Take Initiative.

[trustharder]

It seems things have been resolved - peacefully, if more than a little awkwardly for most parties involved. However, there's still work to do here, isn't there? Ryuunosuke shrugs after a long moment; tips his head up a bit. "Hey, Glory? Let everyone up." And apparently that's all it takes, though what that actually does isn't something that happens all at once - rather, panels slide out from the wall, forming a staircase up to that balcony they've been standing on. Mettaton doesn't really wait for the others to join them; he just leaves back through that section of wall they entered from, calling something back over his shoulder. "We've got another room to work from back here, darlings, this shouldn't take too long to work out." >Follow?

You don't want me to call you something else? Like Captain.

[He tips his head in Sigrun's direction. Captain is totally more practical than "Sigrun". He's too Japanese for this.]

[pokexplorer]

[Colress smiles at the form with blue hair nearby that he assumes must be Aqua. He'll give a wave in that direction.

...yeah the glasses are off at the moment, sorry about this-]

Is that you, Aqua? If so, it is good to see you again.

[captainobnoxious]

[SHE'S COLLECTING NOODLES, ZAGI. IT'S OKAY. SHE CAN BEEF YOU UP TOO AND WON'T COMPLAIN HALF AS MUCH AS RYUUNOSUKE WILL.]

Nah, you don't have to. You really just reminded me of how things were back home. Couldn't help but give you a little honor like that.

[... Boy. What do you say to a guy who's been dead for a good while.]

So. Is that hair of yours natural?

[ratingspoint]

Family's never really meant much to me. You know that.

[He shrugs a bit, though.]

I told Ryuunosuke that I'm done with abandoning people, though. So I guess that's. Something.

[ignorantly]

[ ZAGIN PLEASE ]

...I'm okay? I think. Aside from my legs hating me.

[penduli]

[ MISA!!!!!!!!!!!!




REALLY IMPORTANT QUESTION HOUR. ]

Did you get to see my play? [ you know, the week he tried to kill someone— ] I mean—I'm happy to see you again. No party was the same without you around.

[cherryblooded]

[Once he spots her struggling, Cherryblod hurries to Megumi's side.]

Easy, now. No rush.

[prismbloom]

We did talk about that--it'll happen, we'll make sure of that.

[ Now that anything seems possible, she almost says. ]

[blastiarm]

[...stares at the disaster noodle]

Okay, no, but what if he's got powers or something? Sometimes you fight someone and then you realize they have massive claws when they impale you and it's the best fight of your life...

...What was I saying?

[oh my fucking god]

[garudynamic]

[He grunts, but hugs back. All his hug-shyness has been worn out of him]

Heh, I didn't do much.

[garudynamic]

[R u d e]

[lackinginfaith]

You might want to avoid Bates for your health, at least. There were others, but most of them at least understood that maybe you were doing the right thing.

[captainobnoxious]

[Good.]

I couldn't be happier.

[...]

Well, I could be, but that's not important right now! That'll, uh. That'll come with time. I'm just so happy to actually hug you again.

[As real as the VR hugs felt, this -- this is real.]

[penduli]

[ ...oh. ]

White, too. [ yeah. ] Sorry. Are you going to be okay?

[ratingspoint]

Of course, darling. Why wouldn't I be?

[...Okay, there are a lot of reasons, but- ]

Cherryblod is really sweet, you'll love him. And you're already getting along well with Sigrun, so it's not like we have anything to worry about.

[...BUT WE'RE GOING TO IGNORE ALL OF THEM, okay then.]

[prismbloom]

[ She really did miss her a lot. Aqua nudges Sigrun lightly. ]

I'm glad to hear it. Just make sure they don't get too lazy.

[cherryblooded]

A certain Kingmaker also told me you cared about me, even if you didn't know what to do with my feelings.

That's good enough for me. It doesn't matter if you call it family or not.

[captainobnoxious]

[Aiden is not exempt from hugs either.]

Even if you don't, you were so awesome! I can't believe you gave them so much trouble! Good! Thank you! They deserved it!

Re: GLORY

[sleepingkogoro]

[Mouri has time to be a detective. He really wants to rest for a while, and he will. There may be a longer interrogation at some later point, but unfortunately it won't be something anyone beyond the fourth wall will be privy too.

There is one question he feels he should ask, though]

Hello, Glory...so now what? What will happen to you? Will you shut down until someone else activates the system?

[blastiarm]

["also this is my murder-happy boyfriend I met while I was trapped in a murdervault, it was a ride let me tell you" should work just fine!!!!]

Definitely. No one quite as good as you, but don't worry. I won't let anything kill me, so you'll never be without me.

[No more fighting all-out which is kind of disappointing...]

[amygdalae]

[You are a saint, Aqua.

Bruce lets her lead him over to this nice quiet spot, which is also nice because this means he doesn't have to see Mettaton and... the other person with him. Bruce really isn't up for either of them at the moment. Maybe later. Who knows.

Once they're both settled Bruce lets out a long, shaky exhale. His limbs are still pretty uncooperative but its just a matter of time - at least his head is already clearing up.]

...thanks again.

[uro_cyon]

Can't even take full credit for it, it's something a partner was going on about one night when we discussing ridiculous explosions. It's not difficult to make, just risky.

Had about two minutes to make it and set it before it would have blown up at a gust of wind.

[isafraid]

I don't doubt that. [LOOK AT THEIR GROUP it's amazing but also a mess.]

Seems that way. We all put our heads together and came out on top... Mind you, I'm still not sure how. [...] Guess trust had something to do with it.

[trustharder]

. . . . . . . .
DON'T LOOK BACK IN ANGER, RIGHT?

[someone heard you like oasis.]

[sleepingkogoro]

Really? About time you did!

So, why are you a sailor?
