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?

...Why would you ever get tired of me, though.

[...SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE.]

[greatestcool]

Ah... Yeah.

[He nods a bit at that, though it's obvious he's kind of awkward.]

For what it's worth, I really am glad we got to work together. You're super important to me, Mettaton.

[ratingspoint]

...Vaguely so. Enough to give some direction and then shrug at you once I've got nothing.

[...At least he's honest.]

[uro_cyon]

[He gives a slight shrug.] It isn't what I would have done, but we all made it.

[ A beat.]

Best of luck to you Banner.

[captainobnoxious]

[IT REALLY ISN'T AND THAT'S KIND OF FREAKY

YOU REALLY ARE AN ACTOR AREN'T YOU]

I guess so. I mean, I know I said I'd kill you and all one day, and I do still mean that since I'm a woman of my word and I won't go back on that, but I also [breathe sigrun] really just want to hold your hand again?

[... yes. yes this is exactly how it's not gonna go]

[happysweets]

Me too. I'll have to find Gelus's Death Note, too...discretely, of course. Light has mine, after all, and if he's really gone, then someone else might have it, and that won't be good, so...lots to do.

[ Though it's curious that she still has her memories of it, even without ownership. They must have been brought out by the drugs... ]

I'd really...if the worst case scenario happens, I'll need lots of support, so I'd appreciate it if you did. But I'll hold out hope and bide my time.

[captainobnoxious]

[Well, someone is.]

That's a damn shame. Oh well. You just let me know if anyone else comes up then, honey, I'm your eternal ally.

[devastation]

Tired, mostly, but... relieved, too. I'm so happy that all of us made it here. [...] To be honest, I'm a little surprised that includes me as well.

[She legitimately was not expecting to be here with the rest of you, considering the things she could remember now regarding her memories.]

[penduli]

[ HE DESERVES THIS, HE'LL TAKE IT ]

You said anything, Miss Sigrun!

[prismbloom]

[ She's definitely not expecting that, but she returns the hug. It feels like an overdue thing, doesn't it? But she knows Bruce is careful in pretty much everything.

Which is why it's such a surprise that he's initiated the hug. Aqua lays her head on his shoulder, but she doesn't let go, not yet. ]

[happysweets]

As if I could ever be really upset with you, really!

[captainobnoxious]

[Awww. The dead were always in her thoughts. Haunting her, mostly.]

You look like a strawberry. It's cute.

[ratingspoint]

[He's quiet for a moment at that. Not really hesitating, just. Considering.]

I don't hate any of you either, you know. None of this was personal for me, and I don't regret getting to know you as well as I did.

[...]

You're...important.

[cherryblooded]

[He doesn't know what happened to her, but...]

It wouldn't be the same without you. Of course you had to come along.

[cherryblooded]

[No, they never do. But it makes him chuckle.]

Glad to see you're still the same Mettaton I know and love.

[ratingspoint]

Well, I'd better be, since we're going to be living together from here on out.

Cherryblod is going to try to act distant toward you for a while, but he'll adopt you within the month, I'm sure.

[devastation]

[That gets a weak laugh out of her for that one.]

Indeed, it does... [In more ways than one] But I'm glad that we're alive now, and I'd like for us to try to stay that way for as long as possible.

[no more murder games or people killing each other here, please and thank you]

What about you? How are you feeling?

[cherryblooded]

I'm looking forward to keeping it.

[garudynamic]

Not that you haven't already heard.

[He tilts his head, not looking at Black directly, but able to meet one eye at least.]

...I have a feeling what you're going to say. [No anger, and only a small, wistful sadness. Nothing can cut into the happiness of right now. Not until later. He refuses to taint this memory- he's already ruined too many.

'My Soul slides away. Don't look back in anger, I heard you say'. He makes a small breathless sound that's not really a laugh at all]

Go on. It's okay.

[trustharder]

SHE WAS FINE. AND ALSO TO MY KNOWLEDGE NOT DEAD.
SHE MIGHT BE NOW, THOUGH.
SHE WENT OFF TO CHECK ON SOME THINGS IN OTHER WORLDS.

[trustharder]

OH! THAT SHOULD BE FINE.

[isafraid]

Thank you kindly, Aqua. Looks like it all paid off in the end.

[...] Did you all happen to catch that trial, then?

[prismbloom]

So am I.

[ ... yeah, you're going to get another hug, shrimpdad. ]

[penduli]

[ Yikes. ...hmm. ]

Do you think an ordinary cellphone could work with contacting you, or was it something more advanced than that? [ Pretty much everyone has a cellphone nowadays. ...uh, certain people aside. ]

[prismbloom]

We did.

It was hard to see you all unless there were a significant number of people together, but we definitely saw it.
