[OPEN] Is it mayhem or just an ego trip? But only one can win

[mettatonvevo]

Who: Mettaton and YOU, WONDERLAND!
What: Mettaton’s birthday!
When: August 16th, 7pm to 9pm
Where: First floor, Room 50/52
Rating: W for WILD PARTY (Ok no more like PG-13 just in case)
Summary: Mettaton has a birthday party that involves creating an entire theater for his first ever Wonderland performance!

The Story:

On every wall in Wonderland (and quite a few statues and pillars) citizens will find a poster bearing the beautiful visage of resident robotic star, Mettaton! Emblazoned across the top of it are the letters M-T-T in sparkling gold inks, surrounded by an oddly rectangular robot, with one wheel sticking out the bottom. Anyone who knows will recognize that the arms look the same as Mettaton’s regular arms and could hazard a guess that the rectangle is supposed to be him?

Below that, there is a picture of Mettaton posing with a mic stand with a singular spotlight shining down on him. Below THAT, there are words:

HELLO BEAUTIES AND GENTLEBEAUTIES OF WONDERLAND! IT’S YOUR RESIDENT HEARTTHROB AND CELEBRITY DELIGHT’S BIRTHDAY TODAY! THIS NIGHT ONLY, COME TO ROOM 50 ON THE FIRST FLOOR FOR AN INAUGURAL PERFORMANCE BY YOURS TRULY!

COME MARVEL AT WONDERLAND’S NEW THEATER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS! AFTER MY PERFORMANCE AT 7PM ANY AND ALL ARE WELCOME TO BRING THEIR DREAMS TO THE STAGE!

NO PRESENTS REQUIRED; ONLY YOUR PRESENCE! THOUGH THEY CERTAINLY WON’T BE TURNED DOWN!

FOOD AND DRINK WILL BE PROVIDED THANKS TO THE KINDNESS OF WONDERLAND’S BOTTOMLESS KITCHEN

NEVER SAY I’VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING FOR YOU, DARLINGS~! ♥

((OOC: While this is a party for Mettaton, it’s still a party. Feel free to make your own open top levels for any portion of this extravaganza!))

Thank you, dear. It helps that Wonderland does its best to make sure you get your fill.

[The number of arguments he had gotten into with these bare rooms were more than worth the end result.]

I certainly could! If I do, you should consider joining me! I've missed my favorite co-star performing with me.

[determinedest]

I don't know how to play any instruments!

[The words come out in a startled squeak, flattered as they are by the invitation, "favorite co-star" is a bit overwhelming. His favorite? But...they're just them.]

[mettatonvevo]

Well, we're all trapped here, right? That gives you plenty of time to learn a new instrument!

[He can certainly wait. They've got all the time in the world.]

[determinedest]

Do you...could you teach me?

[They almost wish they could snatch the question back as soon as they ask it - why would he give them anything after the way they've treated him? But - but he knows music, doesn't he? He can certainly sing, and instrumentation is like...singing but through your fingers, right? Totally.]

[mettatonvevo]

Depends on the instrument, but if worst comes to worse and you choose an instrument I don't know how to play, we can always learn it together! It's good to have a large repertoire of instruments you can play.

[It's not really fair to talk about learning something together when he could theoretically just download it into his brain and have the rest of him catch up with what his body can do, but he would consider learning the old fashioned way if it would help Frisk.]

[determinedest]

[They planned on dismissing the question right away, so they're unprepared for him to actually answer, and even more unprepared to find themselves answering back, eagerly:]

Have you ever played something like a...a ukulele, or a guitar?

[mettatonvevo]

I have some experience with the guitar! Not so much with the ukulele, though I should think it has some of the same principles!

[A ukulele, huh? That seems like something Frisk would be interested in.]

[determinedest]

Y-yeah. I've kind of wanted to learn to play, a little bit. Sans knows trombone and Undyne knows piano, so...I wanna learn something with strings.

[Their hands might be too small, but they'd still like to try.]

[mettatonvevo]

Sounds like you were already planning your own band! Well, I certainly won't stand in the way of progress. I'll do what I can to help you learn ukulele and if my knowledge runs out, we'll whisk away to the library and see what it has.

[When in doubt, read a book, I guess]

[determinedest]

Y...yeah. Okay!

[They sound more and more enthusiastic about it by the moment, aided in no small part by Mettaton's own seeming excitement.]

Thanks!

[mettatonvevo]

You're welcome, Frisk! Now, could I interest you in an after show meal? There is plenty of food at the buffet tables with all manner of tastes!

[He gestures towards the two tables on the other side of the room, grinning broadly.]

[determinedest]

Of course you may!

[They skipped dinner for this, since they figured they could bank on some kind of snack being present. And their assumption was correct!]

[mettatonvevo]

Fantastic! There's quite an array of foods and this time they don't have glitter. Wonderland wouldn't let me.

[He leads them off to the tables, chattering all the way and adjusting the scarf around his neck to make sure it never falls off or looks out of place.]
