The play!

[mediadarling]

So, as I posted last month, Mettaton and Ryoji are in the middle of putting together a play! At this point, the volunteers we have are:

dustless: Basically everything. :P
trombones: Recording rehearsals, possibly painting sets, trolling Mettaton.
prospectornimbat: Actor (villain role).
mercybutton: Sound engineer, actor.
sansational: Lights, enabler.
antitemporal: Actor (Prince).
regalduchess: Actor (Queen of Cats).
mettaton_rex: Actor (villain).
exuviiated: First aid, props, possibly costumes.
andthebat: To be determined.
lostlegacy: Sets, actor.
lostinmyway: Sets.
lightofthestars: Costumes.
systematicsupport: Actor (IIRC. Venus? :D;; ).

Anyone else who'd like to join in who either missed the post or who introed after it was made, let me know! Mettaton is unlikely to shut up about it anytime soon, so there will be plenty of opportunities to hear about what's going on.

Also, feel free to refer to some of his background activities (dances/dancing lessons, mini-concerts, cooking lessons, fashion shows, etc.) if you need in your threads! He tends to have at least a couple of things going on a week--gotta keep those spirits up! A star shines brightest in the darkness! Etc.

And to those of you who've arrived or introed new characters in the past month or so...I promise I'll tag in soon. :D;; June has been A Month for me.

Toodles~

frisk will need those fun things in the midst of the current family situation lol

[boogerman]

PITCH CAN BE THE PHANTOM OF THE... PLAY CAN HE NOT

What a thing to try and ruiiiin.

[trombones]

ready to troll and record

also i realized i forgot about the painting part!

[mettaton_rex]

King Mettaton is going to be just delighted with his role~ Can't have a great story without a great villain, right? :D but yeah he's already expecting to be cast as either an unflattering caricature of himself or, like, a vending machine or something. This is the best-case scenario. He can work with this.

[sansational]

Sans will probably be upright and functional again in time to handle the lights. He might even let himself get dragged into attending rehearsals just as a reason to keep getting out of bed.

Assuming S-4 is back in time for the play, Serif will be ready and raring to go in his chosen role!

[mediadarling]

Poor baby, yes. Venus and I haven't put together the script yet, so it'll be rehearsals for a while yet.

[mediadarling]

Oh man, Pitch, ruin this play and Mettaton will ruin you.

Please be Phantom of the Play, though. Just don't drop the chandelier. D:

[mediadarling]

So did I until I went back to check! He can help Grune and Sophie and Frisk. ♥

[mediadarling]

TO BE HONEST, METTATON IS CURRENTLY PLANNING ON MAKING HIM A MINI-BOSS. Because Fidget was so excited to play a villain, and he just can't let her down, so he's making her the boss. He's sure you understand, don't you, darling?

(Ryoji, have fun keeping the peace.)

[mediadarling]

Considering Venus and I haven't even written a plot summary for this yet, S-4 will definitely be back in time. :D;;

Tauriel will return the favour of getting dragged into this by dragging him to rehearsals. If she's doing her part, you gotta do yours, bro.

[trombones]

time for the laziest bushes known to man

[andthebat]

the perfectionist in bruce may have trouble resisting the urge to fix said bushes, regardless of whether or not he winds up on painting duty.

[trombones]

buddy you say this like he would stop you

[andthebat]

Well, technically it'd be rude, but those bushes could really use some more detail. Like actual leaves... and shading... and a few extra shades... and maybe a splash of color here....

Later on said bushes have somehow gone from looking something like this to something more like this, because Bruce whole-and-a-half-asses everything he does.

[mediadarling]

Bruce, you are a bat after my own heart. And you are going to make both Mettaton and Grune very, very happy.

(Just don't try to fix up Sophie's bushes or she'll get extremely huffy at you.)

[mettaton_rex]

he's nOT EVEN THE MAIN BOSS no it's fine. It's fine. Got to leave the audience wanting more! He understands completely.

(seriously though this is perfect :D SORRY RYOJI his majesty is going to try to behave himself though just because he knows other MTT is expecting him not to)

[sansational]

Sans probably won't be ale to resist the urge to mess with Mettaton at least a bit. Probably mostly by, like, constantly putting the spotlights a step and a half to the left so it's more effort for Mettaton to move than correct him.

[mercybutton]

MY SWEET CHILD BEING THE SOUND ENGINEER FOR A PLAY. oh god, i love this 12-year-old nerd as my own kid

Frisk, ready to make sure all your instruments are tuned to perfection, because god knows they need it. They're all dusty and stuff. (Maybe be a Blind Oracle in the play?)

