Hey Dust

Have a shovel

And another shovel

And one more for good measure

Oh yeah also have a cupcake

Dust Sans: sweet, now I have a trifecta of tools to till my own treasure trove.

Dust Sans: mmm. trovel.

*Passive falls into hysterics.

Dust Sans: heh, i’m hilarious.

*Dust eats his cupcake with much joy.

Nightmare: Making The Nightling Laugh Doesn’t Equate Hilarity, Dust.

Dust Sans: nightling? what?

Nightmare: Puns Just Break Him, For Some Reason.

Killer Sans: Is it the Sans in him?

Killer Sans: Was he EVER a Sans?

Nightmare: He Is A Tree. Or Some Sort Of Plant, Really.

Dust Sans: huh

*Chara snaps their fingers.

Chara: Trans.

*Passive dies a second time, now from laughter.

Killer Sans: Ey, good one Char’s!

*Killer raises his hand and Chara high-fives it as best as they could.

Nightmare: You Know, Dream WAS Raised As A Girl, And Now Isn’t, Correct?

Passive(very excitedly): HE’S THE TRANS!!! Mweh heh hehehe!

*Chara nods.

Chara: Truly.

Killer Sans: I’ve gotta tell this joke to Dream next time we meet.

Nightmare: If You So Wish, I Suppose.

Dust Sans: …(i understand nothing. but i have a cupcake, and that’s nice.)

[marenights]

While it's true that you shouldn't let your anger control you, you shouldn't bottle it either

To prevent that and to help you redirect it (so that you don't throw anyone again) I would recommend you evacuate it through an activity, it can be writing what you feel, or simply scribbling anything on a piece of paper, get a squishy toy to press, a ball to throw, ... anything that can get you to let your feelings out without hurting anyone (or yourself)

- therapist anon

Nightmare: Well That…

*Nightmare pulls a “-_-“ face.

Nightmare: …Is Actually Quite Good Advice. Hm.

Killer Sans: Maybe you should get a diary.

Nightmare: I Already HAVE A Diary.

Nightmare: I Have Acquired And Written In Many Dairies, Actually, Over The Years.

Passive: He had hundreds of diaries and journals, he has a whole ROOM for them…

Dust Sans: well, at least one of the BAJILLION rooms in here are being used.

Dust Sans: why are there so many rooms?

Chara: Oh, we went over this with the therapist, here.

Chara: Basically—Mare has a whole LOT of issues.

Dust Sans: obviously??? that tells me nothing???

Nightmare: I Simply Like Having Rooms.

Passive: C’mon Mare, we know it’s more than that—

Nightmare: I LOVE MY ROOMS AND I HAVE NO ISSUES AT ALL.

*Nightmare wore a very strained smile.

Killer Sans: Ooo, what if you get a stress ball that looks like Dream?

Nightmare: Hmm, Perhaps.

*Dust snickers.

Dust Sans: then maybe he can get a matching one of you, with that little scarf he gave ya.

Nightmare: Stop Being So Throwable If You Don’t Wish To Be Thrown.

[marenights]

Hi! I saw the message that the ask box was empty, so I immediately went and did this!

Inspired by:

Any thoughts(and prayers)?

(And also, dear askers, don’t let the ask box get empty again unless you want more of these monstrosities to come to life.)

I’m So Sorry

DUDE DUDE I can’t fucking show them(the MareNights cast) that they might actually DIE XD bwahahaha holy shit IS THAT FROM THE SLIMESICLE GAY SCHOOL VIDEO??? I’ve only seen the first part with slime…I didn’t Ranboo was also there…maybe it’s just something like it…omg bench trio…my dsmp phase I’m remembering it oh no no no WHY IS HE CALLED RANBOOEY NO NO I DONT ENAT TO KNOW ANYTHIBG I DONT WNAT CONTEXT!!!

Anyways.

[the ask box is empty…]

[marenights]

TAke my [20% OFF] pipis BLAST

Chara: Oh! There’s the spam—

*A stream of pipises burst out from the monitor, hitting everyone and filling up the room to ankle-height.

*Everyone screamed. Except Chara, who was too stunned to utter a sound.

*Nightmare and Dust lost 20 HP total. Killer lost none, as his defense is too high. The other two are ghosts, and can’t take physical damage.

Chara: —…ton. Huh.

Nightmare: I AM GOING TO KILL—!

*Nightmare takes a deep breath in.

Nightmare: No, No I Am Going To TORTURE This Asker I SWEAR.

Passive: No, you SHOULD kill them!

