Booker had been through much as of late since Kagami has left as already things in the Valley had been picking up activity besides the usual Unmaking ordeal. However, now there was the potential of being invaded by this X Regime at anytime, ohh, he was not looking forward to this, and he'd wished that things would settle down and stay down for once.

This anxiety isn't good for the Boo and he needed to breathe in relief.

However, as he was floating around the warped leafless landscape, he stopped to see the very stone and wooden vine filled dilapidated yet still standing cottage that Kagami had came from and had a brief memory of the place to which he first encountered Kagami.

It was a rainy day outside and as far as he can recalled she was just a little child at that time, old enough to handle things on her own but lacked someone to look after her, of course, she had hordes of objects inside that place that she stole from people and other individuals but she knew how to deal with situations like this. She was interested with him in terms of studying the likes of magic, paranormal and other things, of course, she was a strange type, eccentric even.

While she was fiesty but at the same time, she was a troubled soul, namely to the fact that he knows that she is an orphan as she had nobody to look out for her. However, he couldn't help to wonder where she was really from besides the fact that she was from outside the Valley as the other Boos would tell him, but ever since then, he has taken to the responsibility to ensure the Beanish doesn't get herself into trouble.

When the memory ended, Booker looked around for a bit, he decided to go inside the abandoned cottage to see that it hasn't changed much since Kagami had it for several years. An organized mess of things as par usual but there was the brief moment as he would hear some static from nearby going off with different voices from what it seems to be from a radio while he was already making past the opening area to inside the hallow hallways.

Booker sighed, hoping that it wasn't another Boo taking over the object as they would occasionally do that to mess around as electronics are usually one of their favorite hiding spots to be at as he would follow the noise as he would be fixing his collar, calming himself down with a sigh.

"Just hope it isn't another one of the Boos messing around with Kagami's special collection of objects. One would think that child would had brought some sort of lucky charm or something like that with her but she decided to travel light." he mumbled under his breath. "Maybe she did? I'm not sure, it's usually hard to tell. She could really use a backpack or something else besides her hoodie she has had for so long."

There he goes again.

There was, indeed, a radio amidst the piles of things that Kagami had collected. It seemed to be buried within everything, and thus was muffled, but some voices could be heard within it. They were... incomprehensible, to say the least. It all sounded less like intelligible voices with clear diction, clear vocabulary, and more like bleeps and bloops or something that one would expect from the ravings of a computer than that of a person.

Whatever it was... it sounded oddly sad. Every bloop sounded low and drawn out, almost like it was crackling before skipping back into place. Whatever was making the noise, though, wasn't there, or at least, could not be seen.

It was just Boo and the radio, by themselves amidst the dilapidated cottage, where the vines curled inwards like old fingers and the stone seemed sharp and the wood held out splinters, where it had long since been abandoned by all except the Arbiters themselves.

As he recently entered into Kagami's room to find the source, Booker perked up out of surprise for a bit, frowning afterwards.

The thing was something or someone was talking and the radio is picking it up to which was handy for him but at the same time, he couldn't understand the crackling.

"Excuse me?" he asked with curiosity. "Who is there? Are you another Boo? Or are you.."

A pause as he held his arms together.

"Okay, actually I don't know who you are but do you need help?"

He felt bad but how can he understand something or someone like this? He was absolutely stumped.

Remembering the radio frequency did sound low and drawn out from earlier and he wondered somewhat: Was it of sadness? Or was it of calmness? Or rather..both? If only Kagami was here but she was with Sans on another planet as of now.

"If you are looking for Kagami, I'm sorry but she's currently out with someone..well, with a skeleton named Sans actually, but I'm sure she will be back."

He can't help but to feel that he spoke a bit too much on that but he was nervous.

No one responded. Nothing even moved. It was just Boo talking to himself, at least at first.

The radio crackled some more, sounding quicker, higher-pitched, even stunned, or at least as stunned as any radio could sound. Nothing seemed to move, but at the same time, it truly felt like something else was there, somewhere in that little room, hidden in the shadows.

The radio seemed to crack a bit, like something had just squeezed it a bit, but Boo detected no presence that he could see. Its next words sounded harsher and strained.

Following the crackling sounds, it would seem that Booker had gotten their attention as it almost sound like desperate.

"Hmm..this is going to be tricky. Erm..let's see.."

Booker really didn't want to go through Kagami's things but he would have to until he would find something akin to an old cell phone with a cracked screen which alit up as soon as the cell phone was accessed.

"Oh dear, the screen's slightly cracked. Well, it's not that bad."

He sighed before he looked to the radio.

"Could you repeat that again please? I'm hoping this would pick up and it sounded that you had questions. I can't understand you but maybe I could, if I'm right, can get a better clue to what you are trying to say."

He would hope there was a text message function on this thing to which he would find.

"Ah, here's the messenger app. I think? I'm sorry, I'm not very familiar with this but perhaps this would help."

This time, it seemed to come from both the radio and the old phone itself. The old phone seemed to develop static along the corners of its cracked screen, and he could feel the electricity rumbling within the chassis of the phone.

As Boo held out the phone, the messenger app shook, vibrating as the sounds pierced through its speakers. Its sounds came in the form of seemingly random symbols, of hands and mailboxes and candles and odd, incomprehensible signs. They formed, quivering within the app, and seemed to resist the inevitable change from one symbol to another letter, until finally, as if giving up, a phrase revealed itself in the app.

"It doesn't matter..."

Booker felt the vibration which prompted him to hold onto it with a stronger grip so it doesn't fall out. He would eventually look down to the phone and see the message.

