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?

I can't really blame you there. I kinda got a kick doing it myself earlier. Did you end up popcorning over the other sites?

[cherryblooded]

Fair enough. Having an AI does help with the boring bits.

[ratingspoint]

More or less.

I also imagine no one wants me touching it, after everything that was said in there.

[About deleting all the dead people.]

[pokexplorer]

Speaking as someone who built something like this...sometimes it is better for only the one controlling the panel to know.

[He likes control, okay.]

But there may have been a manual at one point. I suppose we'll never know.

[amygdalae]

I'd advice against that.

[Who still knows what the hell this could do. Maybe there's a button here that's going to end up killing them all.]

[cherryblooded]

If one of us did it, we'd just end up pressing whatever buttons you two told us worked, and it wouldn't make much difference.

[captainobnoxious]

You built something like this? Why?

[notjustawriter]

I don't, no.

I guess you just get used to it.

[ratingspoint]

...I didn't, actually.

[So at least there's that.]

[cherryblooded]

That's one way to make things difficult for everyone else...

[amygdalae]

Run it through me, then. I'll handle it.

[...well, he's the guy who was actively opposing against them. Gotta be the most trustworthy thing to do now, right?]

[captainobnoxious]

I'm guessing most people would.

[She knows she's in the minority of wanting to roll her face over these buttons, okay.]

Doesn't make me wanna do it any less.

[greatestcool]

I didn't either. You guys kept me busy!

[goodforsomething]

Yeah, don't do that. You can't mess with this stuff.

[garudynamic]

...

[he nods, as if deciding something based on that, and finally slides the black headphones off his ears]

Good.

[pokexplorer]

Ah- not this specifically, but a control panel. It was for the airship that I pilot.

[captainobnoxious]

[...]

That's not because you just can't eat popcorn, right?

[Her shitty attempt at a joke has been made.]

[greatestcool]

It is pretty fun!

[shut up ryuunosuke]

[amygdalae]

I'm sure I can make a keypad that can probably entertain you in the same fashion.

[You can press all the buttons you need then and nobody needs to worry.]

[ratingspoint]

[The laugh that gets out of him is more than a little dry.]

That's true! That's very true.

[After a moment, he gestures vaguely at the courtroom again.]

...We won't wake up in there, you know. Thankfully enough. That was mostly for show.

[garudynamic]

[Sorry Ryuu, you don't get the same slightly-less-pissed expression MTT does- he's come to a similar assumption about your vic pool that others did and kinda looks like he stepped in something foul]

Glad to provide then.

[pokexplorer]

I certainly cannot deny it.

[Maybe he was assuming too much that some kid wasn't gonna show up and mess with his dang ship.

...Thankfully that didn't happen but it could have.]

[captainobnoxious]

Oh.

[... There's that thing again. The airship. The ship that floats on air.]

You're gonna have to show me this airship of yours if it's still in working order.

[ratingspoint]

[what fucking logic is that even- ]

Please. Someone I don't think will get Ryuunosuke and I killed would be appreciated.

[cherryblooded]

Relieving. Where will we be waking up?
