[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!!!

[It actually takes him a long time to respond to this. This robot clearly isn't Cybertronian, and the psychiatrist doesn't know Mettaton to know if this is strange behavior or not, but he does have millions of years of experience in noting details about behaviors.]

[And these behaviors just scream..."high".]

[He doesn't want to start this off wrong, and having never met this person before is all the more reason to take a little time before actually replying. When he does finally turn on his feed he's got a small smile on his face.]

My, you seem the friendly sort.

[Hey, best way to find out how someone is really doing mentally, is to get them talking.]

aw thanks!
i stuck the last bit i had in my captain tho
so i dont have any more sorry :(
your going to have to make what you have last

[There are so many things wrong with his text that Kyoko doesn't even know where to start.]

We were never talking to start with!

[Though there's no denying that she's made more of an active effort to avoid him since his death. How could she approach him after that? No matter how many times she thought about it, had seem around, she could never seem to find the right time, the right words.

Certainly, none of this is right. It's frustrating. She wants to smack him for his texts as much as the mockery it makes of her efforts. Another text comes, shortly after the first, just to make sure this stays text:]

I don't hug, and I'm allergic to friendship. It leads to side effects, like me punching people. The last person who tried it got their nose broken.

[...This is officially the strangest text he's ever gotten. Mettaton what's the deal.]

i guess that's okay.

don't pull on them though please

You seem
friendlier
than usual.

You are really a ghost.

[Incoming video message from another robot, here. This one isn't nearly as fashionable as MTT nor as formidable as the Cybertronians, but he's definitely a robot and the expression on his TV screen face looks confused.]

A ghost? But aren't you...a robot?

Considering that mix of personalities, I'm surprised you both haven't exploded all over the ship sooner. It's like a nuclear reaction of stage drama.

Are you feeling alright by the way. Seems like you're giddier than usual, but I'm too bland to judge.

[can she sound confused? Does she even really know how? Her delivery is flat, but it does take her a few seconds to collect her thoughts]

Status as the previous pink Poe has been noted.

[this is a good opening statement, yes?]

There is something different about you. [not appearance-wise, because that sort of thing was normal to Fi but...] Are you certain you are feeling at 100%?

[Ginko hasn't actually seen Mettaton's public network post - not that it would explain much if he had. But maybe this would be less... out of the blue if he had.]

oh

its fine

i gess it was kind of funny to yeah

Hello... ah, pardon my asking but are you another Cybertronian?
