♥ ♥ ♥ Video ♥ ♥ ♥
[When the feed clicks on, Mettaton is at the camera, perfectly poised and smiling wide.]
Hello, Wonderland! Sorry for that little hiccup earlier!
[He fluffs his hair a bit, which definitely looks disheveled; an unusual deviation from his usual picture perfect looks.]
I had a small incident with Wonderland's local dream demon BUT! There's no need to fear, darlings, because your strong, amazing hero Mettaton repelled the evil doer! Wonderland is safe and so are the rest of you!
[He smiles, though it falters for just a brief second before he continues.]
Now, let's put this silly incident behind us, shall we? There's no need to worry about any of these shenanigans or torment yourself with worry over me (unless you want to, of course! ♥). I'm sure you'll see my shining face on the network sometime in the future again (minus any and all unauthorized uses of my brand) so I shall let you all return to your daily lives. Bye, darlings~!
[He pauses for a moment, blinks, and then hurriedly gives a cutesy wave and wink to the camera, though it's clear his heart isn't in it. The feed ends there.]
((ooc: Mettaton may respond to network responses but it will probably be sporadic due to the fact that he's feeling really rough right now. For anyone wanting to personally come and check on him, the door will have many latches and locks and Mettaton will not be opening his door for anyone other than close CR, if that. But he's fine. Absolutely fine! Totally.))

They don't... they still don't quite know how to make it clear when they want to smile instead of just - you know, just smiling. How to make their smile not creepy, not wrong, not mean bad things instead of good things. They know how to recognize vulnerability, but not how to reward trust, how to be reassuring and sincere and all the things a real Dreemurr is.
But they smile, and hope that says what they want to say. Hold out a hand, not with expectation or demand, but simply as an invitation. Something that can be taken or declined as he wishes. Something softer and warmer than an unyielding doorframe, something that can offer the gentle pressure that says "see? We're here." Something that can be his choice, something he gets to take or decline.]
I... I want to help. I want you to have that, too.
[What... what would Frisk say, if they were the one in control right now? What would a good friend tell somebody in need? They don't know. They don't know what words you're meant to use for this - for this... for understanding what a risk it is to be vulnerable. For knowing what it's like to crave, so wildly, the feelings of "not alone," of "accepted as I am," of "allowed to be myself," but also knowing those are indulgences that aren't meant for people like you.
They're going a little red, fumbling over their words, not being practiced and eloquent and detached at all. It's all to obvious that this isn't - this was always the role good people like Frisk were meant to play. It was Frisk in control in the timelines where people were happier. They don't know anything about making people happy, about trying to translate this ache of - it can't be sympathy, it can't be compassion, it can't be care, they've never had any of those - this ache of... wanting Mettaton to be okay. To - to not just be okay, to flourish.
To not... to not suffer this anymore.]
I know... this may not have been the easier answer, but I want to reward the risk you - I want to reward your trust. Thank you for letting me in.

He restrains himself.
I want to help they say and the words fall across his ears like a balm. They want to be here. They want to help. They want him to be solid and whole and...
He can tell how big this is for them. They're red-faced and their words are uncertain and it's such a huge step. They speak of rewarding his trust while simultaneously believing in this beautiful trust they have cultivated in him. It feels like his soul is too big for his body with how many emotions swell up in him.]
...Letting you in has been one of the best decisions I have ever made, Chara.
[It takes a moment of counting, a moment of "this is here, this is mine" in his head but he lifts a hand off the door frame and (gently, softly, he doesn't want to hurt, doesn't want to take too much from someone who has lost so much) wraps it around theirs.
The door is wide open and he makes room for them to come in, much like the room he has made for them in his heart.]
