Character history: Once upon a time in Waterfall, there was a ghost named Happstablook. We’re not quite sure if their name was Happstablook, thanks to Toby Fox not really confirming anything about them. But, like, 99% sure it was Happstablook. This ghost was sad because they wanted to be corporeal but there was nothing available that they liked. What they truly wanted was a body that no one seemed able to give. They lived next door to their cousin Napstablook and worked with them on their family’s snail farm where they became friends with the local monsters in the area, like Shyren, an Angler Fish monster. When Shyren’s older sister died, they promised that one day they, Napstablook (or Blookie, as they referred to them as) and Shyren would all perform together. When one of their fellow ghost cousins ran off to find themselves a physical body, Happstablook made a promise to Napstablook that they would never leave them behind, mentioning how it wouldn’t matter anyway, since (as previously stated) there would never be a body that they were satisfied with. Enterrrrrrrrrrrrr ALPHYS!
Alphys and Hapstablook became friends thanks to Hapstablook being a Human Weeaboo™ and starting a Human Fan Club which, if monsters weren’t so ding dang nice overall, probably would have gotten the shit kicked out of them for having it. Like, if a human had started a Monster Fan Club back when liking Monsters was uncool, they would have been beaten to a pulp. Like????? Hapsta. Sweetheart. This is why only Alphys showed up, and that’s because she’s what you call “weird”.
ANYWAY they became very good friends and eventually Happstablook confided in Alphys their desires for a corporeal form and Alphys, being the sweet dinosaur she is, built them a robotic body with the promise of working on a new one that would be closer to what Happsta always dreamed of having. This arrangement helped both of them: Happstablook could have the body he always wanted, and Alphys could get access to better lab equipment and get closer to King Asgore, who she was major crushing on. Happsta, who had always dreamed of being a star but felt that this could not be accomplished as a ghost, was absolutely thrilled and (breaking his promise to Blookie into a MILLION pieces) took the initial robotic form Alphys made and began working on their rise to celebrity status very quickly. Their ambition pushed them to bury everything about their previous life, their relatives and friends, in an effort to fully become the celebrity they always wanted to be, changing their name from Happstablook to Mettaton, as well as their pronouns from they/them to he/him. (Though that was less a HIDE WHO YOU ARE moment and more of an EYYYY I CAN FINALLY USE THE PRONOUNS I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO USE moment.)
As time passed, Alphys and Mettaton’s relationship became strained. He was more concerned with increasing his popularity and ratings and only visited Alphys to ask her when she would be done making his new robotic body. It’s easy to say that the fame got to him, as his only true concern was upping his ratings. Once he built his empire in the Underground, he began to dream of the ratings he could be getting if he were a celebrity on the surface for humanity. His love for humanity continued well into his works and performances, evidenced by his desire to have his hotel run by “human standards.” (That’s in quotations because while Mettaton definitely wanted things more human, that didn’t mean they actually…were. ((Who puts INEDIBLE GLITTER on a BURGER???))
Enter Frisk. Frisk, being the most recent human to have fallen into the Underground and the last soul needed to take down the barrier and release the Monsters onto the surface, was in fact a danger to humanity in Mettaton’s eyes. Asgore’s declaration of war on humanity after the death of his two children was taken seriously by everyone in the Underground, so Frisk being the final piece to this war’s continuation was a serious dilemma for Mettaton. If humanity was destroyed, who would watch and adore him when he got to the surface? So when Alphys suggested a plan to keep the human from being killed thus stopping Asgore from killing the rest of humanity, he agreed to help. (It also helped that, despite their friendship having deteriorated, he was still grateful for the body she made, and so helped her with this plan as a favor.)
