video; un: demon cyborg

[scrap_metal]

[ Genos is sitting on the floor in a small room, with a mix of confusion and annoyance on his face. There's a lot of yellow fabric scattered around, and behind him, a hint of Saitama on a visible side of the floor; lying down, reading something.

The annoyance comes from losing a fight in which cyborg is participating. With needle and thread against a tattered...yellow...rag? He puts away the needle and presents the rag- ah, it's actually a yellow jumpsuit, full of holes though - to the viewers. Some of the holes are patched up, with the different yellow fabric. The color is close enough, but the texture is different so they do stand out. ]

While we still have some time before the mission begins, and I understand that gathering intel, and investigating the museum is our top priority right now, I still have a small request for assistance

[ He tries to fold the uniform without damaging it further ]

Is anyone here skilled in the art of tailoring, or specifically, fixing clothes? Unfortunately, I do not possess necessary experience and knowledge required to save my sensei's hero suit. Contact to trusted tailor would be welcome as well, but since we don't have much time left, I'd rather not have the suit left behind when we get ported back.

[ At this point Saitama just rolls over and says ]

Genos, stop bothering people about unnecessary stuff.

[ Genos, of course, turns back to him ]

It's very necessary, I know how much your uniform means to you-- [ the video ends before he finishes the tirade ]

[ The connection goes dark for a while, as Mettaton rightfully butts-in, and Genos' attention for arguing goes elsewhere

After a while Genos gets back here with ]

It was brought to my attention that I was acting on incomplete information, and personal prejudice, and as such, I owe you an apology. As you're peaceful, and "sweetheart" and "wouldn't hurt a fly" [ he does mimic a little Mettaton tone on the quoted parts ]

[boneafide]

[Yeah, he can see Mettaton butting in there, and while he knows he can defend himself, and might have at another time been annoyed that Mettaton was just doing all this for him...

Right now, he appreciates it immensely. He doesn't recall having met someone so blatantly
hateful of Monsters as a member of ALASTAIR. Sure, there's been distrust, there's been suspicion, but no one he can recall being threatened by just because he was a Monster.

Papyrus sighs, although it's more relieved he doesn't have to explain himself.]

Mettaton told you all that, right? Thank you for the apology. I didn't think there was anyone here still so upset by Monsters! There's a few of us here in Aldente-

[...Yeah, he said Aldente.]

-that are monsters. I'm just letting you know, so you don't freak out! There's me- my name's Papyrus, by the way! There's also my brother Sans, Mettaton, and Undyne. We're all from the same world, but there's a few others here that are kinda Monsters too!

I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I promise, I'd never hurt someone!

[scrap_metal]

[ Genos sighs too and looks on a side. ]

I don't think "upset" is a right word choice here. In my world "monsters" seem to be something different than you and others from your world.

I acted impulsively in what I assumed to be in the best interest of human part of the team.

[ Forgetting that human or not, they're still on a team ]

Next time I will keep cooperation that is base of the Alde- [ NO, THAT'S A WAY TO COOK PASTA ] Audentes in mind, instead of jumping to conclusions.

[boneafide]

Oh.

[It's a little disheartening to hear that in some world, Monsters really aren't that good, but... he's heard of this before at this point.]

Well! Thank you for that! You know what they say when you jump to conclusions!

[scrap_metal]

No? What do they say?

[boneafide]

You fall off a cliff.

[What. No. No one says this. He doesn't know what he's talking about.]

[scrap_metal]

[ There does not seem to be much logic in that... but, eh, sayings are often not very logical ]

That doesn't sound very dangerous.

[boneafide]

Of course it's dangerous! People die when falling off cliffs!!

[scrap_metal]

That probably depends on the size of the cliff, but I've fallen off high altitudes already.

[boneafide]

But are you a normal human??

[scrap_metal]

I was born one, yes. But right now... that would depend on what kind of definition you use.

[ being mostly a machine now, yaddayadda and all. He kind of makes sure the video captures more of him as part of making the point ]

[boneafide]

A normal human can't fall off a cliff and be fine!!

[scrap_metal]

One with artificially enhanced durability can.

[boneafide]

But that's not most people!

[scrap_metal]

I wasn't talking about most of people though.

[ he's completely fine jumping to conclusions because he can fall from the cliff and survive, is a terrible lesson to get out of it. ]

[boneafide]

I was! It's a saying, which means it's not just about you, it's about most people!

[scrap_metal]

Looks like I took it too literally then.

[ As usual ]
