Chapter Text
Once, long long ago, there was a man. He was a scientist, and often did experiments. His latest subject had been darkness itself. He discovered a way to create beacons of darkness, like a negative sun. With this knowlege he sought to create a being powerful enough to overcome this darkness. A being known as The Angel. He managed to form a connection with The Angel. He had it craft the perfect form. But suddenly, it was pulled away, leaving the vessel empty, and the scientist without answers. Now he sails the seven seas, searching for the angel, and leaving terror in his wake. This is the tale of Captain Weird Deird Gast-
“OHHHH MY GOD DUDE I KNOW.” December cut in, “THIS IS LIKE THE 6TH TIME YOUVE SAID THIS”
“Well it is an important tale to tell!”
“It really isn’t.”
“I- Wh- It very much is!”
“Your sob story about getting stood up by some evil deity is like the least important thing ever.”
“Well what story do you have that’s so much better?”
“Oh gee I dunno, maybe the one where I get kidnapped and forced to act like some crazy pirate?”
“You know that what happened to you was unintentional.”
“Well maybe if SOMEONE kept an eye on his dumbass evil cat I’d be hanging out at college with my friends and not stuck in the middle of some endless ocean of darkness or whatever you called it.”
“December you know Friend doesn’t listen to me. It hunts for it’s own food and if it decides you’re food there’s nothing I can really do to stop it.”
“Maybe you could like. Not keep it on the ship? So that way I at least dont have to wear this dumb heavy armour all the time?”
“…Ohhhh land ahoy lookie there I see an island!”
“You’re a bitch Dr. Gaster.”
“That is Captain Doctor Gaster to you!”
“Oh my angel bruh im gonna go talk to Norma you suck.” Dess muttered, slinking away. She could hear Gaster humming that horrendous sea shanty behind her. In truth, it wasn’t all too bad on the ship. She still had contact with Kris, and them and her mom even seemed to have some sort of a plan to kidnap her back. She just had to deal with her only company being some crazy green delusional pirate-doctor, a parrot who she was like 98% sure was a cannibal, a living cloak who seemed to be the only person who that evil fucking cat actually listened to, and occasionally a decent darkner named Aqua who would fly over and play with them. She wasn’t that bad, and honestly kinda reminded Dess of Kris, back before them and Noelle swapped names, and they would run around terrorizing her sister with plastic knives. But the flower wasn’t here right now, so her best company would be Norma the probably-cannibal bird.
“Hey Norma hows it hangin.”
“Hey- Hey- it-s hangin.”
Right. Gotta include answers if you ask a question. The bird seemed only really able to communicate via words you just said to them, though she definitely heard them having a fairly normal conversation with Gaster once, so they might just be doing it to piss everyone off.
“Good old Captain Doctor Weird Deird Wing Ding Gaster the Green says he saw land ahead. I don’t think he was telling the truth, but you never do know with him.”
“Land ahead- telling the truth-“
“Oh, y’think so? I guess if there is I can actually get away from his evil ass for a bit. Wonder what the place’ll be like. Anyway, what are you making for dinner tonight? Some of that nice Takoyaki again I hope.”
Norma shook their head a bit, before replying, “I- get away- for a bit- Takoyaki-“
“Oh, what’re you getting away to? And what about the Takoyaki? If there’s some leftover I wouldn’t mind having it again, it was really good, that like onion-y taste was a really nice surprise.”
“Some- leftover. away- if- you-“
“What? Wait are you saying there’s leftover Takoyaki but I can’t have it?”
“There’s lefotover Takoyaki but- you- can’t have it.” Norma grinned.
“OH OK WELL FUCK YOU TOO MAN! Angel ABOVE everyone on this ship sucks! I’m gonna go aurafarm in my room! Alone!” Dess yelled storming off, “Wherever we land had better not be full of annoying people or i’m actually gonna kill Gaster myself.”
