(to prevent me from getting wrist cramps, outerink will be called galaxy and error404 will just be 404, also friends fluff)
(kind of requested by @artsyshitshow
galaxy had picked up one new hobby recently, video gaming. wow, so original author chan, thats your reaction right? well think again! even though he was a gamer he couldnt ever reach the flow state, and always rage quitted. that is until his game started to break and... help him? he found it odd and paranormal at first, but brushed it off as beginners luck. he really only played rpgs and fighting games, the glitch on the fighting games would be giving him an ultimate or full health rarely dropping the opponents health or stunning them. the rpg glitches where extra rare items, an extra turn or giving the enemies random status effects. of course it only happened after a massive fight, and an energy drop somewhere in the multiverse which fucked over everything and everyone; messing up the stats and mentalities of normal monsters and humans. that catches us up, so on we go!
galaxy walked back to his room where he kept the gaming stuff, pulled out his xbox360, grabbed king of fighters four, and sat down on his spinny chair controller in hand as he hooked up his xbox and turned on his pc.
"its time to break a world record." galaxy said with a smirk as he booted up the xbox, hearing the usual purr of the system along with almost a grinding and slight sparking "OH SHIT!" he jumped off his chair and leapt back against the wall as the pc practically exploded leaving a cloud of smoke in its wake, and someone... shivering and coughing along with the faint scent of ammonitic fluid? this intrigued galaxy, seeing as how he got up and walked over to the desk.
he waved off some of the smoke seeing a white boned skeleton shivering, wearing a white cloak with blue markings on it and black shorts and shirt matched with blue slippers. it slowly sat up revealing its set of ultramarine teethe and white and blue ringed eye lights with black streaming down in lines "after all this time im free." it said as it looked around eyes landing on galaxy who seemed shiver under his sharp gaze "it was you."
"m-me?!" galaxy asked in shock and fear as the other stood up and walked over slowly. "what did i do?!" galaxy asked slowly backing further against the wall to no avail, face painted galaxy from the magic rushing through his bones and fear.
the other placed a hand on galaxies shoulder "you freed me from my prison in those games codes." the other said as he stared galaxy dead in the eye sockets "thats what you did."
"r-right, do you want something to eat or drink?" galaxy asked still in fear having the other huf. "are you ok... i never caught your name." galaxy laughed in slight fear and tried to edge away but was held in place by the other.
"full name is error404, but its easier to just call me 404," 404 said "and you ok if i take a shower? im covered in whatever this shit is, and it would be nice to not be." 404 backed away from galaxy and flung some strings over to the xbox360 tightening it until it shattered "good, my powers still work."
"the shower is on the left end of the hallway, im gonna go make something to eat for us." galaxy said as 404 left the room, leaving a trail of that ooze wherever he went "my xbox360... when im getting a new one?" galaxy walked over to the remains of his xbox, faceplate left intact and nothing else "never, thats when..."
galaxy walked down to the kitchen and started heating up a pan before pulling a gutted and beheaded trout from the fridge "eh, fresh enough, no mold thats what matters." galaxy said as he dropped some butter into the pan and started to score the fish hearing a screech from the bathroom "THE WATER MIGHT BE A BIT HOTTER THAN NORMAL!" galaxy shouted as he finished off seasoning the fish and tossed it in the pan, hearing it sizzle deliciously "oh yeah, this fish will be a good one." galaxy said as he watched the butter turn golden and crisp the fish skin as the heavenly aroma wafted through the house.
"havent had a shower in years, thanks man." 404 said as he walked back to the kitchen wearing a random hoodie he grabbed and a pair of spare pants "fish i assume?" 404 asked having galaxy nod as he ripped teh spine from the fish with ease and tossed it in the trash before dishing out the fish and putting it on the table "looks delicious thank you." 404 said as he went to grab some but had his hand slapped away by galaxy.
"not yet, salad isnt served." galaxy said as he dropped down the Caesar salad and served some for 404 who indulged in the flavor of the fish mixed with the bacon bits in the salad "tasty?" galaxy asked getting a nod from 404 who finished his fish rather fast and thanked galaxy "glad you enjoyed, fish is one of my specialties."
"you good if i sleep on the couch?" 404 asked having galaxy reply with 'yes' before 404 walked to the living room and almost instantly fell asleep on the couch only just barely being able to pull up a blanket before drifting off to sleep.
galaxy woke the next morning to a crashing noise, worried he dashed to the kitchen finding 404 on the ground broken plate and cup shards surrounding the nearby area "dont move." galaxy said as he levitated the shards and and tossed them in the trash before sitting down and wiping away some of the blood from the cut on 404s cheek bone "you ok?"
"im fine my balance is just a little bit messed up, havent walked in a long time, let alone stand on a chair." 404 said as he stood up and brushed the non-existent dust off his pants and hoodie before walking back to the couch "thanks for letting me stay the night." 404 said as he curled up in the blanket and galaxy walked over.
"stay as long as you want to 404, you did help me through those fights." galaxy said as he leaned on 404 hugging him "speaking of that, can you still help me with my games?" galaxy asked having 404 sigh in disappointment galaxy chuckling nervously.
"what a waste of a monster... but i can still help."
