait til later.”

She’s calming down a bit, still hugging him tight for safety.

(AWHEHHEHE OWOWOWLWOEOEOIEISIWIWIW)

[derek-hutchins]

" Good, because I dont think my daugh-… ahem. Erin can handle that… right.. now. "

Derek was going to pretend he never said that. What… ahaaaaah…

[erinthem0stknight]

Rowen stared for a moment

“She…uh..she’s not yours.”

[derek-hutchins]

" It was an accident. "

His voice was.. sharp. He breathed and then apologized for snapping.

" It— I didn’t mean that. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“Sorry- sorry I- I shouldn’t have…” the kid cowered back

Erin grumbled tugging on Derek’s shirt “dad? C-can you take the needle out?” She points to the IV

[derek-hutchins]

" I… fine. It’s gonna hurt for a moment, though.. "

Derek took the IV needle out, trying to be careful.

[erinthem0stknight]

She winced

“I don’t like needles…”

“I wanna go home…home..”

She closed her eyes slowly dozing off

[derek-hutchins]

Derek just watched. He backed away and stared. Why did he call her his daughter?! This wasn’t even his—…

" I need to go outside for a moment. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“Right…just don’t get caught.”

[derek-hutchins]

Derek walked outside, being wary of being caught. He just stared at the grass. He held his glasses in thought.

" I cant believe I— SHIT. I’m— I’m such an idiot! "

[erinthem0stknight]

Rowen simply waited what else could he do?

(NOOOO HES NOT AN IDIOT. Give him his own mini erin)

[derek-hutchins]

After like, 10 minutes, Derek walked back in.

" Alright. Okay, you said had an idea of what happened..? "

(GENUINELY 💔 hes too attached I FEEL BAD FOR HIM AAAUGH)

(IT GLITCHED FOR ME I THOUGHT IT DELETED MY OTHER OOC COMMENT FUHH)

[erinthem0stknight]

“Yeah…she texted me I think during it. It was a lunch of…I don’t know I can’t really describe it.”

They pulled out their phone opening the texts between him and Erin

E”oh my god”

R”?? What happened?”

E”fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck”

E”I’m gonna die”

R”what? I promise you’re not gonna die just talk to me please?”

E”he’s gonna kill mee the voices are too loud I don’t know here I am my head hurts I seeee I see somethinbgb”

R”Erin please what’s happening??”

E”Imscared im scared scared i deem him its looking at me”

E” my parent are gona die I see them he killed them he killed them with me I hurt them nonononononn”

[derek-hutchins]

" … Oh. Eugh.. fuck. So. The — The King.. as you probably know, can take over your mind.. and all… It— Its in mine, actually. The uh, tentacles, and my eye color being yellow are from.. of course, him.. sometimes it can just. Take me over. And I.. cant fight it. Usually i’m asleep when he does, though. "

Derek winced as the yellow tentacles in his eye flared out. He covered his eye quickly.

[erinthem0stknight]

“Yeah…I..figured but also think about it. If you wanted your vessel and you’re an ancient god or something and your chosen vessel was a stubborn as Erin what would you do?”

[derek-hutchins]

" I.. I’d probably keep trying to possess said vessel. Honestly, thats what he’s trying to do with me. I’m, albeit, stubborn as hell, so he, as I said, can sometimes take control. And, from my, aha, knowledge, I don’t believe theres.. a way to stop him. Only way would be the binding ritual, but thats not what we want.. "

Derek sat in thought, before changing the topic a bit.

" What’s your guys’ Derek like. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“I was thinking more of…breaking their will and hope and uh…attachment to reality.”

Rowen sighed “he’s a lot like you.”

[derek-hutchins]

" Huh. Really? How so..? "

Derek tapped his leg on the floor, a thing he tended to do whilst understimulated.

[erinthem0stknight]

“I dunno how to really…describe. You’re just…the same.”

[derek-hutchins]

" I see.. ….. Could I meet him, maybe? "

[erinthem0stknight]

“Uhm…maybe?”

