a spectral latte

A: Pre-Show

The resent tall, shiny, sexy robot entertainer of the base seems to be chiding a mug on the counter of the dining area. Not in a mean way, no - his tone suggests a firmness, but a firm encouragement. A soft order, perhaps. Not a command, but a hard suggestion.

He stands, bendy robot arms bent, hands on his hips. A power stance. The stance of a businessman, and superstar, used to giving orders.

"This will be a neat little stage trick! I promise!"

B: Show Time!

As they have been doing intermittently (and without total routine, as the pair have been working on other projects), the pair have taken center "stage" of the dining area. Mettaton sings his usual set - campy high energy song, followed by a softer song about being THE BEST, followed by a softer, sad ballad about being locked in a dungeon (???). His co-star, the large, sheet-like ghost of the base, hums a sorrowful, haunting back melody behind him.

[well that is 1. not what he was expecting when he followed the noise into the dining area tonight, but also 2. kind of adorable...?

he's more acquainted with modern music aesthetic now, and this seems to be something a little more sideways from that -- what with the robot and the ghost and the mugs he supposes that makes sense.

it's fascinating, though. he applauds when it's over, very softly.]

Applause! Napstablook had expected applause, sure, because Mettaton was there. There was a difference, however, between knowing that they had been part of an act that had received applause and actually having been at the forefront of it. It was a little overwhelming.

"Oh... jeez... thanks..."
