I think whiteday knmf has changed trajectory of my life. Never been in my life i was dedicating myself to them by a lot..

Anyway here's a draft from their lore, given no context.. one day I'll definitely refine this meow..

The dream was a lacework of blurred images, steeped in something remotely akin to the warm breath of nostalgia.

A simple little side story about when Nightmare was first taken, and everyone from the brothel is worrying about him and where he is. So here's the side story of a handful of them worrying about Nightmare. There is a lot of Brothel members and I wouldn't be able to do them all (especially since I'm still working on many of them) so here's a handful of their reactions!

Since this is just a draft, I'll be working on the final draft in due time, then convert that final draft into a mini comic. I don't own any of the characters this is just my interpretation of them for my AU here. Enjoy!

------------------------------------

Muffet -

Muffet thought as she made her way into one of the backrooms. Sliding the door closed behind her before making her way over to one of the couches. This room was one of the many break rooms that she had made years ago for everyone that works/lives at the Brothel. A set of rooms where no guests are allowed so they can relax for a while. The rooms were completely empty at the moment, as everyone was busy out in the other sections of the Brothel. Leaning back she sighed a little and stared at the ceiling for a moment. Frowning a little and getting lost in thought.

Nightmare had gone out to meet up with Baggs and check the herb fields today… and Baggs had come over to check on Nightmare, thinking that their special skeleton was sick… meaning that he’s gone missing.

Muffet placed an arm on her face and sadly sighed. Keeping her face covered as one of her little mochi spiders came down from the ceiling and landed on her arm. She can’t close up the Brothel tonight since they’ve got no good reason to do so, plus they’ve got a bunch of good paying customers in today. So it would be bad for them to chase them out to go search for Nightmare. Baggs was already looking around the village to try and figure out what happened to him.

The tall spider woman looked up as she heard the light tap, tap, tap of pointed limbs hitting the wooden ground. Looking back at Kiri. Her special giant little nerikiri spider child. “Oh Kiri it’s just horrible.” She whined and turned in her seat. The massive snack spider made a little whine like sound as they nuzzled their head up to Muffet’s body. She wrapped her arms and back appendages around the massive head. “Our lil Nighty has gone missing.” She frowned worriedly while petting the massive snack spider.

Kiri made a low growl at that. Tapping one of their back legs on the ground before dragging it along the wood food. Sounding out their displeasure at the knowledge.

“I know. I know. I haven’t told the other’s yet because of the good fortune tonight. Can’t have our reputation go down the drain after all.” Muffet then sat up. Frowning a little in worry. Looking at her little mochi spiders as she picked a few of them up. “I need you all to go out and help Baggs in his search. Alright?” Standing up and walking over to the window. Kiri letting out sounds as they scurried over to the window as well.

“I know you wish to join them Kiri. But your too big, and we need you for security. But once the Brothel closes for the night-” Muffet looked back at the massive snack spider as she opened the window and placed the spiders down. “You’ll be able to go and join them in their search. I’ll close the Brothel down for tomorrow. So everyone can have a chance to search for him.” She frowned worriedly and looked at the darkening sky. Watching as the first few stars started to appear. “I hope he’s alright…”

---

Baggs -

Baggs thought as he tiredly walked around the outskirts of the village. Searching tiredly and desperately for Nightmare after learning that his student wasn’t home sick. “Now where is he…” He muttered to himself. Frowning as the sky had turned crimson a while back and was now starting to darken.

Stopping at his home. He thought about what to do for the moment. Heading inside to grab some supplies. His right eye light shrinking while his left one grew larger. A large grin on his face as a swirl of magic started to radiate from it. “I need to be prepared.” He chuckled slowly while emptying his inventory.

Placing the supplies that he and Nightmare were gonna use for the day down on the table, before grabbing some other supplies. Humming as he looked at the different herbs and animals he had carefully stored away. He’s stored a large variety of different levels of poisoned and venomous things over his 70 years. If he needs to force any information out of someone and they decide to try and resist his hypnosis magic, or they’re one of the very rare immune people, then these will do the trick.

