Title says it all! Also, Killer/Hacker is standing on a stool. His legs are not that long, nor is this guy that tall. Now, onto the lore and stuff, starting with Dust, because *gestures at my blog*. also preemptive I talk about nightmare too a bit in these sections oops

♥︎

Hijack, the DT!Player, took over Dust’s body mostly on accident. Error had showed up in their AU, and Hijack suggested giving Dust their soul in order to better beat Error up. Dust did not want to do that at all, but Hijack essentially forced their soul upon him upon nearly getting captured by Error’s strings.

Hijack seized complete control over Dust, and with this newfound power, warded Error away. However, they are now stuck controlling Dust. They legitimately thought that they would just. Be able to jump out or something. So they panic. Dust, internally, is laughing his ass off. Before then panicking himself because The Player Is Stuck Controlling Him.

Nightmare, being multiversally nearby, was able to sense the high spike of negativity, and made himself welcome, bringing along his favorite—only, at the time—lackey along, Killer(Hacker). And Hacker, seeing a potential New Friend, wanted Hijack to join the gang. Nightmare accepted, and Hijack…accepted after some convincing(being slapped around by the other two).

Eventually, Hijack and Dust develop a sort of Player-Kris relationship. In which Dust knows that he needs Hijack around in order to survive in this multiverse, but also he hates their guts and being stripped of his freedom(which canonically is something very important to DT!Sans! Fun little note :)). Dust figures out how to “rip” Hijack’s soul out from him, and then proceeds to raid the fridge, and do other, Sans-like actions. He just wants to be himself.

Even more eventually, Hijack could learn to be like. Not an asshole. Get more attached to Dust and want what(they think) is best for him. Possibly.

Hacker and Killer’s origin is pretty simple. Right now I’m thinking that after Killer killed Chara, the Player just jumped into him instead like a parasite lol.

Hacker is SUCH an annoying asshole, very puntable. Unfortunately, very very deadly as well. They are also the real evil guy within Nightmare’s organization. Nightmare is akin to a cartoon villain, a bit like Megamind in how he likes the theatrics more than doing things that are actually evil. Hacker likes being evil. They like making other miserable not as much as they love finding “something new,” but it does seem to come close to that, with how foul they act. What can they say, being evil is fun!

Killer is utterly miserable. Sometimes, Hacker gives him control just to see what he might do. Sometimes he just curls up on the floor and dissociates. Sometimes he furiously apologizes to everyone he can, not asking for forgiveness, but because he is just genuinely so sorry about what Hacker had, has, and will do. Sometimes…

Sometimes, he’s hopeful.

Horror and Helper, Aliza’s Player, actually have the best Player-Sans relationship within the MTT. Although, Helper is too overprotective of Horror for his liking.

Nightmare and the Murder Duo enter Horrortale, to cause some mild chaos, while Aliza(and therefore, Helper) is right next to Horror and his telescope. That area. Anyways, Hacker immediately finds out that Aliza is controlled by a Player, and is like “Ooo, let’s get her to join our group :D” Nightmare doesn’t want that because it “ruins the theme.” Hijack wants to fight Horror. Battle junkie fr.

Then it’s decided that Horror will join the group. With Aliza’s soul. With Aliza’s Player. None of the HT trio want this. Nightmare(and Passive) think that this is a bit too evil, but Hacker convinced Hijack to help heckle Nightmare into agreeing to the idea.

Aliza and Helper try everything they can to make sure this doesn’t happen, dying many, many times, trying everything they could, but there doesn’t seem to be any other way then to give up the soul to Horror.

Horror tries to fight them all off as well, but fails because he is horribly outnumbered and outmatched. He doesn’t want to go with them but he doesn’t get a choice. Aliza doesn’t get a choice. THEY don’t get a choice.

But Aliza makes one. She chews everybody out while she can, then offers Horror her soul. The choice to accept is his, and he takes it. There’s nothing else he can do now, but Aliza tells him that he can do good after this. That he’ll get more choices to actually make, that he’ll be able to grow and to change not just himself, but with the others as well.

And the Helper’s going to help with that.

oh and nightmare by joku

working on the ControlledVerse lore and refs! Almost done with Corru’s(and I’m hoping to answer that one ask about him that I just. Have not answered yet), and I’m workshopping Hijack’s design a bit. I’m trying to figure out where to put the green on them. Corru’s green since they’re apart of his group ya know

Ngl Sans would not be this chill with Hijack. Maybe after like…a few months maybe, but idc if this is ooc rn.

Also this is how fat I want Hijack(Sans) to be I’ve drawn them just a bit too skinny before.

Dusttale by Ask-Dusttale

I was going to draw something more for today, but uh that didn’t happen. So you get Hijack making sure Sans is fed.

Also in CV, Phantom!Paps acts as the narrator. Hijack can hear him cause they’re possessing Sans, but when he throws their soul out of himself, they can no longer hear Phantom.

Mmmmn more ControlledVerse. Basic CV!Berror lore, he absorbed his player/chara’s soul after he started ERRORing, as per the human’s request. They wanted to help him out, and thought that that would work.

And it does! Kinda. Now there’s a ERROR bar for the player to keep low, to keep Blue/Berror’s ERRORing under control. Occasionally though, he’ll ERROR anyways. And then the player has to wait the ERRORing out, and can’t interfere with Berror at all.

I can’t decide whether or not Berror’s game should be a beat-em up, or a visual novel. Maybe a mix of the two idk

Would’ve also done today’s Dustcember prompt but I suddenly fell a bit ill(a bit better now), so that’s mashing with tomorrow’s prompt ;)

But, how do these games get to them? Enter:

The HAND CORE corporation, the world’s number 1 producer and distributor of video games. From their instant hit classic of “UNDERRALE” their game roster has only kept on increasing, with more “UNDER” and “TALE” games spawning off from the original.

The members of ｢HAND CORE｣ do this to raise the ｢FUN｣ value of the multiverse, to unlock the true “core” of it—to unlock Deltarune. Deltarune the game doesn’t exist for the people in “real” world because it can’t even be reached.

But ｢HAND CORE｣ aren’t the only ones who give others “special” games. ｢TAINT｣ is a group who also wants to unlock Deltarune, typically being people who used to work for ｢HAND CORE｣ in the past. But have their own ways of doing things, and their own goals.

THE MAIN STORY:

In Dreamtale, the Player controls Nightmare, and goes to other AU to spread their Negativity. Player ｢CURRO｣, a Dreamtale Player, meets up with ｢HACKER｣, an Undertale Player who figured out how to gain control over their Sans.

Player ｢CURRO｣ is surprised to meet another Player, especially since Dreamtale wasn’t marketed as a multiplayer game. And this new Player, how did they hack their game to control Sans, of all characters? Player ｢HACKER｣ convinces Player ｢CURRO｣ to build a team of fellow Players, promising to answer all his questions then.
