[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!!!

[Oh hell. Mettaton's not following the rules?! But he wants Kyoko to be friends with him!!

Time to own up. After all, it wasn't as if he was trying to lie about it.]

I'M SORRY, I WASN'T TRYING TO HIDE ANYTHING. :(

I WAS HOLDING A MIND-ALTERING SUBSTANCE FOR A FRIEND, AND HE ASSURED ME THAT THE EFFECTS WOULD NOT BE DEBILITATING!! ONLY PLEASANT!! I HAVE NEVER DONE SOMETHING LIKE THIS - THERE ARE NOT MANY THINGS THAT AFFECT ME, SINCE I'M A ROBOT!!!

I WANTED TO TRY IT!

[He is absolutely not sorry, either. He needed this. Really...]

[M E T T A T O N . . .]

WHAT????

Didn't anybody ever tell you that drugs and alcohol and stuff like that are all bad!? You do stupid things that you'll regret in the morning, y'know! And doing stupid things is already normal for you! You can't afford to get any dumber!

Edited 2016-08-20 07:06 (UTC)

WELL WELL WELLY WELL WELL.

I GUESS I CAN'T ARGUE, I'VE DONE PLENTY OF STUPID THINGS LATELY, BUT HEY!! AT LEAST THIS TIME I'M HAVING FUN!! IF THAT BOTHERS YOU, I'M REALLY SORRY, SWEETIE!!! I'LL BE MORE THOUGHTFUL IN THE FUTURE!!!

[He actually means the apology...? And he's not taking offense to her calling him dumb...yet.]

BESIDES, I DON'T CONSIDER MESSAGING PEOPLE I CARE ABOUT AS STUPID! :(

Edited (html fail) 2016-08-20 16:47 (UTC)

As long as you don't do it again, I guess I can forgive you. Just this once, though.

It is. You're definitely going to say something you regret.

[Well he won't tell her if he does it again, that's for sure. Gosh, Kyoko. Stop harshing his high. He's only done this once.]

I WOULD PREFER TO KEEP A POSITIVE MINDSET!!! THEREFORE I WILL TRY VERY HARD NOT TO SAY SOMETHING WORTH REGRETTING!! :)

TO THAT END, THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN!! YOU'RE REALLY QUITE A GOOD PERSON!! VERY THOUGHTFUL!!!

I'm just tired of getting stuck dealing with your problems. I'm not a good person at all.

I've seriously hurt people, you know. Some of them have even died because of me.

WELL DON'T BE SO DOWN ON YOURSELF!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY PEOPLE I KILLED LAST MONTH??? IT IS NOT A PRETTY NUMBER!!!! SO IN THAT WAY, WE ARE SOMEWHAT ALIKE!

[His euphoria seems impenetrable, but actually, Mettaton's a bit nervous to be on that subject. Directly after he sent that, he regretted bringing it up. So much for that brain to mouth filter...]

ANYWAY DON'T WORRY ABOUT MY PROBLEMS!!! I CAN HANDLE THEM!!

[Yes. Hence the use of drugs, right?]

Heh. I guess we are. Is that really something you should be admitting to?

Well, don't come crying to me when something goes wrong!

[ugh now that she's said it he's definitely going to wind up doing it, isn't he??]

YES?! I WOULDN'T WANT TO HIDE IT, THAT WOULD BE DISHONEST!! I AM NOT PROUD OF IT THOUGH, IF THAT IS WHAT YOU'RE WONDERING.

IT'S ACTUALLY VERY UPSETTING WHY DID I BRING IT UP

SUBJECT CHANGE!!!!!

HOW'S THAT SPACE?

[Subtle. Will she even respond to that?]

I TOLD YOU YOU WERE GOING TO SAY SOMETHING THAT YOU'D REGRET!!!

IN MY DEFENSE

IT WASN'T SOMETHING EGREGIOUS!!

THE KILLING HAPPENED FOR GOOD REASONS, OR WAS SOMETHING I WAS FORCED INTO!! I WOULDN'T JUST KILL SOMEONE BECAUSE I FELT LIKE IT!! I'VE MADE THAT MISTAKE BEFORE--NO ONE DIED, BUT THEY COULD HAVE!!

I DON'T WANT TO EVER DO THAT AGAIN

I NEVER WANT TO KILL ANOTHER PERSON EITHER!!!!!!

IT'S JUST. WHAT I AM GOOD AT I GUESS?

[Man, couldn't even keep to his own subject changes. Yikes.]

Dunno. You seem pretty bad at it to me. Must've been a fluke before.

Besides, it's not like any of us were given a choice. "Kill or be killed," eh?

NOW HONEY. THAT'S JUST NOT TRUE.

WHEN YOU FOUND ME LAST, I WAS LIKE THAT BECAUSE I KILLED TENS OF THOSE AWFUL ALIENS!! I AM NOT BAD AT KILLING!

I JUST WISH I WAS. :(

ALSO??? THE WHOLE KILL OR BE KILLED EDICT IS BULLSHIT!!!

[MTT doesn't often curse like that. But uh. He's serious.]
