"Hello there! I see you were trying to reach me! What a wonderful idea! Sadly, the great Papyrus is unavailable to take your call at the moment, but that's okay! I'll probably call you back in about a minute, so go ahead and state your name and business!"
((OOC note: Papyrus nearly always answers on the first ring, so you can also go ahead and play it like that happened if you like.))

The small ghost floats a little higher, just so he can look Papyrus eye-to-eye.]
To start off with, thank you very much for all of those messages you sent me. I really appreciated your concern. [He smiles a little.] And I was happy to see you back. It was...terribly upsetting to be on a ship without you, even if it was for a short time.
I couldn't bear it, to tell you the truth. That's why I was so upset, and made poor decisions as a result.
[He...won't really go into detail there though, because he doesn't want Papyrus to feel even the least bit guilty for inspiring such violent behaviors in him just by dying. That wasn't fair.]
Anyway, the point is...darling, I have had plenty of time to think about this, and I believe that I am...
...Well, that is--I really like you. Quite a bit, actually.

Date: 2016-07-15 05:21 am (UTC)Well.
It just feels nice, like a warmth that blossoms deep in his bones. Mettaton cares about him. Missed him when he was gone. It was okay that he did something foolish while he was upset, Sans did that sort of thing too sometimes. And he'd be a poor morale officer if he didn't know how to help people discover the good even in the worst of what was happening, right?
Somehow, the last bit has him grinning even more. He liked to imagine his greatness being noticed by Mettaton, back when he lived in the Underground and watched all his movies and bought everything with MTT on the label, but everything that's happened on the ship has felt like dreams coming true. He and Mettaton really are cool friends. They hang out and cheer each other on and it's just...
It's been great. Having friends is even better than he imagined.]

Date: 2016-07-15 05:22 am (UTC)4/4 sorry
Date: 2016-07-15 05:23 am (UTC)You have great taste in skeletons!!!
and the nerdery continues
Date: 2016-07-15 05:33 am (UTC)It's got him smiling brighter than he had been for quite a while.
But...Papyrus is a little bit optimistic in a way that Mettaton also feels the need to make sure they're on the same page.]
Of course I do, I have only the best taste in potential...boyfriend material.
[Did he just say that? God. How many times can someone embarrass themselves in less than two weeks?!]
Do you think I'm boyfriend material, darling?
[He tries to look flirty, but he's a ghost. It probably looks ridiculous.]

Date: 2016-07-15 05:51 am (UTC)This is... nothing like the date he went on with Starflight! That had been so much fun, but in the end they'd walked away as friends. He'd been so relieved to find that Starflight was able to get over his no-doubt crushing disappointment and accept the friendship with grace.
And then there was Palatino. Well... the less said about that, the better, probably. He should have listened when the others told him the hidden skeleton was lousy at not killing people on sight.
But now here he is, with someone he truly likes. Who likes him back. And yes, the familiar attractive robot is very nice, but he's starting to think Mettaton's pretty great in every form, humanoid or rectangle or secret ghost.
He's pretty sure the book he read on relationships and dating considered these things important!]
O-of course I do! I always thought you were the greatest! Prestigious! Spectacular! That's Mettaton!
[he's not excited and kind of scared what are you even talking about surely those aren't his bones rattling so much suddenly]
And if you're offering a date, then... I, Papyrus, will accept!!

Date: 2016-07-15 06:00 am (UTC)What is he supposed to do now? God, he hadn't really planned it this far at all, but does this really require planning?! It's real life, not a show. Maybe he should learn to be just as candid as Papyrus, with no hangups!
Mettaton darts forward, giving Papyrus his best approximation of an excited hug. It would be better if his arms could reach, but it's the thought that counts, right?]
Oh, darling!! You're so sweet!!! Yes, I'll take you on a date just as soon as I can arrange it!!
[Hah. There he is! Despite the undoubtedly diminutive and feminine tone of his voice, this was Mettaton in all his glory!]
