[Mettaton's been a little scarce on the network the past few months. It's reasonable, he's had a bit of a hard time! Still, as outgoing as he is, it's hardly surprising to see him address the ship as a whole.

Yet.. When his voice comes through the MID, it's uncharacteristically relaxed, almost dreamy.]

Hellooooo, beauties~! Goodness, have I told you all lately how wonderful you all are? I have the distinct feeling that I have not!!

I mean--that's not my jooob or anything, that's my boyfriend's job!! Ooh!! Guess what, everyone?! I am dating the handsomest Morale Officer on the ship!! That is Papyrus, if you are unaware of his good looks and stellar personality!! I am so proud I finally got a chance to let everyone know that I'm with him!! It was, after all, very important!! Anyway though;

Back to the main subject!

You're all wonderful, and I would love, love, love to express that to everyone! Every single one of you! Even the certain someone...who I can't seem to avoid having mild arguments with!! Haha!

Does anyone want a hug? I would adore a hug right now!

[...There will be regrets later. But Mettaton can't actually be blamed at this point, even if he sounds as if he's had some sort of mild psychotic break given his mercurial behavior lately.

Nah. He's just had some Cybertronian drugs.

Speaking of questionable decisions, though...]

By the way!! Want to know a secret?

[Mettaton pans out his MID a little, showing that he is in fact partially on the floor, with his legs apparently splayed up onto his bed. Certainly it appears undignified, but at least he seems comfortable, in that teenage gossip girl way.]

If you saw a small pink ghost last month...do I have a surprise for you!! That. Was. ME!!! Ooooh!!! What a scandal, right?! But you know what?! Toriel was right!! It is my business who I tell--and no secrets between friends!!

[Wink~]

Toodles, sweeties!!!

[Any other time, Mettaton would note that Fi is actually emoting, and that it is weird for a sword to do.

Right now, he's not at all conscious of the fact, or if he is, he's too giddy to put two and two together to equal anything but fish at this point.]

Happiness is something I've been wishing for so dearly, and for so long!! This ship does a number on my optimism, you know!!!

I don't think I deserve to be so sad all the time!! Do you? You even seemed worried about me before, when I was a ghost! So...isn't this better?!

[...Those were honest questions. Does he deserve to be sad?]

Sadness and happiness are human emotions that I cannot properly comprehend, but if the Goddess Farore created creatures that are capable of feeling both then it is not my place to judge their merit.

[there's a long pause as she remembers Link and Zelda's response to parting...]

I would not wish for any acquaintance to experience sorrow. However, your current happiness carries a strange air about it, likely being the result of substance you have taken.

[though it's a little baffling to her why she's worried. He resembles Ghirahim and that causes her to go on edge... But the memory of the timid pink ghost suggests the similarities are only surface level]

The legitimacy of your euphoria aside... Congratulations one your new found confidence with regards to your original appearance and your new relationship.

[Mettaton is glad that Fi isn't really pushing him for being so intoxicated. At least, she's not doing it in a way that makes him regret what he's done. Deep down he knows his happiness is temporary, but...if it can last for even a short while, he'll take it.

He needs the distraction. Oh, and speaking of distractions...]

Oh, thank you very much!! I"m quite pleased with both myself!! Especially Papyrus, he's such a darling and he's put up with me so much!!! It really is the most I can ask for!

[...He decides to omit the fact that Toriel had "helped" him come to the decision that the secret of his origins wasn't worth hiding anymore. It still bothered him to talk about, but without inhibitions, it was simpler to do.]

[she didn't approve by any stretch of the imagination, but this sort of thing wasn't included with the duties she was assigned. Were it Link she was reprimanding, the lecture would continue, but Mettaton was an outside party and so she doesn't mention more than she already has. After all, the (former?) Poe's decisions were his to make for better or for worse]

Requesting clarification on the subject Morale Officer, Papyrus. There are many people aboard and it appears that I have been negligent in maintaining contact with a majority of the crew. Social interaction is a skill that I was not created with.

[she thinks Link has mentioned Papyrus as the Stalfos that had walked in on their training session that day. But Fi is only 20% sure of this assessment though--]

... Yet perhaps now is not the best time. Have your friends arrived? [because it feels like it would be best if someone were with him while he was like this] If so, I will not take up more of your time.

[Mettaton seems scandalized that Fi doesn't know about Papyrus. Seriously, he's the best thing since Mettaton himself!!]

Papyrus is absolutely the sweetest skeleton on the ship, and he's so good at his job!! I'm surprised you haven't seen him around, he's tall and energetic and loud and...ooh, I hope he texts me back soon!!

[There's a bit of a pout at that point, because he really does miss his precious boyfriend.]

Oh. Oh, right! None of my friends are here as of yet, but if you have something else to do, you don't have to babysit me!!! I'm an adult and all that!!! I'm sure a roommate will be around presently, they sort of...live here? Hahaha~

[That is not a joke. Don't laugh, Mettaton.]

[another Stalfos? ... Or perhaps they were the Stalfos that had walked in on Link's training a few months ago. The disposition sounded like a 87% match, after all]

Understood. The explanation has been very helpful.

[uncertain of the best course of action, it takes a couple of minutes before Fi responds. If she were anyone else, she might have sounded uncertain. But since this is just Fi, her delivery remains as melodious (if monotone) as ever]

Then shall I keep you company until another party arrives?

[it seems better to occupy Mettaton's attention with something harmless rather than let him find other distractions... Particularly during this rather peculiar time]
