[Whatever Alphys is doing, she's going to be interrupted.]
HI SWEETIE!!! GUESS WHAT, IT'S LUNCH TIME!! HOW WOULD YOU LIKE SOME HOMEMADE THINGS?!
ALSO I MADE CUPCAKES!!! WHO DOESN'T WANT SUGAR WHILE THEY WORK~? <3
[He can't always be all health conscious, ok? Mettaton has to have terrible bad girl days with Alphys for every relatively healthy thing he pushes towards her because...
That.
Is friendship.
Also he feels like borrowing some of her generator energy and meddling in whatever she's doing.
That is not just friendship. It is True Friendship.]

[Always with the suspicion, wow. To be fair though...he probably deserves that.]
WOW!!!
AND HERE I WANTED TO REWARD YOU FOR BEING SO GOOD ABOUT NOT EATING CUPCAKES FOR LUNCH!
REALLY THOUGH. I'M NOT GIVING YOU JUST CUPCAKES, I'M NOT A HEATHEN.
ANYWAY!!! SEE YOU IN A LITTLE WHILE!! <3
[And so he does! It takes him a bit to get everything packed up properly and arrive to the lab, but at that point he decides to be polite and not bust Alphys' door in. Instead, he knocks and loudly announces himself:]
Guess who~?
[The worst, that's who.]

you nerd
c u soon =^o^=
[Sure enough, she's at her desk in the center, chewing on a pen and looking at some of the notes in front of her. She perks up when he arrives with a smile, waving him towards the center.]
Oh, wow, I d-don't know. Are you the delivery robot? I'm waiting on someone.
[Look, she's got jokes!]

Absolutely! I'm your friendly neighborhood side-hustle food delivery bot!
[He runs with it like it's his show, of course, joining Alphys at her desk and setting down a neatly folded brown bag before her. Once she opens it, she'll find a lovingly assembled peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a ridiculous parfait covered in cling wrap, and a cupcake that is clearly a scream for more glitter in the city.]
Don't forget sweetheart, I work for tips!
[Punctuated by a flirtatious leggy in the air. ;) See? Sometimes Mettaton's possessed of a good mood and he's almost his good old self again.]

[ It's Valentine's Day and Donut's all buttered up into his latest outfit all white feathers and toga garb. He's got his lucky bow and a slew of orders to fill! So, he does what Gods do best - he takes the easy way out. Being a literal Flower God chosen by Heaven Donut's got a few nifty abilities in times like these where he needs to delivery dozen and dozen of bouquets all in one day! He's like Santa Claus! And like Santa Claus he plays the part and dresses up in the good old white and red! One at a time, he picks up each special bouquet and teleports - bike and all - to each person!
One moment she might be at home, at the store, out hunting - wherever she might be Hadriel's local self-appointed Cupid comes a knocking wearing the traditional garb of his brethren sitting atop a decorated bike. ]
Hiya!
I'm the new Cupid in town with a Special Delivery!

[Frankly, Alphys was not expecting anything to happen for Valentine's. It wasn't really a holiday monsters had, even though they had a similar concept, but Alphys wasn't a participant basically ever. This is what happens when you're a nerd. Eventually you just stop expecting it.
Which makes this entire experience a tour de force of pure confusion.
Donut just Appears when she's on her way into the Lab for the day and Alphys shrieks, throwing her hands in the air and then in front of her to protect against whatever's coming... and then had to reasess what's even going on.]
I... y... w-what??
[She will be so sorry.]

It's a token of the heart.

[Full stop, she has no idea what to make of this. No one has ever done something like this for her-- it's a mystery if she's ever seen this kind of flower in real life before.]
I... uh... oh.
[Alphys takes them, looking between him and the basket two or three times before she looks back up, still as flabbergasted as before.]
Do-- d-do you like me??
[She has no idea what she would do if he said yes.]

Dear Alphys,
[ She would 100% be addressing her as 'Dr. Alphys' if she had even the slightest idea that that was an option. ]
This is Lucretia, from the hot springs. [ it's fine it's not weird ] Lup mentioned that you were involved with some research at the library before it was destroyed. I was wondering if there was any possibility that some of the books might have survived, or if any progress was made in translating them.
Can you help? Or direct me to someone who can?
Thank you,
Lucretia
P.S. I hope you're staying warm.

[ Oh dear. She recognizes most of those words, but definitely not all of them. Is that...code? A different language? Is "=^o^=" her name in Monster?
Probably, right? ]
Thank you, Alphys.
It sounds like it may be a dead end, but those are some good leads. I'll be sure to ask around.

[It's a good thing Lucretia can't actually see Alphys right now, because it was basically the cartoon gag of an arrow striking her heart with that emoji usage as she lies down on the floor. Oh my god. She is going to die.]
of course!!

[ She's getting it. One day, she'll have to ask Alphys to teach her the language properly, but at least she's got their names down. It's a start. ]
That would be wonderful, =^w^=. If you get a chance to look, I'd love to see anything you can find.
Thank you very much for all your help.

Miss Alphys,
How much do you know of the "Hosts" that Hope was searching for? The ones he mentioned on the communicators? They are in hiding, correct?
[Sorry Alphys, he only barely keeps up with technology, the network included sometimes.]

Oh. Fascinating.
[Well, now he feels a little foolish for making this phone call, since it seems everything is under control.]
They didn't mention anything about anyone stumbling upon their settlement, did they?

I mean, we might have seen a few more, but they probably didn't want to be disturbed, especially if they are scared.
Though I can't see why they would be scared of anything. Have you seen them? They're horrifying.
Like 2 mins after Hope's post also i can't do my normal formatting rip

So. About that whole Hope nonsense.
Alphys honey.
May I ask what way you plan to go on this?
[Mmmmm, moral dilemmas and shit. Mettaton's not good with those. Especially super bad at them lately.]
Alphys honey.

[See, here's the thing. There's a list here of things Alphys should have been doing, and a list of the things she did do. On the list of "should have" is like, telling Mettaton everything she ever did here, including that she has a personal stake in all this. On the list of "did do" is none of this. She may be stopping herself from outright lying these days, but that isn't stopping selective misinformation, or just not talking about... things.
Progress isn't as linear as she wants it to be.]
uhhhhhh
well i uhm
its
the door isnt really a good option at all
it just wont work like we want
but with the others uh
i kind of
it
we cant kill them you know that

[Does he know that?
...despite everything? He does. He really does. Not just because it's Alphys who he's talking to. She's softhearted and wants to help everyone, and she's gained so much confidence that he can't disagree with her.
But...it's also a little personal. Sure, he'd fight the Null if they came at him, and if they threatened who was important to him. Fighting was just a natural conclusion. Killing the Null from the inside out is different.
It's a death sentence that he knows she won't agree to. And Mettaton just needed to hear that to remind himself...he wasn't as soul-less as he thought.
Still...]
If the door won't work, and you don't want to kill them, then you want to alter their code?
If I'm being honest
None of these are good options.
[Not to Mr. Roboto over here.]

[Of course he isn't. Alphys' statement wasn't a question, but a fact she trusts they shared. One of her biggest struggles here for a long time was being the only Monster, the only one with a tangible history of another group trying to slaughter them all. Mettaton will always get it. Just because these people can be mean, the idea of wiping them out entirely, and them being responsible...
She can't. She just can't.]
i mean
yeah it sucks like really bad but
if these are the only options
at least that way they get to like
live???
i dont know im kind of freaking out LOLLLLLL
can we meet up i
i want to talk to you
not on these
[She needs to be honest with him about [name]- and that means not leaving a record here.]
She can't. She just can't.]