Carefully picking up the container that held a yellow-bellied sea snake within it and placing it in his inventory. A glass container that held a jelly fish within it. Another carefully sealed container that held an Asian hornet within. Then finally pulling his gloves on and grabbing the tiny sealed blue glass vile that held a couple of leaves from the dendrocnide moroides plant. Grinning a little as he looked the leaves over.

While it was rare for someone to be able to resist his hypnosis abilities. He needs to make sure to be prepared. After all he doesn’t know who he’ll be encountering. Nor if they’ll be willing to cooperate. “Best to be prepared.” He hummed to himself while placing the antidote to the yellow-bellied sea snake, the remedy for the jelly fish, and itch relief into his inventory as well.

His insomnia is going to give him a great perk for the night. Grinning to himself before walking out of his home. Tiredly frowning as he looked up at the sky and started to see a few stars revealing themselves. “Best get moving.” He muttered to himself before starting to walk.

Sin, Hearts, & Lust -

Sin thought as he looked around. He, Hearts, and Lust had grouped up together to search for their precious little skeleton. His tail whipping around behind him as the bells around his wrists and ankles made little ting sounds. Muffet had told them about Nightmare’s disappearance as soon as she could without disrupting their customers. He really did wish that she had told them the moment that she learned about Nightmare vanishing… then again he also understands why that would be bad for business. He shook his skull in frustration. “Grrr… this is so frustrating.” He crossed his arms and looked between a couple of buildings as they went passed.

“I agree.” Lust frowned worriedly as he thought for a moment before going over to a traveling merchant that he saw. Hoping that they may have some answers.

Hearts nodded in agreement. “Yes… this is very troubling… someone took our nibbling.” Bringing his hands up and cracking his knuckles. “If I find out that someone has badly hurt them.” He growled in anger while glaring at the ground. “I’ll make sure that they lose their legs.”

“Oooh very harsh indeed.” Sin nodded in agreement. Ignoring the looks the three of them were receiving. While he usually loved getting all the attention of everyone around him, right now, despite still wearing his bells, he wasn’t in the mood for all the attention. He would’ve ditched them sooner if everyone hadn’t been in a rush to start their search for Nightmare.

Their group was getting a lot of attention right now. After all the three of them were known in the Demon’s Temptations Brothel under their title of The Jeweled Flowers. Sure, while Hearts isn’t known for their skills in bed. He gained his Jeweled Flower title for his fighting skills, cooking skulls, and game skills. Sin was well known for his Succubus like nature. While Lust is known for his skills of game, succubus nature, and musical skills. The three of them all worked hard in earning their titles.

None of them were really worried about anyone trying anything to them while they were out and about. After all the Villagers greatly respect them. Especially after the times that they’ve aided in keeping barbarians and rouges from attacking and harming everyone. Not to mention Hearts is a strong fighter. Ready to basically break someones bones if they pissed him off enough. So they’ve truly not nothing to fear right now.

Lust sighed as he walked back over to Sin and Hearts. “That new merchant hasn’t seen Nightmare at all.” He shook his skull. “Hasn’t even seen a skeleton matching his description.”

“We also need to try and find Baggs as well.” Hearts pointed out. “Muffet did say that he had gone out to start searching for Nightmare as soon as he learned that he wasn’t at the Brothel.” He pointed out as they continued forward. To their knowledge Baggs had most likely said up all night searching for Nightmare. Which wouldn’t really surprise them. “Let’s go and check out the herd fields. We’re the closest to there right now.”

The three of them sped up their pace. Making their way to the herb fields. There was a few good plots of land outside of the village that was once used for growing food. But when Baggs came along, after some time, he had purchases some of these fields and converted them into massive herd gardens. It’s come ins great handy for everyone in the village. As they walked into the first field the three of them immediately saw Baggs.

The short skeleton sat there on his knees. Wearing his cloak around his shoulders, while holding a basket in his hands. The Jeweled Flowers immediately recognized the basket the apothecary was holding.

Lust covered his mouth and quickly ran forward. Tears in his sockets. “That can’t be what I think it is?!” He whined while holding his hand over his mouth. Standing in front of Baggs as he looked down at the beautifully woven basket.

