"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.))

[Papyrus might regret asking for clarification, because as soon as he's given leeway, Mettaton lets it all out.]

It started with that awful boy, Kaworu!! He...he said things about me, that I substitute the love of my fans for the love of those close to me and he accused me of fearing true personal connections!!

[It may have been true at some point, but clearly Mettaton has absolutely no qualms with sharing it now. If he weren't in such a state, he might actually be surprised how easily he's sharing right now.]

I wanted to talk to Frisk about it, but they--it wasn't their fault, they were trying to explain the little rat's actions to me, and I insinuated...I insinuated they didn't care about me at all! I know that's not true, but I said it nonetheless, and they haven't responded!

[At some point, his face had ended up hidden against Papyrus' shoulder once more. He's so frustrated he could scream!!]

[Oh nooo. The dating manual didn't say anything about this! What do you do when your robot ghost boyfriend gets in fights with people you like??

Heck.]

Oh... that's... that's terrible! You poor thing!

[He rubs Mettaton's back, looking roughly 500% lost.]

I don't think they meant any harm! Kaworu has a very unique way of looking at things, and Frisk has had a lot of bad things happen lately, and I'm sure they still think you're great! You are great, and so are they!!

[PLEASE DON'T BE MAD AT EACH OTHER GUYS HE LIKES ALL THREE OF YOU VERY MUCH.]

[Maybe it was because he knew that he screwed up with Frisk, or maybe it was just because Mettaton tended to give Papyrus a lot of slack when it came to saying disagreeable things.

Either way, he's not overly insulted by the skeleton straining to defend all three sides of this confrontation. It's admirable. It's right.

And it was good to be comforted physically. Mettaton appreciated that quite a lot.]

I know Frisk didn't. I'd rather not think on the other matter. I'll simply have to apologize to them for my awful behavior. They have been through a lot of negative things and I never wanted to add to it.

[SEE? Even 500% lost, just being there is helping, Papyrus!! Success?!]

[GOOD ENDING GET. Papyrus is feeling a little more comfortable about this already.]

I don't think your behavior was awful! It's okay to get grumpy and shout at people or fight them, as long as they still know you care about them.

[After all, his relationships with Sans and Undyne were hardly peaceful at times.]

After all, that's part of what makes us monsters!

[mttbrandlegs]

[That's pretty much enough to bring Mettaton down from his explosion of emotions and bad feelings. At least enough that he pulls slightly away from Papyrus, a small smile returning to his face.]

Oh, you really are a sweetheart! Thank you for coming here, and for understanding. You are right after all; that is part of what makes us monsters!!

[Kindness, understanding, and occasional violence the ability to forgive. He hopes Frisk can forgive him in turn.]
