barbecue.

[lostcompany]

[Night, and a campfire outside of town, in the lightly forested scrubland of the Neloi Flats. A good rendezvous point for a ragtag bunch of abductees; a point of interest for any stragglers, where fellow otherworlders can be found.

Just follow the smell of cooking meat. There's...there's a lot of it.

And while you're all feeding yourselves, there's a lot to talk about. For instance: who the fuck were the people that brought everyone here? What did they want? Who's interested in finding a way back home, and what's the best way to tackle that question? Where will everyone stay? How will everyone get along in this place?

All that and more, at the campfire.]

[Not even remotely human! Everyone nearby just happened to look like tailless saiyans, that's not his fault. They'd look better with tails, there was just something subtly off about anyone who didn't have one and still looked saiyan.]

No.

[It's almost gently said.]

There are no tents and never were. There is no home. And the bugs stay away because of the smoke.

[That's a bit simplistic for most people but it does get through the statements pretty well. He still hasn't ... quite .. figured out what category Mettaton fits into, but he was sort of reminded of Frieza's favored team, the Ginyu Force.

They made poses too.

Was that how people made threats and warnings in other places? Just poses? Well.. he'd have to learn some proper ones then, but the one Mettaton's doing right now didn't seem appropriate AT ALL.]

... It's Prompto's fire. But everyone else is showing up so one more is okay. If you eat meat there's meat, but don't have a lot there's not enough for everyone right now.

[There is in fact a lot of meat in various stages of cooked and set aside, and it's WAY MORE than this group could feasably use in a night.]

[Hmmm.

Maybe it was necessary to make it clear that he was joking. But. Anyway.

Lets his head fall tilted to the other side, puts on a more pointed affect to his smirk with a hand on a hip.]

Well.

I've already eaten a fabulous dinner -- no need to worry, there! Don't mind me indeedy if I stick around for the night!

[maximumest]

[It won't work. He's too used to people laughing and joking while they work on obliterating all kinds of things and being generally dangerous!

But most of Broly's focus is on figuring out how to posture right back. He's not going to, he doesn't think he could get it right without a whole lot more observation, but that part he can do.

And it seems the .. android, perhaps? This person wanted to stick around.

A good opportunity to watch! There is only a brief moment of tangible relief; trying to feed yet another mouth was going to lead to an entire night of hunting at this rate.]

As far as I know nobody's being turned away. Are you going to melt if you're too close to the fire?

[What is the melting point of metal person?]

.. Don't melt, please, I'm not sure we have a mechanic that can fix something at your level.

[mettatronic]

[At that, he laughs. It's not wild - it's metered and theatrical ("ah-ha-haaaaa...!"), but it came all on its own! He points a finger in the air.]

Your first MTT fun fact, darling! I llliterally live, work, and play in a place called "Hotland". What in the world is a night beside the good old campfire?

Still!

[In a flick, draws his pointer finger back down for a fist and pulls that fist up toward his chest, where a human'd have a heart.]

You are most gracious to be concerned.

[maximumest]

[Hotland did in fact sound exactly like what he expected a planet to sound like, so that made perfect sense to him. MTT on the other hand did not, and he debates actually asking about it.

Whoever this person was they didn't seem to be hostile, so that was a bonus, and he didn't have to hunt for them, which was EVEN MORE of a bonus..]

That's good.

[The conclusion is gradual. There might be the impression that Broly isn't exactly the brightest bulb in the chandelier but not everyone can be geniuses.]

... Are you 'MTT'?

[Context!]

And where is 'hotland'? Not right here obviously, is it on this planet?