This plan consisted of Mettaton playing the part of a “Killer Robot” that got out of control so Alphys could feel like a hero in Frisk’s story and convince them to stay in the Underground and not seek out Asgore. And he played his part well, except for a lack of motivation to stay in character here and there. Plus getting bored with the whole thing and changing it completely. …okay so maybe he was a little bad at it. Regardless, after the Quiz Show, Cooking Show, MTT News and UNDERTALE the Musical (coming to Broadway in 21111111111111), Mettaton decided that Alphys plan wasn’t going to work. So when Frisk entered the CORE, the area right before meeting Asgore, he hired a bunch of mercenaries to murder Frisk before they got to the king, as well as changing the set up of the CORE so Alphys could no longer direct Frisk on where to go, increasing their chance of meeting a fatal end. (Clearly, this was the plan of a measured, thoughtful individual.)
When this didn’t work, Mettaton met up with Frisk as promised in the plan, but cut off Alphys’s access to the battle, therefore getting a real fight out of the kid. Here he laid it all out: the plot, how he only pretended to hate humanity, that Alphys had been lying the whole time, and how he now planned to take Frisk’s soul and use it to defeat Asgore and cross the barrier so that he could stop the war and become a superstar to the humans on the surface.
Frisk, listening to Alphys and being a resourceful little one, tricked Mettaton into turning around, revealing a switch on his back that they promptly flipped. This then turned Mettaton into the form that he specifically asked Alphys to make, called Mettaton EX. This form, being unfinished, made him vulnerable, and thus they fought.
Eventually (after losing his arms and legs) Mettaton stopped the battle, after realizing that fighting Frisk was giving him the best ratings he had ever had. He decided to take calls from his loyal viewers on what he dubbed was his last show. His fans’ heart felt confessions and pleas for him to stay moved Mettaton deeply, and he told Frisk that he believed that they were strong enough to protect humanity, and that he would stay in the Underground since the Monsters needed him a lot more than the humans do.
After this decision, Mettaton shut down, unable to keep himself on now that his power had been run out. At this point Alphys was able to enter the room and bring him back to her lab for repairs. What Mettaton did after this point was a little sketchy—He showed up before the final battle between Frisk and Asriel to insist that Alphys and Undyne kiss (“since everyone has been waiting for it” in his words) but after that presumably he ran off and was then absorbed into Asriel when said God of Hyperdeath absorbed all the souls of the Monsters in the Underground.
After Frisk’s victory over Asriel, Mettaton returned to Waterfall where Napstablook and his old house were and immediately recruited him and Shyren as his sound mixer and backup singer, respectively, for his band up on the surface. Now that the monsters were free he planned on rebuilding his media empire and was excited to finally get the ratings and views he always wanted. This plan was a success, with Mettaton, Shyren and Napstablook all performing live on stage (with one of his other employees, Burgerpants, as a background bush) with Mettaton employing different aspects of both his box form and his EX body for entertainment purposes. And the rest was history! A happy history where his dreams came true.
Abilities/Special Powers: For one thing, an unavoidable laser, plus some magically enhanced kicks (that’s the best way I can describe his legs extending across the action box, honestly.) He also has the ability to send out mini box Mettatons with umbrellas that can overwhelm an opponent when they throw hearts embroidered with an M. He can also create bombs out of his ass I guess, since he throws them everywhere in various different forms at the protagonist. In general he is able to extend his limbs REALLY FAR to block, wrap, and/or harm an enemy. The heart on his Mettaton EX form has the ability to detach and shoot either an all encompassing barrage of lightning shaped bullets or those same bullets in a straight line. He also has the ability to summon a disco ball that sends out either blue or orange lasers, hurting you depending on whether you’re moving or standing still, respectively. He also has some good old fashioned squares that he can throw at you in a line that can only be destroyed by a bomb. In terms of just abilities, he is also a self-taught dancer.
He has another form called Mettaton NEO specifically designed for fighting that is shown during the No Mercy run of Undertale, but due to the script of the game, he actually doesn’t do anything and is automatically KO’d with one hit so any true fighting abilities he may have with that form are not really featured in the game.
If you have any questions regarding my descriptions since they might be woefully inaccurate, please see Mettaton In Battle for further clarification.
Third-person prose sample:
The human meant well, clearly. Looking at the poor…man? He had short hair and Mettaton was pretty sure that was one of the indicators of a male-presenting human. But looking at the man, he seemed to be genuinely interested in him instead of leering awkwardly at him like so many others had before. And it wasn’t like he was ugly. Auburn hair with green eyes, dark skin and a button nose, the human was all around pleasing to look at. But honestly, asking him for his number while he had just been trying to buy a damn coffee was kind of annoying.
