Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide

Who: Mettaton, some closed starters, and YOU!
Where: All around the mansion
When: Throughout the event
Rating: PG-13 unless something happens, upon which this will be changed
Summary: Mettaton is in the no-air-no-problem club, buuut those RESETs are giving him a bit of a run for his money. All well! There’s places to go and things to do, and he’s not gonna let a little water and time shenanigans stop him. …yeah…
The Story:

A.

[It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s…. what the hell is that. A rectangular submarine??? If you’re attempting to swim through the halls, have your door open to stare at the water, or if there is a window in your room to the hallway, you’ll catch sight of this robot in a different form propelling himself through the water. Maybe he’s carrying food in a water-tight container. Maybe he’s transporting someone’s pets or other things that need to be moved. Maybe he’s coming to “save” you! (Save being the operative word, depending on if you actually want to see him… and if he’ll be helpful or not.)

Either way, he’s here now. Or passing by. Wanna say hi?]

B.

Swimming through the mansion can be a bit tiring. Especially with the magic reinforcement that is partially behind his water-proofing, is draining his charge pretty quickly. So here he is, chilling out in some random empty room. Don’t worry, he doesn’t breathe; no air is being lost. Maybe he stumbled into your room or maybe you’re stumbling into whatever room he is relaxing in. Either way, here is a dripping wet robot at your disposal. ;)

C.

[Listen. A lot can happen in 5 minutes, right? I bet even MORE can happen if you repeat the same 5 minutes over and over and over and over and over….

Our lovely robot is stuck in a rather persistent RESET that is determined to make Mettaton repeat the last 5 minutes of his life. Why not keep him company and/or get trapped in it yourself! The world is your resetting oyster now that the water has leaked out of the mansion.]

D.
Wild card! Got an idea for your character and Mettaton? Throw it up here and we can go, ha, wild!

((ooc: while one of these prompts is specific for the resets, any prompt can have them involved if you want! Either indicate it in your subject or put it in your description and we can play around with it!))

[He’s running low on energy and thinks that, perhaps, he won’t be able to move for a little while. This wouldn’t be a problem if his child’s rabbit, Bun, wasn’t rapidly running out of air. Rabbits breathe faster than humans, and he’s noticed the amount of air rapidly decreasing in the room. He doesn’t know what to do. Mini keeps tugging on his arm and pointing to the door and he doesn’t know how to explain this. Death is unknown to them, and he feels this is a heavy conversation to have on top of everything else happening with this event. Never mind that getting Bun this far was already a challenge. Mini beeps quietly and Mettaton puts a gentle hand on their head.

He looks to the door. Suffocation or drowning. Either way, he loses.]

[Opening your door to see a wall of water is certainly a way to wake up in the morning. It’s such a way as to make you just. Slowly close the door again. And go back into your room and not mind it.

But then he sees posts on the Network. The water is cutting off oxygen in the rooms. Huh. Well, that sucks for everyone else, but he is at least ok.

And then he remembers Alphys and shoots her a text.]

Alphys. Are you all right?

[ Cullen can make it to the next floor.

He can make it to the next floor.

He is almost there, and he can make it to the next floor.

He makes it to the next floor, and tears open the first door he can grasp.

(He should have stopped for breath on the previous floor.)

Cullen spills into the room, coughing and gasping for breath. His clothes cling to him, drenched, and his hair's natural curls are finally freed, a dripping mess of blond noodles that obstructs his view.

He pulls himself to his knees, and pulls them out of his face. Cullen glances back and, with relief, sees that his supply bag made it in better condition than he did.

He does not yet see that he shares the room with somebody else. ]

[ooc: stuck in a room bc of the water??]

[Bucky is getting better with the events. He knows to wait them out, they'll be over and done with eventually. He just has to survive while they run their course. Obviously, he plans to do this alone or with Steve and the others, but before he's checked with everybody, made sure they're okay, the water comes rushing towards him and he gets in the first safe room he can.

..Of course. He knows this room, doesn't know why his feet had taken him in this direction at all. He turns back to see if he can open the door, water spills in and he slams it shut. They'd tried the windows, the closets, the door again, but the only way out is to let all the water in and swim - he's not ready to take that risk yet. So they sit. Bucky in a corner of the room, hands in his lap.

He glances up at the robot, huffs, and turns towards the wall. Bucky pulls out his phone and shoots off a few texts.

He doesn't even feel guilty for ignoring him, except he does.]