@a-knight-in-gold

[derek-hutchins]

(Imagine the Dereks meet and strangle each other/j/silly)

[erinthem0stknight]

(Lol??? I think mod may or may not be on break! I’m not sure)

[derek-hutchins]

(OOOH!! Understandable! We all need a break sometimes lol/positive)

[derek-hutchins]

(OH SHITTINGS I FORGOT TO ,,, LOCK IN AGAIN.)

" Anyways, I don’t …. understand. I’m a— for lack of better words, a mentally unstable nerd who just— has infinite knowledge, and I just—- "

He paused, pinching the bridge of his nose.

" I don’t know why I’m here. And that….. —- that scares me. For some reason. Why am I not in my universe. "

Derek pulled his legs slightly closer to himself while sitting.

[erinthem0stknight]

Rowen paused

“…ah….shit..”

[derek-hutchins]

" I just… woke up in “my” apartment. And I was here. I mean. I knew something was wrong. But my — my mind.. isn’t working…? Somehow..? I knew of Erin, though. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“That’s….strange…I…haven’t heard of anything like that??”

[derek-hutchins]

" Me neither…. I— swear, when I fell asleep, I was in my room. My Avery was there. Everything was fine- "

He seemed slightly anxious now, tremors visibly in his body now.

[erinthem0stknight]

“…we’ll figure it out okay?” Rowen hesitated to place his hand on Derek’s shoulder opting to nervously pick at their nails instead

[derek-hutchins]

" If you say so… "

He looked around, almost frantically.

" ….. I’ve not felt this way in a while. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“I-…shit I’m sorry I- I don’t know what to do…”

[derek-hutchins]

" It’s fine.. It’s not your fault I’m here.. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“I know but…it’s still concerning right?”

[derek-hutchins]

" Yes, it.. is.. fuck. Why cant I remember anything?! "

Derek held his head.

[erinthem0stknight]

He sighs then looked over to Erin

“Maybe..it’s because of her?”

[derek-hutchins]

" ... What.. do ya mean..? "

[erinthem0stknight]

“I don’t…know..? You’re both connected to the king…I dunno it’s dumb.”

[derek-hutchins]

" Nah, that's not dumb... actually. Go on. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“…like since it’s two seperate kings, and you’re in our timeline…and that episode Erin just had….think of it like a signal on a radio. And how those can get interrupted .”

[derek-hutchins]

" So. You're probably onto something. You're pretty smart, kid. "

[erinthem0stknight]

They shrug

“I guess?”

[derek-hutchins]

" Anyways, yeah.. I mean. Maybe the king... taking over my body.. will do something..? I.. dunno. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“I mean…there’s really no way to tell for sure.” He shrugs “it might be our version of king fucking with you. Or very well may be the fabrics of the universe not really know what to do with your infinite knowledge within a timeline you’re not technically supposed to be in.”

[derek-hutchins]

" Mmm.. yeah, probably. Whats your King like. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“Cruel, unforgiving and…torturous. You’ve seen what he’s done to Erin.”

[derek-hutchins]

" I have.... mine... -- mine forced me to... be some sort of... servant? I guess?... I dont know... now my eye is replaced with these stupid tentacles that dont do shit, and I almost died saying that damn spell.. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“….i see, I’m not exactly immune to the godly forces either..”

[derek-hutchins]

" Hmm... I see. Anyways. If I wanted my King to have any chance of even slightly taking over my body, I'd, as I said.. have to sleep. Its gonna be uncomfortable to sleep in a chair if I want to do this and get some answers but eh.. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“Do you think it’s safe…?”

“Uhm…do whatever you feel is necessary.”

[derek-hutchins]

" Its not... necessarily safe.. obviously. But if we want answers.. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“Right…”

[derek-hutchins]

Derek sat back, breathing deeply as to try to sleep. It wasn't a comfortable spot to sleep, but he's been through worse....

A few moments later he was asleep.

.......Nothing was uh. Happening.....

[erinthem0stknight]

Rowen would wait. Patiently…

[derek-hutchins]

"Derek" woke up. His eye was black, his pupil was yellow, the tentacles in his eye weren't all annoying or whatever they were supposed to doing.. anyways, this wasn't Derek.. Oh shit.