“Sweetheart…,” he began, putting a tart emphasis on the ending T, “do you know who I am?”
The human stuttered. “U-uh. No. S-should I?”
Mettaton pursed his lips. He decided to be kind. “No. It’s quite all right. I was just teasing. Now, my coffee…?”
“Oh! Yes, of course!” The barista took the cup from behind the counter and handed it to the robot, who took it happily. “But, um….you uh. Didn’t answer my question. Can I have your number?”
Mettaton, who had just reached into his coat pockets and pulled out his smartphone, hummed noncommittally as he thought of how to respond to the repeated offending question, his thumb tapping a few words in response to a text. His eyes widened a little as he looked down and felt his wicked grin shift his metal plating as it stretched across his face. He looked up, locking eyes with the human and holding his gaze steady.
“Oh, I’m terribly sorry, darling,” he said sweetly, “but I don’t have a cellphone.”
He finished his text, pocketed the phone, took a sip of the coffee and winked at the barista. Then he turned around and walked out of the shop without glancing back once.
First-person sample:
[Lights!
He flicks on the stage lights he had gotten from his mirror, reaching over to position a nearby lamp so that it throws his face into flattering relief.
Camera!
Fully charged and ready to go.
Aaaaaand ACTION!
Turning the camera on and grinning broadly, Mettaton sweeps his hair carelessly to the side, allowing it to land lightly back on his face in quite an attractive manner.]
Helllloooo beauties and gentlebeauties of Wonderland~! This is Mettaton, star celebrity of the Underground and the surface! It’s come to my attention that this place is woefully lacking in entertainment and I, the resident star, am here to correct that!
[At his words, the camera zooms out to show him posing dramatically on a couch, his legs propped up and crossed and his head held up by one of his arms. He is smirking.]
Don’t fret if you don’t know who I am yet- you will! Your tender hearts will soon be soothed and invigorated by my programs! I have some lovely things in store for you all. Stay tuned, darlings~!
[He blows a kiss to the camera and winks. The screen goes black and then displays the letters MTT in bright, sparkling hot pink letters. Then the feed cuts.]

He also has the ability to summon a disco ball that sends out either blue or orange lasers, hurting you depending on whether you’re moving or standing still, respectively. He also has some good old fashioned squares that he can throw at you in a line that can only be destroyed by a bomb. In terms of just abilities, he is also a self-taught dancer.
He has another form called Mettaton NEO specifically designed for fighting that is shown during the No Mercy run of Undertale, but due to the script of the game, he actually doesn’t do anything and is automatically KO’d with one hit so any true fighting abilities he may have with that form are not really featured in the game.
If you have any questions regarding my descriptions since they might be woefully inaccurate, please see for further clarification.
3RD PERSON SAMPLE
The few precious minutes right before a big concert always struck Mettaton as a truly magical time. It was those perfect moments where the stars were aligned- his hair? Flawless. His makeup? Impeccable. His outfit? Stunning. There was a buzz in the air, potential that shimmered just at the edge of touch. Each second felt like a lifetime, his soul beating wildly in his container, glowing brightly. He doesn’t think he’ll ever feel as alive as he does right here, on the edge of performance, just restraining himself from peeking out at the audience to see his adoring fans.
This concert, more than any other, was important. It was his first real concert on the Surface, the first time that he’d finally fulfill his dream of performing for humans!!! Real humans!!! Real, living, breathing, humans!!! Monsterkind was now free. Free in all the beautiful and terrifying ways that freedom can be.
And of course Mettaton took off like a rocket to make sure that the entire Surface would know his name. And the names of the other people he was performing with but honestly they weren’t as important as him being known because as long as they were with him, they’d be taken care of. Besides, he really has a face and body that could be sold to the Surface and he so graciously is sharing it with the rest of his bandmates.
