[OPEN] now that's real, real, real

Who: Alphys, Mettaton, and YOU!
Where: The bathhouse, outside the safe zone
When: During the Shadow event (Nov 17th-20th)
Rating: PG/PG-13 for possible sex jokes. I'm sorry in advance.
Summary: Alphys and Mettaton try to get out there and face their shadows. Unfortunately, their Shadows decide a tag-team might be a better use of their time, and not in the way anyone really wants.
The Story:

i. [shadows] boy toy named troy used to live in detroit

[Somewhere, a few floors up in the bathhouse, the sound of Alphys and Mettaton screaming can be heard. It’s unmistakably horrified, painting a picture that these two might be in danger, and certainly could use a rescue.

Of course, the situation, once someone comes upon it, is rather different. The real Alphys and Mettaton stand at one end of the room, looking aghast; Alphys’ screaming is slightly muffled by virtue of her hands being crammed over her mouth, and Mettaton’s hands are over his eyes, fingers not quite blocking the scene. They’re looking across the room, to where another Alphys and Mettaton stand, looking less horrified and a little more a different word that starts with ‘ho’. Shadow Alphys and Mettaton are caught in each other’s arms, lips locked, messily kissing in a way that suggests neither of them care who’s watching. The Shadows finally break from each other, faces close, tilting their heads back towards the pair of reals near the doorway as the fake Alphys speaks first.]


Mm, Metta, I might have to fix your fan after this, you’re burning up.

Oh, I’ll always run hot for you, baby.


[They immediately go back to pressing their faces together, eliciting another round of screaming and ‘NO NO NO NO’ from the reals. This only seems to egg the shadows on further.

Someone put an end to this. These crushes are years old and this is the worst possible outcome for them both.]

ii. [safe zone] this dude named michael used to ride motorcycles

[If anyone wants to find these two later in the event, they can both be found in the safe zone, either together or separately as the rest of the event goes by. They seem… not too intent to go back in there, though might be a little hesitant to actually talk about why. Regardless, they’re present, should someone need to find them.]

[ooc: The first prompt is a 3 way thread, but please specify if you want Alphys, Mettaton, or both for the safe zone! You can reach out to us on plurk at [plurk.com profile] cancerously and [plurk.com profile] pbmajesty if you have any questions or want a closed prompt.]

Ah...

[What... is she supposed to say to this nonsense?! She wants it burnt from her eyeballs but now she knows she'll be seeing it every time she closes her eyes!]

B-But... didn't Alphys make Mettaton's body? Doesn't that kind of make her his...?

[Well, maybe not 'mom', but something close???]
mettatonvevo: (WELL THEN)

[Mettaton cries out.]

No! This isn't like that! I mean, yes, it looks like that but this isn't-

[His shadows interrupts with a loud cough.]

Oh darling, does it matter what she thinks? Aren't you so tired of hiding how we are? We have so much love and so much pomp, why hold back anymore? People will love us! And those who don't will die!

[The shadow's grin grows malicious in nature as he places his face next to his shadow companion's face.]

It's been awhile since I've done that, hasn't it been, my sweet Alphys? Do you want me to dust a few people? I know when I do it can be very... exciting.

[His voice drops into low, husky tones, clearly intending to be seductive. Mettaton, meanwhile, gaps at him.]

You did not just say that.

[Targets??? Die??? Dust??? OKAY, there is no time to be shocked and grossed out when they're being threatened. Sure, seeing Mettaton hurts like hell after breaking his promise, and her heart at the same time, but she's not just going to stand there and let people she cares about get killed.]

P-Please stop!

[And just like that, she's between the Reals and the Shadows, arms out, as if that would somehow protect anyone.]

Hurting someone w-won't make them accept you! If you're really any part of M-Mettaton and Alphys... You don't want to hurt people!

[Not on purpose, anyway, that still stings.]

Please... You can say whatever you want, but hurting them won't make them want to listen to you. And that can't be what you want!

[The shadow grins, turning his viciousness towards Mikan.]

How well do you know these two if you really think they don't want to hurt people? I take pleasure in the crushing of those who get in my way. And I know under the right circumstances here, the Mettaton you know would do the same.

[Mettaton gapes but... doesn't immediately refute him. The shadow smirks.]

[And Mikan can't deny it at all either, with her most recent emotional wounds thanks to mettaton.]

... Yeah. I know. I know what they can do... But in the end.. in Wonderland... That can be said of anybody. We all have really dark, terrible things underneath us. And sooner or later, it comes out.

... But the darkness isn't a constant. There are good traits about them... It's those good traits you love about them, isn't it? Not the potential to be cruel. But the potential to be kind. We all make choices every day... and they choose to make the right ones. They don't always get it right... but doesn't effort count for anything?

[The shadow Mettaton is surprisingly polite in that he allows Mikan to finish her speech before tut tutting lightly.]

Effort means something, surely, but... denying who you are? Denying this? That seems a bit silly and foolish.

[Mettaton looks to Mikan and looks to Alphys, then back to the shadows.]

...Mikan is right. There are good and bad traits to everyone. Even if you fail and slip up...

[He sends a glance to Mikan and then looks back to the shadows.]

You can still come back from it. The effort to get better, be better, is worth it. At least it is to me.

[Recovery, bettering yourself- neither of those are a straight line. It's something that's slowly been sinking in over Mettaton's time here in Wonderland. He doesn't know if Mikan will ever forgive him for what he did but the best thing he can do for her is to be better so he doesn't hurt her again. Or at least, is less likely to.

The shadow gags a little and looks to his companion.]


Did this suddenly turn into a Sunday morning cartoon special or is it just me?
