003. Action for Goldenrod City / Video
[ACTION FOR GOLDENROD CITY / SLIGHTLY BACKDATED TO 2/2]
[As usual, Mettaton is outside when the sun comes out in all its glory today; it's a little chilly for his liking, but the direct sunlight is going a long way toward taking the edge off and it's more brisk than anything. Either way, it looks like he's enjoying himself – and like he's made a new friend, maybe, seeing as he's sitting on a park bench with a Pokémon in his lap, round and pink and large-eyed and probably a pretty familiar species to people who have spent any time at all around the Goldenrod area.
It seems like he's doing something with her outside of just letting her sit there being cute as fuck, though; he's gesturing a bit in her general direction – surprisingly, it's nothing overly grand, just the sort of handsigns that are obviously supposed to mean something to the creature staring at them, and anyone with musical training will probably recognize solfege when they see it. It looks like they've done this before, too; granted, it takes the Jigglypuff a moment to remember what he's doing, but she picks it up quickly enough and before long there's a scale happening, followed by something else that's obviously supposed to have some sort of tune to it.
There aren't any words, obviously, given that this is still a Pokémon he's working with, and the melody is a reasonably simple one (la-do-do, la-ti-so-do, fa-la-la, so-la-ti-so) but the fact that she's got some grasp on it seems to be making Mettaton happy in a strange, smirking sort of way, and the Jigglypuff seems pretty content to be making him happy, and clearly, this is just going to be what they do with their lives today.]
[VIDEO / 2/3]
Good afternoon, beauties!
[The weather is decidedly nastier today than it was yesterday, though judging by the coat he's still got on and the fact that his hair is still a bit damp (acceptably fluffed-out, but still obviously having been wet previously) that didn't deter Mettaton from going out in it a short while ago. After all, sleet is new! Frozen bouncy precipitation! It's fun.
...Weather hasn't quite lost its novelty factor yet.
That said, though, he's back indoors for the video broadcast, and it doesn't seem that the aggressively pink...situation that is his bedroom has improved any. If anything, it's gotten slightly more surreal: that certainly is a lawnmower in the corner, because of goddamn course it is, and it's standing out a bit against all the sparkles and the soft things lying around.
But that is neither here nor there.]
Today's broadcast is going to be relatively short and sweet – but don't be deceived by its simplicity! Again, I'm asking for audience participation – because while I've got all of you gorgeous people watching, it would be almost a shame to not have a call-in show once in a while!
[...He's got a question, in other words.]
My question today is one of the heart – namely, those of our monster companions. Now, last I knew, human souls were some of the most powerful forces in the world, able to withstand...oh, all sorts of things. But the monsters here...! They can withstand even the most powerful magical attacks, and all they do is faint... The strength of their souls must be immense, able to overpower even the strongest of humans.
My question to you, darlings, is whether we know if they can be overpowered? Does anything kill them, in other words, or are they just going to live forever?
And for those playing along at home that are just dying to voice whatever threats and accusations just popped into your sassy little heads – bzzt! Wrong! I have no desire to hurt these things – if anything, I'm trying to make sure the opposite happens. So save it for another show, will you?
[...Buddy...]

Don't worry, darling, I know what you meant. And it...depends? Magic can harm them, but physically they can't be hurt - it comes with the whole not-having-a-body territory.
...They're like Rotoms. Just more so! Most of them want to have a physical body eventually, so they find one they like and eventually they fuse with it. And then they're corporeal and not ghosts anymore! It's very simple, really.

[That's...surprisingly patient-sounding, all things considered.]
no subject
So possession isn't a thing. Good to know. Man, your place sounds pretty interesting, I kind of wish we had the option to go visit other people's universes if they all connect here somehow anyway.
no subject
[...METTATON, NO.]
no subject
That'd be sick. I'm down. I'd get to see your movies and stuff, right?
no subject
...okay maybe papyrus is a terrible gauge because he's a perpetual optimist but listen
maybe he just won't murder you, we can go take souls from people we don't care about]
Of course, darling! It'd be doing you an injustice otherwise. Besides, I've always wanted to perform for humans, it'd be just as much my pleasure as it would be yours.
no subject
So the monster world and the human world are, like, aware of each other where you come from?
no subject
[...He says, cavalierly, like he's not discussing a fucklot of people dying.]
no subject
Though sometimes I guess lost humans are the ones that gotta stay hidden from the monster civilizations. Usually kids. Is it like that in monster world, too, kids are the protags of stories like all the fucking time?
no subject
Well, monster kids are often the protagonists of childrens' stories, anyway! But that's to be expected due to genre, isn't it? A lot of our other stories are like... Are you familiar with Die Hard? I've seen it here. We would definitely like Die Hard.
[Mettaton, literally everyone likes Die Hard.]
It's funny that you should bring up the lost human kids, though - we've actually had a few wander in from time to time! Most of them were before my time, but a few weren't.
no subject
no subject
I didn't get to meet all of them, unfortunately! There have only been...seven, so far? ...Eight. Eight, actually.
[...He may have assisted in capturing and ensuring the shit got murdered out of a couple of the previous ones, but no one needs to hear about that.]
I last saw the latest one mere moments before I was brought here - they were helping with a few of my shows before they moved on to see our king. The way out of our lands is through his castle, you see; leaving requires an audience with him.
They were a pleasure to work with, at least.
no subject
[DAVE WANTS TO GO ON TV...]
What kind of shows do you even do that you can do that, do you just record all of them straight through all day? I thought usually people worked on a few episodes of a thing at once.
no subject
Do they...?
[Hell if he has any idea, it's not like you can usually see the production on the things that fall through to the Underground.]
Well, my schedule can be as rigorous as I want it to be, really - there are other entertainers for when I want downtime, but I have a few other things that work in my favor.
For one thing, I don't have to sleep.
no subject
[...]
Okay, is it time to play Fling Wild Guesses into the Ether and Come Up with a Monster, or are you gonna tell me you're actually a vampire or a banshee or something? 'Cause I'm not opposed to Twenty Questions.
no subject
Darling, you're on the wrong track entirely if that's where you're starting! Everyone knows those things don't exist.
[Opposed or not, he's not going to make you wait too long, all right.]
You're talking to a robot, actually. Dr. Alphys' finest creation.
no subject
Do you fly.