Nightmare: No, YOU Should Stop Being So Bloodthirsty, You Little Menace.

Passive: Kill kill blood death kill kill kill kill

Nightmare: WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS?!?

*Chara points at a pipis.

Chara: Are these things edible?

Killer Sans: I’ll check!

Nightmare: Killer, DON’T. Just—Just Do. NOT.

Dust Sans: what is wrong with these people.

Killer Sans: Everything, probably.

Dust Sans: yeah…

[marenights]

You do have problems, Mare, anger issues are one of those, you shouldn't take out your anger on your teammates

- therapist anon

( ooc: still sick af but it's getting better :') )

(ooc: glad you’re getting better!)

Nightmare: Well—

Nightmare: …

Killer Sans: Can’t argue with that?

*The ghosts are giggling.

Dust Sans: you should listen to them, so i get thrown less.

Nightmare: I Have Only Thrown You ONCE, You Fool.

Nightmare: …But I SUPPOSE I Should Better Control My Anger.

Nightmare: I Am The Guardian Of Negativity, After All.

Nightmare: I Shan’t Let It Control Me.

Passive: Technically, I’M the guardian, YOUR just negativity.

Nightmare: I Would Throw You If I Could.

Killer Sans: Wow! You sure do love to throw people!

Nightmare: I Do Not—

Dust Sans: at least i’m not the one getting thrown—

Nightmare: DON’T INTERRUPT ME!

*Nightmare goes to throw Dust again, before stopping halfway, dangling Dust in the air by one of his tentacles.

Nightmare: I. Um. Hm.

Dust Sans: i shouldn’t have said anything.

Dust Sans: not like THIS is my fault, anyways.

[marenights]

(Kind of ooc question)

I had kind of a technical question

Why have the ghosts started disappearing with time??

I’m too lazy to get the pictures right now but, the ghosts started off fully colored, then became kinda transparent, then became glowing of one color and then they became just outline. (I know it’s just a style change, but it’s really funny to me for some reason)

uh. I got lazy xD

in-universe…they’re just putting less energy into being seen. Because becoming more tangible can take a lot of energy, so they’re conserving it so they can appear visible to others for longer.

I just made all that up right now lol. I’ll continue to do that.

So it’s all more of a subconscious thing. When a ghost first appears, they’re fully visible and colored, but if they don’t hold onto their appearance, with their outline being the only thing remaining.

They can also look like blobs(?) like Napstablook, but that’s more when they lose their sense of self(which won’t happen here, but it’s just what does happen when ghosts forgot who they were in life). Fun fact that I actually did think about before typing this xD

[marenights]

Oh wow, it’s so chaotic now that there are so many people! Also Mare what the fuck? SPAM sucks ass Do you just like the flavor of desperation embedded in it or what? Ur so gross this is why I don’t like you. Do you also eat banana peel? Of course you do you homo

Nightmare: How DARE Yo—?!

Nightmare: where is horror.

Passive: I THINK he teleported? To his room, maybe?

*Nightmare pulls a Frisk face.

Nightmare: How Did I Not—Whatever, It’s Fine.

Dust Sans: so, can we—?

Nightmare: No.

Killer Sans: Dang.

Nightmare: And Spam Tastes Quite Nice When Prepared Properly.

Nightmare: Do You Think I Eat It Straight Out Of The Can?

Passive: (don’t say yes guys, don’t say yes.)

*Nightmare pulls a Frisk face, again.

Nightmare: …

Nightmare: And If It DID Have Depression Embedded In It, Of COURSE I Would Like It.

Nightmare: And I Don’t Eat Banana Peels.

Killer Sans: Have you?

Nightmare: Yes, And The Experience Was Subpar.

Dust Sans: but, why would you try that?

Nightmare: Listen, I’m Over 500 Years Old, I Get Bored.

Killer Sans: Did you eat JUST the peel, or the whole banana, peel and all?

Nightmare: Both. And I Did Not Like Both.

Killer Sans: Which one was—?

Nightmare: JUST The Peel, Now Let’s Move On Already.

[marenights]

Do you think it’s possible for this thing to get spam?

-Z

Nightmare: I Hope Not.

Nightmare: Hopefully There’s A Filtering System On This Thing.

Dust Sans: i don’t think there is, based on all the weird stuff people have been sending.

*Dust shudders.

Horror Sans: yeah, there’s some weird shit sent here sometimes.

Passive: But that’s not SPAM.

Passive: You know what SPAM is, right?

Chara: Lunch meat?

Passive: …wha—?

