[Video | UN: METTATON]

Well, Audentes. Things have certainly taken a turn towards Sweeps Week, haven't they?

[Who's this stunningly handsome, yet unfortunately badly lit human...? Obviously, it's Mettaton, darlings, learn how to read. But wherever could he be with such hideous lighting?]

Riots, infected, and secrets, oh my... While we're out here doing our best to keep both the townspeople and ourselves safe, I thought it'd be a good time to share with the class what we might have found. And without having to play me for it!! Lucky you. [Wink.

The "camera" gets turned away from Mettaton (a crime, he knows), now clearly showing the inside of Woodhurst Watch HQ. Specifically, inside the head editor's room. He expertly pans it from the mess on the floor that the infected and townsfolk left in their rush to head out towards the top of the desk he's sitting at. On the desk, next to where he's perched his legs (you're welcome), are some scattered sheets of paper. He's focusing his communications jewelry on one in particular.]


"Local cancer patient attacks doctor during regularly scheduled chemotherapy appointment." How dramatic. But certainly interesting, isn't it? [He's audibly tapping his fingers on the desk, just out of frame.] Can't say I know entirely what to make of it, but I'm sure checking any records in the hospital would be a good start.

Also. [He turns his necklace back to himself.] Since I and, I'm only assuming, the rest of those inorganic among us aren't particularly interesting to those infected, we might prove ourselves useful when it comes to... Well. Anything. Can't be infected, won't even attract attention... [He puts a hand to his chest and sighs.] I never thought I'd find an audience I couldn't captivate. But! Here we are and the show must go on.

[Slightly more serious. It's obvious there are specific, less fortunate people on his mind.] If there's anyone out there that needs help, let me know. I'm no superhero, but...

...Why waste a talent when you have it?

Whoa, whoa, whoa -- how do we know it belongs to the same person? [Not that she has any evidence it doesn't, but. She's not quite on board yet.]

It's a big sewer system. Have you been down there? Plenty of people could be holing up.

['HIDEOUS ALIEN'... Mettaton don't be prejudiced against the beauty-challenged.]

Well -- people, not necessarily... aliens-- why are you so hung up on the alien angle? There aren't any here.

[Fantastical and dramatic. Ho-kay.] Well... we did get sent on a babysitting mission once.

But anyway -- why not go all out on it? They've got to be cannibal aliens. And, like, baby murderers. Baby cannibals.
cachemoney: (knock knock open up the door it's real)

The original intent of... [Wait.]

You're saying you think this is weaponized?

Um. [Hold on. She's not really good at solving mysteries; you can't shoot them in the face.]

To... turn people into... cannibals?

[She frowns a little, squinting.] Oooo...kay. Look, wouldn't it be easier to just bomb everything? If they wanted everyone dead.

[So the Bristol Virus is a mistake? It's an interesting theory, one she hadn't thought of before, even if it means the people here are essentially guinea pigs.] Ugh.

[She takes another second to think.]

Compliance. If a population is brain-scrambled with a virus, it's a lot harder to fight back. Too bad all it did was make people super fighty.
cachemoney: (lmao)

...I guess it is dramatic. I mean. If people weren't being eaten by other people.
