♥ Video!!! ♥

[mettatonvevo]

[Mettaton can be seen lounging on his king-sized bed when the video turns on, looking pleasant but also a tiny bit irritated.]

Hello there, Wonderland! It's been awhile since I've posted to the Network and for that I apologize! I know you all must have missed seeing my beautiful face. ♥

But! Moving on, I have two things to say:

1! To all of my friends who VICIOUSLY attacked me last event (you know who you are): thanks! I enjoyed it! Really!

[The sarcasm in his voice is practically dripping.]

2, in better news, I will be having a performance this upcoming Halloween night to help clear the air after that whole Neverland business! I'll be putting up flyers for it soon as I prepare. Naturally it will have candy and tricks and treats and all of the sorts of goodies you’d expect out of a Halloween performance and party!

Feel free to arrive in costume and dance the night away on the spookiest night of the year! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! I want to make sure you all know exactly what is up.
Ta ta for now, Wonderland~!

[With a flirtatious wink, Mettaton cuts off the feed.]

You got attacked?

[doorkey]

I'm glad you're still all in one piece!

I'll be there at your party! I really want to see you do your thing! Is Napstablook going to play ghost music too?

Video 3/3

[doorkey]

Oh gosh, I've gotta come up with a good costume! I guess being a witch would be silly, after we were just at a real magic school.

What are you going to be?

[mettatonvevo]

[Mettaton chuckles. There goes Coraline and her rapid fire questions again. What a sweet dear.]

Good, I'm glad to hear you'll be there! And oh yes, Napstablook will be joining me on stage to be the best disk jockey Wonderland has ever seen! As for what I will be, hmmm... I haven't quite decided yet! It depends on what spooky music we end up playing and performing.

Re: Video

[doorkey]

Great! Then I'll be able to see both of you at once!

I'll have to give my closet a good dig-through... and the hat trunk.

[And should she try to find some orange tulips to fling onto the stage? Definitely- and that means a trip to greenhouse is probably in order for the afternoon.

Well, congrats Mettaton, you've just made her afternoon so much busier!]

Anyway, guess I'd better go find something, then, and let you get back to putting the show together.

[Not a single text goes through. They hit backspace, quietly, over and over, deleting each one as soon as they've punched it out. They don't know what to say. If they should say anything, ha ha. They'd treated him like garbage, but it was almost a step up from the way things are now.]

[determinedest]

[They sit on their bed and watch the video again with their knees drawn up to their chin.

He looks happy enough without them.]

[determinedest]

[So nobody came.]

[fulllifeconsequences]

[Frisk can probably overhear this, honestly; the backdrop seems to suggest Chara is lying on the floor in room 12. You know, as they do.]

I'm bringing Frisk to your little shindig as my plus-one. I expect you to bring the cardboard cutout of yourself, so I have someone to talk to.

video

[mettatonvevo]

[Mettaton initially looks like he wants to protest, but hesitates. He gives Chara a long look, assessing and re-assessing. Then he smiles, and nods.]

If that's what you want to do, go right ahead. If they don't want to come though, you don't need to force them. I'll understand.

[He trusts you, Chara.]

Well! If you're going to be so lonely, of course I will bring it! I would hate for you to be bereft of my presence, even if I am on stage at the same time! Though, speaking of the stage, I was wondering if you were still serious about being a stage hand? Performance prep would go a lot faster if I had some help.

[fulllifeconsequences]

[Huh. He... actually agrees. He's okay with it. Out of frame, they clutch at the edge of their sleeve, and they don't even really know why - they don't think they're nervous at all. They... kind of can't wait, they think, to tell Frisk that they can come, that Mettaton still wants to see them supporting him from the audience.]

Good. I'm Cardboard Mettaton's biggest fan.

[So they play the feeling off with a completely unrelated joke, of course.]

In fact, I'm so devoted to Cardboard Mettaton, I suppose that I can shuffle my busy schedule juuuust enough to lend a hand with getting the show ready. Am I promoted to pyrotechnics yet, or will I be sticking to heavy lifting?

video

[mettatonvevo]

[Chara looks, for a moment, genuinely thrilled. He thinks they don't know that it showed on their face, subtle creases around their eyes and a small quirk to the lips, but it warms Mettaton's heart to see.]

