>I just got eaten

>Well. My projection did.

>Let’s just say Flaps is not safe to approach right now.

You don't understand, Outtie. Of course those words I wrote meant nothing to you, they weren't FOR you. They were meant for Flaps, who should have time to digest them and the situation itself once my magic wears out. But you are right, I should have expected you people would take the peaceful path, the goody-two shoes you all are...I hope I've made my message clear, though. We anons will always be attracted to drama, and to heroes, which Flaps has failed to be. He needs to step up his game.

>Flaps will perhaps be slightly upset by the entire thing, but since we’re keeping him from actually eating anyone, there will be no real concern for him. No need for guilt either, since that all falls on you.

>Ha. You don’t know me well.

>Your message of ‘hey look even though you’re still getting attention and questions, NOTICE ME IM A NEEDY LITTLE BABY RAWR I HAVE MAGICS’ has come through perfectly clear, thank you.

>As for Flaps, he has helped me come to the Void and find a safe, peaceful home. He already is my hero, as is Runi. Heck, considering everything, they are already heroes just be still here and trying their best. They don’t need to be sticking themselves in harms way to be one.

>Heroes know when to stop. Heroes deserve a break too.

>Well that is unfortuante

I know things have been absolutely insane lately for everyone lately, and judging by my calculations it was a terrible idea to help Monitor given what happened to Loyalty, but don't worry; everything will be alright! (*And just like that, a sad little tune begins to play... /watch?v=OkvVr6n1cGk)

>I am fully aware of that.

>However, I made an honest mistake. I thought he only wanted to create a body to escape Cubesy. He abused my trust and he will regret that.

>I have work to do.

>[Outsider swipes a hand across the tablet she’s holding, keeping her finger over a point]

>Ready?

*...As I’ll ever be

>[She nods towards Corner, before tapping at the screen to activate the new coding. Corner freezes up in place, her form glitching and wobbling, as static squares of multiple colours begin to dance across her, mostly focused around her legs. Outsider seems unfazed by this]

>As expected... now to just tweak...

>[A slight movement of her hand and Corner lets out a garbled gasp, unfreezing, the squares disappearing from her. She stumbles forward, her legs making a loud cracking sound as she does so, though she doesn’t seem to be in pain]

*A-Ah... what’s wrong?!

>Nothing... unfortunately due to how you function, you have to be conscious for the error correcting. Keep walking as best you can, the movement values will fix themselves once you show them how...

*[She winces, even if there was no pain, seeing her legs bend at bizarre angles was disturbing. Her body seems to be trying to work out what is right for her, even sprouting extra pairs of legs for a moment, before retracting them and having her flop down onto a jelly like substance for her lower half. Again, this seems wrong so they reform into legs once more... bending and becoming insect like, then swaying, long tentacles, before flickering through each set at high speed. Corner looks unwell...]

*Outsider...I...help...

>[There’s a grim look on Outsider’s face, before she breaks her cold act and runs over, pulling Corner into a hug and holding her close, supporting her. Tears stream down her face, but she focuses on moving Corner’s legs around, slowly and gently, helping them to adjust. Eventually, the shifting and glitching calms as the legs settle into a digitigrade form, complete with paw pads and a soft fur layer]

*...Oh...oh... yes! Yes you did it! These are my legs! I remember I rememb- Outsider?

[lostlabassistant-blog]

*...Wait... uh... What happened with Umbra?

>...Are you trying distract me and put this off?

*No, no I’m genuinely curious!

>The condition was caused by the Endgame shard developing. It was... rather cute, I admit.

*So that’s why you’ve suddenly pushed ahead. The M!A is over, huh?

>Close enough... I need this done before... you know I won’t take any of it well.

*It’ll be ok!

>...

[lostlabassistant-blog]

>Are you ready?

*...I guess so... are you sure about this?

>I am certain I have calculated everything correctly, made the necessary adjustments to your code and removed the errors. I just need to make it live... with your permission, of course.

*You have backups?

>Of course. They won’t be necessary but they are there.

*Run tests?

>You know this is not my first time doing this...

*True but-

>My emotionless state is not going to corrupt my work and morals

*... I’m nervous

>...I know. It will be quick. Don’t worry...

>[It’s not long before she’s up, going to look over a few books and her computer. Seems her tail is behaving, perhaps a clear mind really does help. She glances around, perhaps without everything in her mind screaming one way or the other, maybe she could at last focus on some of her projects. ]

>[Then again... without the emotional attachment, several of them seemed pointless, her energy was better spent on something else. But, she could at least consider dealing with Corner’s situation. No matter her feelings, or lack of them, she did promise to assist and she intended to keep that promise. One less load to handle... one less string that strangles]

>[I mean, she knew exactly where her Gaster was... she could just send Corner out there, but at this point that would put all the protection she’d bothered with previously to waste. Efficiency seemed very important right now. Something to hold onto. Maybe it was best to just continue down the memory repair route...]

>[But, no harm in speeding it up? At least, no permanent harm...hmm]