"..... Well. I haven't been in this body for a while.. "

(IDK HOW TO BE THE KIY I GOTTA LOCK IN OKAY)

[erinthem0stknight]

“….maybe that’s for a reason…”

(LOCK IN CHAT)

[derek-hutchins]

" Aha. Sure. "

He smiled. He moved like a puppet, his limbs twitchy and limp.

" You want answers, I assume? "

[erinthem0stknight]

“Yeah. So get to it.”

[derek-hutchins]

" Well, Derek cannot remember anything because of, yes. The Child. Or 'Erin'. Something about her has worsened his memory. "

It paused. Its eye darted around.

[erinthem0stknight]

“What exactly? What about her did that?”

[derek-hutchins]

His pupil dilated, he tapped his fingers against his leg, it was slow, almost robotic in its motions….

" And WHY should I tell you?… "

He smiled.

[erinthem0stknight]

He rolled his eyes

“Because what if what’s happening now is just the beginning? Hm? What if it gets worse? What if you lose control of your vessel?”

[derek-hutchins]

" I could tell you. Or… “

Derek was in control now, gasping for air as he grabbed a trashcan and threw up , it was a mix of blood and.. yellow…? Whatever that could be… Derek’s eyes were visibly watering and unfocused. The King being in control obviously took a toll on him..

[erinthem0stknight]

Rowen rushed over “shit- a-are you okay?”

[derek-hutchins]

" I.. so.. fun fact, whenever The King controls me, I suffer.. horrible pain. Until— I throw up.. hah.. “

[erinthem0stknight]

“….i can tell…”

[a-universe-hopping-queen]

A portal, swirling orange, yellow, and black appeared, all of a sudden. Someone stepped out. The person DEFINITELY wasn't human; horns, halo, tail, wings... for a more detailed description go to her intro. The portal closed when she stepped out. She crossed her arms, glancing around the room.

"Well. This...is a bit of a detour," she spoke. "Erm."

She noticed that one of them looked as if they had just thrown up.

"You okay? What happened?"

She tilted her head as she asked.

[derek-hutchins]

" I.. uhh… I’m.. fine.. who— "

He paused, blinking, attempting to comprehend what the hell he just saw, but he’s seen worse.. eh..

" Who.. are you? "

[a-universe-hopping-queen]

"The name's Uzi," she answered simply. "And you're..."

Her eyes narrowed, tilting her head. She leaned sideways against the wall her portal had been before it closed.

"Derek Hutchins, aren't you? But you seem a little...out of place here."

[derek-hutchins]

" Yep. Derek., Hutchins— right here. Me.. yeah. Yep. "

Derek wiped his watery eyes, taking off his glasses.

" Yeah, yeah. I’m a bit.. out of place, as you said. Why.. are you here.. "

[a-universe-hopping-queen]

"I was passing through, on my way to somewhere else. Took a wrong turn somewhere along the way, and ended up here," she explained. "And it came to my attention that you are here."

She walked over to him, crossing her arms. Her wings twitched, extended, then folded, and her tail lowered.

"I can take you back to your universe, if you'd like. But, if you so need to, you can wrap things up with...them.." she gestured to the person(s). "I'll be waiting here, or outside. Wherever you'd like."

[derek-hutchins]

" Uhm… I suppose.. I’ll just—- write a note. Or so. "

Derek looked for a pen and paper, why would they be in a hospital room, Derek.. this idiot..

" Uh.. "

[a-universe-hopping-queen]

She snapped her fingers and a pen and paper materialized out of nowhere via a golden mist that soon disappeared. They fell into her hand, and she handed them to him.

"Heeere ya go."

[derek-hutchins]

" Ah… thank you.. "

Derek wrote his note, something about goodbyes and he’s glad he met Erin, and then set the pen and paper down.

" I believe i’m ready to leave now.. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“…already? We were talking! We- we didn’t even get to the bottom of this! Who the fuck is this!?”

[derek-hutchins]

" I dont know. I just wanna go back home…. "

Derek was extremely tired..

[erinthem0stknight]

“….just go. I’ll find a way to help Erin myself.”

[erinthem0stknight]

I’ve heard Erin hasn’t been alright.. may I ask what happened?.. if, of course, you feel comfortable with saying..

