so the other side of that big wall is pretty messed up

[And Sans posts a link to a video taken from the top of the Gilded Wall. The landscape is a ruin of grey, dry soil and scattered, desiccated trees. There are no animals to be found, not even insects. Something in the distance glitches--round static, with a dark circle inside. As soon as Sans tries to focus the video on it, it vanishes. In that distance is a large, spiky black mass that can't be clearly seen.

Then the horde draws Sans's, and thus the video's, attention. Dozens of humanoid figures are rushing toward the wall. As they get closer and clearer, their appearances seem to be constantly shifting--humanoid, animal, entirely formless, full of static and cracks. In some of them, an eye forms in the darkness.

They seem to be actively avoiding making contact with the wall, but with the way they reach and claw upward, it's clear they are singlemindedly intent on murdering Sans.

There's a flash of something else shifting--brown hair, chin-length. The video cuts off immediately.]

They're called the Cursed. At least that's what Elder Marinero said they were called.

[ The video leaves her a little shaken, even though she had an idea already from her talk with the elderly bat. ]

If the glitches around the island are related to them, then I wonder if the wall is weakening.

Well, that's certainly something I haven't seen before.

Were you able to see anything else beyond this?

[This is bad. This is so, so bad. Looking at these things makes her nauseous with visceral fear.]

omg
ur ok right??? those things look rly scary (┬┬﹏┬┬)

THAT'S A BIG MESS.
ARE THEY ALL LIKE THAT?
SPOOKY, AND BLACK, AND GLITCHING AROUND?

uh hey what the whole fuck

ur outta there ok right??? you escaped the ZOMBIES???????

[What. The fuck.]

[Either whatever virtual environment they're stuck in - because Wash Still hasn't ruled out that possibility, not quite yet - is glitching out, or they're in a goddamn horror movie. Amorphous shapeshifting hordes bent on murder - there's a horror movie like this, right? There's got to be.]

[The flash at the end of the video catches his attention, and he watches the message again. Sans took this video, and he vaguely remembers Sans showing him a photograph that looked like a family photo: Sans, Papyrus, a few other monsters, and a human with brown hair...]

[But the memory is hazy at best, and that's beside the point. The point is, this is bad, and he...honestly doesn't know how to approach it yet. Not with the situation still so full of unknowns, and not with Sans still missing a good chunk of his memories.]

[So he takes the Sans approach, such as it is.]

Well, that was bone-chilling.

[ maya stares at the video and continues staring long after it's finished. ]

That's---

[ a beat. ]

T-That's really creepy....

.. I don't think you should go near that wall anymore.
