tenna info
voice claim is recd's tenna or alex rochon
tenna has what he calls a "traveling act". basically fuck canon rules he can visit between castletown and mettaton's house at will (the main studio is adjacent to being with the ghost cousins) (might also make it so the ghosts can enter the studio via the crt but put a pin on that)
furby body. actual explanation is, aside from the crt head itself, the outer layer of tenna's body is soft and plush, but underneath it is all of the mechanical robot stuff. paw/paw-like digits. has a power cord tail- that can plug into the wall and help him recharge (but can sleep/recharge in a bed)
VERY insecure about how he comes off / does not want to be intimidating (ie the fact he does not show his fangs or claws normally). especially after the Manic Episode he had at the tail end of ch3. and the fact that even though he was a terrible boss his staff + susie & ralsei still banded together to save him. the unfortunate side of this is that now he basically directs most of his bad feelings onto himself
has gained some very unfortunate body dysphoria about the fact he was Fucking Murdered because his plush body has some kinda gnarly scars running down his shoulders from where his arms got sliced off and he does not want to see them or have others see it because then he has to think about A. dying B. the fact someone else did that to him and C. the fact that it now shows for anyone who sees him exposed that someone hated him enough to try and kill him. and would have succeeded if he was more organic than robotic
i do write tenna as a gay man so no queentenna 👎 aside from that though i like spamtenna mettatenna and rouxlstenna (and in my beautiful yaoi mind palace they'd all be together but that's neither here nor there)
[[Boob Tube]]!! SOME 1 TOLD ME TO [[Send Attachment]] YOU THIS. NO IDEA WH4T’S [Going On] THERE.
*Spamton hands him the paper. It reads…
“Pluey’s found a way to get rid of the Shadow Crystal. We’re pretty sure that’s part of what drove Battat to murder. They’ll hopefully be less violent afterwards.”
apammy..? oh..
(*tenna takes the paper from spamton, reading it over. he has a weird feeling in his gut over the mentions of the crystal.. but mainly, he's just glad battat is having such an influence taken away.*)
hah. well.. atleast that's that sorted..
(*tenna tries to relax, but the sigh that comes from him is clearly one of exhaustion.*)
*Spamton just sat and listened to Tenna, keeping his mouth shut. But one thing bothered him.
*The crystal.
*Spamton didn’t quite remember when he got it. It was in his days as a big shot, but whether it was at the start or around the end, he didn’t know.
*He did know it showed him things that he shouldn’t have seen, and could almost but not really understand, and drove him mad trying to do so.
*One thing it showed him that he did understand was the Neo body. That perfect body. He’d tried to get it, but… well, he wanted it for dysphoria reasons mainly, but also, it very much had the potential for destruction.
*So when he tried to get it for himself, a certain artistic butler didn’t take that well. Somewhere in the struggle, he’d dropped the crystal in the machine.
*Being physically separated from the crystal didn’t help his mental state much. Somehow, he felt he was seeing from it, and that only made him want that body more. It was only after the Neo body’s failure that the crystal lost its hold on him.
*If this Battat had a crystal like that… that was very concerning.
*Spamton had the feeling that wouldn’t be the best thing for Tenna to hear right now.
I’M SORRY ABOUT ALL THAT, [[Cathode]].
*Great job there, buddy. As much as Spamton still held some resentment towards Swatch (even if he did understand what their problem with him was now), they were always better at this sort of thing than he was…
it's- it's okay. they're working on getting the crystal.. away from him. so hopefully he should.. settle down. atleast not be so violent anymore.. this is like.. the third time? ugh.
(*a deep sigh, but then tenna smiled at spamton- properly smiled. more relaxed.*)
i'm.. really glad you're here. that i'm not dealing with all this alone.
(*he should.. not talk about the mike part. probably? that might be. upsetting for spamton.
not that the topic is going to be much better regardless..*)
..when you. left. i got.. a lot more snappy. and doing things all on my own was..
it was bad. it was really bad. that's probably where everything started going wrong for me, ahaha..
but.. some of my staff. battat, and his friends jongler and pluey. they uh. teamed up. to help me behind the scenes. they originally used an alter-ego, and avoided telling me there was three of them.
but after everything happened with the knight and.. a separate incident. they finally properly came clean.
battat's, um, well.. he's dedicated, for certain! a bit too dedicated, maybe, but he's real handy when he's got his mind set on the right thing!
he's a good guy, though, i know he is.. he's just.. been a bit misguided! i hope things'll finally be better for him now that he's not got.. that messing him up.