(I FEEL WEIRD ROLEPLAYING IN A BLOG AS DEREK WHERE THERES LIKE ALREADY A DEREK RUNS OFF AAAAA also I didnt look through some of the posts sobs.. im so cooked..)

She nods softly

“Mhm…”

(ITS OK TWIN DW ALSO SORRY I NEVER TAG REBLOGS IM JUST TOO LAZY)

[derek-hutchins]

" What pain is it, like a migraine, or… "

He tapped his chin in thought, his ginger hair getting in his face a bit as he leaned his head down again.

" I understand if its… an uncomfortable question, but what happened between you and the King. You do not have to answer, though. "

Derek was worried again, he knew everything obviously, so why didn’t he know what happened.. Weird.

[erinthem0stknight]

“I-…my memory is fuzzy….m-migraine…I think…”

She closed her eyes to think

“U-uhm…I-i remember saying part on the…thing and he only had…some access to my mind…a- and the night before th-this..he- managed to slip through in my mind…”

“A-and…”

Her heart monitor started to beep faster,

[derek-hutchins]

" Hey- hey- calm down, Erin. Breathe. I- I’m here. "

Derek waited for her to calm down.

" Take it slow, I understand it’s… horrifying, to say the least. But calm down. It’s alright. He’s not here. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“I-I…I tried to…to get out but I- everything was so quiet I couldn’t move- a-and I tried to fight back…when when I finally gained control…”

She froze for a moment

“Something happened, l-like a shattered mirror…fragments of my own memory but- n-not mine…you and papa- I saw visions- v-voices…”

[derek-hutchins]

" May… you explain more..? Unless you don’t feel like it, of course. "

Derek nodded as he listened.

[erinthem0stknight]

She shook her head vigorously “no- nonono.”

She gasped, her voice gave out as she started to cry “I don’t wanna think about it”

[derek-hutchins]

" O- Okay, breathe, breathe, calm down. "

Derek walked next to her and hugged her again, trying to keep Erin calm. He started to worry again.

" Its alright, dont think about it, he’s not here, its okay. "

[erinthem0stknight]

She sniffled hugging him for dear life her face buried between his neck and shoulder

Rowen speaks up “…I think…I have an idea of what happened?”

[derek-hutchins]

" Hm? Well- I— I don’t believe its appropriate to say while shes panicking.. "

Derek rubbed her back, attempting to soothe her.

(The urge for him to slip up and call her his daughter would make me explode but RAAAAUGGH OH MY HEART OWWW)

[erinthem0stknight]

“No, I’ll wait til later.”

She’s calming down a bit, still hugging him tight for safety.

(AWHEHHEHE OWOWOWLWOEOEOIEISIWIWIW)

[derek-hutchins]

" Good, because I dont think my daugh-… ahem. Erin can handle that… right.. now. "

Derek was going to pretend he never said that. What… ahaaaaah…

[erinthem0stknight]

Rowen stared for a moment

“She…uh..she’s not yours.”

[derek-hutchins]

" It was an accident. "

His voice was.. sharp. He breathed and then apologized for snapping.

" It— I didn’t mean that. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“Sorry- sorry I- I shouldn’t have…” the kid cowered back

Erin grumbled tugging on Derek’s shirt “dad? C-can you take the needle out?” She points to the IV

[derek-hutchins]

" I… fine. It’s gonna hurt for a moment, though.. "

Derek took the IV needle out, trying to be careful.

[erinthem0stknight]

She winced

“I don’t like needles…”

“I wanna go home…home..”

She closed her eyes slowly dozing off

[derek-hutchins]

Derek just watched. He backed away and stared. Why did he call her his daughter?! This wasn’t even his—…

" I need to go outside for a moment. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“Right…just don’t get caught.”

[derek-hutchins]

Derek walked outside, being wary of being caught. He just stared at the grass. He held his glasses in thought.

" I cant believe I— SHIT. I’m— I’m such an idiot! "

[erinthem0stknight]

Rowen simply waited what else could he do?

(NOOOO HES NOT AN IDIOT. Give him his own mini erin)

[derek-hutchins]

After like, 10 minutes, Derek walked back in.

