[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.))

[Fuck the network. He goes straight to Mettaton's door and knocks.]

it's me.

[didntknowbest]

...You are certain that you are alright, and free of his influence? Is there any threat of him possessing you again?

[Just being quick and right to the point.]

About time, Metta. I was starting to think perhaps I wasn't your favourite demon anymore!

[Well, golly. Chara knows quite a few things about appearing tidy at all times. It's not at all like a star like Mettaton to appear on-camera with his looks anything less than immaculately polished and put-together. It's definitely not at all like him to half-ass a performance, either.

Seems, perhaps, this ordeal has rattled him.

This... is probably more suited to Frisk than to a goblin like them. Frisk's better at being a good friend, the kind of friend people wish for, the person who solves problems instead of creating them. All Chara's good at is laughing things off. But... ha ha, they've never been good at patience. Never been good at inaction.]

You went through an awful lot to gain that body. I know I'd certainly be miffed if someone tried to hijack it. The imitators are getting more and more desperately jealous of you, are they not?

[mviw]

[Some time later, a while after Sans shows up, Ford comes banging on Mettaton's door, actions fueled by impulse and heightened paranoia. The only reason he can still function like this is because it's such an old, familiar game. At least these days he knows how to redirect that energy into something more than shutting himself off from the world.]

Mettaton! It's Stanford Pines! I need to talk to you immediately. ... Please.

[action] LET HER IN

[sciencelizard]

[As soon as she sees him on the network, knows he's back, she swings her door open and goes right around to his. This... this is it. This is when she has to take a stand. Something's wrong when Mettaton gets hurt and doesn't want to talk about it. Something's very wrong.

This is what best friends do. This is what heroes do. This is... what she has to do. For him.]

... M-Metta? Metta, I know you're in there.

Please.

[determinedest]

[Skip the pleasantries. Go right to his door. Can't help but wonder if he and his Mirror have been...conversing since all of this happened. Or maybe if he might've had something to do with it, with Bill's influence. How much interest does Bill have in Mirrors?

Would they work together?

A knock on the door, soft and timid, and an equally quiet query.]

Mettaton?

[voice] CW: drug use

[theothermrgray]

... O-oh... Thank goodness you're alright...

[Dorian sounds kind of out of it. Attempting to confront that dream demon simply reminded him of a horrible nightmare, and his old habits dictate that he take to the opium pipe to calm his nerves.]

[He was kind of gkad he hadn't fallen asleep before Mettaton reappeared on the network, all rosy eyed and demon free.]

[Surely audio would mask the effects of the opium... He just had to continue listening to Mettaton's synthesized voice.]

[naughty_nurse]

Mettaton! Wait, please, Metatton! Are you really okay?

[she will come over there, if she gets a clear enough picture of him for more than a few seconds, dangit.]
