[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!

Never met a talking robot before.

[All the ones he has met have tried to kill him. ie Metal Gears.]

[mttbrandlegs]

Then I'm pleased to be your first!

[Mettaton wouldn't know the first thing about a Metal Gear even if he was told. So he's just happy to be the first in any positive situation!]

[cardboard_boss]

You're also not trying to kill me which is a first.

[A nice change actually.]

[mttbrandlegs]

Oh darling, I would never! I'm not that kind of robot!

[He ought to tell that to Frisk. They might just get a laugh.]

I'm far more interested in entertainment than murder!

[cardboard_boss]

Good. [Because he's dealt with enough shit from the last few weeks.]

Entertainment? Like what?

[mttbrandlegs]

Like television!! I'm a TV celebrity--though I suppose in the context of the Moira, I'm not. I'll work on re-elevating my status, of course! We'll call it a work in progress for now.

[His ego would allow nothing else.]

[cardboard_boss]

So, you're an actor of sorts? [Right? That's what Ahab believed this robot to be. Some sort of celebrity.]

Robot TV?

[mttbrandlegs]

Monster TV, actually! But yes, I'm well-versed in the thespian arts!

Do you mind terribly if I ask what sort of job you had as compared to the one you were given here?

[The eye patch...kinda reminds him of Alphys' boo Undyne. Is this guy a soldier?]

[cardboard_boss]

Monster TV? [Now, he'd heard everything.]

I'm a soldier. Hence the scars and the eye patch. [He knew now that the eye patch was mostly for aesthetic reasons; to make him look more like Big Boss.]

[mttbrandlegs]

I gathered as much! You have a very clear look about you!!

[It's not his business what this guy does to look like a badass. But it's working~]

[cardboard_boss]

Is it the eye patch and the scars? Most just assume I'm an old soldier.

[Which he is. A tough SOB.]

What acts do you perform on this Monster TV? Want to give me a demonstration?
