Marble Hornets x UnderTale

Entry #15

The screen is dark.

[I've realized by now something had been going on during the production of the film. It explains why Mettaton stopped production early and why he wanted to burn the recordings.]

[I don't think he was being stalked by some fanboy. Whoever this was, they've managed to break into his house multiple times. He was also on set somehow without anyone else noticing, and the visual and audio glitches in the videos, I'm starting to think, are from him.]

It remains black.

[I tried to ask about it earlier today. I called Papyrus to ask him if he remembered anything.]

[I recorded the conversation.]

The screen has no changes, but suddenly audio cuts in. Rustling can be heard.

"And so I found the cameras and tapes in my closet," Sans said was saying, "And I just remembered that we had done all of that."

"Oh, that's right!" Papyrus said, "I completely forgot that you guys even did that. It was over a year ago, wasn't it?"

"Yeah, long time ago, right after we left the underground I think," Sans said, "I was meaning to ask Mettaton about them, but then I remembered that he said he never wanted to hear about them again."

Some more shuffling can be heard. "I don't think Mettaton really had a good time doing that movie, he seemed kind of upset about everything at that time."

"I know, I remember, sometimes he would get frustrated on set," Sans said.

"Oh, no, it wasn't just that," Papyrus said, "He did sometimes get annoyed at the other actors and you, probably because you sometimes fell asleep holding the camera, though."

"Guilty." Sans let out a laugh.

"But it wasn't just that, I think he was just really stressed overall, since he had started acting weird at home. He'd come home tired, and on our movie nights he'd always fall asleep in the middle of it! Granted, not as quickly as you, you lazy bones, but still. And he always carried around a camera halfway through, and he spent a lot of money on a bunch of memory and a bunch of cameras. I think he sometimes recorded himself, but I'm not sure. I've never been good at figuring out those recording things."

"Eh, you tried. The Great Papyrus has other important things to do."

"Nyeh heh heh, of course! But I was starting to get really concerned about his health, I sometimes woke up to him just staring out of a window or pulling out a camera, it was unsettling. I'm glad he stopped it, though, even though you guys all worked really hard on it, I don't think it was helping Burgerpants or his health at all."

"Burgerpants?"

"Yeah, he started smoking a lot more during the production, I think he was stressed about wanting to be an actor and getting chewed out by the only monster actor. And he mentioned one day when he was over that someone was leaving dead animals in the front of his yard, or something. I also think he started drinking, since he had called Mettaton to ask for a ride to work because he had woken up somewhere in his car with no gas, said he couldn't remember how he got there. I had to go with Mettaton to pick him up."

"I do remember him smoking a lot more, but I don't think he ever picked up drinking. I thought he hated alcohol."

"I thought so too. Though I think he might have gotten some new bad friends during that time, since I saw him once with some weird guy."

More rustling.

"Weird guy?"

"Yeah, he was just talking to this unusual looking guy one day when I had brought you guys food."

"Was he wearing a suit and a tie, or...?"

"No, he wasn't wearing anything formal, I think they were wearing a hood. I honestly thought it was you until I saw you at the fire pit with Mettaton. I guess it's a good thing he moved away, to get away from all of the bad people."

The audio cuts out again.

[That's what I got from the conversation.]

[I don't remember anyone hooded, I'll keep an eye socket out for them in the future.]

[I'm starting to think that something bigger had happened.]