"It doesn't matter? What are you talking about? It does matter! If you care about something that much, apathy is most certainly not the best route to take." he frowned. "You reacted after I spoke about either Sans or Kagami. I know Kagami is with that mountain that Sans was in on Erde Nona I believe. Something about Mt. Ebbott as the sign I saw en route over."

He wondered a bit.

"Something about that mountain was strange. Almost if the place was static itself somewhat and while I don't know much about what they did, that's all on them while they were exploring the place. Though, mumblings of Govermore being Unmade which has happened and Sans had a reaction to it but the thing is that yes, what is going on is the Unmaking and the Crossroads is in peril but people are fighting back against it so we have to have hope and do our part as well."

His tone was not only of seriousness, calmness but determination as well before he would calm down before looking to the radio.

"Oh and another thing, my name is Booker if you are curious. I apologize for not speaking up earlier."

"It changes nothing. It's too big. You can't fight it."

Its voice sounded utterly defeated and scared. A small, static-filled flicker erupted from an empty corner in the room, but quickly disappeared again like light behind a cloud.

"There are the Arbiters that are also going against the rogue one. It's not just the individuals from the perspective planets, everyone is in this."

Even if Govermore's Arbiter was lost, Booker believes there could still be a way but it wasn't long he would see the small, static-filled flicker at the corner.

"However, I have to ask this: how did you get in this house? Were you led here by a Boo or something else? And most importantly, what is your name?"

He was curious about the story of this strange visitor's appearence as he was waiting for answers.

"IT DOESN'T MATTER! WE ARE ALL DOOMED! ALL OF US! EVEN DARKSEID..."

The voice came as a piercing shout through the radio and phone. The glowing screen seemed to grow brighter with every word before it finally dimmed. The static, too, seemed to grow more filled-in, more humanoid in appearance, but oddly blocky as well, like an imperfect, 3D model of what a human was meant to look like. It looked like someone was hunched down, head buried in their arms and curled up into the corner.

"I just wandered. I don't remember how long. I don't care, either."

The static in the corner seemed to adjust itself a bit, but still did not face Booker. Booker couldn't even tell if it had a face at all. It seemed to just have a hunched back and a pair of arms to bury its head-like shape into.

Booker's eyes widened as he was literally being screamed at by another entity, however, he couldn't help but the fact despite the situation, he felt sorry for the other.

"I don't believe that your name is as lost as it seems. Perhaps you may have amnesia."

Booker wondered for a bit as he crossed his arms as he would take his time.

"It's not as hopeless as it seems to be. In fact, Kagami was the same way before and just getting her out of the Valley was a challenge in itself and now, she's found a friend with Sans."

He sighed. "Even if I'm not sure to where you are from or anything, something tells me that you would want to see them again."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "Please let me help you."

Booker wonders what he could do to help this fragment as he believed that he has to do this.

"You don't understand. You CAN'T understand."

Still, the static adjusted itself some more, and for a moment, Booker thought he saw a face, somehow, within it. Or maybe that was he wanted to see? Some trick of his mind as he tried to find a face in the corner of the room?

"It's too big. It's all too big..."

The phone went silent. The radio, meanwhile, seemed to turn into nothing more than mere cacophonous static.

Then...

"Is Sans alright?"

Booker was surprised as he saw the face for a brief moment, however, he eventually nodded.

"Yes, he is."

Well, according to what he remembered on meeting the skeleton.

"Like I said, he and Kagami are together."

He hopes that they are still together because if not, that's not good news at all. Kagami can't be left alone as she has a tendency to be mischievous and cause issues and plus, that would be a broken promise as well which would make it worse for Booker to the point he would have to step up protection of Kagami.

"Does he know what happened?"

The static-shape in the corner crumpled up into itself once more, even as its voice seemed filled with concern.

"I did remember hearing about him talking about some nerd scientist skeleton that goes by Gaster and some other things, well, next to some rather intrusive textbooks revealing about puns, the corruption, the mysterious entity inside Mt. Ebbott and so forth in passing."

He sighed.

"Oh Kagami, why must you get yourself involved in these antics? Enough to have me to be in akin to having a nonexistent heart attack over the sheer amount of anxiety the child brings me to. She hasn't changed much since she has been here in Uncanny Valley for so long especially with the strong desire for adventure and even knowledge among other things."

A nod.

"Almost if she has to keep going even if it involves getting into trouble by another party. She has this strong aria of determination about her."

"He... remembers?"

The figure in the corner seemed to finally turn to face Booker. There were no expressions on its face-like block, nor any resemblance to fingers, digits, or any other sort of appendages on its arms, nor any toes or anything else of the sort on its feet. It seemed to be a, within the static, a perfectly white humanoid composed of buzzing distortions.

"If your name really is Gaster, then it's not as lost as you think it is."

Booker's tone was calm in spite of the other's negative reaction to his answers.

"Especially considering that Sans is around as well since you show some format of concern for him, just like I have with Kagami."

He paused a bit.

"We aren't that much different there, are we?"

It knelt back down into its original position, seemingly too weak to do anything else.

"It's just Retsag now."

After a few moments, though, it seemed to look back at Booker. The static that comprised its form fizzled, growing sharper, with more chaotic edges.

"Well, considering that we have someone to look out for, you with Sans and me with Kagami. That's what I meant."

He sighed.

"I'm not someone that really is into the sciences that much as I prefer magic much like Kagami does because I'm more familiar with it. Though, I cannot deny that they do have their similarities here and there."

Booker was trying to keep calm and civil about this, despite of the more chaotic nature of the other as he would had noticed the other in the distance, agitated static and all.

"Oh and it's a pleasure to meet you Retsag."

"What use would he have for a missing man?"

He started to sit back down, still moping, still sulking.