Speaking of, he looks back to where they linger deeper in the shadows of the curtains. Shyren’s light casts an eerie glow over her face, throwing her nervous features into sharp relief. Blooky, right next to her, looks like they’re about ready to dissipate into the air in fright. The Other One (Burgerpants) looked as annoying as he always, but this time with an added flavor of the plywood bush covering up his face so he was a bit more tolerable than usual. This was not the crew he thought he would be going out on stage with (he was expecting Beyonce or Nicki Minaj, or maybe Florence from Florence and the Machine) but they were pretty good if he did say so himself.
What wasn’t good was how… separate they all looked. Standing off to the sides, looking bored and/or terrified. Mettaton huffed a bit and swiftly turned on his heel to face his people.
“Well don’t you three look like a jolly band of nervous wrecks.” He raised an eyebrow as all three of the monsters jump at his sudden attention.
“Listen. I know you all are nervous about this concert. This is the biggest thing we’ll have ever done! And… the first thing we’ll have ever done all together. But! I know we all can do this. I wouldn’t have you here if I didn’t believe in your abilities in some way, shape, or form.”
He looks to Shyren first. “Shyren, your voice is so soothing and lovely- every human and monster out there is going to be enthralled with what you do."
Then the robot turns his attention to Napstablook. “And Blooky, your spooktunes will send a chill down all of their spines! You’ve got nothing to worry about!”
Napstablooks “face” gets a pale pink glow and they look away. “t-thanks…. mettaton…..”
There’s a moment of expectant silence as Mettaton grins at the two monsters he spoke with. Then there’s a loud cough to the left of the two and the other three turn to look at the monster currently dressed like a bush who gives a harried smile.
“Oh. Right. You’re, uh.”
Mettaton shakes his head. “You’re certainly there, Burgershorts.”
“Burgerpants.”
“Whatever. Regardless they’re going to love us!”
He spreads his arms wide, his grin infectious, and the other monsters after a moment of awkward silence begin to smile too. When they smile Mettaton’s smile grows larger, beaming as he reaches out and pulls them (all of them, which came as a surprise to Burgerpants) into a tight hug.
“Come on. Let’s show them how talented and amazing Monsters can be!”

1ST PERSON SAMPLE
[If there is one thing Wonderland should have gotten used to by now, it’s that Mettaton is a diva who loves to surprise. Therefore when the camera pops on, Wonderland is greeted with the beautiful face of the robot… and the pumpkin that is currently on his head. That has his face carved into it. It’s a startlingly good replica of his face but begs the question of why he put the pumpkin on in the first place if he was going to “show” it anyway…]
Hellooooooo~ Wonderland! Did you miss me? It’s once again been terribly long since I have posted here and for that I do apologize! To make up for my tearful absence, I want to propose an idea! Yes yes, I know what you’re thinking-
But Mettaton! The last idea you put forth you didn’t follow through! How can we ever trust you again?
[The robot puts a hand on his chest, tilting his head to the side as if completely heartbroken. The carved pumpkin face, however, does not change its orange smile.]
I know, darlings, I know, it’s terribly tragic the things I have gone through while here in Wonderland as of late, but never fear! It seems that the winds of fortune are changing and that I will be more present with you all once again!
Now! Onto the good stuff!
My next proposal for this glorious month of spooks and scares is- a haunted house! Wonderland not turning itself into its OWN haunted house nonwithstanding, I think a simple haunted house that’s run by fellow residents who we are 99.9% sure aren’t trying to kill us would be a great way to blow off steam! What do you all say?
I’ll be taking volunteers for this little project up to October 17th so that we’ll have plenty of time to get things ready once we’ve confirmed everyone who is pitching in! I look forward from hearing from you, darlings~!
[Mettaton then makes a heart with his hands and then cuts the feed.]

