Paper Faces on Parade

[happysweets]

[ Okay, so, assuming everyone got a crossword and an invite on Tuesday, one would assume that pretty much everyone knows that Misa's planning something. A sign on the door of the music room will indicate as much, a nice big "KEEP OUT PLEASE ♥" to make sure everything's set up just right before the festivities start. The tables are set up just right for snacks and all, the stage is set, the room is even decorated with hand-made streamers and lots of bright ribbons from the art room! When Misa goes hard, she goes hard, apparently. The floor isn't exactly a dance floor, but it should be nice enough that people can dance if they want to, and though she had a really hard time pushing everything around to make the perfect amount of space, it looks like it's about as good as it's going to get.

The guests'll be happy to know there aren't any penalty snacks this time around; nothing set out on the table looks gross or horribly out of place like at Truth or Dare. Everything looks pretty cute, actually; between the desserts and the actual cocktails set out, she and Aqua kind of outdid themselves in terms of meal planning. As for the host herself, she'll obviously be running around too, making sure everything's going okay; one would think that between prepping the food and the party itself, she wouldn't have much time to get herself all dolled up, but a model always has to look her best! And Misa certainly isn't giving anything less than 110 percent, between her short black dress and her ma-- jesus Misa save some glitter for everyone else

In any case, the party is definitely intended to be a late-night affair! And all are welcome, so feel free to come in and dance the night away! Misa even has a bunch of masks in different colors made for people who didn't have time to make one themselves, so don't be shy to grab one and have fun! ]

Right, because monsters' souls are colorless. I'm sure yours is still lovely.

[He hasn't gotten to see it directly (although he's pretty sure it's in that tank with the heart in it), but it's Mettaton's so obviously it's gorgeous.]

[ratingspoint]

...I've let Sigrun see it.

[He isn't entirely sure why he says it; it's just...something that he feels like he wants to tell someone?

Feelings are hard.]

She likes it, when we do that.

[cherryblooded]

I'm sure she does. [He takes a moment to put together what he says next.]

I'm not a monster, so I can't say exactly what it's like for you, but for people who can't see souls, they have a lot of... mm, significance isn't the right word. Something that defines someone, more than their body or mind, but you can never actually see it - it's very personal, what people feel about their souls. For me, sharing that would be - intimate, I suppose.

[ratingspoint]

...It's not something that most monsters can do like I can, anyway. But I think it would be intimate for them too. Just for a different reason.

[This admittedly isn't something he's thought about before, so it's going to take him a second.]

Your soul isn't what defines you. Not like your mind or your body does. Your soul is you, but it isn't what decides what you can be. That's...everything else.

[You know. Mind, body, situation, your possibly terrible life choices, all that.]

But your soul is what keeps you alive, and it's what lets you feel things. Usually I don't care if people see it. I have magic I can use to defend myself, even like that. But I don't have that here.

Letting someone see something like that while you can't defend yourself is... It's vulnerable. And that's what's intimate about it.

[cherryblooded]

[Mettaton is doing so well at feelings and deep thoughts today. Cherryblod's proud of him.]

Can imagine it would be. It'd have to be someone I trusted completely, if it were me choosing to make myself vulnerable.

I'm glad Sigrun is like that for you.

[Somebody he can trust without second thought.]

[ratingspoint]

...About the only thing I didn't completely trust her to do was not squeeze it somehow.

[Because seriously, that was either going to go completely well, or she was going to try to squeeze it, and he would not have been surprised by the latter.]

[cherryblooded]

Ow.

[His antennae droop in sympathy. He doesn't have a soul that's squeezable, obviously, but he does have parts that hurt like hell if you pull on them.]

[ratingspoint]

She didn't! I wouldn't have let her do it again if she did.

[That would...probably not have been his idea of a good time? Who knows, it might have ended up his idea of a good time, he's masochistic.]

[cherryblooded]

[Things Cherryblod doesn't want to know about Mettaton: that.

He does perk up at hearing that though.]

Well, I'm glad to hear your soul-touching went well, no one was injured, and everyone involved had a good time.