Sin shook. Shakily storming up to the short skeleton kneeling down on the ground. Anger building up inside of him. “Whooo…” He hissed in rage.

The basket is one that Muffet and Lavender both took time to carefully work on. The woven twigs, straw, and silk that had been carefully layered and twisted. The interact pattern that was crafted around the entire thing. The purple and cyan silk that was used to make straps for the arms, and a length of cyan silk that was used to keep the lid and basket attached.

Baggs was holding onto the arm straps of the basket tightly in his hands. Face covered in shadows as he tightly held his mouth closed. Lowly growling in anger. “Someone took him.” He hissed. “And right now… I don’t know who.”

Hearts listened to them. Tightly clenching his fists. Then after a moment. Quickly spun around and slammed the heel of his foot into the stone that made up the stone fencing around the garden. The others ignored Hearts as he started loudly shouting swears and curses upon whoever took their little nibbling.

The Brothel has been raising Nightmare since he was only 6 years of age. Sure while none of them were his birth family. Nightmare was theirs. They’ve raised him, cared for him, and loved him for 16 years of time. The goopy skeleton was basically their child… and someone decided to kidnap him.

Lust shook a little and started to wipe away his tears. “We… we need to let the others know…” He sadly whined and looked down. Shakily standing up and staring at the basket that Baggs was holding. They can’t delay informing the other Brothel members. Many are going to be devastated.

Lavender -

Lavender sadly counted out their earnings that they’ve received so far. Counting the gold coins and trying to not worry too much over Nightmare. It’s been almost three weeks since Nightmare had been taken. They’ve been keeping an eye out for him and carefully listening in on conversations within the Brothel and outside. Hoping to get some sort of word about their little nibbling. She blinked and looked up as a traveler walked in.

The short rabbit human hybrid monster looking up at Lavender. “Excuse me. Is this were letters are to be delivered?” The hybrid questioned while looking up at the rabbit monster. “ I hope I didn’t come to the wrong room. I was told the place to bring messages was some where back here.”

“Oh um you can give me whatever message you have. I can easily take it.” The hybrid nodded. “Alright then.” Lavender held her hand out. The hybrid then made their way out. “If you need a message delivered just let me know. I’ll stand out here.” They stated.

Lavender blinked a little in surprise as a simple scroll was placed in her hand. Eyes widening as she saw the marker that was wrapped around in the silk. The symbol of the Empire. ‘A message directly from the Empire!? Did they want to purchases their serves for a celebration or something?!’ She then quickly unrolled the scroll and stared at it.

“MUFFET! HURRY UP AND GET IN HERE!” The hybrid in the hallway jumped in surprise. Staring back at the room. “Geeze what was written in that scroll?” They questioned as a tall spider lady quickly ran passed them and into the room. “Eh whatever. Ain’t any of by business.” Shaking their head before looking back at the wall across from them.

Muffet looked at the scroll with Lavender. [Dear Step Mom Muffet, Step Mom Lavender, everyone else at the Brothel, and Baggs. I’m sorry to have caused you such stress and worry. I did not mean to cause any of you any such distress upon my unfortunate situation. To make a long story short. I had been kidnapped and sold off to the X-Empire. So far I’m stuck working here for the next 2 years of time to pay it all off then I’ll be able to return home. I do hope you all stay well. I hope to return home as soon as I possibly can once my term is up. With love your little nibbling Nightmare.]

“Nightmare is okay.” Lavender let out a breath and relaxed a little.

Here's a nice story draft of Core and Nightmare first meeting each other. Honestly the main story so far doesn't really go into detail about how they first encountered each other. So I decided to make this little mini story to show that. Eventually it'll be made into a mini comic.

Progress on the main story line is going as smoothly as it possibly could. Working on it while working on a bunch of other things so progress is a little slow, but it'll be worth it.

------------------

Core slowly peeked into the room at all the new consorts that were brought in. Staring at all the new monsters and humans in awe. They squeaked as a shadow was over them. Looking back at the eunuch as they were staring down at them. They blinked up at the monster that stood there with their monster beside them.