Canon resource link: Mettaton Undertale Wiki Link
Character history: Once upon a time in Waterfall, there was a ghost named Happstablook. We’re not quite sure if their name was Happstablook, thanks to Toby Fox not really confirming anything about them. But, like, 99% sure it was Happstablook. This ghost was sad because they wanted to be corporeal but there was nothing available that they liked. What they truly wanted was a body that no one seemed able to give. They lived next door to their cousin Napstablook and worked with them on their family’s snail farm where they became friends with the local monsters in the area, like Shyren, an Angler Fish monster. When Shyren’s older sister died, they promised that one day they, Napstablook (or Blookie, as they referred to them as) and Shyren would all perform together. When one of their fellow ghost cousins ran off to find themselves a physical body, Happstablook made a promise to Napstablook that they would never leave them behind, mentioning how it wouldn’t matter anyway, since (as previously stated) there would never be a body that they were satisfied with. Enterrrrrrrrrrrrr ALPHYS!
Alphys and Hapstablook became friends thanks to Hapstablook being a Human Weeaboo™ and starting a Human Fan Club which, if monsters weren’t so ding dang nice overall, probably would have gotten the shit kicked out of them for having it. Like, if a human had started a Monster Fan Club back when liking Monsters was uncool, they would have been beaten to a pulp. Like????? Hapsta. Sweetheart. This is why only Alphys showed up, and that’s because she’s what you call “weird”.
ANYWAY they became very good friends and eventually Happstablook confided in Alphys their desires for a corporeal form and Alphys, being the sweet dinosaur she is, built them a robotic body with the promise of working on a new one that would be closer to what Happsta always dreamed of having. This arrangement helped both of them: Happstablook could have the body he always wanted, and Alphys could get access to better lab equipment and get closer to King Asgore, who she was major crushing on. Happsta, who had always dreamed of being a star but felt that this could not be accomplished as a ghost, was absolutely thrilled and (breaking his promise to Blookie into a MILLION pieces) took the initial robotic form Alphys made and began working on their rise to celebrity status very quickly. Their ambition pushed them to bury everything about their previous life, their relatives and friends, in an effort to fully become the celebrity they always wanted to be, changing their name from Happstablook to Mettaton, as well as their pronouns from they/them to he/him. (Though that was less a HIDE WHO YOU ARE moment and more of an EYYYY I CAN FINALLY USE THE PRONOUNS I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO USE moment.)
As time passed, Alphys and Mettaton’s relationship became strained. He was more concerned with increasing his popularity and ratings and only visited Alphys to ask her when she would be done making his new robotic body. It’s easy to say that the fame got to him, as his only true concern was upping his ratings. Once he built his empire in the Underground, he began to dream of the ratings he could be getting if he were a celebrity on the surface for humanity. His love for humanity continued well into his works and performances, evidenced by his desire to have his hotel run by “human standards.” (That’s in quotations because while Mettaton definitely wanted things more human, that didn’t mean they actually…were. ((Who puts INEDIBLE GLITTER on a BURGER???))
Enter Frisk. Frisk, being the most recent human to have fallen into the Underground and the last soul needed to take down the barrier and release the Monsters onto the surface, was in fact a danger to humanity in Mettaton’s eyes. Asgore’s declaration of war on humanity after the death of his two children was taken seriously by everyone in the Underground, so Frisk being the final piece to this war’s continuation was a serious dilemma for Mettaton. If humanity was destroyed, who would watch and adore him when he got to the surface? So when Alphys suggested a plan to keep the human from being killed thus stopping Asgore from killing the rest of humanity, he agreed to help. (It also helped that, despite their friendship having deteriorated, he was still grateful for the body she made, and so helped her with this plan as a favor.)
This plan consisted of Mettaton playing the part of a “Killer Robot” that got out of control so Alphys could feel like a hero in Frisk’s story and convince them to stay in the Underground and not seek out Asgore. And he played his part well, except for a lack of motivation to stay in character here and there. Plus getting bored with the whole thing and changing it completely. …okay so maybe he was a little bad at it. Regardless, after the Quiz Show, Cooking Show, MTT News and UNDERTALE the Musical (coming to Broadway in 21111111111111), Mettaton decided that Alphys plan wasn’t going to work. So when Frisk entered the CORE, the area right before meeting Asgore, he hired a bunch of mercenaries to murder Frisk before they got to the king, as well as changing the set up of the CORE so Alphys could no longer direct Frisk on where to go, increasing their chance of meeting a fatal end. (Clearly, this was the plan of a measured, thoughtful individual.)
