this is how he accidentally became a robot. xD so i guess that this is where the action starts! (also thank you for staying with this if you did lol)
Alphys had fallen again on her desk again, this time working on the chassis of the robot, this process is going to take a while. First of all she had to wire the panel she had previously created onto the frame, and then connect the wires to the appropriate places. Just like a nervous system with the nerves connecting to one source! It seemed to come quite easier than the expected, maybe finish it by the end of next week or so. She doesn't want to get her hopes up too much, though, in fear something may go wrong.
She was lying on the floor this time, hugging her empty tookbox and snoring peacefully once again, her lab coat dirtied with grease and oil, leaving black stains on it. Boy, she didn't expect this to be a messy job.
The robotic frame didn't look quite aesthetically pleasing yet; it was just a mostly black frame, the left arm and leg not quite finished yet. It still had yet to have a core put in there, which would come last when the soul actually combines itself with the body. For now, it's really just a husk.
As the scientist was snoring away on the cold tile floor, Napstablook decided to come and visit. The door opened by itself, catching them by surprise. Staying stationary for a few seconds, they waited if she would come to the door...She didn't. So, they floated in silently with their headphones on, listening to music. Looking around for search of Alphys, he noticed the lab was dark and a single light was on up in her workstation. So they followed the light, and saw Alphys there.
"oh..." they said to himself. "i'll just wait here."
Bobbing slowly up and down in one place, he observed the body. 'she's good at this...' they thought. 'i wouldn't think anyone would be this nice to me...besides that human..'
More time passed as Napstablook patiently waited while listening to music, thoughts floating about in their mind.
'i hope mettaton likes this body...'
'what will others think of this?'
'will they like it?'
'they probably won't..'
The ghost's thoughts rang about in their head as they contined to become more and more negative. They didn't want those thoughts, but why were they still coming to them? We all have negative thoughts...
Napstablook teared up while staring at the empty body.
'what if they hate it?'
'what if they get angry at me?'
They wished away a lot of the thoughts and only left a few to themself.
'n-no...they won't...hopefully...'
...
Napstablook hung around for a few hours, as Alphys finally woke herself up. She rubbed and opened her eyes, running her hand across her nose with a sniffle, and adjusted her glasses. Getting up, the reptillian stretched and yawned.
"God, that made me sore.." she muttered, rubbing her back.
"oh...you're up..."
Alphys spun around and nearly had the life scared out of her. "Ah! Oh! U-Uh...S-Sorry! Didn't see you th-there.."
"oh...i woke you up, didn't i..."
"No no! You're alright." she gave a weary smile before going downstairs to make some coffee. The ghost followed behind her quietly.
"..it's coming along really cool..." Napstablook said.
Alphys gave a small chuckle. "T-Thanks.."
A silence settled between them for quite awhile, them just staring at eachother, Alphys sipping her coffee quietly.
"..So!" Alphys said, chuckling awkwardly. "Y-You make music for people right?"
"yeah..." Napstablook said, nodding a little. More silence settled.
"Well, I better get back to work! Y-You can watch if you want." she said, walking back up the stairs and setting her mug down on the table. Of course the mug had a anime cat girl on it, similar to the poster above her work table.
...
A few hours later, she had installed the container from where the soul would be in, and all the parts of the chassis. She sat back down at her table and started to work on the arms. Occasionally, she would strike up a small conversation with Napstablook, attempting to break the ice with them many times, which only cracked it a little bit, but not very much.. It would take awhile for them to be warmed up to the scientist.
"So you have a farm?" Alphys said, continuing on working on the arms.
"yeah..." Napstablook said, smiling the littlest.
"You said you also..Sell snails?"
"we race and sell snails..." they replied, slowly bobbing up and down in the air.
"That's cool,"
"i guess it is...heh.."
Both of them didn't talk for awhile as she worked on the arms.
''...so when is this gonna be done? sorry for asking.."
"Y-You're okay...I think It'll be done by sometime this week? Maybe at the beginning of next week."
"wow..you work fast."
"Heh, I guess."
...
Hours passed as Napstablook had found a nice corner to be in and listened to his playlist, drifting into space as he laid on the floor, a small area around him becoming a void of galaxies and space.
Alphys had gone downstairs and obtained ramen and soda to work on the project. Attaching the arms to the body.
Stepping back to admire her work so far, she said, "Now all I need to do is update the systems and let them calibrate."
"how long will that take?"
"A few days at the least..."
Napstablook sighed. "oh.."
"Time'll pass by quickly! Trust me."
"okay..."
Re-adjusting her lab coat, she decided to apply the accessories early so it would be ready to use right as the calibration is complete. "Looks perfect...What do you think, Napstablook?"
They got up once again and floated in front of it, looking it over a few times. "hmm... i feel like something's missing,"
"Headphones maybe? I couldn't find any good ones, sorry..."
"oh, that's okay...i can use my headphones..." they took off their headphones and put it around the neck of the body.
"Now how does it look?"
He seemed to have been sobbing as he placed the headphones on the robot. "it-it's perfect...thank you so much.."
The scientist grinned. "No prob, bob!"
"it-it's napstablook..."
"Ah, it's an expression, friend!"
"sorry..."
"It's okay. So I don't need to make any other edits to it?"
"no..it's perfect...thank you.."