“Well that explains were you went.” Lotus hummed quietly. Thinking for a moment and looking at the door. “… I’m guessing that there is a new group of consorts joining today?” She quietly questioned.

The skeleton next to her huffed slightly. “You shouldn’t be here.” The skeleton said quietly. Making sure to not interrupt the lessons happening in the other room. Everyone in that room are getting the basic run down of all they need to know. From building locations to the jobs that they’ll be doing.

“Sorry mom… sorry eunuch guard Blackberry…” Core said quietly and looked into the room again. Blinking as they heard someone close to the door. Tilting their head slightly at the skeleton and smiled. “Skeleton!” She whispered excitedly. That seemed to grab the monsters attention. Looking back at them with a bright cyan eye light.

Core excitedly bounced as the monster walked out the room with everyone else, following eunuch in the room as they left through a different door. Most likely about to be shown around the place to learn the layout of everything. They then turned to look at her mother and Blackberry. “There’s a skeleton!” They excitedly cheered and ran over to their mother.

Blackberry blinked at that. “Oh I’ve heard about that. A strange looking skeleton. From what one eunuch said. They have bones that appear to be charred? But I don’t know how true that is.” He shook his head a little. “That and something about their strange clothing…” He sighed. “Look Core. You really need to try and not snoop around here. Okay? You might get in trouble if your not careful.” He warned them.

Lotus softly giggled. “Well at least we found them before some other guard did.” She then picked up Core. “Come along Core. We might run into that skeleton you saw later if we’re lucky.” She softly chuckled and walked.

Core looked back at the building. Staring in awe and wiggled their legs slightly.

------

Core looked around. Making a face as they tried finding the skeleton they saw before. They stared at some of the new faces. Seeing plenty of humans, a couple of dog monsters, some cat monsters, bird monsters, and other monsters. Pouting a little when they have yet seen the skeleton monster.

“Careful Core. Your face might stick that way if your not careful.” Their mother warned as she continued to cook for the other consorts. Humming softly as she set the some bowls over to the side for the miso and rice.

Core looked over at their mom. “I’m trying to find the skeleton I saw.” They then looked back at the eating area. Tilting her head to the side.

“Well maybe they’re still looking around?” Lotus suggested while checking over the miso. “Just make sure to not get in any trouble, and don’t be out long. The dinner is almost done.” She told them and looked over at another cook to answer them.

Core smiled excitedly and ran off. Giggling as they moved between between a couple of the consorts and new consorts. Making their way to the door and stood in the outer halls. Going over to the handrail and climbed up to get a better view. Tilting their head slightly as they looked around. “Hmmm… where are they?” They questioned themselves and hopped over the railing to the more open area.

They smiled as they walked around the open courtyard. Humming as they looked at the cherry blossom tree that was growing over in one of the little grass areas of the courtyard. Tilting their head slightly as they went over to the tree and looked around it. Frowning a little when they didn’t see them. “… not here.” They then walked down one of the paths to a different open courtyard halls that lead to one of the many buildings.

Standing at the top of the stairs in the hall and looked up and down it. Then smiled when they caught a glimpse of the skeleton. They hopped in excitement and ran over to them. “I found you!” They giggled excitedly. Wrapping their arms around the skeletons leg.

The skeleton stopped and looked down at Core. Blinking in confusion. “… where did you come from child?” They questioned while placing a hand on the child’s head.

Core smiled as they looked up at the skeleton. “My name is Core! Who are you? You look super cool!” They smiled and took a step back. Holding onto the hand that was on their head. Tilting their head slightly to the side as they looked the skeleton monster over. Blinking a little as they looked at the skeleton in awe.

The skeleton that stood in front of them looked like a skeleton, but they were also goopy looking. A dark cyan colored coating of… something. This strange layer of goop that covered their body moved and flowed. Trailing from the head down. The goo covering their right eye. The skeletons single bright cyan colored eye light looking at them. Core stared at the crescent moon shaped iris that they have. Taking notice of the large single fang that was sticking out of their mouth. The skeleton mostly wore dark blues and purples, except for the light purple bow and the strange metal thing that was around their neck.

