whatever suits your purpose or taste, like

\def\blz[#1]%
   {\begingroup
      \setvariables[blz][#1]%
      \startMPpage
          draw textext("\getvariable{blz}{a}") shifted(10mm, 10mm);
          draw textext("\getvariable{blz}{b}") shifted(10mm, 20mm);
          draw textext("\getvariable{blz}{c}") shifted(10mm, 30mm);
      \stopMPpage
    \endgroup}

\blz[a=01,b=02,c=AA]
