[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.]]

Yaaay Papy! You're the best! Better than the rest!

...Did you just try to give the gym leader puzzles?

[It's said without judgement, without mockery - just very, very curiously.]

[video]

[mttbrandlegs]

Aww honey!! Good job! Now we match!!

[Mettaton decides not to critique Papyrus on rubbing Falkner's loss into his face. It's kind of adorable how very enthusiastic he is, alright?]

D'AWW, THANK YOU, DRACY!

Re: [Video]

[coolskeleton_95]

OF COURSE I DID! WHAT KIND OF GYM DOESN'T HAVE A GOOD PUZZLE!? [Luckily, he's not as much as a dumpster diver as Undyne and Alphys, so he'll miss that binder getting the boot.]

Re: [video]

[coolskeleton_95]

[HE CALLED ME HONEY HOLY SHIT WHAT DO]

W-WELL, OF COURSE! THE GREAT PAPYRUS NEVER REALLY LOSES! ERM, BUT YOU ALSO EARNED THE ZEPHYR BADGE, METTATON?

[mttbrandlegs]

Of course I did!! I have goals, darling!!

[He flashes his own badge in front of the camera, grinning proudly. #humblebrag, right?]

I'm only disappointed that I haven't gotten further than this by now!! Oh well, all in good time, right?

[coolskeleton_95]

OF COURSE! AFTER ALL, FROM WHAT I'VE READ, PREPARING FOR THE FIRST GYM IS THE TOUGHEST! THE REST APPEAR TO BE MUCH EASIER!

HOWEVER, NOW THAT WE'VE BOTH OBTAINED BADGES, WE SHOULD SEE IF FRISK IS READY TO MOVE ONWARDS!

[mttbrandlegs]

Yes, yes! We can get to that in due time!!! But seeing as we've both gotten our badges, I'd say it's a momentous occasion, wouldn't you?

Let's go have a drink somewhere--my treat, of course!!

[Why not celebrate?]

[coolskeleton_95]

[!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

W-WELL, I DON'T SEE WHY NOT! WHERE TO?

[mttbrandlegs]

I'm sure we'll find somewhere if we just look!! Scenic walks through small towns don't bother you do they? Because that's what I was hoping for!!

[As if Mettaton particularly cares; he'd still drag his cute little fan around!]

Oh--by the way, give me a few minutes to meet you! I'm at the Poké-Mart!

[coolskeleton_95]

OH! RIGHT! OF COURSE! WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEET AT THE POKEMON CENTER? MY FRIENDS NEED A QUICK HP REGAIN!

[mttbrandlegs]

Certainly!! I'll see you there!! Toodles~

[Mettaton gives a little wave before ending the feed. From there, he finishes up his purchases and makes his way to the Pokémon Center, a sizable shopping bag in tow. He can sort it all into his pack later, for now he's excited for the mutual ego-stroking that was bound to come out of this whole gym thing.

You got a badge, he got a badge. EVERYBODY'S GREAT!!

He doesn't take too long to reach the Center, and immediately searches for Papyrus, assuming that he hadn't beaten the former skeleton there!]

[cyan_maid]

[Oh noooooo]

Do you often make puzzles, sir?

Re: [Video]

[coolskeleton_95]

NYEH-HEH-HEH! BUT OF COURSE! HOW ELSE WOULD SNOWDIN TOWN REMAIN PROTECTED FROM INTRUDING HUMANS?

[coolskeleton_95]

[Paps is just getting his Pokemon back from Nurse Joy when Mettaton enters.]

M-METTATON! HELLO! [Cue exaggerated waving!]

[Video]

[cyan_maid]

[. . .]

I...don't know how effective puzzles are to humans, especially ones who enjoy doing them, but I suppose that means you're quite experienced in puzzles yourself!

[Puzzles.

About birds.

Zack likes you already.]

Those puzzles sound pretty interesting. Still got any of them lying around?

[veggie_vamp]

You see, you can do anything you put your mind to!

Re: Video

[coolskeleton_95]

NYEH-HEH-HEH! BUT OF COURSE! THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED!

[mttbrandlegs]

[Ah! There he is~ Mettaton strides right over and while he would have given Papyrus a hug in congratulations because he's a touchy sort of guy...he didn't want to make the guy freak out. So instead, he goes with a smile and a hand on the shoulder.]

Hi, sweetheart!! Congratulations on getting your badge!! I'm so proud of you!!!

Re: [Video]

[coolskeleton_95]

MY BEST HUMAN FRIEND, FRISK LOVED SOLVING MY PUZZLES! SOMETIMES WE DO THE JUNIOR JUMBLE TOGETHER!

[coolskeleton_95]

NYEH-HEH-HEH-HEH-HEH-HEH-HEH!!!!

I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT THE GREAT PAPYRUS ALWAYS HAS A PREPARED PLETHORA OF PERPLEXING PUZZLES JUST WAITING FOR A PUZZLE ENTHUSIAST TO SOLVE THEM!
