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.

Naturally this put her on the defensive right away.

"Oh, no no no! I'm really dull! People have actually ignored me... I'm not special."

"Oh... well... I know what that's like."

They, for their part, didn't sound at all defensive. Just like it was a part of themself that they had accepted. They also didn't at all try to assure her she wasn't. Why bother? She knew herself better than Napstablook knew her. That would be rude.

"I'm glad I got to talk to a nice person anyway..."

"Oh... you did? ...I'm glad for you, that must be nice."

... She didn't realize that was her. Mikan. Honey.

"Yeah... you are kind of nice." They gave a hesitant smile. This hadn't turned out to be so bad... fan meet and greets were always scary, but now they could kind of see why Mettaton liked it.
