that's not what we usually mean by 'dance with death'
[That certainly did happen. Cherryblod's not the type of person who will judge one person's value as being more than another's, so he can't say whether it was better or worse than the first week. It came as less of a shock, maybe, but even so...
It's not the kind of thing people usually want to go through alone.
So, after he spends some time in the kitchen preparing (with assistance from Bruce), he'll slip some personalized notes under everyone's doors.]
[Name],
If you'd prefer to spend this time alone, that's fine.
If you'd prefer not to, I've made some food and set it out in the dining hall.
Even if you're just hungry and would rather not talk, feel free to come take some.
But if you'd like the company, we're here for you.

[Those arriving in the dining hall will find an assortment of food - a fair number of sandwiches and other, actual meal-like options since most people missed a meal or two, but also a goodly number of desserts. There's tea, as well as coffee for those who favor it.]

is highly uncomfortable, she is turning it another way to get rid of that--]
no subject
[dear god the other way is not any better in terms of hugely uncanny shit
like 'teenaged girl at a one direction concert' levels of high-pitched is not his idea of a good time
but at least after that he's going to have the common sense to back up a bit
god he's going to be fucking with this thing for the next eternity trying to fix that, thanks]
no subject
I can't believe it! You have such an obvious weakness! It's right there!
no subject
[GOD THIS SOUNDS WEIRD AS HELL so much fluctuation holy shit- ]
no subject
[caaaackling, but honestly she's touched. She'll help him find his voice again if he lets her, grinning widely.]
Come on, you're just making it worse since it's upside down to you. I'll fix my own mistakes. Promise.
no subject
[Whyyyyyyy.]
no subject
Just keep talking until I've hit your sweet spot. Got any other interesting stories to tell?
no subject
[He kind of laughs a bit when he says it, though the sound is a bit dry.]
Like I said, I grew up in Waterfall, which is pretty but the exact opposite of interesting. I was raised by my cousins on a snail farm, for crying out loud.
Don't get me wrong, I know a lot of plotlines and how to create entertainment for people. But if you're looking for actual stories like yours...you've actually got me beat in that department, darling.
[...You know, somehow he doubts anyone will believe you even if you tell them that, but still.]
no subject
So you're a total snore, huh? I guess not everyone can have the same amazingly interesting life I've lived. And it's pretty amazing.
Why snails? And what're your cousins like? It's weird to hear you talk about family. Are they robots too?
[At least she's getting to hear him talk while she fluctuates his voice in the rightish positions.]
no subject
[He asks, like that is an explanation in and of itself.]
My cousins...they're all disasters, to be honest. Though most of them left the farm in Waterfall, because they actually decided they wanted to do something with their lives. One of them is still there, though. I was pretty close to them when we were growing up, but not anymore - I haven't spoken to them in ages.
[...Mettaton, that answered, like, nothing.]
no subject
That answered nothing, honey. Why aren't you two close anymore?
no subject
[Not that he's bitter or anything.]
Don't get me wrong, they're...important to me. But if they had their way my life and career would have been on hold indefinitely, and that wasn't something I wanted.
I mean, sure, I promised to stay with them after our other cousins left and I went back on that. Fine. But it's not like it's my fault that I got an opportunity to change things for myself and they weren't willing to do the same.
no subject
[Can't force it one way or the other, from the sounds of it. Though Sigrun's not familiar with siblings and all of her cousins are on the same page as her. What's she know?]
I mean, I don't know how safe you guys are in the Underground -- minus the human that's not going so well -- but it's the same kind of thing with my world, you can't just sit by and let things pass you! You've gotta grab it while it can and the second it comes up! That's how I was chosen by my uncle for the mission I'm supposed to do, I showed initiative.
[... That's a nice way to call it.]
And so did you. So you got to be a star. Even if you have a boring life.
no subject
[It's pretty much performing 24/7, after all.]
I've burned my share of bridges, sure. But it's been worth it - I've never thought that it hasn't been.
no subject
[They're not so different after all, Mettaton.
no they're extremely different that just the only similarity]
Next question: Why a snail farm? What's so good about them? Do you eat them or something? Well, not you you, but you know.
no subject
But apparently some people eat them. Boss monsters, usually - if anyone else does, I don't know about it.
no subject
[Tell her about
HomestuckUndertale.]no subject
There are a few of us in each region that are stronger than the others. At least one of the skeletons in the eastern caverns has potential, and there are a lot of members of the Royal Guard in that area. Undyne is in Waterfall - she's the captain of the guard that I mentioned, she'd love you. And where I work...well, there's me, of course. And my creator is pretty good with magic and technology, but she doesn't fight.
We're all pretty powerful, but we've got nothing on boss monsters.
no subject
[... But the snails could be important. Eat some.
Also look, he sounds normal again. More normal. Not... sultry or anything that was highly uncomfortable. Sigrun pats his chest proudly.]
Are they usually your generals then? The kind of people that'd take care of any problem?
no subject
They're our royalty, actually.
no subject
Yeesh. I'll be real, royalty's an oldworlder thing, we don't have anything like that anymore. They're just super rich to me.
[Super rich with many valuables they're not using anymore.]
How's royalty act? Like the bird or like Caren?
no subject
[Asgore is everybody's dad.]
no subject
I guess they really are just people with big houses.
[Cherry's good people. If royalty's like that, then it's a damn shame that they all died during the rash.]
