video; un: METTATON
Name: Mettaton
Date: 02/20
Format: video
Warnings: mention of death (he's better now!), talk of the recent event (Cwyld, kidnappings)
[Propped up against a plain pillow in the Coven's infirmary is Mettaton. His manner is languid, slow, and his rabbit ears are in such poor shape that they no longer stand anymore, sore-ridden and flopped over. Cradled against his shoulder and chest is a man's head, dark haired with a shock of white at his bangs, fast asleep.
Ears aside, his hair... is perfect. He flashes a photogenic smile otherwise interrupted by rabbit-like teeth.]
Hey there, beauties! It's Mettaton again, coming to you live from the... infirmary. [Not very glamorous, suggests his flat tone.] My sincerest apologies to those of you who've encountered me over the past few weeks. I haven't been in my right mind!! And not only that, but I was infected with the Cwyld. It was horrible. Terrible! Disturbing! To clear things up: I don't actually endorse contracting the Cwyld. In fact... Oh my. I died, thanks in part to it.
In the end, I was offed by one of you lovely darlings, before I... Before it got too bad. I was told it was a duo! [Mettaton tilts his head.] If that encounter sounds familiar, get in touch, gorgeous! I want to thank you personally. I promise I don't bite much... Haha.
[The idol pauses heavily, stuck with a smile. This is the more taxing part of his broadcast, and there's a flash of remorse in his gaze. Mettaton is a practiced face, however, so he's able to pull himself together with startling ease despite the overall tone.]
I'm sure many of you know Mikasa Ackerman. It seems... she's departed all too recently. I looked for her. Everywhere. Trust me. [Mettaton sighs; it's clear he's trying to remain composed enough for conversation, but he allows a measure of genuine sorrow to soften his expression.] She's... one of my best friends. She's a remarkable human who never fails to entrance me, no matter how quiet and stoic. She's powerful, protective, and fierce, and you'd know what I meant if you've met her. She's amazing enough to dazzle yours truly!!
...I tried to tell Eren about Mikasa, but I couldn't reach him, either. If anyone knows where... if he's still here, would you be a dear and let me know? He still owes me money!!
[Mettaton smirks playfully, but it fades as he continues.]
Well. Ahem. As some of you may have known, Mikasa and Eren live in a perilous world. It didn't sound... [Mettaton glances aside, disturbed.] I can't help but wonder if she... If they'll be all right.
[A surprisingly thoughtful silence follows, but Mettaton's quick to shake off his reverie with a quiet sigh and a hard blink. He puts his best face forward and continues, addressing more the rest of the Mirrorbound.]
Speaking of perilous... After a week of disappearances, sickness, and kidnapping alike, how are you all doing? Talk to me, darlings. You aren't going this alone!

[Mettaton's face is drawn in slight annoyance, making for an aggressive smile. He wouldn't have pointed out her swearing if it weren't about him, though...]
But, yes. Try as I may to look my beautiful best... My ears aren't at their most magnificent. [He looked so much worse earlier. He doesn't mention that.] Because, while you were traveling, many of us were being kidnapped, mind controlled, or otherwise inflicted with the Cwyld by a mysterious cult!
[Okay. This is about the point where Mettaton's worked out his spite at being insulted. He blinks hard, and his tone evens out.]
I wasn't kidnapped myself... but I did catch a severe case of the Cwyld. It doesn't discern between human and robot, it would seem. With as full as I hear the infirmary is, I'm sure lots of other Mirrorbound are laid up in here, too. For injury or illness, who can say!
no subject
A cult? That sounds serious. Is everybody okay?
[ Wait. ]
I mean... Obviously not everybody is okay, if the infirmary is so full, but like... people aren't still in trouble, are they?
no subject
No. Not in the sense that anybody's kidnapped any longer. As I understand it, everyone's been rescued by now. If anything, your luck is enviable. Taking a trip during the thick of things... How fortunate.
Still. If you know anybody well, it would do to check in on them, darling.
no subject
[ Still, she feels a little guilty. She could have tried to help, had she been here.
If nothing else, it cements her desire to start branching out into learning Divination spells for real. If she could only see the future again, she'd be able to see the bad things coming and try to prevent them from happening. ]
I will. I'm gonna check on all my friends. Thanks.
And, uh. Good luck getting better soon!