" Alright. Okay, you said had an idea of what happened..? "

(GENUINELY 💔 hes too attached I FEEL BAD FOR HIM AAAUGH)

(IT GLITCHED FOR ME I THOUGHT IT DELETED MY OTHER OOC COMMENT FUHH)

[erinthem0stknight]

“Yeah…she texted me I think during it. It was a lunch of…I don’t know I can’t really describe it.”

They pulled out their phone opening the texts between him and Erin

E”oh my god”

R”?? What happened?”

E”fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck”

E”I’m gonna die”

R”what? I promise you’re not gonna die just talk to me please?”

E”he’s gonna kill mee the voices are too loud I don’t know here I am my head hurts I seeee I see somethinbgb”

R”Erin please what’s happening??”

E”Imscared im scared scared i deem him its looking at me”

E” my parent are gona die I see them he killed them he killed them with me I hurt them nonononononn”

[derek-hutchins]

" … Oh. Eugh.. fuck. So. The — The King.. as you probably know, can take over your mind.. and all… It— Its in mine, actually. The uh, tentacles, and my eye color being yellow are from.. of course, him.. sometimes it can just. Take me over. And I.. cant fight it. Usually i’m asleep when he does, though. "

Derek winced as the yellow tentacles in his eye flared out. He covered his eye quickly.

[erinthem0stknight]

“Yeah…I..figured but also think about it. If you wanted your vessel and you’re an ancient god or something and your chosen vessel was a stubborn as Erin what would you do?”

[derek-hutchins]

" I.. I’d probably keep trying to possess said vessel. Honestly, thats what he’s trying to do with me. I’m, albeit, stubborn as hell, so he, as I said, can sometimes take control. And, from my, aha, knowledge, I don’t believe theres.. a way to stop him. Only way would be the binding ritual, but thats not what we want.. "

Derek sat in thought, before changing the topic a bit.

" What’s your guys’ Derek like. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“I was thinking more of…breaking their will and hope and uh…attachment to reality.”

Rowen sighed “he’s a lot like you.”

[derek-hutchins]

" Huh. Really? How so..? "

Derek tapped his leg on the floor, a thing he tended to do whilst understimulated.

[erinthem0stknight]

“I dunno how to really…describe. You’re just…the same.”

[derek-hutchins]

" I see.. ….. Could I meet him, maybe? "

[erinthem0stknight]

“Uhm…maybe?”

@a-knight-in-gold

[derek-hutchins]

(Imagine the Dereks meet and strangle each other/j/silly)

[erinthem0stknight]

(Lol??? I think mod may or may not be on break! I’m not sure)

[derek-hutchins]

(OOOH!! Understandable! We all need a break sometimes lol/positive)

[derek-hutchins]

(OH SHITTINGS I FORGOT TO ,,, LOCK IN AGAIN.)

" Anyways, I don’t …. understand. I’m a— for lack of better words, a mentally unstable nerd who just— has infinite knowledge, and I just—- "

He paused, pinching the bridge of his nose.

" I don’t know why I’m here. And that….. —- that scares me. For some reason. Why am I not in my universe. "

Derek pulled his legs slightly closer to himself while sitting.

[erinthem0stknight]

Rowen paused

“…ah….shit..”

[derek-hutchins]

" I just… woke up in “my” apartment. And I was here. I mean. I knew something was wrong. But my — my mind.. isn’t working…? Somehow..? I knew of Erin, though. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“That’s….strange…I…haven’t heard of anything like that??”

[derek-hutchins]

" Me neither…. I— swear, when I fell asleep, I was in my room. My Avery was there. Everything was fine- "

He seemed slightly anxious now, tremors visibly in his body now.

[erinthem0stknight]

“…we’ll figure it out okay?” Rowen hesitated to place his hand on Derek’s shoulder opting to nervously pick at their nails instead

[derek-hutchins]

" If you say so… "

He looked around, almost frantically.

" ….. I’ve not felt this way in a while. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“I-…shit I’m sorry I- I don’t know what to do…”

[derek-hutchins]

" It’s fine.. It’s not your fault I’m here.. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“I know but…it’s still concerning right?”

[derek-hutchins]

" Yes, it.. is.. fuck. Why cant I remember anything?! "

Derek held his head.

[erinthem0stknight]

He sighs then looked over to Erin

“Maybe..it’s because of her?”

