[Video | UN: METTATON]

[ex_mettacrusher33]

[The feed cuts to a familiar sight - it's Mettaton, darlings. He's lounging, as per usual, on what appears to be a still-standing piece of the ship. If anyone had been paying attention, it's where he's mostly been for the past few days outside of scavenging and playing nurses' assistant.]

Gooooooood evening, beauties and gentlebeauties. We've certainly been having a rough spot for a long while, now haven't we? Sure, death is imminent, things feel hopeless, yadda yadda, but why cry about broken ships when the show needs to go on?

As such, I thought it'd be a splendid idea for all of us to catch up with one another and see how our escape attempts are going. Found something interesting? Weapons, food, tools, interesting little pathways or things to avoid? Do let the rest of the class know!

As for me, you've probably noticed a little light in the sky guiding you home. [It doesn't show from the feed's angle, but for the past several days he's been projecting a star high into the sky to help keep any explorers be correctly oriented during their search.] You're welcome, by the way.

But I've ALSO come into the possession of a few little toys. [Into frame, he pulls out what looks like, and is, a pulse rifle that most certainly belonged to a prison guard at one point. He runs his hands along it like it's a game show prize.] THIS is only one of TWO that I'm willing to offer to a sweet SOUL in need of a little extra protection. For those more physical, [again, he reaches off screen and pulls out another weapon previously belonging to the guards: an electrical pike.] We have this. Don't worry, there's no price. Your adoration is its own reward. Let me know if you'd like them - first come, first serve.

[Wink.]

So what say you, darlings? Find anything good thus far?

[slapfight]

The engineering room on the prison was almost completely destroyed in the crash, but I think I can make what I got out of it useful.

[ex_mettacrusher33]

Useful how, Peri? Spill the secrets!!

Are you making me a friend? Oh, peanut, you SHOULDN'T have!!!

[slapfight]

[technically she could with all this metal around plus the fact that she's got the basic components from what she's ferreted away from the wreck, buuut...]

I was thinking more along the lines of a powersource. [she's so proud of herself.] Whatever controls the security in this maze can potentially be shut down just like the ship's controls. We just need to figure out where the control center is and overload it!

[she frowns.] I could also just use all of this to make a bomb. There's a ton you can do with batteries and wires and circuits.

[ex_mettacrusher33]

Hmm...

This is a matter of opinion, but your first idea seems far more useful than the second. As long as we can't do damage to any of the walls, I'm not sure a bomb will come into play any time soon.

I do have some glitter though, if you'd like to go ahead with Plan B anyhow.

[pummelling]

I found out that I hate mazes. Does that count?

[ex_mettacrusher33]

Oho, really? You know, mazes and puzzles are a time-honored tradition in Monster culture. It started as a defensive measure against humankind, but these days most Monsters just find it harmless fun!




But no, I'm not the fondest of them either. Why else would I take up the fabulous, envious role of the team compass?

[pummelling]

[]

You know this isn't a game, don't you? Thanks for the compass, Peter Pan, but no matter how much fun we're having, we're still trapped.

[Gods know why he was expecting Mettaton to be anything but insufferable, no matter the circumstance.]

[fintastic]

[ Listen. Mettaton. Listen. It's called a pike. A pike is a kind of fish. It is also long. This is Feferi's jam. Her fins are all perked up now, and she is so hyped. ]

May I have the second one? Pretty please?

[ex_mettacrusher33]

No.

[ex_mettacrusher33]

Pft. Of course you can, Fifi. Follow the north star and your wish shall be granted.

[fintastic]

Meanie! Okay, okay I'm coming! I'll be there soon, once I am done here.

[ The view tilts to show a view of a lake, and she gives a little wave. She has no idea what the north star is, but she can use her magitek, at least. ]

[sheriffing]

Graham and I found some flash grenades.

[ which she could not sound less excited about if she tried. moving those bricks took effort, okay?]

[ex_mettacrusher33]

[Flash.... grenade...???]

I want one.

[sheriffing]

For a specific purpose, or...?

[ she's trying to find a way to make these things useful. any ideas?]

audio; un: cardmaster

[fateality]

Found a couple of guns. But seein' as how firearms really aren't my thing, I'd be willin' to trade them to someone else if they got a good offer.

[He also found rations, but he's less willing to share that.]

audio■ un: virtuoso

[fourscores]

Them.

['scuse you Fate, one of those is his.]

[fateality]

[SIGHS.]

I'll just give away mine, then, tetrad. Don't be so delicate.

[fintastic]

[ Sometime after this... ]

Also I found some swords in the lake!

[ She turns the camera to show that there are a number of swords laid out on the ground. ]

I don't need all of these, so if someone else wants one, then I will come give one to you! But also if there is anyone who can show me how to use one, I'd apperchiate it!

video; un: redlion

[secondnature]

You want to learn how to use a sword now? Can't it wait?

[This sounds like Keith is telling her not to do it, but he's more surprised than anything.

But look, he's talking to Feferi and making an effort because she clearly wants to be friends. It's a start.]

[fintastic]

[ She shrugs; she doesn't really see the issue, but all the same! ]

I don't know, maybe? It would be nice to know how to use it if it comes down to it, though!

[feytality]

Well..... Mr. Shimada and I found granola bars.

[truly, the key to solving this whole plot]

audio; un: okami

[whatshimadayou]

Hmph. If nothing else, there are rations.

One cannot fight on his or her spirit alone.

[feytality]

Kinda sucks as far as snacks go.... but it's better than prison food.

un: harmonia; before the shittening ig

[digiorno]

I found a man who babbled about monsters with his last breath.

[In deadpan. Fun shit.]

We took his armor and rifle. We really don't need them, but if anybody else does, I'll bring them by.

[scrap_metal]

If anyone needs blankets I found some, albeit they're not in their prime. They could make some makeshift mattress. Also some throwing weapons and matches. Everything is for taking, as I have no need for either.

Either way, we can see that this maze is clearly often visited.