When this didn’t work, Mettaton met up with Frisk as promised in the plan, but cut off Alphys’s access to the battle, therefore getting a real fight out of the kid. Here he laid it all out: the plot, how he only pretended to hate humanity, that Alphys had been lying the whole time, and how he now planned to take Frisk’s soul and use it to defeat Asgore and cross the barrier so that he could stop the war and become a superstar to the humans on the surface.
Frisk, listening to Alphys and being a resourceful little one, tricked Mettaton into turning around, revealing a switch on his back that they promptly flipped. This then turned Mettaton into the form that he specifically asked Alphys to make, called Mettaton EX. This form, being unfinished, made him vulnerable, and thus they fought.
Eventually (after losing his arms and legs) Mettaton stopped the battle, realizing that fighting Frisk was giving him the best ratings he had ever had. He decided to take calls from his loyal viewers on what he dubbed was his last show. His fans’ heart felt confessions and pleas for him to stay moved Mettaton deeply, and he told Frisk that he believed that they were strong enough to protect humanity, and that he would stay in the Underground since the Monsters needed him a lot more than the humans do.
After this decision, Mettaton shut down, unable to keep himself on now that his power had been run out. At this point Alphys was able to enter the room and bring him back to her lab for repairs. What Mettaton did after this point was a little sketchy—He showed up before the final battle between Frisk and Asriel to insist that Alphys and Undyne kiss (“since everyone has been waiting for it” in his words) but after that presumably he ran off and was then absorbed into Asriel when said God of Hyperdeath absorbed all the souls of the Monsters in the Underground.
After Frisk’s victory over Asriel, Mettaton returned to Waterfall where Napstablook and his old house were and immediately recruited him and Shyren as his sound mixer and backup singer, respectively, for his band up on the surface. Now that the monsters were free he planned on rebuilding his media empire and was excited to finally get the ratings and views he always wanted. This plan was a success, with Mettaton, Shyren and Napstablook all performing live on stage (with one of his other employees, Burgerpants, as a background bush) with Mettaton employing different aspects of both his box form and his EX body for entertainment purposes. And the rest was history! A happy history where his dreams came true.
CRAU: N/A.
Abilities/Special Powers: For one thing, an unavoidable laser, plus some magically enhanced kicks (that’s the best way I can describe his legs extending across the action box, honestly.) He also has the ability to send out mini box Mettatons with umbrellas that can overwhelm an opponent when they throw hearts embroidered with an M. He can also create bombs out of his ass I guess, since he throws them everywhere in various different forms at the protagonist. In general he is able to extend his limbs REALLY FAR to block, wrap, and/or harm an enemy. The heart on his Mettaton EX form has the ability to detach and shoot either an all encompassing barrage of lightning shaped bullets or those same bullets in a straight line. He also has the ability to summon a disco ball that sends out either blue or orange lasers, hurting you depending on whether you’re moving or standing still, respectively. He also has some good old fashioned squares that he can throw at you in a line that can only be destroyed by a bomb. In terms of just abilities, he is also a self-taught dancer.
He has another form called Mettaton NEO specifically designed for fighting that is shown during the No Mercy run of Undertale, but due to the script of the game, he actually doesn’t do anything and is automatically KO’d with one hit so any true fighting abilities he may have with that form are not really featured in the game.
Sample: 3rd person
"Alphys? Alphys, darling, let me adjust that bow on you."
For once he waited, standing beside the lizard monster as she looed at herself nervously in the mirror.
"I-I, uh. S-sure."
She's was a bundle of nerves, fidgeting and pulling at the lace on the tiers of tulle on her dress. Mettaton wordlessly reached over and smoothed her hands down as he adjusted one of the red velvet bows on the bustle. Alphys sighed, letting her hand go still as Mettaton finished. There was no real need to adjust it, he knew, but on such a special day, he really did want everything to be as perfect as can be.
"Y-you know, Metta, you could have worn... u-uh, you could have worn something more. You."