[derek-hutchins]

" ... What.. do ya mean..? "

[erinthem0stknight]

“I don’t…know..? You’re both connected to the king…I dunno it’s dumb.”

[derek-hutchins]

" Nah, that's not dumb... actually. Go on. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“…like since it’s two seperate kings, and you’re in our timeline…and that episode Erin just had….think of it like a signal on a radio. And how those can get interrupted .”

[derek-hutchins]

" So. You're probably onto something. You're pretty smart, kid. "

[erinthem0stknight]

They shrug

“I guess?”

[derek-hutchins]

" Anyways, yeah.. I mean. Maybe the king... taking over my body.. will do something..? I.. dunno. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“I mean…there’s really no way to tell for sure.” He shrugs “it might be our version of king fucking with you. Or very well may be the fabrics of the universe not really know what to do with your infinite knowledge within a timeline you’re not technically supposed to be in.”

[derek-hutchins]

" Mmm.. yeah, probably. Whats your King like. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“Cruel, unforgiving and…torturous. You’ve seen what he’s done to Erin.”

[derek-hutchins]

" I have.... mine... -- mine forced me to... be some sort of... servant? I guess?... I dont know... now my eye is replaced with these stupid tentacles that dont do shit, and I almost died saying that damn spell.. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“….i see, I’m not exactly immune to the godly forces either..”

[derek-hutchins]

" Hmm... I see. Anyways. If I wanted my King to have any chance of even slightly taking over my body, I'd, as I said.. have to sleep. Its gonna be uncomfortable to sleep in a chair if I want to do this and get some answers but eh.. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“Do you think it’s safe…?”

“Uhm…do whatever you feel is necessary.”

[derek-hutchins]

" Its not... necessarily safe.. obviously. But if we want answers.. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“Right…”

[derek-hutchins]

Derek sat back, breathing deeply as to try to sleep. It wasn't a comfortable spot to sleep, but he's been through worse....

A few moments later he was asleep.

.......Nothing was uh. Happening.....

[erinthem0stknight]

Rowen would wait. Patiently…

[derek-hutchins]

"Derek" woke up. His eye was black, his pupil was yellow, the tentacles in his eye weren't all annoying or whatever they were supposed to doing.. anyways, this wasn't Derek.. Oh shit.

"..... Well. I haven't been in this body for a while.. "

(IDK HOW TO BE THE KIY I GOTTA LOCK IN OKAY)

[erinthem0stknight]

“….maybe that’s for a reason…”

(LOCK IN CHAT)

[derek-hutchins]

" Aha. Sure. "

He smiled. He moved like a puppet, his limbs twitchy and limp.

" You want answers, I assume? "

[erinthem0stknight]

“Yeah. So get to it.”

[derek-hutchins]

" Well, Derek cannot remember anything because of, yes. The Child. Or 'Erin'. Something about her has worsened his memory. "

It paused. Its eye darted around.

[erinthem0stknight]

“What exactly? What about her did that?”

[derek-hutchins]

His pupil dilated, he tapped his fingers against his leg, it was slow, almost robotic in its motions….

" And WHY should I tell you?… "

He smiled.

[erinthem0stknight]

He rolled his eyes

“Because what if what’s happening now is just the beginning? Hm? What if it gets worse? What if you lose control of your vessel?”

[derek-hutchins]

" I could tell you. Or… “

Derek was in control now, gasping for air as he grabbed a trashcan and threw up , it was a mix of blood and.. yellow…? Whatever that could be… Derek’s eyes were visibly watering and unfocused. The King being in control obviously took a toll on him..

[erinthem0stknight]

Rowen rushed over “shit- a-are you okay?”

[derek-hutchins]

" I.. so.. fun fact, whenever The King controls me, I suffer.. horrible pain. Until— I throw up.. hah.. “

[erinthem0stknight]

“….i can tell…”

[a-universe-hopping-queen]

A portal, swirling orange, yellow, and black appeared, all of a sudden. Someone stepped out. The person DEFINITELY wasn't human; horns, halo, tail, wings... for a more detailed description go to her intro. The portal closed when she stepped out. She crossed her arms, glancing around the room.

