[Well what do you know? A wild Mettaton appears!!

And he sounds particularly emphatic right off the bat; close to the camera, a manic look on his face. The only real question is...what he's so jazzed about given the stressful situation in the city.]

Well hello, darlings!! I hope that I have found you well today!

[Haha...funny. Funny joke, metal man.]

So I think I'll cut to the quick here--we could all use a pick me up, couldn't we!? Something active, something not drab and sad and most importantly, something to remind us that being happy and positive is the exact way to go about things!!!

No point in wallowing! Let's definitely NOT do that!!!

In keeping with such a statement, I propose that we have a contest! I was mostly thinking to myself about what I could do to contribute some good feelings to this city, and entertainment value is always a good thing, right?! And within recent memory, the last contest I held was a LEG CONTEST!! It's really simple, actually!

Contestants would be allowed 3 poses to best show off their beautiful legs, and whoever has the best legs as voted by the community will receive a surprise from me! Wow!!

[He winks, which of course always looks silly because he has only the one eye showing...and then he pretty much doubles down on enthusiasm, a shade under hysteric, as he wraps up his little address.]

So there it is!! If you're looking for a fabulous distraction, just get in contact with me! Publicly, privately, anything goes!! I look forward to the opportunity to host this within, oh...I don't know, a day or two!? The sooner the better, I say!!

Alright then, talk to you soon, sweeties!


[[OOC: This is just an exercise in Mettaton trying to repress the sadness. Is it working? Who knows.

If you are interested in participating in this potential contest, then feel free to check out the rules and how everything will work. I'll leave the network post up for 2 days before I put up any kind of log for the actual event. :3]]

[ You know what? Why the fuck not. She's actually a little manic herself, chasing a high she can't quite keep- ]

I got legs for days. I'm gonna' crush it.

[mttbrandlegs]

Fantastic!! I'm of course thrilled to have you. I've had a fair peek at those legs and I would agree that you have good chances!

[He smiles coyly]

But then there are my legs to consider as well!! So good luck~

[hasitsthorns]

I mean, considering I don't wear pants like 90% of the time around Alphys and I's place, I'm not surprised.

But you got some pretty killer legs too. It'll be close.

[mttbrandlegs]

Of course, of course!

I look forward to proceeding with the competition. It's been such a depressingly long time since I've done anything like this, and I think we could all use the pick-me-up at this point!

[hasitsthorns]

I feel you, dude. It's been pretty... dreary around here lately.

Like, the burst of delight was nice but felt kind of manic. Could use something to help me feel a little more actually happy, I guess.

[mttbrandlegs]

[Manic? Hahaha, Mettaton's still running off those fumes honestly.]

Truthfully, I'm tired of snow, I'm tired of everything going on, and this is long, long overdue.

I hope it does raise your spirits, honey. If it does, then I've already won in some way!

[hasitsthorns]

[ So are a lot of people. She doesn't quite yet realize the way she's chasing her own high, but- That's fine.

It always works out fine. ]

Snow's better than the desert planet or terrifying ocean planet of death, so. Don't mind that so much but I know it's rough on some residents.

Isn't it...improper...for a lady to show her legs? (If not, she has some long legs except they are scarred.)

[mttbrandlegs]

Goodness, no! Not in my contest!! We don't discriminate against a good pair, darling! By all means, let everyone see them!

[Look if she's responded, then that means she's considering participating.

That's as good as signing up in Mettaton's eyes.]

[stonebird]

I...will consider it. (This is a scary proposition for a noble lady! But she has seen so many women in revealing clothes and maybe she shouldn't be so...proper?)

[mttbrandlegs]

By all means, take your time. I wouldn't want you to make an uncomfortable decision!

[Really though. It's absolutely up to her if she's up to showing off her legs. Mettaton, while unashamed to show his, isn't about to make anyone else participate. Maybe before, but definitely not at this point in his life.]

If you wouldn't mind, I'd love to know your name in case you do decide on competing!

[pocketspa]

Okay, so like, does it have to be bare legs or do we get points for decoration?

[He's thinking of a nice pair of boots to go in here... and absolutely intending to cheat with magic, oops.]

wooow he goin hard

[mttbrandlegs]

[Cheaters never prosper!

..Unless you do it right. ;)]

Anything goes, beautiful! Dress them up or let them breathe, the only thing you need to do is show them off and enjoy yourself!

damn rite

[pocketspa]

[Unless you're Taako Taaco, got it.]

Oh, hell yeah. Trust me my guy, you're gonna be blown away.

[He has enough illusion spells to pull this off in spades. Part of him is tempted to just play it straight and trust his looks, but also, everything worth doing is worth over-doing.]

Who else is in on this, or do we not get to know 'till day of?

[mttbrandlegs]

Looking forward to it!

[Wink. <3]

As of right now, only a handful have expressed interest, and I'm not sure if I should keep it a secret or not. Hmm! The last time I ran this kind of a thing, it was all done rather quickly and so it really didn't matter!

I intend to do the same again, naturally, so let's keep it on the down low, shall we?

In the meantime, I'll pencil you in!

[Because there is absolutely no way he doesn't know who the hell Taako is. He ain't even going to ask the dude's name because as quiet as Mettaton is on the network and the city at large since HEY HO, he has a fierce case of the Shut The Fuck Ups...Taako is loud and obvious and also spelled his name out when offering to teach magic.]

[pocketspa]

Oh, so there was a before? Then I'd say you'll be looking for something bigger and better this time.

[He's thinking of so many plans. So many of them.]

Don't worry my dude, i am as impressive as it comes in uhh, pretty much any category. I've got you covered.

[mttbrandlegs]

Indeed, although before there was a beach involved, rather than...what we have here.

[Said with no small amount of disgust, honestly. Fuck this weather.]

I'm sure with your inclusion, that it will be that much bigger and better by default, of course!

[pocketspa]

Ugh, I wish there was a beach.

[There not being a beach here is basically homophobia. Or well, not here exactly, because if it was here it'd be frozen and would STILL not be any fucking fun.]

At least I can spice up any boring tundra.

[64th]

Well, I have the best legs so it's hardly a contest.

[mttbrandlegs]

Bring it to the field then, beautiful! Let's see those legs in action!! I'd love to see how they measure up to mine!

[Mettaton might have many hesitations about himself since his Space Adventure (tm), but legs? Psh. His are the true gift to Hadriel.]
