"Blooky, darling! The next number is coming up soon!" Mettaton said opening the door. The room was one of the private rooms available to troupe members. Mettaton made sure there was no VIP accession taking into consideration his fellow members' introverted natures.
"Blooky?" Mettaton repeated the pet name upon seeing the ghost staring intently at their computer screen. The air in the room felt heavier than it should. He knew Nasptablook's personality was rather depressing, but the density of this oppressive atmosphere felt resoundingly grave.
Mettaton drew closer to his cousin. Holding up a hand he placed it gently into Napstablook's view on the desk where the computer sat. The ghost reacted by shaking as if out of a daze. Mettaton faintly felt the air growing cold as Napstablook's mood affected it. Even being fused with a robotic body he was glad some of his ghastly nature remained.
"oh….Mettaton….sorry i….this email alphys sent me," they said drifting to one side so the robot could read more easily. The monster had adopted a more serious email format, something Mettaton was only used to seeing whenever he saw Alphys emailing colleagues.
"she said she could…make me a body like your's…" The tone of Napstablook's voice further raised Mettaton's concern. He scanned the email recognizing what his cousin meant, and also read that Alphys made it very clear the design of the body was up to Napstablook and wouldn't have to resemble Mettaton's unless they chose to do so.
"Darling… You don't have to say yes," Mettaton reassured with a smile. It caught the ghost's attention making him perk up a little.
"you think so….?"
"Absolutely! Blooky, darling, remember I believe in being whatever makes you comfortable! It just so happens being corporeal makes me comfortable! If being as you are makes you comfortable there's no reason to change!"
"oh…."
"It's as they say! You can't fix perfection!" Mettaton paused to let his words sink in. The oppressive atmosphere began to lift.
"oh….okay. I'll tell her no then….thank you…" There was a smile in his cousin's voice. Mettaton smiled back and asked if Napstablook would be ready to go on stage soon. The ghost replied that he would soon as he replied to the email and finished checking over the new music mixes.
