[The feed picks up at the end of an epic battle!]

NOW, FINISHING BLOW WITH YOUR SPECIAL ICE BEAM ATTACK! [Arial the Lapras complies! That Pidgeot spirals and crashes! Victory!]

D-Darn it! My dad's cherished Pidgeot...!

NYEH-HEH-HEH-HEH-HEHHHH! THE GREAT PAPYRUS PREVAILS AT LAST!

Well, you've earned the ZEPHYR BADGE. It was a good battle.

[Papyrus accepts his shiny new badge!]

WHY, THANK YOU! IN FACT, I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU AS WELL! [Papyrus hands Falkner a big binder, stuffed with papers and diagrams.]

What...

I HAVE COMPILED SEVERAL SUGGESTIONS, DETAILS, AND BLUEPRINTS FOR GYM PUZZLES FOR YOU! YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THEY ARE ALL BIRD OR FLYING BASED, AND DETAIL HOW TO BUILD AND SOLVE THEM! I DO HOPE THAT YOU TAKE THEM TO HEART AND UPDATE YOUR GYM! EVERYONE LOVES A GOOD PUZZLE! WELL, EXCEPT REALLY WEIRD PEOPLE! BUT THERE'S HARDLY ANY OF THOSE AROUND!

...Get out of my gym.

[Luckily, Paps was all ready on his way out.]

GOODBYE! I DO HOPE TO SEE SOME PUZZLES IN USE IN THE FUTURE!!!

[[ooc- BOLDED is Falkner. He is very done.]]

OF COURSE YOU CAN! [Papyrus scribbles out a quick "maze" with Xs along the way you have to hit.]

SEE? MAKE THE X'S O'S AND THE SWITCH AT THE END!

[Video]

[cyan_maid]

Huh...but it seems like you could do that fairly easily on a piece of paper. Is it more of a physical puzzle, like you'd find in a dungeon or a temple?

Re: [Video]

[coolskeleton_95]

IN THE SNOW, ACTUALLY!

[Video]

[cyan_maid]

So you do it outside! And then, once you've changed all the X's to O's and hit the switch, what do you get for solving the puzzle?

Re: [Video]

[coolskeleton_95]

THE PATH TO THE NEXT AREA OPENS, OBVIOUSLY!

You don't need them, you just have to be you!

[cyan_maid]

Huh! That sounds...oddly familiar.

[Please tell her this guy isn't from a session of Sburb PLEASE]

By any chance, this doesn't have to do with any games, does it? It's just...puzzles for the sake of making travel a bit more engaging?

lmk if this is a bit too presumptive! Just trying to move things along!

[mttbrandlegs]

[Mettaton smiles happily, before sweeping one of Papyrus' hands in his own and leading him out of the Pokemon Center. The trip is thankfully short, of course, and the establishment which the ex-robot had been referring to is indeed small, with outside seating.

Mettaton picks a table out, only releasing Papyrus' hand so that he can sit and set his shopping bag down.]

Whew! Well, here it is!! Order what you like, and pick something good for me~ I want my first cup of coffee to be good!!

THAT'S ALL...?

Re: [Video]

[coolskeleton_95]

GAMES ARE FOR BABY BONES! MY PUZZLES ARE FOR DEFENSE!

This is fine! Very MTT!

[coolskeleton_95]

[OH GOD THE PRESSURE.]

O-OKAY! [Red as ever, he orders two mochas, heavy on the milk! Gotta get that calcium! He returns shortly. The barista has poured cute designs in the cream. Mettaton gets a heart.]

I UM, LIKE THIS ONE BECAUSE IT HAS PLENTY OF MILK IN IT!

[coolskeleton_95]

BECAUSE THEY ENHANCE EVERY EXPERIENCE!

[mttbrandlegs]

[In the time it takes to get the drinks, Mettaton puts his purchases away into his pack. As he tucks away the final item, Papyrus reappears with coffee. Yes!!

Mettaton reaches for the cup. Ooh, humans sure can get creative with their drinks! Mettaton is much more interested in getting a whiff than just observing the design. After all, he's still getting used to experiencing things with his new senses.]

It smells heavenly~

Re: Video

[veggie_vamp]

That's all!

[Video]

[cyan_maid]

No, I mean like...a video game, specifically, but played in person and not on a machine.

Re: [Video]

[coolskeleton_95]

OF COURSE NOT! ALL OF MY PUZZLES ARE 100 PERCENT ORIGINAL!

Re: Video

[coolskeleton_95]

I...I'LL TRY MY BEST!

[coolskeleton_95]

I HOPE YOU LIKE IT! ERM....I'VE FOUND IT TAKES SOME GETTING USED TO...EVEN WITH CREAM AND SUGAR! [He sips his own, and only grimaces slightly! He's getting better!]

[mttbrandlegs]

I'm certain it'll be fine!!

[Mettaton brings the cup to his lips, sipping--oh, oh jeez!! It's very hot! He pulls it away, fanning at his mouth as if that'll alleviate the sting.]

Oh..! Oh, well that wasn't very smart of me, was it~?

[Hardly one to be down on himself, he instead brings the cup closer, blowing away the steam and cooling off the coffee at least a little before trying again.

Once he's had time to process the taste, he lets out a sound that's maybe just a little too happy. Clearly the coffee was to his tastes!]

Ooooh, yes~!! That is lovely!

[Video]

[cyan_maid]

Oh!

[Is that relief in her expression? It sure is.]

That's good to hear! In that case, I'd love to hear more about puzzles from such an expert puzzle-maker!

Re: [Video]

[in4apounding]

They involved flying and things? Or just themed after birds or-

Are you going to do that for all the gym leaders?

[modulatingphases]

Sounds like a plan to me. Just make sure you include some of those ones with birds.

Re: [Video]

[coolskeleton_95]

NYEH-HEH-HEH! IT'S GOOD TO FIND A FELLOW ENTHUSIAST! WHICH PUZZLE SHOULD I TELL YOU ABOUT?

[coolskeleton_95]

Y-YOU REALLY LIKE IT???

[mttbrandlegs]

[Mettaton has another sip, nodding with a serene expression on his face. Oh, the sense of taste was really a wonderful one.]

Very much so~ It's so warm!!