*As Tenna explained about Battat and his friends, Spamton was reminded of something.
*A while back, someone started contacting him about Mike, claiming to be an employee of Tenna who needed the information for their job, for whatever reason.
*Spamton had no idea what they wanted, with how ramble-y they were, and he didn’t want to associate with Tenna. So he yelled at them to stop talking to him, and hung up on subsequent calls.
*He recalled on those calls hearing the voices of two other people. So could those have been…?
HE DIDN’T HAVE AN INT3REST IN [[Mike]], RIGHT??
*Whoever was contacting him did seem more than a little unhealthily obsessed with figuring out who Mike was… So maybe that might have been involved?
*Hm, he hadn’t mentioned anything about leaving Tenna, but he’d also stopped mentioning Tenna at all once Spamton ran away. Mike was weird in general, now that Spamton thought about it…
*But anyway, Battat’s obsession with Mike… that certainly seemed like a result of the crystal.
*When he thought about it… there were some odd moments with Mike, in hindsight.
*Maybe it was suspicious to contact a desperate barely adult of all people. Maybe it was a red flag to encourage someone to hide things from his loved ones. Maybe it was wrong to cut off support from someone unless he met a certain condition, even when he was… at his worst.
…I WAS A FOOL, WASN’T I?
SORRY, I SH0ULDN’T PUT THAT ON2 YOU. YOU NEED A [[Sleep Mode]] FOR A BIT.

You have no fucking way of proving that!

Okay, listen, I had to find out who Mike is! I got a deal that if I killed…
*Battat paused. Shit, Tenna would be pissed if he learned it was Spamton.
…a certain guy, I’d find out who Mike is. But turns out I killed the wrong guy, and all I got is information on Mike being an alias. So I killed him for fucking nothing. There’s the fucking story. I spit it all out. Are you fucking happy now?!
*Jongler sighed. Battat was still lying, true, but Tenna wouldn’t react well to knowing exactly who it was he’d killed.
…Plues and me gots the call a while back. We’s didn’t think Battat would do dat… but we’s clearly shoulda kept dem in check.
you- you shouldn't have killed someone to begin with..! i hope you realize now that it was a stupid decision!
(*tenna hissed and looked away, trying to maintain his composure. don't blow up. don't get angry. you know how that ends.
the anger from your father reflected in the mirror..
it was repeating what it knew.
....
be better than that.
he looks back, clearly forcing that showman smile once again.*)
well! that's not good! fortunately for you, i am making the decision to NOT fire you for this!
however! i am putting you on a MANDATORY break until things settle down! as well, jongler, one of you- you or pluey- will need to keep an eye on him so he doesn't get into more incidents!
i hope that's clear enough! now! if you don't mind! i'm going to! step out for a bit!

Hi Tenna! Sorry about what happened earlier... if it helps, I'm still here, so if you need anything, just let me know! I kinda wish I had brought a gift or something now...
@sour-capn-cakes
mm..? you don't need to apologize! at the very least a gift isn't necessary! i don't know what you boys had gotten in a fight over, but i understand! siblings bicker sometimes..
Well... it's about Cap'n. I get why Sour's concerned about him, because I am too! ...but, uh... maybe yelling isn't the best way to go about showing that concern. I guess.
[* He pauses for a moment.]
It's that backstage game. He probably thinks it's more interesting than us.

tenna info
voice claim is recd's tenna or alex rochon
tenna lives in hometown, and while i think he pays visits to his asgore sometimes, he specifically lives with toriel and kris
also has the furby (soft fabric furred outer layer, robot body underneath that layer) body fuzz and noise have, but he's not part of the fucked up mirror thing those two have i just like it as a concept so he gets to have it too
a lot more mellow by tenna standards on account that he does not do shows anymore- probably goes all out when teaching the kids in his classes but thats it
also less clinically insane about his family abandonment issues due to actually getting to be a part of the family this time
(*tenna wanders- before spotting battat, approaching him.. cautiously. gauging his reaction before he says too much.*)
hey! battat! how.. are you doing?
( @tennas-tvtimee )
*Upon seeing Tenna, Battat’s stress has been washed away, for the most part.
