[Papyrus' ear twists at Mettaton's voice, but his gaze is fixated on the bracelets. They're nothing like the manacles in the cell, and the guards look nothing like the Rathmores, but he shivers anyway. He's not actively trying to resist arrest, but he keeps reflexively tugging his arm to try getting it free.]
Rrrright, under arrest.
[His voice is still growling a little bit, but he starts to shake it off with literally shaking his head, and a glance up toward Mettaton. That smile, directed at him, makes a little more difference.]
For crimes. Not for... We're doing theater together!
[The guards are already impressed enough by Mettaton's shameless goading, but they have a little bit of being impressed to spare for Papyrus outright confessing. Most criminals don't have the gumption to just come out and say it like that.
Impressed or no, they spare no time in slapping the bracelet restraints on him, too. They're less manacles than the power-dampeners for keeping witches from using magic and monsters from accessing their inhuman strengths, the better to take them away safely.
With that, his tugging turns futile in the Turnskin guard's hands, not budging it in the slightest.]