"Well. This...is a bit of a detour," she spoke. "Erm."

She noticed that one of them looked as if they had just thrown up.

"You okay? What happened?"

She tilted her head as she asked.

[derek-hutchins]

" I.. uhh… I’m.. fine.. who— "

He paused, blinking, attempting to comprehend what the hell he just saw, but he’s seen worse.. eh..

" Who.. are you? "

[a-universe-hopping-queen]

"The name's Uzi," she answered simply. "And you're..."

Her eyes narrowed, tilting her head. She leaned sideways against the wall her portal had been before it closed.

"Derek Hutchins, aren't you? But you seem a little...out of place here."

[derek-hutchins]

" Yep. Derek., Hutchins— right here. Me.. yeah. Yep. "

Derek wiped his watery eyes, taking off his glasses.

" Yeah, yeah. I’m a bit.. out of place, as you said. Why.. are you here.. "

[a-universe-hopping-queen]

"I was passing through, on my way to somewhere else. Took a wrong turn somewhere along the way, and ended up here," she explained. "And it came to my attention that you are here."

She walked over to him, crossing her arms. Her wings twitched, extended, then folded, and her tail lowered.

"I can take you back to your universe, if you'd like. But, if you so need to, you can wrap things up with...them.." she gestured to the person(s). "I'll be waiting here, or outside. Wherever you'd like."

[derek-hutchins]

" Uhm… I suppose.. I’ll just—- write a note. Or so. "

Derek looked for a pen and paper, why would they be in a hospital room, Derek.. this idiot..

" Uh.. "

[a-universe-hopping-queen]

She snapped her fingers and a pen and paper materialized out of nowhere via a golden mist that soon disappeared. They fell into her hand, and she handed them to him.

"Heeere ya go."

[derek-hutchins]

" Ah… thank you.. "

Derek wrote his note, something about goodbyes and he’s glad he met Erin, and then set the pen and paper down.

" I believe i’m ready to leave now.. "

[erinthem0stknight]

“…already? We were talking! We- we didn’t even get to the bottom of this! Who the fuck is this!?”

[derek-hutchins]

Kitty

@erinthem0stknight

Awwww, kitty!! Thank you..

[erinthem0stknight]

“Mhm! Oh- I’m..I’m home now..”

[sliming-it]

“Avery? I’m home now..”

@erinthem0stknight

he practically snatches her into a hug

…I’m sorry…

[erinthem0stknight]

“It’s okay. You’re better now, I missed you..”

[sliming-it]

I missed you too. God I’m glad you’re okay.

[erinthem0stknight]

“I’m…mostly okay. Still in recovery and they’re checking if I have any brain damage. And plus my leg still hurts from being dislocated. Minus the king stuff.”

“But…how are you?”

[sliming-it]

Better. My Derek…. Kinda got a flash of infinite knowledge, so he’s on some migraine medication some of the anons send me… somehow. But I’m fine.

[erinthem0stknight]

“That’s good- and bad…but at least you’re doing somewhat better! And good on those anons for sending medicine. Most of mine that I get give me weapons or try and tell me to feet going…”

“We both know how that went.”

“But. Yeah, happy- late 4th of July? I heard you didn’t like the fireworks. Honestly I don’t either. They’re too loud.”

[sliming-it]

Why are they giving you weapons and not me? Oh… yeah. Fireworks.

[erinthem0stknight]

“…I dunno. I got a gun in specific…”

“I like the way they look, but honestly I can barely handle thunder…even at fourteen.”

[sliming-it]

I’m going to need that. For my collection. And at my grown age, I can’t handle fireworks so…

[erinthem0stknight]

“Here- why…do you have a collection?”

She hands him the sawed shotgun she’d received a while ago.

“That’s okay, my papa doesn’t like fireworks either..”

[sliming-it]

Thanks kiddo. And I just like guns. A lot.

[erinthem0stknight]

“That’s fair.”

She sighs “I have a massive headache.,,”

[sliming-it]

Should probably go lay down kid.

[erinthem0stknight]

“I- it’s just been hanging around for a few days. It’s just the king. After what happens I kind of…space out for a minute.”

“Just me getting lost in my own head, it’s hard to stop thinking about what he showed me.”

