Mettaton DT||MTTDT AU||Crush: (open)||Talking to: Frisk, Faya
Mettaton opened his eyes and blinked twice, forcibly pulling himself into full consciousness. He looked down from his suspended-in-midair hammock to see that Frisk and Faya were at the edge of Snowdin forest, and he smiled. He made the hammock disappear before gently lowering himself to the ground and walking over toward them. Despite not actually needing it, he took a deep breath. As he approached, he waved in greeting. "I'm glad you're here," he said, smiling, but his expression shifted into a serious one. "We need to be ready for what comes next. Chara will likely strike again very soon." He waved his hand over a stump, and one side of it shifted from looking solid to being a mess of code and symbols, though it stayed within the same shape. "From what I can tell, when Chara unravels the code, they do something like this," he explained, touching the strands of code and concentrating on manipulating them. It would be ridiculously easy to just delete it, since the Psi space would cooperate with him, but that wouldn't demonstrate his point. Instead, he used willpower (perhaps one could call it determination, but that word carried too much meaning already) to force the code to bend under his touch, and he pulled a thread of it out, letting that piece dissolve and leaving the rest. "It requires concentration, even when the removed code is dissolving, as the whole of the code seems to have a sort of 'memory' or 'back-up' and will attempt to repair itself." He looked over at the others to see if they understood. "Go ahead and try with some of the stumps there. Tearing away the visual world should be pretty easy for you both, but don't be surprised if you can't remove code on your first try. It took me a while to figure it out."
Frisk Smith||Age 25||Female||Glitched-Looptale AU||Crush: (open)||Talking to: Blueberry Sans
"Oh," Frisk murmured, taking this in. Did this mean she was free from RESETs? ...could she even SAVE and RESET at all anymore?? She shook off these thoughts. There would be time to experiment later. She followed the hyperactive Sans through the town, laughing a bit at his exclamation.
Alphys and Here We Are||Themetale AU||Alphys' crush: (open)||Talking to: Hellen
"I-I don't know about this," Alphys admitted, standing at the door of Hellen's house. She hesitated with her arm in the air, frozen in the moment before knocking.
"Come on," Here We Are said, hovering next to their Bonded. The Theme(s) were always supportive of Alphys, but they knew that she needed some less-than-gentle encouragement to get over her fear of social situations. "Just knock," they insisted. "You've met her before, and she likes you well enough."
"You're r-right," Alphys agreed, finally rapping her knuckles against the door loudly enough that the sound would carry throughout the entire house. She took a step back, waiting.
Here placed their hand(s) on her shoulder.
Sans and Megalovania||Themetale AU||Talking to: (open)
Sans looked up at his Theme, who was hovering above his shoulder. "Is something bothering you?" he asked.
"I miss it... Bonetrousle, I mean," Mega replied, looking down at its Bonded.
"I miss it, too, and Papyrus as well," Sans agreed, looking empty and downcast. "I can't believe they're both gone."
Mega placed its hand on Sans' shoulder, and Sans placed a bony hand on its back.
(Open to anyone--I was thinking Laika?)(My apologies to everyone for being away! I had finals, but they're over now, so I'll have more free time.
Let's plan to do the next timeline attack this weekend if that works for everyone so that we can introduce the other characters of MagicSpyglass.)
