SPOILER WARNING: IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THE GAME YET, PLEASE DO!
OTHERWISE THIS WILL MAKE NO SENSE OR RUIN PARTS OF THE GAME YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO YET.
SO PLEASE, GO PLAY IT, SERIOUSLY!
...
WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?
YOU BETTER HAVE PLAYED THE GAME BY NOW.
I WANT NO RESPONSIBILITY OVER SPOILING THINGS FOR OTHERS.
The more I think about it, the more I feel weirder and weirder.
"Oh god...It's possible, isn't it? Is this a thing that naturally happened in the past? Monsters and Humans...as romantic partners? Argh! My brain! Why the hell is this a issue?!"
I kick a rock as hard as I can in frustrated confusion.
"Why does this feel so weird? I shouldn't even have a problem with this. So what if monsters find me attractive and desirable? That's flattering as hell. They're far better than any human I could ever imagine or hope for. And they like me without even trying...so why...Why is the idea of interspecies coupling rattling me so hard?!"
My head and heart are spinning in a tornado of strange feelings...I scream without realizing it just to vent out some of this pressure.
I only realize how bad this is messing with me when my sight blurs out, I'm crying, I'm trembling, my fingers are digging into the palms of my hands enough to leave marks...I'm a wreck.
"*sniffles* Look at you...so pathetic...a mess over nothing...Flowey's right...I am a idiot..."
I force myself move to forward, in my mind I'm leaving a sad part of myself there, I don't want that 'thing' to come with me, I choose to ignore it, I'll deal with it later, because I can't deal with it now, I just can't.
"Hey! It's you again!"
I snap out of my despairing thoughts due to the call of a familiar blue bunny monster.
"Hey there, Nice Cream man. What brings you here to Hotland?"
"Business is excellent here! These two fellas bought ALL my ice cream! I've actually sold out of everything! ...Sorry."
I look over to see rabbit knight and dragon knight sharing a Bisicle...They're so happy together.
"Wait! I've still got something for you! ...A big smile! How about that!?"
I smile back.
"Thanks. That's just what I needed."
"I'm so happy! Nice Cream is really changing the world! I'm so excited to sell Nice Cream on the surface! If all humans are like you, I think it'll be really popular!"
"I know it will. It's the frozen treat that warms your heart. Who wouldn't like it?"
He beams with joy as I head onwards, I must be getting close to the capital now, things resemble a real city, by the process of elimination, I pick the first building I see to go in, it seems to be a multi-use hotel.
Inside I am greeted by what looks like a monster made of origami.
"Welcome to MTT Resort - Hotland's biggest apartment- building-turned-hotel! Whether you're here for a night or still live here, MTT Resort prides itself on a great stay!"
"Sounds nice, but I'm just looking around."
"Just passing through...? Nice! MTT Resort prides itself on being passed through!"
"Not sure that's good for business."
"Say now...You're that human from TV!"
"That I am, yes."
"Oh my god! You're so famous! *gasp* Have you seen Mettaton? He hasn't come by lately. I have a lot of respect for that man. I had trouble getting a job because I am so pointy and angular. But, being a rectangle, he understood my struggles."
"He's a good guy when he wants to be."
"Can I have your autograph?"
"...Sure? Uh...Got anything to write with and on?"
She pulls out a pen and holds out her arm, now I know how celebrities on the surface feel when this happens, very awkward, but I sign my name and the look on her face screams fandom.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This is so cool!"
"No biggie. Glad I could make you so happy."
She squeals with glee and flees to show it off...I can't help the giggles I get.
In the center of the resort is a fountain with Mettaton on it spitting water onto the floor.
[Royal Memorial Fountain Built 201X...Mettaton Added Last Week]
"His ego knows no bounds, does it?"
To my left is a restaurant, the front desk in the top left, the rooms to the right, burger shop in the top right, and the entry to the CORE dead ahead...maybe a bite to eat can cheer me up, the hot dogs I had earlier didn't fill me.
I enter the MTT shop and I smirk at who I see behind the counter.
"Welcome to MTT-Brand Burger Emporium, home of the Glamburger. Sparkle up your day (TM)."
"S'up BP."
"Lynn, buddy. What are you doing here? I told you to go to the LAB."
"I did go in the LAB. And now your boss is having me go through all of Hotland shooting TV shows."
"Aww...sucks to be you."
"Hey! He tries to kill me in each show and hits on me at the same time. It's exhausting."
Burgerpants just smirks at me.
"See why I'm like this now?"
