MTT-BRAND VLOG!: #1 - Hello, lovelies! ♥

[showybusiness]

[ There's a ridiculously good-looking, well-polished and styled android on the screen. Or is it an android? For some folks who have - SOMEHOW - not heard of him or seen him, Mettaton looks feminine enough to be mistaken for a lady robot. The flawless metal-safe eyeliner, purple gradient eyeshadow and lip gloss doesn't help, but dang.

He gives a thousand-watt smile, giving a cute little wave at the camera while winking, his voice silky, a little campy, but clearly male - and with a noticeable synthetic, artificial sound to it. Tinny, almost. Like when a computer's text-to-voice program is used, but not nearly as flat and unsexy. ]

Welcome to MTT-Brand Vlogs, number one! Goodness, it's like I get to talk to my diary rather than write it! I like this little charming piece of technology. If only I could do a bit more editing... and having guests on is a little tougher, maybe? Hmm. These are all just usual little bumps and kinks to work out, aren't they, darlings?

Aaaaaanyway! It seems you surfacers are requiring a bit of education and introduction to monster culture. It's funny, you know - in monster history, for hundreds of years, we learned about how humans sealed us underground, blah blah blah. But up here, nobody knows! Did your historians cover it all up? I know they're a LOT more fond of pumping out bad cartoons rather than telling that story.

I'll forgive you, though, because you're all so cute. And I'm here to promote things! So, if you want to do the right thing and help a handsome, sexy robot from the monster world, you SHOULD check out the tv show he's hosting! That's right, darlings from all over the world: GLAM CAM! Is the imPort Gossip Show, and I, the gorgeous Mettaton, will be hosting it every week! Lots of juicy little secrets and embarrassments are waiting to be put out onto the stage!

See you soon, darlings!

[ He blows a little kiss at the viewer, batting his long, perfect eyelashes. ]

[The video feed flicks on and off at first...before settling upside down for two seconds.

The young woman who appears on the feed frowns, then taps at the screen, which flips right side up]

Hello...Whoever can see this. I am Lady Knight Keladry.

The paperwork I was given wasn't very forth-coming. [on anything at all important]

I'll admit I'm lost in a lot of ways, but could someone explain [she looks at the sheaf of papers in her hand again, a small crease forming between her eyebrows]

video!

A question for the masses!

[ Klarion holds one of those chalk-flavoured Valentine's Day candy hearts up to the camera, so closely that it takes up most of the screen. ]

I've always wondered, these aren't meant to resemble actual hearts, are they? They look nothing like internal organs, it's as if whoever designed them has never seen one in person!

( cut for a kinda gross, body-horrorish extension of that train of thought! )

[Asher's life has gone through a considerable amount of change since he's got here. One would think that being exposed to a variety of different people from all walks of life would lead him to live life with a more open mind. It's happening, somewhat, although at a very steady pace. Navigating life as a somewhat decent person is proving to be more tricky than it should be, but then again, the considerable amount of white privilege and ignorance he's been raised with will take an entire lifetime to wash out completely.

Nevertheless, he's found himself doubting a few things lately.]

question

[As stupid as it seems, he's actually considering not sending this shitty, unnecessary text to the entire network. Whiskey, however, is a terrible thing to imbibe when it comes to making life decisions.]

[God bless autocorrect, am I right?]

ACT VI - video;

[ Max is in his Museum of Folklore uniform, the red cap on his head clashing something awful with the khaki shirt, but he's long since resigned himself to the clash and so should you. Behind him is part of the display on the Epic of Gilgamesh, and he's got a bottled water in his free hand as he talks, grinning into the camera. ]

So guys, you all know I work at the Museum of Folklore, right? I had an idea I wanna run by my bosses if I can get enough info on it. Like, a display on heroes from ImPort worlds. Or even a whole exhibit, if I can get eno_ugh —

[ Max stops mid-sentence, looking a little mortified at the sudden crack in his voice. He pauses to take a drink of water and collects himself quickly, clearing his throat before he speaks again. ]

Enough... enough stuff.

Do you guys have any old legends where you come from? You know, the kind of stories that get passed down through the generations about heroes and gods and the like? I'm looking specifically for stuff that might be unique to your world, but anything is great. You can tell me about them over the network or we can meet at the museum.

With everything going on, I think it's... really important to remember where we came from, you know? And this would be a great way to learn abo_ut — a-about each other, too.

[ He looked like he might have said more, but his cheeks turn pink at that second crack in his voice. He takes another sip of water and cuts the video there. ]
