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?

[greatestcool]

Yeah. I really hope he'll be happy again.

[amygdalae]

Yeah.

[Bruce knew he had to, or else he'd regret it. And he's had too many regrets to want to take on even more.

But still, despite that...]

I'm glad it worked out in the end.

[lackinginfaith]

[Caren reaches over to ruffle Black's hair.] Calm down, you'll hurt yourself.

[ratingspoint]

Oh my god. Don't apologize to me for that.

[Well, that's immediate.]

I get why you were upset. You don't have to apologize for it.

[happysweets]

Aqua said a bad word...

[captainobnoxious]

There's not glitter in my world, but I'll make due somehow.

[... Okay, she'll let go though.]

Thanks for standing with me. Sorry I made things for difficult for you and made you spy on people again, even if they knew.

[And now he's getting a noogie.]

But did you really have to tell him that secret in particular, kitten?

[garudynamic]

Probably just help people REACH them, or find them.

[lackinginfaith]

You're definitely that. I think we're all grateful.

[cherryblooded]

[Guess who's getting the happiest hug right now, without warning?

That's right, it's you, Colress! Enjoy it. He's barely even noticed the state of his hair.]

[penduli]

[ ...oh. ]

The person the locket belonged to. [ Okay. ] How was she doing the last time you spoke to her?

[cherryblooded]

It might take some time. But we'll work on it.

[garudynamic]

Thanks Dad. Gotta go out on a bang, right?

[captainobnoxious]

[oh god this is a mistake

she's trying not to laugh. ahem. ahem ahem. deep breath--]

Are we still dating?

[...... #nailedit]

[cherryblooded]

Really, now. I didn't do much of anything.

[...Cherryblod...]

[prismbloom]

... Well, if any time is appropriate, it's now, isn't it?

[cherryblooded]

Something like that, dear.

[And he's getting the tightest, happiest hug there ever was.]

[lackinginfaith]

[You're getting a hair ruffle like your boyfriend.]

Sure. Just no more bloodletting, okay?

[penduli]

Really? I couldn't tell. [ ...your not-boyfriend is such an asshole sometimes, Yosuke.

But sure, they can. He'll even offer his arm like a gentleman. ] Need some help getting over there?

[captainobnoxious]

[It's so easy to forget they do, really. Ghosts!]

Too many. And I can't even join up myself, what the hell are they gonna do without me?

[But she's got a joking tone and a smile. She believes in them.]

[isafraid]

[Oh! Boy, he doesn't get many hugs, that's for sure. But he'll be buggered if he won't return the kind gesture.]

Well... seems like you're out of luck. Last I recall, Jonathan had sliced him into pieces and he fell of his castle. And we made an effort to burn whatever remained of the brute.

[He's not all that torn up about her not being able to fight Dio.]

[prismbloom]

[ Oh.

She immediately looks at him, and she looks surprised. More than surprised, actually, but. ]

I don't want to lose someone like you, either. Especially not after all we've been through.

[blastiarm]

You're really cute when you smile.

[It's part-teasing, part-genuine. He really does like that smile!]

Don't worry, okay? I don't care how long it takes or how many worlds we have to go to. We'll find your brother.

[lackinginfaith]

Heh. What are you going to do now?

[garudynamic]

OOF! Heh...

[He laughs breathlessly]

You got a lot to do after this, huh?

[prismbloom]

Surprisingly, yes.