"I see some of your point. But it's not all bad. I'm actually having fun."
"You really are nuts. Then again, being around Mettaton long enough will do that to you. God, have you even looked around? This place is a labyrinth of bad choices. And every time we try to change something for the better, he vetoes it and says 'that's not how they do it on the surface'. Oh! Right! Humans are always eating hamburgers made of SEQUINS AND GLUE."
"...No. No we do not eat that. It sounds pretty...pretty bad for your health."
He laughs.
"Heh...So what's new with you?"
"I'm sorry, ha ha, it's against the rules to talk to customers who haven't bought anything. I'll get in trouble if I get chummy with the customers. Sorry."
You're cocky grin says otherwise.
"So then, what can I do for you, little buddy?"
[60G - Starfait]
[120G - Glamburger]
[300G - Legendary Hero]
[500G - Steak in the Shape of Mettaton's Face]
"Geez, a bit on the expensive side don't you think?"
"Not my problem. I just sell the stuff."
"I guess I'll take a Starfait. Is it good?"
"Frankly, I wouldn't eat any of it. But that one's okay."
"Thanks. I greatly value your honesty."
He goes in back for a bit as I put the gold on the counter, he comes back with a rainbow colored parfait with a star cookie on it.
"This looks awesome."
I eat a spoonful.
"Holy furrballs that's good!"
"Heh, it's no big deal. Even if the job is shit, I take a bit of pride in it. Plus your my buddy. I ain't going to give you something that sucks."
"*gulp* Still, you should try to be a bit more optimistic about things. For example, I could've been killed multiple times today. But am I throwing in the towel? Nope. I'm giving negativity the finger and enjoying this treat my fuzzy buddy made."
I take another bite with a smile as he just looks at me in surprise and then smiles back.
"Well...There's one thing that keeps me going!"
"What's that?"
"If ASGORE gets just one more SOUL, we'll finally get to go to the surface!"
And just like that my smile dies.
"It'll be a brand new world! There's gotta be a second chance out there for me! For everyone! So I'll stay strong, little buddy. When I make it big, I'll keep you in mind."
Great, another life longing for the land above.
"Little buddy! There's a brand new world out there waiting for us. I'm sure with my *ahem* qualifications, it won't be long before I'm a famous movie star...Or, maybe I'll just end up flipping burgers again. But it's as I say! Nowhere to go but up! Literally, in this case!"
Do I have the heart to tell him it's harder up there?
No...No I can't do it.
I can't crush his hopes and dreams, I just can't.
"You okay? You look bummed out."
"Just thinking. Thinking how I'm such a fool."
He looks concerned.
"What do you mean?"
I look sadly into the parfait.
"Asgore needs only one more soul to break the barrier. Afterword's, Monsters can move to the surface. I've lived up there all my life, yet I can't picture ever going back. It's not a good place. I'd like to help free you all. But to do so, it would mean my death. And I can't die knowing it means I might open a Pandora's box upon a race that doesn't deserve it. I just can't."
A single tear slips out and lands in the dessert, damn it, even now I can't hold myself together.
His hand is on my shoulder in a scared and worried way.
"Buddy, it's okay. It's your life, your soul, your choice of what to do with it."
"I know...but there's so much counting on my soul. The freedom of an entire race for the sake of a single life. It would be for a most righteous cause. But the world you seek to return to...There's no guarantee that monsters won't come under attack again. And the weapons humanity has made since the war have only gotten more devastating. I don't want to unleash such evil. I refuse to be responsible for a possible genocide to those I call my friends and family."
"Look at you. Now I see what you were saying about me being a downer. Compared to you, my issues are nothing. You really keep all that to yourself?"
"Yeah."
"...How the hell haven't you become jaded?! My god, if I were you, I'd have snapped in less than ten minutes!"
I snicker at that.
"I try to look on the bright side more. I fell down here and gained a new life. One where I have family that cares and friends that accept me. They are my reason to smile. To face these thoughts and move forward. I just fear that one day, I'll have to make a choice."
He lights up a cigarette and takes a long drag of it.
"That's some deep shit on your plate. But from knowing you so far and seeing you on the TV...*puff* I know you'd make the right call when it comes down to it."
"You really think so?"
"*puff* Would I really say something like that and not mean it?"
"No...You wouldn't."
"Good. *puff* Then take it from me when I tell you this. I have faith in you."
That hits me like a slap to the face.
"Do you believe me Lynn?"
"Yeah."
"Great! Now, no more of this moping around. Don't you gotta film another show with that walking ego trip?"
