[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?

Oh. Uh, I guess? I don't think I'm ugly but I'll work on keeping it that way when I grow more.

Rule number two, don't... wear your Hack-A-Thon T-shirt to the party. Your hypothetical Hack-A-Thon T-shirt. If you don't have one you should really get one, though, Hack-A-Thons are awesome. Just don't dress like a nerd. Appearance is probably 75% of the battle.

[personal profile] twinpeak 2017-02-28 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Appearance. Right. I do know that's important for impressing others at a party.

By the way, what's a Hack-A-Thon?

Okay, well, you know what hacking is, right.

[ He assumes yes, Dipper's a smart cookie. ]

So it's like that, but.

A-Thon.

Sooo something that involves a lot of hacking? I've actually never hacked anything in my life.

Yeah! It's like, sprint programming. That's what I used to do, I was a programmer. It was preeeetty sweet. You should try it out sometime.

[ he probably coded programs for really dumb boring shit, but whatever ]

[personal profile] twinpeak 2017-02-28 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
You know, I never actually considered programming, but the last time I tried breaking into a password protected computer it ended horribly so maybe I should. Is it hard?

Passwords? Getting past those is child's play. If you're really interested, I could teach you. My robot arm's basically a computer - I know, it's awesome, hold your gasps - so yeah.

[personal profile] twinpeak 2017-03-01 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Wait. REALLY? I thought it was just an arm all this time! Except you know, robotic. But I didn't know it DID anything. What kind of stuff can you do with it?

[personal profile] dbag 2017-03-02 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
No, no, it's totally awesome! It was made to connect to the ECHOnet. It can bring up a holographic screen and everything. And it's a FLASHLIGHT.

I should have led with the flashlight thing, it's kind of a lame thing to end on, I realize that now. But still!! It's cool. I didn't get my arm chopped off to have a NOT cool robotic arm.

[personal profile] twinpeak 2017-03-04 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Not that anyone PLANS on having their arm chopped off, but when it does happen yeah, you may as well get a cool robotic arm.

And hey, a flashlight is still more than my normal arm can do. What kind of network is the ECHOnet?

Haha... yeah, nobody PLANS on it, of course not. That would be dumb.

[

He didn't plan on getting his arm ripped off the second time, it's technically not a lie!! But no, he definitely did plan on getting his arm surgically removed, yep.
]

The ECHOnet's kind of like our comms? But way more. There's like a zillion people on it and things to check out. And a lot of really weird stuff. But you can just scroll past that.

[personal profile] twinpeak 2017-03-04 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, so it's just the internet. I guess it doesn't matter where you go, the weird stuff is inevitable, huh.

Still pretty handy! Literally. I wonder if that's what smartphones where I'm from will eventually evolve into. Wi-fi access right from your limbs!

Limbs... eyes. I've got an eye implant, too. It's no big deal. Except that it TOTALLY IS.

[ Why is he trying to impress a tween, is he trying to reclaim his horrible middle school experience, we just don't know. ]

You can pretty much get anything put anywhere and have it connect to the ECHOnet. Spoiler alert: the future is awesome, you heard it right from the source.

Dude, the future sounds awesome. How far into it are we talking though? I don't want to start looking forward to things only to find out I'll be very dead by the time it actually happens.