Chara: You kept capitalizing “SPAM,” and that’s what the food, “Spam” looks like on the can.

Nightmare: Now I Want Some Spam Myself…

Dust Sans: is it good?

Nightmare: Why The Fuck Would I Say I Want Some If I Didn’t Like Them?

Dust Sans: uh—

*Dust is sweating bullets as Nightmare leers over him.

Killer Sans: (Didn’t expect him to swear.)

Horror Sans: (yeah.)

Nightmare: What Is Wrong With You? Are You Stupid, Dust?

Dust Sans: probably yeah.

Passive: Mare, don’t bully him!

Killer Sans: Mare, keep bullying him!

Passive: I’LL KILL YOU, YOU DAMNED CONTRARIAN.

*Passive has his scary face on. Killer does not react to it whatsoever.

*Chara is sweating nervously.

Chara: Please do not do that, my friend.

Passive: Finneeee…

Horror Sans: (ugh, ‘s so loud…)

Horror Sans: (it was a lot less chaotic when i was locked here by myself.)

Horror Sans: …

*Horror Sans disappears from the room, to ail his aching headache.

[marenights]

NIGHTMARE I WANT YOU DEAD. I WANT TO SQUEEZE THE LIFE OUT OF YOU. I WNAT. EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM TO JUMP YOU.

oh and welcome back Chara and Night! How are you two? And hi to the MTT (and the creator ;) ) too! Good luck with the asks ^-^

*sends over 5 four leaf clover charms. Two are ghost charms. There are NONE for Mare because I hate him

(ooc: hello to you too this is making me laugh my ass off xD)

Nightmare: H-How DARE You Proclaim Such A Thing To ME?!

Passive: His majesty is angry at being told that he is hated.

Passive: Even though that’s literally his whole thing.

Dust Sans: *snirk!*

Nightmare: Don’t Get Smart With Me, Now.

Passive: You don’t scare me—!

*Nightmare snaps his fingers, and Passive disappears.

MTT: !!!

Chara: And I think that is why this Asker hates you.

Chara: Because if I remember correctly, they are quite fond of Night.

*Nightmare pouts.

Nightmare: Well, They Should Be Worshipping Me, Not Cursing My Name.

Chara: Then do something WORTHY of worshipping, you WORM!

Nightmare: DON’T CALL ME THAT!

Horror Sans: …you know. i think this asker actually told me to call ya that.

Killer Sans: Call ‘Mare a worm?

Horror Sans: yep.

Dust Sans: pfft.

*Nightmare sputters angrily.

Nightmare: FINE, Fine, I Care Not For This Single Asker’s Opinions!

Chara: Can you at least bring Night back so he can have his charm?

*Dust mumbles,

Dust Sans: (maybe i can clip mine onto my zipper…)

Nightmare: Ugh, Alright. Only So You’ll SHUT IT.

*Nightmare snaps again, and Passive reappears.

*Passive is sobbing somewhat patheticly.

Passive: i hate not existing… *sob*

[marenights]

Sooo... are Dust and Horror gonna get any explanation or are we still pretending there are no ghosts in this room-?

Nightmare: Hmm.

Nightmare: No.

Killer Sans: It’s for comedic effect.

Dust Sans: i hate you both with a burning passion.

Horror Sans: well uh, an explanation WOULD be nice, ya know.

Nightmare: Ha! Fine, I Shall Give A Marcel Of An Explanation:

Nighmare: This Child Is A Chara, Obviously,

Chara: Greetings.

*Chara said with a smile and a wave.

Nightmare: They Were Brought Along By Killer, Here.

Killer Sans: They’re haunting me.

Chara: I’m haunting him.

*They both have the same, creepy smile on their faces.

Nightmare: And This One Is…

Passive: Er, I’m basically his Chara?

Nightmare: Well. Yes.

Dust Sans: i have no idea what you mean by that.

Passive: …I narrate for him..?

*Dust has a blank expression on his face, with a hint of annoyance shinning through.

Dust Sans: what’s your name?

Passive: Erm. Night.

Dust Sans: and the previous askers have been our boss, nightmare, “mare,” right?

Passive: uh.

Nightmare: And This Is Why I Wanted To Say Nothing, You Sanses Are Too Smart.

Dust Sans: i would have to be a complete and utter moron to not connect these dots, man.

*Nightmare leers over Dust, ever so slightly.

Nightmare: And Your Conclusion Is..?

*Dust sweats slightly.

Dust Sans: well, THIS guy looks a lot more like dream than YOU do.

Horror Sans: so is he like, the “actual” nightmare, then?

