hadriel | Video [backdated to yesterday]

[Mettaton’s been here for a little while, and definitely long overdue to talk to the city at large. But today he wouldn’t dare to avoid it, not at all. Because hey, when it comes to what is significant to someone else he cares about…it’s definitely important to make a big deal about it to everyone. So the city is thusly presented with his beautiful robot face, accompanied by a winning smile and a wink (Someone should mention that winking makes no sense when you have only one eye visible).]

Hello, darlings!! It’s been…apparently a very long time since I’ve spoken to any of you, or maybe if I’ve even seen you at all! My name is Mettaton, and I am the magnum opus of our resident monster scientist, Dr. Alphys! You most definitely must be familiar with her!

In fact, that’s what I wanted to talk to everyone about!

I have been made aware that Alphys has been here for two years, and I believe this endows us with a wonderful opportunity to let her know what a kind and beautiful person she is! That’s right, it’s time to share some love for her!!!

[Mettaton nods to himself assuringly, then starts to move with the feed still going. Now that the display is bobbing slightly and less focused on his face, the surroundings are becoming a little more discernable. He’s…in the lab, perhaps?

His next words are hushed, as if he’s trying to hide his presence. Maybe he’s just respecting the work environment of the lab since it’s not just Alphys here, there’s also others who make use of the space.

But this is Mettaton. It’s not that simple.]

Alphys has been working hard lately to help, so even if you don’t see her doing it, you should definitely appreciate her. Tell her how pretty she looks, tell her how smart she is!

[Mettaton stops by a door, moving close to it and cupping a hand round the ear closest. It’s all flair and dramatics, but the smile on his face is real; genuine at first, then a little more conniving.]

In fact…let’s tell her together!!

[Suddenly, the view is jarred and there’s a loud SLAM as Mettaton kicks open the door with absolutely no respect for public property to reveal Alphys, likely surprising her SOUL straight out of her body for at least 5 seconds.]

There she is!! My queen and yours!! Send her a lovely message, won’t you?? Toodles, sweethearts!!

[This might backfire. Maybe he's not right, and Alphys isn't all that popular but ayyy, it doesn't matter. She's the most popular to him. ❤]

[[OOC: Contained here are 2 probable responses Alphys could have had because apparently I'm a nerd. you kicked the door in whyyyy and damn cute.]]

Threaded | Flat

Has been working hard.

( But goddamn has it really been two years? Longer than that, for some, she supposes. But isn't two years more than enough? )

Ah... It's you...!

「Hell, it's been a long, long time! Atem had almost forgotten about him. It's not like he ignores his message, he likes Alphys a whole a lot to ignore it anyway, but it is not his main focus at the moment.

He... He never apologized for what he did to him then. Not that it was so much of a big deal either, it being nothing but a dream, but... 」

[Tyki has a sinking feeling that Mettaton and his brother would get on like a house on fire. Which makes him not want to respond, honestly. Flamboyant, over the top types tend to walk over him and make him nervous. They're so free, and wild and usually hiding horrible things under those friendly fronts...

At least Mettaton doesn't seem like a pervert, thank goodness.

He can't be worse than Cyril, if nothing else.

But he's still unsure]

She is lovely. (But is this the best way to show her appreciation? Poor Alphys! Sansa frowns, displeased.) Is she alright? You shouldn't be so rough around her.

Alphys has been very nice to me during my stay here. but then her tone takes a bend to alarmed] She's been here for two years?

[ Cashmere looks like she's trying to not feel annoyed - or more accurately, not to let people onto the fact that she feels a little annoyed. ]

No one ever makes announcements about how beautiful I am.

she fuckin tolerates your bullshit so she must have the patience of a goddamn saint

did you just kick her fuckin door down jesus christ

That's very sweet of you to do.

Ah! A man who knows how to treat a lady! Your message is an inspiration!

[Because, yes, all women should be praised and complimented and hailed with enough loving energy to bust down a fucking door. Ain't no door can contain that love.]

And what a dedicated lady, too! Deigning to work off hide and horn for the sake of everyone here and more! If I had an award, I'd present it to you with jewels that befit your shining loyalty!

As it is, I can only offer a full-course meal of your choice, cooked with love and appreciation for your magnificent work.

Ah, man- Where was my cool robot friend to announce my two year anniversary of being a Hadriel citizen?

[True to form, Alphys does shriek as soon as he busts in, slamming the box shut on one of the shards she was holding and smacking it down onto the desk with surprising speed. It takes her a moment to figure out what he's saying, or doing, or what his whole purpose is. Why did she ever let him have legs. She is paying for her own hubris.]

M-- Metta! Don't scare me like that, that's so much, ohhhmygod--

[Suddenly, her eyes go wide, darting between him and his phone.]

Wait. Were you broadcasting? T-To everyone?

[Maybe she'll pass out again after all.]

[ Curufin smiles. ] Alphys, I think you're lovely. And you're a genius, and you work so hard at what you do! Consider this my message of appreciation.

Mettaton, my name's Curufin, and I'm pleased to meet you. I think you scared poor Alphys a little, but I hope she'll forgive you on account of what you're doing is obviously done out of love.

[Her 'magnum opus'...]

If you are Dr. Alphys's creation, then you must know of the complex nature of her work and how it requires a high level of concentration.