She gestured to the surprisingly plain black suit the robot was wearing. It was tailored to him, of course, but beyond the hot pink undershirt, his outfit was surprisingly tame. Mettaton sighed, shaking his head.
"Darling, you must understand, even I know I can't be in the spotlight all the time. This is your day, not mine."
He held out another hand to her. She took it, smiling gently as he helped her off her chair, the fabric of her bright white dress flowing elegantly from her waist to the floor. The clack of her heels made her want to retract into the fluff of her collar, but she managed to to stop herself. The sheer puffy white sleeves that adorned her dress added another level to the princess vibe she is giving off. The ribbons sparkled with sequins and small crystals and Mettaton sighed happily as she twirled, admiring the dress.
"I'm so glad you were able to get exactly what you wanted."
Alphys blushed a bit, looking to herself in the mirror. "It helps that you, y-you know. Paid for all of it. B-basically."
Her lightly sardonic tone got a laugh out of the other monster. "It was the least I could do darling, after all you built this body for me for free. Why wouldn't I put all my resources to make sure you got the very best for your wedding?"
He moved to the vanity, picking up a shimmering tiara, worked to fit perfectly on Alphys's head. It glowed softly, endowed with a gentle magic that made sure that even when still, it would shimmer with light within the jewels. The warmth of it flowed into his fingers as he rested it on Alphys's head. He looked down at her then, seeing her in all of her resplendent beauty. She smiled while looking up at him and he felt tears well up in his eyes. She laughed, her own eyes glassy as she tries to reach up and wipe away a few stray tears that fall down his face.
"You are stunning, my dear. Absolutely stunning. Undyne is one very lucky woman."
Alphys blushed again, the gentle pink over her face flattering her features and Mettaton felt his soul flutter just a bit.
"I-I don't know, Metta. She's still marrying me. So maybe she's not the l-luckiest."
Mettaton shook his head vigorously, steering her towards the door. "Nonsense. If there is one thing I know about you and her, it's that this wouldn't be happening unless you both wanted it to happen. You make her happy and she makes you happy. Simple as that." He sighed dreamily. "What more can you possibly ask for?"
Alphys laughed, letting her best friend maneuver her to the door. "I promise I'll return the favor one day. I-if you get married."
Mettaton grinned as he reached for the door knob. "You don't think I will demand too much of you, hm? You know how picky I can be. Besides, I'm practically married to myself and it is a full-time job!"
"Metta..."
"Yes, yes, we can further discuss this later, right now!!! The love of your life awaits you!!!!"
He opened the door with a flourish, giving Alphys a deep bow.
"Knock them dead, darling."
Sample 2: Second person
[The camera turns on and the lighting is honestly incredible for the equivalent of your typical smartphone camera. There seems to be... a filter of some kind on the edges? Little bright pink flowers and hearts that perfectly frame the screen. It's not until the camera moves again that it becomes readily apparent that, no, this isn't a filter, these are stickers that whoever owns this phone painstakingly put on so that their face is perfectly framed by it.
Who did it is readily apparent when a certain robotic face pops into view.]
Helloooooooooooooooo Wonderlaaaaaand~! ♥
[Mettaton grins, blowing a kiss to the camera.]
Did you all miss me? Don't answer. I know you did. And while I certainly did not plan, at all, to come back here for a second tour... I guess Wonderland had different ideas for me!
[He sounds only vaguely annoyed rather than furious. It's fine. He had his little tantrum before this broadcast.]
So! For all of you who have been here for awhile or since I have been gone- tell me all that juicy Wonderland gossip on what I've missed! And perhaps explain to me how I have gotten trapped again in this hellhole without the bare decency of having forgotten my previous stay?
[His smile is a bit strained at that comment, but he carries on.]
Regardless, I am back again to bless all of your lives! And I look forward to meeting you all.
[He blows another kiss to the camera and cuts off the feed.]
Eway return: Yes!
Lost memory: Mettaton will be losing the memory of the first time he saw himself in the mirror in his box form. A very sentimental and meaningful memory that he will definitely be upset about not having anymore LOL.