I finish off the parfait and put the glass on the counter.
"I do. At least this time, he's letting me pick out what we do in the darn thing. No way he can flip it on me and try to kill me if I hold all the cards."
"There we go. You already sound like you again. Though before you go show him up, you might want to get a few things."
"Such as?"
"I don't know. Just go in the alley behind the resort. There you'll meet the two girls I told you about. They sell stuff. Very random stuff. Might find something interesting or not."
"...You want me to ask them out for you~?"
"..."
"I'll take that as a maybe."
"Get out you weirdo!"
I can't help but laugh and he hops the counter, nudging me out the door, I'll admit he's kind of cute when flustered like that, I am good with cats, but I think that's a furry line I shouldn't cross.
"Later BP."
"Just go already!"
"Silly kitty, why you so mad~?"
He just locks me out all embarrassed and I smirk.
"Fine silly kitty. I'll go see your girlfriend."
He flips out and ends up eating the door face first, forgetting he just locked them.
Unable to do anything about him, seeing he isn't hurt except his pride, I leave the resort and head to the back alley behind it, there I see two female monsters.
One is a tall, green alligator type creature that wears a primarily pink shawl with yellow and blue details on the sides, she has yellow hair that flows into curls.
The other is a tubby purple cat creature who wears a set of blue overalls with yellow buttons and tufts of yellow hair coming out from under it on either side, she has black hair with a blue streak in it, and a yellow earring on her left ear.
I'll bet money that out of the 2 girls, Burgerpants likes this cat.
"Howdy."
Damn it Flowey, why is your greeting always on my tongue?!
"Hey! Check it out!"
"Yeah! Check it out!"
Oh sweet hell.
"Hi."
"I'm Bratty, and this is my best friend, Catty."
"I'm Catty, and this is my best friend, Bratty."
They both laugh and I bite my tongue.
"I heard you girls sell things."
"You should buy ALL our stuff!"
"Bratty! We're gonna be rich!"
"So...What are you selling?"
"The stuff inside, is like..."
"TOTALLY wicked expensive."
"But, like, this stuff we found is like..."
"TOTALLY wicked cheap."
"You should..."
"Like..."
"TOTALLY wicked buy all of it?"
"I mean, like, where does anyone get guns, or food, or..."
"We found it in the garbage!"
They pause in a 'can't believe that was said' way before laughing it off...Burgerpants you can do better than these girls.
"It's GOOD garbage."
"It's like, really good garbage."
"Dare I even ask where you get the stuff?"
"Where do we get the garbage?"
"Like, the garbage store, duh!"
"..."
"..."
"Waterfall mostly."
"I found a gun in a dumpster!"
"Ladies! Please, just show me the stuff. Unless you don't want my gold."
That seemed to be the magic word because they unfurl a blanket that holds some random things.
[25G - Junk Food]
[350G - Empty Gun]
[350G - Cowboy Hat]
[600G - Mystery Key]
A key?
Why you so much money key?
Curse my luck that my key collection is back on the surface!
"What's that key for?"
"Who knows."
"Probably to someone's house LOL."
"Why? You want it?"
"I do, but I don't have 600 gold."
"Maybe we can work something out?"
"Like, you can get it for a trade."
"And what can I trade you for the key?"
"We don't. Really need. Anything."
"Oh my god, can you go get us some Glamburgers?"
"Like yes!"
"You get us the Glamburgers and you get the key."
"But that's 240 gold! I'd be nearly broke."
I lie, but I get the feeling I can haggle this sale.
"Okay. One burger."
"We can like, totally share it."
"Maybe you can."
"Oh Catty."
"...I'll be right back..."
I bolt away and back inside, thankfully Burgerpants unlocked the door.
"BP!"
"I thought I said..."
"I want to buy a Glamburger!"
"...Damn it. *sigh* Can I ask why?"
"The girls will trade me for one."
"Didn't I warn you about doing things for other people?"
"Can I buy it or not?"
I place the gold on the counter and he groans.
"Fine. One Glamburger coming up."
He heads to the back.
"Why you mad? I didn't say anything to them about you."
"You didn't?"
"Nope."
"...Thanks."
He comes back after a bit, a purple sequin covered burger in his hand.
"Hope this is worth it."
"I do too. Thanks BP."
"Thanksy! Have a FABU-FUL day!"
"..."
"What? Stop staring at me like that. It's store policy."
"So cute!"
"...Get out!"
