“Well, the title that my… creator?- gave me is Analyst of the Multiverse. In not so fancy terms though, I check on every single AU to make sure there’s nothing wrong, while also making sure that the Balance is kept. The Balance is crucial, because too much or too little of one thing can send the whole multiverse to shambles. When I get an alert that something might be awry, I take a look at the source code of the problem, determine which skeleton would be best to fix it, and then go to notify them. I do this 24/7, so there’s no rest for the weary, as they say. I guess this also answers your question about whether or not I know other AUs. I will say though, I’m not really close to any of them- don’t have time to hang around and chat.

As for hobbies? I don’t really have any, sorry pal. My job needs my full attention.”

The Skeletons Scour is referring to:

Ink (protector of AUs)

Error (destroyer of AUs)

Dream (guardian of positivity)

Nightmare (guardian of negativity)

Scour, despite having a big role in the multiverse, does not actually personally know a lot of AUs. He’s always teleporting from one place to another, it’d be a miracle if you could get him so stay somewhere for more than a day if it isn’t work related.

However, he’s still a familiar face to some skeletons.

The Bad Sanses + Error and the Star Sanses see him the most. This is because Nightmares, Dream, Ink, and Error are all pivotal to the balance of the multiverse.

Scour definitely would! He was created in order to help keep track of the balance, so anybody that can help with that is amazing for him. If it’s something that can be fixed with a bit of coding, Circuit would be his go-to!

“I don’t really interact with other monsters that much. My job is done from afar most of the time, the few skeletons I interact with last for about 30 minutes. I know more AU names than occupants. It wouldn’t surprise me if we crossed paths before, though. After all, a stranger is a stranger until you make a connection.”

Scour is viewed as a myth. He’s never in the same place for more than a day if he’s not working, so it’s rare to come into contact with him.

He’s very serious about his job, and puts it above anything else, even his own well being sometimes.

He’s a serious, chill, compassionate individual, dedicated to his work.

He would, but would be defense only. He’s s not trying to go out of his way and make enemies, because he kind of needs to be everywhere to fulfill the requirements of his job.
