[Video | UN: METTATON] / After the battle, before the puzzle's completion

[ex_mettacrusher33]

[Mettaton looks, for lack of a better word, hideous. His hair is frayed and patches of his beautiful chrome finish have been blackened from the flames. Parts of the pink paint on his chest have been eroded from acid. The various nicks and scuffs across his body don't do him any favors either, and neither does the occasional sparks shooting from his shoulder where a neat little pauldron used to be.

Still, he's smiling. It's not very bright, but what isn't there to smile about. They're leaving, aren't they?

In frame, he begins to waggle a bright, red bottle. Whether it's small because of its size or because a large robot is holding it is another story.]

If anyone requires healing before we shuttle ourselves out of here, I found a few potions I'm not going to need. All I ask for is the bottle back when you're finished.

If anyone else can provide service, I'd suggest letting others know here. Goodness knows 6 potions aren't going to help everyone.

((Feel free to threadhop and have characters mingle for help/items!))

Healing won't fix broken wiring or bent metal, but I appreciate the concern, Mr. Andersen. Let's focus on the people who could actually use your help, hm?

[ex_mettacrusher33]

Uh-huh.

[How does he keep managing to attract all of the... what does Alphys call them? "Soon dairies"?

It must be just another talent.]

[ex_mettacrusher33]

What attitude?

[First of all, that sure is a robot speaking, so what the hell? Second of all--]

Yeah, because I can entrust my health to a sketchily generic potion. No thanks. The bandages are working just fine.

[ex_mettacrusher33]

You could have entrusted your DEATH to a giant robotic minotaur, so if we're going to be drawing lines in how silly things sound, I wouldn't suggest it at the potions.

They're tested working. Have a little faith in your friends, darling.

[sadgay]

Ok let's get one thing straight. Nobody around here is my friend. Just because I was forced to be on this team of lunatics doesn't mean I'm suddenly gonna be all buddy buddy with everyone.

[ex_mettacrusher33]

Now, now, I'm sure the petulant act is stellar on you, but that seems like an awfully good way of getting yourself left behind. People will look out for their friends, after all.

And as the case may be, I happen to be a celebrity. Everyone's my friend.

[Wink.]

So. Would you like a potion, or should we send you to Ms. Amélie? She mentioned something about needles and thread. If you're hurt, that might be more to your liking.

[catphishing]

He'll take the potion.

[ex_mettacrusher33]

[Oh, hello, suddenly determined friend.]

Know each other, Ollie?

[catphishing]

[Look, someone has to stop Connor from being a dumbass.]

He's... [He falters there. He doesn't really know what Connor is, and he definitely doesn't feel comfortable classifying him where Connor will hear it.] He's from home.

He's new. We're not used to anything like this. I'd really appreciate it if he could have a potion.

[sadgay]

Oh my god, it's not even that bad.

[catphishing]

It doesn't matter. Just take it.

[sadgay]

[Fine, he's switching to video too so they can make this a proper conversation. Oliver may have diffused the gathering argument, but that doesn't mean he can't fix the robot with one his trademark bitchy looks - because he isn't buying all that sugary sweetness.]

Fine, whatever, I'll drink the Kool-Aid.

[Then more to himself:]

Of course Oliver is friends with a freakin' robot.

[ex_mettacrusher33]

...

[Mettaton is, visibly, a little taken aback at the switch in media. But then--]

Well, I can certainly see why he's friends with you.

[He's smiling in that strangely certain way that can only read "I find you exceedingly handsome, but also ridiculous." So Mettaton was right about someone knowing how to use that pouty look. Honestly, way to go, Oliver.]

[Well, since they're all on about medical stuff and healing --]

I have a cache of medical supplies; bandages, thread and needle for stitches and some painkillers.

[ex_mettacrusher33]

Thank you ever so much, beautiful. Those'll be plenty handy for our friends who'd prefer a less... "magical" touch.

[Cough cough, irritable stranger up-thread.]

[araigneedusoir]

You're welcome. I'm no doctor but people can come find me if they need something.

[There's always one of those...]

[offkey]

not sure about taking any potions (what is this a video game?) but uh

you wouldn't happen to know anyone handy with a needle and thread would you?

[ex_mettacrusher33]

I would ask Ms. Amélie. She was offering those.

Her handle's Evening Spider.

[offkey]

evening spider?

okay

thanks

[ Spider? What's with the 'spider' theme ... seems suspicious.

And yet, he's a little desperate. ]