I surrender to his command and leave with a smile much to his surprise, but I have a mission to complete, I return to Bratty and Catty, presenting the item of their desire like a diamond in the rough.
"Oh my God. Is that a glamburger?"
"OH MY GOD! GIMME!"
"God, Catty. Try to have some self-control."
"Sorry..."
"'Cause they OBVIOUSLY brought that Glamburger for ME."
"NOOO WAYYY!"
"Ladies! The key please, then you get the burger."
"Sure! Take it."
"Gimme! Gimme!"
The trade is made, they get the burger and I get the key for a way cheaper price then they wanted...Victory is mine!
They enjoy the burger as I head back into the resort, the key won't get on the key chain of my phone, I just slip it into a pocket and stop at the CORE entrance door...why is such a door in a resort, I have no clue.
"So...This is it. The final curtain call. Heh...Better not disappoint the drama queen."
I enter, it's...different.
Very different.
I follow the metal pipes to the super high-tech building, it feels even hotter here.
[RING]
"Hello Alphys dear."
"Ready? This is it! Take the elevator up to the top of the CORE!"
"Okie dokie. Wish me luck."
[CLICK]
I press the up button and it clicks for a second, I press it again, I hear the hum of the lift going down, the door opens and I go inside, letting it take me up to where this will hopeful be done with.
Hearing the tell tale ding, the elevator opens and I see where I'm expected to go...hard to miss a sign that literally says 'THIS WAY DARLING'.
"Here goes nothing."
I go into the room next to the elevator and there he is, the star himself.
"OH YES. THERE YOU ARE, DARLING."
"So this is where you've been hiding."
"WHO'S HIDING? CERTAINLY NOT I. IT PROBABLY JUST SEEMS THAT WAY DUE TO HOW LONG IT TOOK YOU TO GET HERE."
"Which all could've been avoided had you just flown me with you, instead of running away."
"IT'S CALLED DRAMA DEARY. PLUS YOU GOT TO ENJOY THE SIGHTS. I'D SAY THAT WAS WORTH THE WAIT."
"You have a point there. Hotland has some very interesting sights to see."
"SO CUTIE, ARE YOU READY? IT'S TIME TO HAVE OUR LITTLE SHOWDOWN."
"I'm ready when you are."
"PERFECT! IT'S TIME TO FINALLY STOP THE 'MALFUNCTIONING' ROBOT...NOT! MALFUNCTION? REPROGRAMMING? PLEASE. THIS WAS ALL JUST A BIG SHOW. AN ACT. MY 'MALFUNCTION' WAS ALL MADE UP BY DR. ALPHYS."
I so called it.
"AS SHE WATCHED YOU ON THE SCREEN, SHE GREW ATTACHED TO YOUR ADVENTURE. SHE DESPERATELY WANTED TO BE A PART OF IT. SO SHE DECIDED TO INSERT HERSELF INTO YOUR STORY. THOUGH I WILL ADMIT, I WANTED YOU HERE JUST EVEN MORE THAN SHE DID. BUT THIS SCENARIO, WHERE SHE 'SAVES' YOU FROM ME, WAS HER CREATION. EVEN NOW, SHE IS WAITING OUTSIDE THIS ROOM. DURING OUR 'BATTLE', SHE WILL INTERRUPT. THEN SHE WILL PRETEND TO 'DEACTIVATE' ME, 'SAVING' YOU ONE FINAL TIME. FINALLY. SHE'LL BE THE HEROINE OF YOUR ADVENTURE. FINALLY. SHE'LL BE SOMEONE SOMEBODY ACTUALLY LIKES. YOU'LL REGARD HER SO HIGHLY SHE'LL EVEN BE ABLE TO CONVINCE YOU NOT TO LEAVE."
"One problem there...I knew this already."
He gets quiet.
"Y-YOU DID?"
"Yeah. At first it seemed a bit odd. But then the clues started to add up. Too many convenient coincidences. It became very obvious as she talked to me too."
"THEN, WHY GO ALONG WITH IT?"
"*shrug* Why not? It's fun doing this. It also seemed to be helping her with her confidence issues. I like helping others. Besides that, I have no intention of leaving. So no worries there, Alphys. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. Then again...I'm pretty sure she's not the only one that doesn't want me to leave."
His screen smiles and he sighs.
"THAT'S TRUE. YOU SEE, I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS PREDICTABLE CHARADE. I HAVE NO DESIRE TO HARM HUMANS. FAR FROM IT, ACTUALLY. AS METTATON, MY ONLY DESIRE IS TO ENTERTAIN. AFTER ALL, THE AUDIENCE DESERVES A GOOD SHOW, DON'T THEY? AND WHAT'S A GOOD SHOW...WITHOUT A PLOT TWIST?"
