[Styx doesn't really like to use the voice function, let alone video. but he's got a question that would greatly benefit from some visual aid, so...enjoy your view of a fish tank, network. there's a single resident inside just chilling, weaving his way around the lush plants and the decorative skull without a care in the world. the skull's eye sockets are continuously changing colors, but that doesn't seem to bother him.

this is a much nicer view than his stupid face for sure.]

Um, hey! You guys have tattoos where you're all from? Just mean in general, not, uh...actually on you or nothing, haha.

[it would kind of be a pointless question if they already had a piece done, wouldn't it? this was off to a great start already.]

I'm gonna get a new piece done real soon, but 'm kinda stuck on what to do with the design. There's just so much killer shit, you know? So I thought maybe if I heard what everybody here's into it'd help me pick something out...'nd if not at least I'll get to see some cool stuff!

[the camera shifts now, briefly glimpsing an extremely large man before it narrows in on what is presumably that same massive guy's upper arm and the wicked tattoo on display.]

This is what I already got! Picked it 'cause it went with my name, but I dunno if I should do more skulls again? Be like too much of a good thing, you know?

Oh, hey, Soren! Dunno if you're listening but you should check everybody's shit out too! 's your money 'nd all, I wanna get something you think's awesome.

Hey there darlings! Happy Noveuer! I hope you all had a fantastic Samuin full moon!!

...Unless your name is Eren Jaeger.

[It's Mettaton EX, on video this time, as is his element. He's holding the camera close enough at first to be a charming headshot, but as he pulls the camera back, it becomes obvious with dents and scratches that his metal chassis has been damaged. From the very moment he spat Eren's name, his smile's colored with malice.]

Public Service Announcement: Eren tried to eat me last night! Oh yes! I was minding my own business, out near the Wilde as any good Monster might, on his merry mischief-making, during a full moon like this... When suddenly, I was attacked!

Thank my lucky STARS that Mikasa arrived on the scene, my knight in glittering armor. Or else, I would have been rendered into incredibly sumptuous scrap metal. I'd love it if someone could give her a big round of applause!!

Since I can't.

[The camera is pulled back ever more. Mettaton is missing an arm, and sparks and wires emerge from its socket. Can't applaud without a second hand.]

If anyone so much as catches a GLIMPSE of his sorry tail, give me a hand, and tell him for me:

1. He needs to keep that tongue and those teeth firmly AWAY from others,
   
2. Give me my arm back,
   
3. And, he owes me money.

Eren, if YOU see this: Give me my arm. Also: you owe me money!

[ Good afternoon, residents of Aefenglom! Today's broadcast comes from a woman with long, dark hair and an overly revealing dress. She tilts her head at the camera, brow slightly furrowed. ]

Now, am I doing this correctly...?

[ After confirming that the camera is in fact on, she starts her spiel. ]

After speaking with a lovely young friend of mine, it's come to my attention that he could use a little company to brighten up his days here. He's lamented about how lonely he feels here [ he hasn't ] and I thought I'd take it upon myself to - what's the term again? - wingwoman for him.

[ You don't spend weeks in a melting pot of different cultures and time periods without picking up a few phrases here and there. Even if they still don't make any sense to her, because she certainly doesn't have any wings. ]

He's a youthful nineteen in your mortal years, and an absolute sight on the battlefield—as well as a sight all tied up.

[ She means the 3DMG but hey, might as well fire up the imagination. With a little help -- there's a picture flickering onto the screen now, of a shirtless young man staring into a mirror. ]

He's chivalrous but open-minded, and enjoys his days off with gusto. His words can come out a little rough, but he's quite caring once you get past that prickly exterior. Unless, of course, you like things a little rough.

[ Said with a wink. Is this...still SFW... ]

If he sounds like someone you'd be interested in spending time with, please do let me know. You won't be disappointed. [ Ah, right, before she forgets— ] And of course, both boys and girls are welcome to apply!

[ It's equal opportunity in this house. ]
