Mettaton still wasn't sure how he felt about this. It was definitely the surface, he thought, but it wasn't the surface he thought he was supposed to be in. Not to mention that he found it rather unfair that he had just been very selfless only to just be taken away anyway! Of all the nerve. If he ever could find out who sent him here then he'd have some very fine words with them. He was a star, he was busy! He had such a tight schedule and if that human did manage to destroy the barrier then Mettaton was sure he would be in an even tighter one. After all, he had humans to meet and charm. It made him wonder how they were doing and if they would be okay against Asgore. They did seem to be a determined little thing, like how most humans were said to be. But then his mind went to Alphys. How was she? She had been worried after he'd woken up, repaired. And he hated to worry because everybody else worried enough around him, but he was alone and if everybody else here didn't know much about this place then where did that leave him? A simple monster who had only ever been in the Underground for all of his existence?
And one thing he especially didn't like was the fact his emotions were on such a display. He had already thought about how he could put them into his acting, but fake acting emotions were different from genuine emotions and he didn't see how this persistent lightning storm around him was supposed to work. There was nothing fabulous about it. Just dangerous and who wanted a dangerous star? That was not what his public image was about!
He stood still in deep thought, worried notions beginning to get worse as the storm grew worse around him. In what universe did emotions do any of this? He needed to cheer up and now. He had a job to do! It was time to introduce this world's new star. This amulet could read minds, right? Or something like that. Something about telepathy he'd been told. That could make this simpler. He'd find a way. He was in his rectangle form at the moment because he wasn't sure how long EX could last and he still didn't know where he'd get his power from. This form was much more photogenic anyway.
“OHH YES! Hello, beauties! This is your new fabulous, famous, and wonderful star Mettaton! And aren't you just lucky? I am here to turn this world into a BEAUTIFUL METTA-TOPIA!”
But with that storm still around him and a flash of lightning, he struggled for an excuse because nobody was interested in an unhappy star. You needed bright! Pleasant! And most of all charming. How would he be this world's star and cheer the people up if he couldn't first cheer himself up? “Please! Your photo opportunities will come momentarily! Hold the cameras!” He certainly hoped these amulets understood camera angles because even if they weren't cameras, a good angle was still needed and especially if he had to masterfully crop out the obvious negative feelings plaguing him.
I didn't realize I was logged out oops sorry about the earlier anon comment