The entry way to the room shuts and we hear banging on it.
"H-hey! Wh-wh-what's going on!? Th-th-the door just locked itself!"
"And what a marvelous twist this is. Locked together in a room with no escape. You're so naughty~."
His screen goes red, guess he didn't really think of it that way.
"D-DON'T BE SO PERVERSE! IT'S NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL!"
"Right..."
"UHH...WELL...H-HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF WHAT YOU WANT THIS SHOW TO BE?"
"I don't know. So far the 'make Mettaton blush hour' seems pretty tempting to me."
"STOP IT!"
I just giggle, how ironic, he can dish out the flirts but can't handle them himself.
"Sorry Metta, I just can't help it. You make it too easy to tease."
He's silent for a bit, then his screen flashes excitedly.
"DARLING, CAN I SEE THAT MUSIC PLAYER YOU HAVE?"
My MP3?
"Can I ask why?"
"FOR THE SHOW."
"I guess that's okay."
I pull out my MP3 and hand it to him, he looks it over for a moment before plugging it into himself.
"OOOOH! SO MANY HITS TO USE. YOU HAVE GOOD TASTE."
"I suppose."
He unplugs and tosses it back to me, laughing as I put it away.
"What's so funny?"
"I JUST HAD A VERY FABULOUS IDEA FOR WHAT WE CAN DO IN THIS SHOW. AND DON'T WORRY, YOU'LL BE OKAY WITH IT COMPLETELY."
"And this idea is what exactly?"
"YOU'LL SEE~."
The room lights up in a red glow.
"SORRY, FOLKS! THE OLD PROGRAM'S BEEN CANCELED! BUT WE'VE GOT A FINALE THAT WILL DRIVE YOU WILD!"
The floor jerks then begins lifting us up, I fall to my knees unable to keep steady from the sudden speed up, what the hell is he up to?
"REAL DRAMA! REAL ACTION! REAL BLOODSHED! ON OUR NEW SHOW...'ATTACK OF THE KILLER ROBOT'! YES, I WAS THE ONE THAT RE-ARRANGED THE CORE! THAT, HOWEVER, WAS A SHORT-SIGHTED PLAN. YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE A HUNDRED TIMES BETTER? KILLING YOU MYSELF!"
"You're lying to yourself there."
"LISTEN, DARLING. I'VE SEEN YOU FIGHT. YOU'RE WEAK. IF YOU CONTINUE FORWARD, ASGORE WILL TAKE YOUR SOUL. AND WITH YOUR SOUL, ASGORE WILL DESTROY HUMANITY. BUT IF I GET YOUR SOUL, I CAN STOP ASGORE'S PLAN! I CAN SAVE HUMANITY FROM DESTRUCTION! THEN, USING YOUR SOUL, I'LL CROSS THROUGH THE BARRIER...AND BECOME THE STAR I'VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF BEING! HUNDREDS, THOUSANDS...NO! MILLIONS OF HUMANS WILL WATCH ME! GLITZ! GLAMOR! I'LL FINALLY HAVE IT ALL! SO WHAT IF A FEW PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE? THAT'S SHOW BUSINESS, BABY!"
"You don't hear yourself talk do you?"
"OH, BUT I DIDN'T TELL YOU YET HOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OUR LITTLE BATTLE. YOU SEE, WE'RE GOING TO..."
[RING]
"OH MY GOD! NOT THIS AGAIN!"
"Yes Alphys?"
"U..uh...I can't see what's going on in there, but...D-d-don't give up, okay!? Th...there's o-one l-l-last way to beat Mettaton...It's...um...it's...This is a work in- progress, so don't judge it too hard...But, you know how Mettaton always faces f-f-forward? That's because there's a switch on his backside. S-s-so if y-y-you c-c-can turn him around...um...And, umm...press th-th-th-the switch...He'll be...um...He'll be...Vulnerable. Well, g-g-gotta go!"
[CLICK]
We just look at each other.
"Is that true?"
"...TO A POINT, IT IS TRUE. IN MY CURRENT STATE, THIS BODY IS INVULNERABLE TO ATTACK. BUT IF YOU FLIP THE SWITCH, MY DEFENSE IS DROPPED GREATLY."
"Damn. That's a bummer."