[sliming-it]

…sounds like you need a break. And I will fistfight the king I swear…

[erinthem0stknight]

“You’d do that for me..?”

[sliming-it]

Of course. Besides, we have beef too, so I’ll take one for all of us.

[erinthem0stknight]

She hugs him tight “I’m so tired..”

[sliming-it]

He hugs back

I promise you, I will do my best to make things right.

[erinthem0stknight]

“I know- I- I’m so scared and tired I-“

[sliming-it]

Don’t. Not now. Just take a break.

[erinthem0stknight]

Erin sighed “sorry…”

She still hugged him, not letting go

[sliming-it]

Don’t apologize kid. You’ve been through hell.

[erinthem0stknight]

“But…you have too..”

[sliming-it]

…I have haven’t I.

[erinthem0stknight]

She nods “I wanna help you too”

[sliming-it]

Problem is, I don’t even know how to help myself.

[erinthem0stknight]

“….thats okay.”

[sliming-it]

…we’ll find a way.

[erinthem0stknight]

“Promise?”

[sliming-it]

Promise. Now go get rest.

[erinthem0stknight]

“Okayy..”

[sliming-it]

“Avery? I’m home now..”

@erinthem0stknight

he practically snatches her into a hug

…I’m sorry…

[erinthem0stknight]

“It’s okay. You’re better now, I missed you..”

[erinthem0stknight]

“You’d do that for me..?”

[sliming-it]

Of course. Besides, we have beef too, so I’ll take one for all of us.

[erinthem0stknight]

She hugs him tight “I’m so tired..”

[sliming-it]

He hugs back

I promise you, I will do my best to make things right.

[erinthem0stknight]

“I know- I- I’m so scared and tired I-“

[sliming-it]

Don’t. Not now. Just take a break.

[erinthem0stknight]

Erin sighed “sorry…”

She still hugged him, not letting go

[sliming-it]

Don’t apologize kid. You’ve been through hell.

[erinthem0stknight]

“But…you have too..”

[sliming-it]

…I have haven’t I.

[erinthem0stknight]

She nods “I wanna help you too”

[sliming-it]

“Avery? I’m home now..”

@erinthem0stknight

he practically snatches her into a hug

…I’m sorry…

[erinthem0stknight]

“It’s okay. You’re better now, I missed you..”

[sliming-it]

I missed you too. God I’m glad you’re okay.

[erinthem0stknight]

“I’m…mostly okay. Still in recovery and they’re checking if I have any brain damage. And plus my leg still hurts from being dislocated. Minus the king stuff.”

“But…how are you?”

[sliming-it]

Better. My Derek…. Kinda got a flash of infinite knowledge, so he’s on some migraine medication some of the anons send me… somehow. But I’m fine.

[erinthem0stknight]

“That’s good- and bad…but at least you’re doing somewhat better! And good on those anons for sending medicine. Most of mine that I get give me weapons or try and tell me to feet going…”

“We both know how that went.”

“But. Yeah, happy- late 4th of July? I heard you didn’t like the fireworks. Honestly I don’t either. They’re too loud.”

[sliming-it]

Why are they giving you weapons and not me? Oh… yeah. Fireworks.

[erinthem0stknight]

“…I dunno. I got a gun in specific…”

“I like the way they look, but honestly I can barely handle thunder…even at fourteen.”

[sliming-it]

I’m going to need that. For my collection. And at my grown age, I can’t handle fireworks so…

[erinthem0stknight]

“Here- why…do you have a collection?”

She hands him the sawed shotgun she’d received a while ago.

“That’s okay, my papa doesn’t like fireworks either..”

[sliming-it]

Thanks kiddo. And I just like guns. A lot.

[erinthem0stknight]

“That’s fair.”

She sighs “I have a massive headache.,,”

[sliming-it]

Should probably go lay down kid.

[erinthem0stknight]

“I- it’s just been hanging around for a few days. It’s just the king. After what happens I kind of…space out for a minute.”

“Just me getting lost in my own head, it’s hard to stop thinking about what he showed me.”

[sliming-it]

…sounds like you need a break. And I will fistfight the king I swear…

[erinthem0stknight]