Dust Sans: IS he?

Nightmare: Yes But I’m Better.

*Dust and Horror seemed stunned at Nightmare’s blunt honesty.

*Meanwhile, the ghosts are cackling.

Passive: I disagree—

Nightmare: Shut It, No You Do Not.

Chara: I disagree =)

Killer Sans: Anyways, I’m thinking that if I brought Chara along, and our boss brought Nighty here along—

Passive: Don’t call me that.

Killer Sans: —then did DUST bring Geide along?

Dust Sans: how—

*Dust sputters.

Dust Sans: of COURSE NOT!

Dust Sans: what kind of reasoning—

Killer Sans: You both have scarves :)

Dust Sans: ?!?!?

Horror Sans: i mean, yeah, genos typically have scarves i guess?

Nightmare: Well, It’s…A Reasonable Line Of Reasoning, I Suppose.

Dust Sans: well i think it’s stupid, let’s move on already, jeez.

[marenights]

Hello ! It has been a while so I'm checking, how are you doing, Mare ?

And the others of course, everyone is important here ! How are you all doing ?

- therapist anon

( ooc: so sorry for the lack of asks I have been feeling down for the past months 🙏🏻 I might need to re-read all the answers to my previous asks to remember what happened- hope you are doing good too ! )

(ooc: it’s all good, glad you’re back! Hope you’re feeling better :))

Nightmare: Oh, So You’ve Returned.

Dust Sans: you have a therapist?

*Dust nearly snickers.

Nightmare: No, They Just Claim That They Are One And Want Me To Talk About My Problems.

*Nightmare glares at the screen.

Nightmare: Problems That I DO NOT HAVE.

Dust Sans: i don’t believe you.

Killer Sans: Anyways, I’M doing great!

*Horror shrugs, crossing his arms.

Horror Sans: i’m not locked in here alone anymore, so i guess i’m fine. ish.

Dust Sans: bad. i don’t want to be here—why are we even DOING this shit anyways?!

Dust Sans: why are we answering these asker guys’ questions??? what’s the POINT of this?!

Chara: We—

Dust+Horror: !!!

Chara: —think that he has a bet with someone.

*They looked rather smug as they said this.

Nightmare: And Who Is “We,” Child?

Passive: Us is we, hi therapist anon!

*Passive waves cheerfully at the screen.

Passive: Oh and Tea, too.

Killer Sans: And how are you two doing?

Dust Sans: so are we just skipping over—

*Dust gets skipped over.

Chara: Pretty good, had some ghost chocolate earlier, afterlife’s pretty great.

Passive: I’m—

*Nightmare glares at Passive, and the latter clammers up.

Passive: …fine. That’s all.

Nightmare: And There You Have Your Answers, Dear Asker.

Dust Sans: (i wish I could get any answers, but no, i NEVER get any answers…)

*Dust grumpily grumbles about his life.

[marenights]

(ooc)

Oh, and since I’ll be answering the asks with text only(for now, I’ll come back to the text boxes eventually), the in-universe reason for this is because something in the machine broke. So now you can’t see their expressions(event though I’ll describe some of them), unfortunately. Anyways, ask away!

[marenights]

do u guys like my pet? Jared.

*Dust appears disgusted.

Dust Sans: fuck no.

Dust Sans: hell no.

Dust Sans: eugh.

Nightmare: What A Nice Smile It Has!

Killer Sans: He looks more like a Steven to me.

Horror Sans: dunno, i think jared fits pretty well.

Dust Sans: i think it should be killed with fire.

Nightmare Sans: Dust, Dear, Why Are You Having Such A Severe Reaction To Such A Lovely Creature?

*Nightmare asked with a sly smile.

Dust Sans: BECAUSE IT’S—

Dust Sans: whatever, just, just get it outta my sight, please.

Horror Sans: yeah, jared’s kinda ugly.

Dust Sans: (that’s the kindest way to describe it…)

[marenights]

Lord Mare, did you make a wish to make The King in Yellow popular? Because it just did. However it's though a minecraft video so the fans are probably mostly kids lmao

Hope the people here also find it funny and will kindly remind Mare to go to his kindergarden book club for a fan meet whenever he starts being annoying<3

((Also yes, my first thought when I saw how much content there's being made around it was "The Marenights person MUST know, they'll either love it or hate it))

≪*THE REST HAS BEEN CUT DUE TO ITS EXTENSIVE LENGTH.≫

[marenights]

Mare, did you know that there’s a King in Yellow Minecraft ARG? If you didn’t, then, I thought that you’d like to know.