Well! If you are so devoted to Cardboard Mettaton, perhaps I should give you one of your own so we can have a matching set!

[He chuckles at their question of pyrotechnics once again.]

Unless you suddenly develop usable fire magic between now and then, you're stuck with grunt work, I'm afraid.

[video]

[punful]

man, i hit you with a pinecone. don't whine.

[video]

[mettatonvevo]

A pinecone AND a stick, Sans. Don't forget the stick.

[The stick didn't even hurt him, really, but it's the principle of the matter!]

[video]

[punful]

i kinda miss that stick, even if it was completely useless. all told, i think i did more damage to our dignity than anything.

[video]

[mettatonvevo]

I'm sure if you missed it that much you could just walk outside and get yourself a new one.

[He's trying to continue looking mad but a smile is creeping its way in. It's becoming more and more obvious that he doesn't actually hold any resentment for his treatment.]

Yes, well, Wonderland seems to take great pleasure in putting us in situations to ruin our dignity and reputations.

[He doesn't want to think about how he hit on Sans during their time in Hogwarts.]

[A boquet of bluebells, ferns, peonies, geraniums and purple hyaciths are presented to the camera. After a few moments, Dorian pulls the flowers away to reveal he's wearing a magenta waistcoat with a silver ascot today.]

I am terribly sorry for all the trouble I caused you. Clearly, I was not in my right state of mind when I prodded you while you were trapped. In fact, I'm actually a little embarassed by my conduct during the event. I honestly have no odea why I would be acting so vicious...

[Video] 2/2

[theothermrgray]

...Do you want me to deliver this boquet to you at the party? I'm planning to attend.

[Video]

[mettatonvevo]

[Mettaton's eyes sparkle in delight at the bouquet, letting out a surprised and pleased gasp.]

That's beautiful, Dorian! Yes, give this to me during the party. I'm glad someone here in Wonderland knows how to properly apologize for their actions. I'm not truly upset, really. I know you weren't in your right mind at the time.

[Video]

[cuteshit]

[Kanji grimaces. He hadn't crossed paths with Mettaton during the event, but he had attacked someone who was important to him-- it's not something he's proud of. Neverland had brought out the worst in a lot of them.]

Think everyone could stand to kinda-- wash the taste of that event out of their mouths. Halloween thing is a good idea. What kinda stuff do you perform?

[Video]

[mettatonvevo]

[Oh! It's Kanji! They haven't spoken in awhile but Mettaton is pleased to see him all the same.]

Kanji! I'm glad to see you got out of that event in one piece.

[They didn't see each other, no, and that was probably for the best. He would have just ended up as the 7th kid to attack him during the event.]

Oh yes, a good palette cleanser is just what we need after that particular business. As for what I perform, rock, pop; if it sparkles, I've sung it! Though this performance will have more Halloween and horror-themed songs, so some of it might be outside of my usual repertoire.

[Video]

[cuteshit]

Y-yeah, me too. I mean, about you. [But really, Kanji's happy for himself, too.] Almost didn't. Got kinda hairy there for awhile.

[He exhales before quirking an eyebrow.]

Horror-themed, huh? I mean, guess it's seasonal and all. Long as it ain't too gory. Considering what we've all just been through-- seems like it might defeat the purpose of the whole, you know. Palette... cleansing. Thing.

Video

[naughty_nurse]

Are you okay?! I'm having trouble remembering what was really in Wonderland what were the made-up memories so I'm sorry if I attacked you!

Video

[mettatonvevo]

[He smiles gently. Oh Mikan.]

I'm all right now, and no sweetheart, you didn't attack me. I didn't see you at all during the event... I don't think, at least. I was all over the place during it.

[He had actually been at the spring but unfortunately (or fortunately?) he hadn't seen her there at all.]

Video

[naughty_nurse]

Thank goodness... It's g-good you were away from me. I was awful.
