Wonderland really knows how to treat a man. I'm sure if you went to that closet over there you'll find the glass you need along with some workable steel.
[He lies back, plugging the cord into his main charger into his neck, giving a small shiver at the sudden influx of electricity. He pauses for a moment, looks at her, and smiles.]
Thank you, Alphys. I don't know what I would do without you.

[She smiles, but rolls her eyes anyway. He's so cheesy.]
I'll w-wake you up in a bit and it should be fine. Sleep well, or s-something!
[She lets Mettaton fade off as she plots over to the closet to retrieve her supplies and get to work.]

[There's a slight pause before the englishman starts talking. He's not used to answering machines.]
Hello. This is Dorian Gray. Your friend, Frisk, told me you would be able to explain how the entirety of Wonderland can be a small, enclosed space. If you could get back to me soon, I would appreciate it.

[She replies as soon as she's able. What has Frisk been telling this guy?? Though, it does make her feel slightly good that Frisk is referring science questions to her, or thinks she's smart enough to handle them.]
Uhm, well, Wonderland is what's referred to as a pocket dimension. So, uhm, every w-world, or reality that we know... think of it existing as a b-bubble, in a room full of them. They all have the same rules, like, bubbles being popped, but some are bigger, or smaller, and s-some float higher or lower than others. So Wonderland is like... t-the bubble wand. It's different, but still similar?
[Wow, that one got away from her.]
It's, uh, o-outside of space and time. if that helps. Uh, d-did that help? Maybe a more specific question, would, uhm, b-be easier.

[Well. The only thing Frisk said about Alphys was that she was a lizard monster who happened to be a scientist.]
[That voice on the other end certianly didn't SOUND like a lizard monster. Really, it sounded more like some nervous desk clerk. With a stutter. Sigh.]
Yes and no.
The analogy would make more sense if I understood what a bubble wand was.

... Oh. Yeah, uh, that's more c-complicated.
It's like... oh, h-hang on.
[She flips to video, at least on her end, and waves for a moment before centering it on what seems to be her workspace, where a piece of paper sits on the table, with some circles drawn on it.]
So, these circles are worlds, right? They all exist in the universe, which is the paper, b-but they're separate, so they can't interact. But they all follow the same rules, like, physics, because they're on the paper.
[She then brings into frame another piece of paper, with a single circle on it, labelled Wonderland.]
See, Wonderland exists i-in it's own space on the paper, but not the same page. It's still in a universe, but uhm, n-not our universe. So it obeys it's own rules, uhm, d-despite still being it's own world.
[She centers the camera back on herself.]
Does that h-help?

[Oh dear god, she is a literal giant lizard. Dorian decides to leave his end on audio so she won't see his shocked expression. After all, such a reaction to someone who is helping you would be rude.]
[However, he is more familiar with drawings on paper than bubble wands, so there's a blessing.]
Yes, this example is a lot more helpful than the last. Thank you, Miss Alphys.

[She smiles, a little more securely than before.]
Great! I'm glad, uhm, I c-could help. I guess, uh, y-you must come from father back in time, huh? When, uhm, t-there was less study of particle physics.

[Nod] Indeed. I'm actually unfamiliar with much of the technology here.
Somebody gave you the pamphlet, uhm, w-when you arrived, right? It explains a little more about that sort of thing.
Ah... Yes, actually.
However, she sent it to my communications device, which is currently being used to record this... I would prefer a physical copy, now that I think of it.

I think there are some, uhm, i-in the library? I'm not sure. You could ask, uhm, the l-lady who works in there. I think her name is Evie.
Ah. I'll try and ask her about it sometime soon. [Smile, nod]
By the by... I don't mean to be rude, but what sort of monster are you?

ALPHYS, HI, WHY THE FUCK DID YOU MISGENDER CHARA???????
I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN, BUT IT WAS YOUR FIRST CONVERSATION WITH THEM. WHAT THE HELL, ALPHYS.
Uh... a lizard, uh, m-monster? In my world, the only real type d-differentiation are monsters and Boss Monsters, who are a little more physical and s-stronger than most of us. After that it's mostly just uh, the t-type of animal we resemble.
what do y
OH
no omg that was a mistake
undyne was flinging spears at them when we arrived
id never met them irl and asgore always talked about his son!!!!
id never MET his kids so i heard chara's voice on the tapes and i thought that was them bc like
asgore only said like, son or kids, plural
they didnt correct me and i didnt realize until later
and then everything happened w
actually uh nevermind thats it for that one

Oh.
What was your society like? I heard you lived underground for a long time.

SO... YOU MADE AN HONEST MISTAKE AND YET YOU STILL DIDN'T APOLOGIZE? REALLY? ALPHYS, YOU CAN'T CUT YOURSELF OFF LIKE THAT AND NOT EXPECT ME TO ASK QUESTIONS. WHAT HAPPENED? TELL ME NOW OR I'LL WRENCH IT OUT OF YOU.
Oh, well, uhm... we're a monarchy, w-with a King and uh, we used to have a Queen too. But otherwise uh, I g-get the impression we're pretty close to, uh, humans. Kids are t-taken care of by their parents, and they go to school, and get j-jobs and sometimes have families. I'm a scientist, but there's farmers, and s-schoolteachers, and librarians and members of the Royal Guard who watch for humans. There's all kinds of things.
From what I've, uhm, learned from humans, it's about the same. Kind of.

well i was gonna but then it
well it
it got complicated haha really its just like that
when i realized it had been a while and were not
really on speaking terms so?????
dont think about it too hard
[She is basically begging him not to dig into this. Please, Mettaton. Have mercy.]

Ah... My country is actually very similar to yours, except we have a Queen whose husband died of illness, our Royal is there to protect the monarchy from assault, and we could actually see the sky when the fog wasn't as thick as pea soup.
[Now that he thinks about it...] Do monsters have a Parliament?

thank you for being nice to me.
i have to go now.
thanks. alphys.

[Mercy??? Mercy??? You say that like they come from a game that hinges on a Mercy option or something!
Much like how Asgore destroys game mechanics by breaking the Mercy button, less than a minute later Alphys's bedroom door BURSTS open, revealing one bright pink boot pointing through the doorway.]
Alphys! I'm here for your explanation about what happened between you and Chara that stopped you from giving them the apology they deserve!
[He steps in, his tone brokering no room for argument.]
