[Despite being relatively new to this form of communication, Mettaton finds himself easily starting a video, and his smile is both genuine and charismatic as he addresses the crew fully for the first time since he got here!]

Hello, beauties! Now that I've caught a free moment to myself, I thought I'd say hello to all of you at once and finally break in this old thing!

[He winks briefly. Everyone should consider themselves fortunate that he doesn't pose dramatically.]

My name is Mettaton, former shining robot star of the Underground! I's been nice meeting a few of you, and I hope that I can make very good friends with everyone else just as easily!

I would like to clarify my main position on the ship to everyone; I'm a Cybernetics Technician! Since that is not my forte, I humbly ask that if anyone has prior experience, would you be so kind as to share your knowledge? I assure you, I'm a quick learner!

[Being a bot has advantages.]

I think that's about all I wanted to say--oh, wait! Maybe I should let you know that I do not always keep to one form. I'm able to switch about freely, and while I prefer looking as fabulous as I am right now, that's not always possible. So if you see this--

[Here have a picture he drew of himself.]

--that's me too! It's more battery-friendly to be a beautiful box sometimes!

Okay, I think that covers everything! I'm sure I have something to do around here anyway~ Toodles, darlings!

I dig the crayon box silhouette.

Considering how many people here need prosthetics, once you got this training down I'm going to be using the hell out of you. We've been consulting with people in the science department and the armory. They could give you some advice. I'm good with cybernetics but I'm a trial-by-fire style of teacher.

[Though she's more than willing to drag someone along trial by fire style.]

[mttbrandlegs]

I wouldn't mind taking a few lessons from you darling, just to see if it helps. While literal trial by fire doesn't bother me, I'm better at emulating a professional! Not to say that you aren't, but the more exact it's done, the more likely I can internalize the process!

[He explains it without a hint of shyness. He's not the sort for shy. That's his cousin's thing.]

At any rate, I'll have to see about talking to the science department and armory workers. If I must provide a service, I would prefer that it was a good service!

[imaginary_wife]

Well, just let me know a good time and I'll fit you into my busy schedule of constantly spending time in Med Bay. I have a plan to keep spare prosthetic limbs for the people that have prosthetics on board. You can help me knock out a bunch of those.

Sound like a plan?

[mttbrandlegs]

[If there's sarcasm there, Mettaton puts no thought to it! He doesn't want to slack, that never looks good, and so if he can get some practical learning in, he'll take it.]

Certainly, I'd be happy to offer my services within reason! We'll keep in touch then, Miss...?

[imaginary_wife]

Mrs. Actually. [If widows count. Though she never brings up her dead wife much.] I'm Dr. Meh Yewll, but Doc Yewll works.

[mttbrandlegs]

My apologies, Doctor! Or Doc Yewll if you prefer, then! It's lovely to make your acquaintance~

[Talk about overenthusiastic. Mettaton has little to no filter though, the good Doc would learn that soon!]

When is the next, most convenient time to plan a lesson, or should I inquire a little later?

[imaginary_wife]

I'm glad all that bravado I was internalizing actually was being used by someone else. I was worried it was being wasted. [Mettaton you are a hell of a showman.]

Just come by the infirmary whenever. I'm there almost all the time.

[mttbrandlegs]

[Is that sarcasm? That's sarcasm. Look at this robot who is ignoring said sarcasm!]

Happy to siphon the good feelings you weren't using, darling! At any rate, I'll be around then. Better to sort out this mechanical nonsense as soon as I can.

[imaginary_wife]

[She's lucky so many people tolerate her sarcasm or she'd never be able to talk to anyone at all.]

I'll be around.