Ah, hello Tenna! You need me to do anything for you? Antennae massage, dental care, shock therapy? I’d be happy, whatever it is!
*The hoped Tenna didn’t notice how tired they looked. That wasn’t something that usually occurred to him, but it was something he was well aware of right now.
(*tenna flinched in surpise- and his tail tlicked nervously.*)
er, uh- haha. i should probahly not do that last one anymore..
but, i wasn't here for any of that! i uh.. heard you weren't doing well.. i wanted to see if you were okay?
you uh- don't have to talk about anything if you don't want to, but.. i don't want this job to feel too stressful for you, you know? if you need a break, please take one!
*Battat didn’t know whether to feel insulted that they were being offered a break, or flattered that Tenna cared about them to the point of worrying about their stress.
Oh, I am maybe a little under the weather… but you know I’m always willing to serve you however you wish! I’ll never need any breaks! Unless something like that explosion happens again…
*He hadn’t noticed, but his tail was twitching quite violently.
..everyone needs breaks, you know! no matter how talented they are! and i'd rather you take a break when you need it before you get hurt! not after!
if you're.. really so certain you don't want a whole break- please, atleast, try to take it easy with your work? i don't mind if you're not at full capacity! i'd rather you do what you can manage, okay? no more pushing you to your limit!
Listen, I- that was a freak accident. I’ve never had to take a break before that!
*Battat noticed after snapping just how tired he felt.
W-well I do have one request, I suppose…
*They nuzzled against Tenna, letting the warmth from him seep into their body.
I was… doing something in the Cold Place just now, I need some warmth.
*That was only a little bit of an excuse to snuggle up to Tenna. Being ectothermic and all, it was vital for them to get their body temperature back up.
*He still felt guilty asking. And now not just because they generally felt guilty wanting things for themself. It felt even more wrong to be selfish with what he’d done…
*Shit, Tenna could smell the blood on them…. Quick, come up with a lie!
I- um- you know- so I was trying to see if there was anything suspicious around, and there was this one guy who was sneaking around, and they charged at me.
*Battat gulped, their tail twitching.
A-and then I uh, attacked them, you know in self defense, and some blood splattered on me, and they ran off.
*Hopefully Tenna would believe that…
D-don’t worry, I didn’t get injured. I tried to clean the blood off so you wouldn’t get worried, but…
(*tenna wanders- before spotting battat, approaching him.. cautiously. gauging his reaction before he says too much.*)
hey! battat! how.. are you doing?
( @tennas-tvtimee )
*Upon seeing Tenna, Battat’s stress has been washed away, for the most part.
Ah, hello Tenna! You need me to do anything for you? Antennae massage, dental care, shock therapy? I’d be happy, whatever it is!
*The hoped Tenna didn’t notice how tired they looked. That wasn’t something that usually occurred to him, but it was something he was well aware of right now.
(*tenna flinched in surpise- and his tail tlicked nervously.*)
er, uh- haha. i should probahly not do that last one anymore..
but, i wasn't here for any of that! i uh.. heard you weren't doing well.. i wanted to see if you were okay?
you uh- don't have to talk about anything if you don't want to, but.. i don't want this job to feel too stressful for you, you know? if you need a break, please take one!
*Battat didn’t know whether to feel insulted that they were being offered a break, or flattered that Tenna cared about them to the point of worrying about their stress.
Oh, I am maybe a little under the weather… but you know I’m always willing to serve you however you wish! I’ll never need any breaks! Unless something like that explosion happens again…
*He hadn’t noticed, but his tail was twitching quite violently.
..everyone needs breaks, you know! no matter how talented they are! and i'd rather you take a break when you need it before you get hurt! not after!
if you're.. really so certain you don't want a whole break- please, atleast, try to take it easy with your work? i don't mind if you're not at full capacity! i'd rather you do what you can manage, okay? no more pushing you to your limit!
Listen, I- that was a freak accident. I’ve never had to take a break before that!
*Battat noticed after snapping just how tired he felt.
W-well I do have one request, I suppose…
*They nuzzled against Tenna, letting the warmth from him seep into their body.
I was… doing something in the Cold Place just now, I need some warmth.
*That was only a little bit of an excuse to snuggle up to Tenna. Being ectothermic and all, it was vital for them to get their body temperature back up.
*He still felt guilty asking. And now not just because they generally felt guilty wanting things for themself. It felt even more wrong to be selfish with what he’d done…