"IT'S THE PRICE I PAY FOR TRYING TO MAKE A LONG TIME DREAM COME TRUE. WHICH IS WHY I WANT YOU TO PRESS IT."
"You…Are you sure about this?"
"I AM. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT WILL MAKE THIS MOMENT ALL THE MORE SPECIAL. SO IF YOU WOULD DO ME THE HONORS…"
He turns around to show me his back, a large switch with lettering above it that says 'switch' and a arrow pointing to it.
"LET'S MAKE THIS A SHOW NEITHER ONE OF US WILL EVER FORGET."
"Alright…But I'm only doing this because you asked so nicely."
I move in close, feeling nervous with each step.
"Are you ready? I mean…You don't have to do this if you don't want to."
"IT'S OKAY DEAR. I WANT THIS. BUT IT'S SO CUTE TO HEAR YOU SO FULL OF CONCERN~."
I flinch, damn it, he can still get to me.
I reach out to the switch, the floor comes to a stop with a harsh jerk, making me press hard and fast on it.
"DID YOU. JUST FLIP. MY SWITCH?"
He knocks me back as he seems to go haywire, his movements speed up to ridiculous levels, the dials on his front spin wildly, and his screen blinks out of control, a light beams out of him, blinding me as smoke bellows all around…what have I done?!
"OHHHH YESSSS!"
I try to focus as the smoke clears, stage lights drop from the ceiling, spotlighting on where he'd be, slowly a figure comes into view, this is definitely not a rectangle, this looks human almost.
"Ohhhh my. You flipped my switch a bit roughly there darling. You must be very eager for this~. You're desperate for the premiere of my new body. How rude…Lucky for you, I've been aching to show this off for a long time~. So…as thanks, I'll give you a handsome reward. I'll make your last living moments…ABSOLUTELY beautiful!"
The smoke clears and my brain fails to register what Mettaton now looks like.
[Mettaton EX makes his premiere!]
After having the switch on his back flipped, Mettaton has transformed into Mettaton EX, a new body he specially requested Alphys to make for him.
In this humanoid form, he has black hair with a long fringe that seems to cover his right eye, pale 'skin', and visible metal segments below and above his left eye, he has a pink chest piece with a dial on one side and a speaker on the other, a narrow metallic waist with a box contraption, and black shoulder guards above his segmented arms, which end in gloves, his long black-clad legs end in pink high-heeled boots.
But the most notable thing to me is what is in the box contraption…a glowing pink heart, his soul.
His soul?
Oh my god!
He's not a robot!
He's a ghost in a robot body!
That explains so much!
"Well darling? What do you think of my new hot metal body~?"
"I…I…"
"Are you okay? Your nose is bleeding."
I wipe my nose with my arm and see the trail of red, dear lord, my first ever nose bleed and it's from looking at him…I'm a freak!
"By that reaction, I'd have to say you find the new me very pleasing~."
[You felt your sins crawling on your back.]
I blush hard, my heart is pounding.
"Oh my. You do like this form! I so knew you would. But I do feel a bit exposed like this. What with my SOUL out in the open and all."
[You felt your sins weighing on your neck.]
Why the hell is this getting to me so hard?!
He smirks and comes to stand in front of me, he's so much taller now, at least over 6 feet, taller than Papyrus by a few inches at the most.
"You know…I might feel more comfortable if you were to join me in my exposure~."
All he does is utter those words and as if on cue, my soul pops out, shining bright and glowing the same pink as his own, this pleases him greatly, I can feel myself dying inside.
[KARMA coursing through your veins.]
I can't make myself speak, I'm utterly dumbstruck by him, and seeing this as a rare opportunity, he puts a hand to my cheek, letting his thumb rub small circles, just enjoying the sight of the overwhelmed girl before him.
"You're so soft and warm. Absolutely beautiful."
[Doomed to death of KARMA!]
Blood gushes from my nose and I fall back in a small fainting spell, the lights are out in my eyes, but I can still hear things, he's giggling at me.
"Now, who made it too easy to be teased again darling~? Heheheh…You're so adorable when flustered."
[Felt like a turning point.]
He's turned the table on me and my playful ways.
His skill is impressive…he's my teasing rival!
"Challenge accepted!"
I snap out of it and push myself into a leap back onto my feet, his smile grows as a wicked grin claims my lips.
[The thought of having a teasing rival fills you with DETERMINATION!]
"Oh. I'm glad to see you're not out of the game dear."
"Far from it Metta. I'm just getting warmed up."
[The REAL battle finally begins.]