Flowey… he'd probably generally nitpick everything and criticize everyone.

[regalduchess]

DUCHESS IS READY to be a catty queen. Might be quite a shock how well she can pull off the royalty schtick, huh?

[facedanger]

That sounds awesome!! :Db I can't wait to see what you guys come up with.

Undyne won't be very inclined to volunteer, she could be manipulated talked into it pretty easy if someone wanted her involved for whatever reason.

If not, she'll probably end up being very enthusiastic and disruptive in the audience

[notsogrimreaper]

I'm ready to write the CHEESIEST SCRIPT EVER whenever you are!

[notsogrimreaper]

RYOJI SCOLDS YOU MR. SHADOW PERSON.

ENOUGH BEING SPOOPY PLEASE.

[notsogrimreaper]

god how did Ryoji get stuck in this love triangle ridiculous movie star drama...

Ryoji thinks King Mettaton will be a very cool mini-boss! and he'll have lots of character background, right? With the unrequited love and jealousy (that Ryoji just thinks were randomly added in and weren't shots at King Mettaton).

Plus he's super excited to work with both of them! So please don't fight...

[notsogrimreaper]

RYOJI IS GOING TO HAVE TO DO SO MUCH PEACEKEEPING, SIGH.

[notsogrimreaper]

Frisk is def going to be the wise blind oracle. Who probably reveals some prophecy about Ryoji and Mettaton being totally in love or something. :P

[notsogrimreaper]

HELLO CAT QUEEN. Ryoji will definitely respect her authority.

[notsogrimreaper]

S-4 may want her involved because she's very nice and friendly and she's loud enough to be in a play!

Ryoji just hopes she doesn't break anything...

[notsogrimreaper]

S-4 will definitely be acting, just to confirm!

Also, Satoru is going to be a very enthusiastic play critic. NEEDS MOAR SUPERHEROES.

[lightofthestars]

XD Probably revealing it because oh my GOD those two are ridiculous who needs a prophecy when she can HEAR IT RIGHT THERE IN THEIR VOICES??

(Flowey don't be rude. :|)

[lightofthestars]

Mettaton never doubted her royalness for a second~

[lightofthestars]

/LAUGHS

Well, you know, they DO need an actual audience....

[lightofthestars]

Awesome! We'll have to talk about his role.

What is Satoru talking about Mettaton is enough superhero for EVERYONE. :|

[boogerman]

UNITE THE METTATONS IN HATRED OF PITCH Y/N

[boogerman]

but if he stops spoopying he DIES do you want that on your head do you

[mercybutton]

//tfw ur bab is a marriage enabler

FLOWEY WILL BE AS RUDE AS HE WANTS. Frisk only has so much control over him.

[systematicsupport]

The BEST marriage enabler, thank u for letting these dorks continue to be dorks Frisk.

Ryoji will attempt to kill Flowey with kindness. It worked for King Mettaton!

[systematicsupport]

Whenever we write the play, I suppose!

HE’S PRETTY COOL but he’s only one superhero! There has to be more!

[notsogrimreaper]

...he doesn’t particularly like killing people, even if it’s what he’s. Supposed to do.

[mercybutton]

he will HISS and be ANGRY and NO AMOUNT OF SICKENING KINDNESS WILL SMOTHER HIS RAGE

[mediadarling]

We should probably do that this weekend, eh?

SIGH Mettaton supposes he can't help it if Satoru's tastes have yet to mature.

[mediadarling]

Y!!

CLEARLY PITCH IS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE CASTLE LESS FASHIONABLE THAN THE TINBOT.

[notsogrimreaper]

:C well that’s not very nice, Flowey. Cmon, Ryoji just wants you to watch Featherman R with him.

[notsogrimreaper]

I JUST REALIZED WE FORGOT TO GIVE S-4 A PART WHEN WE WROTE ANYWAYS WE'LL FIX THAT

WOW HE’S 29 HE’S SUPER MATURED.

[justletmewin]

Asriel hasn't worked out the kinks of his Hypergod of Death role yet (some Wizard of Oz-esque character who looks all scary but turns out to be a regular guy as a Plot Twist? The isolated god that tests Mettaton before deciding he's worthy and bestows him his powers?), but he can definitely help paint. He's got that giant robe for Mettaton too. :D

[mercybutton]

//robot voice// do nt t OUCH M EEEEEE

[notsogrimreaper]

WOW OKAY OKAY JESUS DON’T GET ALL AIGIS ON HIM.
