You make it sound like you want to get married. Or play it out. Wasn’t that for last month?

[ like the fake weddings from last month hello??? although it’s obvious after a few moments that he’s dodging the question when

he doesn’t answer it ]

[metalcrusher]

[Ah... The unsaid speaks volumes. Mettaton fills in the blank:

Q: Are you convinced you'd never change your mind about marriage?
A: "I don't know."

Perfection.]

Marriage isn't restricted to one month of a year, darling. I can marry whenever I want. And as playful, or as achingly real, as I please.

It's not uncommon for Bonding questions to crop up on the network. What do you look for in a Bonded prospect, Eren, darling? Out of curiosity, and less for matrimonial intrigue.

[usurpers]

[ he never actually thought about that, and in it’s own sense, alone, it bothers him in a way that prods him into thinking how he’s never put much thought into it. should that matter? no, all of his bonds happened on their own, without him searching for something specific in each one. or, hell, maybe he did. he just didn’t realize it. ]

I don’t actively think about it while I’m looking. It just happens.

But the people who I’ve bonded with or considered it most have always been people I could either relate to or have something about them that feels free.

[metalcrusher]

Someone who lets the mood for Bonding strike him... I see. It just takes meeting the perfect candidate and trusting your instinct. Yes, finding someone relatable or free-spirited makes sense for you.

Regarding my question... Did any one of your Bonded come to mind, if you have multiple? What is your Bonded like?

[usurpers]

[ mtt.......... pls ]

If it’s about marriage, it’s still no and never.

I only have one Bond right now. He’s a musician.

[metalcrusher]

Oh, no! I was ONLY trying to zero in on one of your Bonded, darling. Don't be so defensive, you're making me SUSPICIOUS... Ha-ha.

But it turns out you only have the one. A musician! I have to say. I'm a bit surprised... But at the same time, I think the most INTERESTING of Bonded pairs are the ones that shock and startle! I don't imagine you knew each other before arriving here... So which was it? Free, or something in common?

[usurpers]

You're just [ very ] persistent.

Honestly, he reminded me of a friend. It was a Bond out of necessity, too. [ eren needed more magic and elliot didn't want to explode. they got along well enough, so, why not? ] I know they're not the same person now, they have their own differences. And I like them.

[glitzandglamour]

Can't be a successful businessman without being a little persistent!

There's no judgement here about Bonds of necessity. But you didn't say there was a third category for sentimentality! Which, I also don't judge. It's not like I'm much different, myself. A little bit of sentimentality sparked this Bonding, as well.

[usurpers]

[ you remember the last time you tried to sell him something ]

I don't think I've met them.

[glitzandglamour]

[he was totally successful. 100%. SOMEday that seed will bear fruit... like a mutated lemon, perhaps...]

My Bonded? It wouldn't surprise me... given his disinclination for socializing!! He's called Emet-Selch. I met him when we were all being tortured, locked away in the zero-star lodging, courtesy of the Rathmores!

[usurpers]

Opposites do attract.

”Zero-star”?

[metalcrusher]

Haha. That's what I said.

Oh my. You don't know what that means... It's a rating system, darling! In my time, humans ranked establishments, such as restaurants and hotels... on a five-star scale, to determine their class and hospitality! A rating decided by feedback from patrons... Though I wonder if you've ever even seen a four-star establishment. What a shame.

Anyway. Technically, a zero-star establishment doesn't exist... That's just how badly the Rathmores treated us! Ha-ha.

[usurpers]

I don’t mind if I haven’t. There’re nice places here.

So you want to marry them?

[glitzandglamour]

You don't get to rate anything. You live in a cave.

Yes. I intend to take Emet-Selch in wedlock. Maybe you'll meet him someday. He's Bonded to Mikasa, too!

[usurpers]

[ eren stares at that. hard. and nearly leaves it on read. it's a beautiful cave with a beautiful hoard, for your information! ]

Glad she found someone. [ and, he supposes, ] Congratulations.

[glitzandglamour]

[A dingy knife cave with a bunch of tunnels, so he hears... As a Puca, he has even more to say both about architecture, and subterranean architecture.]

Thank you. And I'm glad, too. Considering her earlier... reservations.

[Like the "bond" she was apparently lied to about? Eren?]

Anyway. Maybe someday, I'll get to congratulate you, too! When you stop owing me money.

[usurpers]

[ ✔️✔️ read

you’ll never get him alive ]

[metalcrusher]

[Run while you can, Eren... Mettaton's always counting. It's a thrill to be owed 9,929 cunes.]
