[Action | Video] ;; New Bark Town

[mttbrandlegs]

[A - Action]. OH THE HUMANITY!!!

[The first thing Mettaton does upon his arrival doesn't really pertain to his Pokémon. Certainly he had been mildly curious and released his new friend by accident, but that really wasn't at the forefront of his mind.

Instead he is busy simply existing near the outskirts of New Bark Town, having fallen to his knees upon realizing that he was human. Sure, it was a bit dramatic, but he was nothing if not a drama queen. LET HIM HAVE THIS!!

So there he stays, simply content to feel everything new about him. The beat of his heart thrumming in his chest, encased by a living skeleton, muscles, and skin. He needs to take all of this in, and as he does, it makes his heart race and his head spin.

He can't even be embarrassed to feel the warmth of tears running down his tanned cheeks. He can cry! God, he can cry, he can feel things in such a different way!! It's a little overwhelming, that's all!

Th...this is the happiest...moment of my life!!

[He proclaims this loudly, with exaggerated body movements to convey his point. Being choked up will never take away his showmanship, but hey! HE'S A HUMAN!!!

And a good looking one, despite his over-the-top emoting. He's a slender fellow and his clothes is all form-fitting, covering most of his body, including his white gloves. And of course, no one could ever part Mettaton from his boots. So however he got here, the three-inch heels came, in all their pink glory. Slithering on one of said boots is a concerned Goomy making burbly noises because his trainer is crying.


[B - Video]. Baby's First Broadcast

[Some time later, Mettaton has figured out a little bit about his PokéGear by fiddling with it. He's even pointed it at his new Poké-buddy and gotten some interesting tidbits about Goomies, as well as thought up a nice name for him!

Now though, he is making use of the PokéConnect function. It's not that much different from using a cellphone, so it works for him! Before long, he's got the camera centered and with the touch of a button, his feed starts.]

Good afternoon, my new beauties and gentlebeauties!! Most of you don't know me, and that is a sad state of affairs!! [He wiggles the fingers of his free hand at the camera in greeting, his grin widening.] Yes, hello! I am Mettaton, and I am positively enthused to be here and meet all of you!! Or at least to do so in the future!

So!! Before I ended up here, I was two things; a robot and a popular entertainer!! Now I'm no longer a robot, or popular! However, there is no point lamenting that, because the part that still matters is the entertainer bit!

[With how expressive he is, that's not surprising. Even the way he speaks carries charisma and experience with addressing an audience. Though this isn't so much an audience as, well. A bunch of people who probably feel awkward that a total stranger is so enthusiastic about speaking to them.]

Anyway, I would love to carry on being an entertainer while I work towards the ultimate goal of raising my new partner, Silky!! [A pause as he tilts the camera up, showing that there is in fact a Goomy in his hair. Gross. Oh well, he doesn't seem to mind.] I also aspire to gather him up a bunch of new friends because that seems like the thing to do!!

Still, I would love to put on shows for you all the same way I've done for my darling fans back home! So here's a little pop quiz: What sort of things do you all find interesting and/or would like to see in a show setting?

Don't be shy, now! My Gear is always open to you, darlings!! Toodles!

[What sort of things does he find interesting? What sort of things does he find interesting?

Tackling the 'gear right now.]

You should do a show about soft cream, zura!!

[That's it, that's the show.]

[Video]

[mttbrandlegs]

[Ding ding! First customer~]

Soft cream? Do you mean like soft serve ice cream? Because I can do that!

[Probably while eating ice cream inappropriately. But that's the surprise, right?]

[Video]

[monge]

[There are other types of soft cream?

...Wait, no, not important. He'll worry about it later.]

M-MONGE!! That's it, that's the one, zura! I'd watch a soft cream show everyday, it'd be my favorite one, zura!

[veggie_vamp]

Oooh, ooh, Mettaton! Papy told me all about you!

[papy=papyrus]

Um, what I like in a show... romance! I'm all about the romance!

video

[mttbrandlegs]

Haha! It seems my reputation precedes me! How wonderful!!

[Yes!! That means that maybe more people will know who he is! At the moment, he mostly ignores who told this lovely young lady about him. He can't be on the up-and-up with every fan can he?]

Ah!! Romance is indeed a wonderful topic! I'd love to make a play with a traditional romance--maybe star-crossed lovers~? We'll have to see!! Thank you for the idea, honey!

[veggie_vamp]

Oh My Ghoul, that would be the best! I know all about star-crossed lovers. I'm dating a werewolf!

[captainash]

Good afternoon to you too, and welcome to Johto!

[It's nice to see a newcomer quickly get past the initial confusion, once in a while.]

Normally robots would have been enough to catch my attention, but I guess that's not an option right now. So, let's go with action.

[video]

[mttbrandlegs]

Thank you very much, it's nice to be here where everything's so...natural!

[Mettaton is awesome like that. He's the sort to adapt as quickly as possible and/or put up a strong front in the face of his own discomfort. Of course he's also prone to complaining about things he doesn't like very loudly too, but so far he's holding off on that!]

I'm sure that I could give you robots if I had a little stage makeup!! As for action, I'd be happy to work on something exciting like that!! It's just what I do!

[Drama! Action!!! Bl...oodshed?! Alright, he'll have to get some corn syrup blood going.]