The skeleton blinked a little. “My name is Nightmare, child.” They crouched down and looked Core over. Raising their brow and tilting their head slightly. Seeming to think about something. Before their socket widened and eye light blowing out slightly. Looking around for a moment. “Where is your mother?” They pulled Core closer. “Did someone seriously kidnap a child and sell them as a consort?” They heard Nightmare mutter under his breath.

“No my mom is cooking!” Core smiled as they took Nightmare’s hand. “Come on!” They pulled at Nightmare’s arm. Attempting to lead the skeleton along.

Nightmare thought as they let Core lead them. Looking around and listening to others around them. They relaxed a little and looked down at Core. “So Core. How old are you?” He raised a brow at the child.

“I’m 8 years of age! How old are you?” Core smiled up at Nightmare as they made their way to the door.

Nightmare nodded. “I’m 22 years of age.” He looked up as they entered the eating area. Thinking as they looked at the layout of the room. Then watched as Core let go of his hand and ran towards the door that lead to the kitchen area. He thought and followed after them. Standing outside of the door with his hands crossed in front of him in his sleeves.

Core giggled as they came out. Smiling happily as they pointed up at Nightmare. “I found them mom! Lookie! Lookie!” They giggled happily.

“Core don’t point.” Lotus said as she walked out of the kitchen holding onto a tray of food. Blinking as she looked at Nightmare. “Oh hi there. My name is Lotus.” She softly chuckled. “Sorry about my child.” She then handed Core the tray. “Here’s your food sweetie.” She hummed and kissed Core’s head.

Core smiled as they took the tray and looked up at Nightmare. “Your sitting with me!” They claimed and bounced a little on their feet.

Nightmare blinked a little. “… I guess I’m sitting with you, it seems.” He shrugged and looked at Lotus. “Honestly Core isn’t much of a bother.” He watched where Core went to sit.

Lotus blinked and looked at Nightmare. “Um what is…” She stared at the metal that was on his back. Making a face for a moment. “OH! One second.” She went back into the kitchen. Grabbing a tray for herself and one for Nightmare. Walking back out. “Here.” She smiled while handing him a tray.

Nightmare took the tray and nodded. “Thank you.” He then walked over to where Core was. Sitting down next to them as he set the tray down on the table. Lotus joining them and sitting across from them. He looked at Core as the young child talked to him. Telling him all about the fun stuff that they do in the Empire. Nightmare hummed slightly as he started to slowly eat his rice. Listening to Core talk.

Honestly he doesn’t know how to describe it… but Core seemed to remind him of someone… their happy excited personality, the joy radiating off of them… just something that seemed to be missing from his soul seemed to be filled. While Core obviously can’t be a replacement for whatever it is he’s lost… he can at least take this time an enjoy that empty feeling being gone…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

– Could you please stop using the pots and pans to wake me up every morning ? I barked as I went down the stairs.

I tied my bathrobe around my waist, followed by the amused voice of Charles.

– But they're so pantastic to wake you up !

– Ugh, and quit it with the puns too... I muttered.

I entered the kitchen as irritated as every morning, but was welcomed by the delightful scent of freshly brewed coffee. A pot was set on the counter next to my favourite mug, the one with stars and moons that said "Girl boss" in cursive black letters.

– Did you...

– I did, said proudly the man of my life.

– I would kiss you if I could.

"You're beautiful," I said, a little hoarsely. The words just tumbled out. I couldn't stop looking at Neil as she sat beside me, watching the stars.

She turned her head towards me, a smile gracing her lips. Her gaze met mine, and we froze, each of us intently studying the other's eyes. The corners of my mouth tilted upwards on their own accord, and my heart clenched with the sheer beauty of the moment. I honestly thought this kind of thing only happened in books or movies, but here, right now, tonight, Neil and I were creating it.

"Really?" she replied, her gaze dropping slightly.

"Absolutely. Do you believe me? Or are you still finding it hard to?" I chuckled, sensing that she was more relaxed now, and definitely more open with me.

"I'll think about it," Neil replied playfully, "but thank you," she added immediately in a whisper, a faint blush rising on her cheeks, though hidden by the darkness of the night.