[video]

[captainash]

It certainly is. Not a lot of green places left in your world either?

[Overuse of resources and industrialization are a greater problem than he thought.]

Your dedication to your work is impressive. For things like makeup and props, you best bet is shopping in Goldenrod. That's where the best stores are... if the roads are clear enough for you to reach it. For studios and stages, Fuchsia and Ecruteak are where you want to be.

[usedgravity]

Wow, you were a robot? A robot entertainer? [What the heck kind of world did this guy come from? There's robots at her school but they're... not smart. Or nearly as charismatic]

Maybe an adventure show? Like, chronicling your journey!

[mttbrandlegs]

Ooh, that's a wonderful idea!! I had been thinking about it of course, but now that I know at least someone would want to see it, that makes it an even better plan!!

I'll need a flashy title for that show! [One that doesn't have "--with a killer robot" attached to it, since he is no longer a killer robot. Wow, what a bummer.]

Anyway, yes! I was super-popular back hoe! Time to be super-popular here!

[Eugh. Back to square one.]

[usedgravity]

Hmmm, maybe Mettaton Meets Johto? Mettaton's Johto Journeys? [You're lucky you got one of the kids in her class who actually has naming sense, unlike the "Baron of ExplodoKills"]

Well, you've definitely got a great voice and attitude! I'm sure it'll work out!

[There is only an unintelligible screech.]

Video 2/2

[coolskeleton_95]

MUH-MUH-METTATON!

I...I WAS CERTAIN YOU'D LEFT FOREVER, JUST LIKE UNDYNE-!

[mttbrandlegs]

[Wow! What an excitable guy, and he knows him by name, just like that other girl who had contacted him. Maybe he was someone that Mettaton knew, though just a voice won't be helpful, and to hell with the face; Mettaton could scarcely recognize himself with skin!

What's far more interesting though, is what the handsome gentleman said after his fanboy screech.]

So you know me? My, I can't recall having been in quite this situation before, darling!!

[Explain.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

A popular entertainer, huh?

Well, it's about time someone showed up to dethrone DJ Mary.

[Video]

[mttbrandlegs]

Honey, I'm here to do whatever it takes to get to the top!! You can believe that!

[DJ Mary? Whoever that is, they're not going to be as popular as him once he gets situated here!!]

[Video]

[samsa]

[Oh, hey. It's not too often you end up seeing semi-familiar faces right after people show up from all over, especially the face of somebody who you spent a great deal of time dancing with. As usual, Kaneki doesn't remember everything from that night, but Mettaton is a hard individual to forget.]

I find literature more interesting than anything, but...I don't know how well that would translate in a show setting.

[...]

Not unless you planned on trying to do a play based on a book.

[mttbrandlegs]

[To be fair, Mettaton doesn't remember anything from that night! It's a shame, he'd love to know that he was memorable~ Besides which, he'd had fun at that dance.

Oh well, c'est la vie!]

I could do that if I had a script! Or I could script a play from a book, something like that! The sky is the limit as far as I'm concerned!!

[Audio]

[thedifferencebetween]

Robot, huh? What company built you?

[He's...he's not touching the rest of that. Wow. Someone's personality chip is having a severe malfunction.]

[But this is the first time anyone's come on the ECHOnet and said things that actually make sense to Handsome Jack. Robot performers? Yeah, he can name like four companies that make those. Including his own.]

[mttbrandlegs]

[Mettaton scoffs.]

No company built me, I'm not something so simple as to be mass-produced! I was built by the Royal Scientist, Dr. Alphys, and presented as a robot with a soul!! So I am--or was--one-of-a-kind creation put together by one person!

[Calm down, Mettaton. You know that was all a giant lie.]

[manlycharms]

[Oh, someone's enthusiastic, aren't they? He certainly has the charisma befitting an actor, and in a way, it reminds Ringabel of himself. And a former robot? Very impressive... He's so personable. Clearly not just a mindless machine...

Oh, don't mind him as he jots down a few notes in his journal. This is very, very intriguing to him.]

Well, personally, I've a certain fondness for romance. Adventure! Drama and suspense. When mixed together, you have a recipe for a gripping, heartfelt tale.

[Granted, TV is still a strange concept for him.]

[mttbrandlegs]

[Take all the notes, if he could pose for them, then Mettaton absolutely would~]

A lovely tale indeed!! I love all of those, and to combine them all in one grand show is only common sense! I see you have excellent taste, dear!

[Voice]

[wildfaunusfled]

[THAT IS A GUY SAYING HE WAS A ROBOT WITH A- THAT'S NOT EVEN AN OBJECT WITH LEGS IT'S JUST GOOP.......

But once she gets over the confusion, well, she's at this post now.]

I've never been too into shows. What... kind of show did you have before being here?

[mttbrandlegs]

[Don't hate on his Pokémon's silky swagger! This is clearly the greatest friend ever, and anyone who says different just doesn't appreciate the beauty of a cute gastropod!

Needless to say, it's probably to the young woman's benefit that she doesn't insult Mettaton's Goomy.]

I had many typed of shows! I toured and did plays, musicals, and of course my television broadcasts are not to be forgotten! Movies, sitcoms, and reality TV!!! I've done it all!!
