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?

No way! I'm going with Kamui and we're gonna go find his brother. Once we're done with that, we're gonna kill Yuri Lowell and then... who knows? I'll follow Kamui anywhere.

[...zagi he killed you...]

[garudynamic]

[Awww, but Black's squishy and comfy]

Guess I'll have to start working on my English, huh? [He pauses, thinking]

Well, since you had to waste yours on something else- [Prepare for a kiss Black- you said YOU couldn't do it, but not that Yosuke couldn't, after all.

...i-it is a bit less chaste then the first one though. Sorry bro]

[happysweets]

You can't help who you fall in love with. If there's one thing I know for a fact, it's that. And sometimes when you're in love, you get hurt, and you get hurt badly. It shouldn't happen, and it's terrible that it does, but it's a part of love. Getting hurt by the person you care about most is...awful, it's one of the worst feelings in the whole world, but, not everything in love is sunshine and glitter, as much as I wish that it was.

...I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, Sigrun. I hope that he does love you, though. I hope that one day when he sees you he realizes that you're his whole world and that holding your hand is his favorite thing to do in life and that you both will get a happy ending, one that you worked hard to get, like all the best love stories have.

Whether it works out or it doesn't, I'm not a future-teller, so I couldn't tell you, but true love finds a way. That's what I tell myself all the time. ...If he doesn't love you, you'll find a way to make sure that one day he does, if you want it bad enough.

[ Something else she tells herself all the time. ]

I'll be cheering you on.

[happysweets]

...Well, did you redo it yet?

[ Because now seems like as perfect of a time for that as any! ]

It sounds like it was very tender, though! And really cute! Holding hands, a shy first kiss...it sounds lovely! I'm so jealous! My first kiss with Light wasn't anywhere near as romantic as that...I'm happy you don't regret it, and you both enjoyed it at the time! That's the most important thing!

[captainobnoxious]

[can sigrun really hold a high ground here, though

like really]

Sounds like a fine plan! But uh, who's that Yuri person anyway?

[uro_cyon]

I don't back down from a challenge. [ Which explains why he gets himself in so much trouble, honestly.]

[cherryblooded]

It was intended as one.

[Those days were fun.]

[penduli]

[ WH HEY hey this is

...no, this is fine, he's perfectly okay with this, especially with it being a bit less chaste. He's humming, very happily, and—yes, fine, again he's the one pulling away (turning his face, really), because he needs to laugh and breathe and aaaaaaaaaaugh, god. ]

You should get better at kissing before we meet up again. [ Black, please. ] Did you really decide you were going to waste your favor on that? And you were so rude about it, too. You're supposed to say what it is, not just dive for it.

[ Black. ]

...I was going to kiss you anyway. [ A shy glance. ] If it turned out we weren't ever going to see each other again. Sort of like, you know, as a farewell thing?

[lackinginfaith]

I'm in for that. I'm not leaving either all of you or my own world behind for good.

[captainobnoxious]

[... So she's not crying in any thread (yet???) but she'd get pretty damn close in this one, though she's burying her face into Misa's shoulder instead. This is nice. She likes hugs.]

If your boy isn't up to snuff, let me know. I'll punch him for you. Because you deserve like, every world ten thousands of times over, and I'm really happy that you and I are friends. [...] Best friends.

[Misa and Aqua were the girls Sigrun cared the most for out of all of them, minus the obvious herself. She thinks she can count them both as her best friends. The people she wants to keep in touch with no matter what, that she'd cross worlds for to help out.

... The people she would've done anything not to lose, at this point.]

Thanks. I really hope things work out for you too, however they do. And if you ever need me, I'll cross the worlds for you. I promise.

[ratingspoint]

[And he smiles a bit once that's out there, and the expression is softer than it usually is.]

Well...first of all, darling, you really need to stop calling yourself stupid. I wouldn't bother with you if I thought that was the case.

[That aside, though.]

...I know it probably doesn't seem like it, but I try to make things right by people when I can. When I know that what I've done has hurt someone I care about. Because if I'm bothering to care about them at all, they must be important. Special. Whatever you want to call it.

I know that what I've done is unforgivable. Several times over. So it's fine if you don't forgive me. And I don't...want to die, but I know I deserve that much. So that's fine too.

But I'm always going to be glad that I met you. Even if I'm sorry for everything I put you through as a result, I can't regret meeting you. Because I'm self-centered and selfish like that, too.

...If there's anything I can do to start making it right by you, then I'd like to. But for now, just know that I am sorry for everything that happened. Everything I did and everything I caused. ...And for stabbing you in the back like six times at least, because that's going to suck for a long time and I know it.

[He shrugs a bit once that's out there; that...was a thing.]

[garudynamic]

...I was kinda worried I'd chicken out if I did. [He doesn't consider it a waste at all, thank you very much] -and hey! I'm not THAT bad! I take it back.

[Huff, and turning red]

...something to remember everything by?

[lackinginfaith]

Well, at least not alone, anyway. I'm glad you all made it out, too. We were counting on you.

[ratingspoint]

[...He really obviously has no idea what to do with that. Any of that. Wow.]

Well, you really shouldn't thank us, but...I know what you mean. It was like that for me, too, for a while. Last time, I mean.

[...]

Thank you for telling me all that, though, sweetheart. And...I'm sorry. For everything.

[ratingspoint]

I didn't think you would, sweetheart.

[...]

I'm sorry, you know. About Silver.

[God, he's just apologizing to goddamn everyone today, but you know what, he's got a lot to make up for.]

[ratingspoint]

...I did promise, didn't I.

I stand by what I said, then - whenever you like.

[penduli]

Not yet. [ but they will in a bit, oh my god, yosuke kissed black and it wasn't as chaste as all this ] Thanks. It's nothing I was expecting to get here, honestly, especially not after we mutually agreed it'd be pretty dumb to do anything like date someone in a place like that.

[ But getting attached and kissing was totally fine, yeah. ]

What was your first with Light like? [ welcome 2 gossip hour ]

[lackinginfaith]

Kamui might be a little cruel about this, but he's right about one thing. Ambitious lost his will to live a long time ago. If there's something after this for him, maybe he can find that and remember his friend.

[captainobnoxious]

[... It really is nice hearing it, and her heart deems her right when she thought weeks ago that she'd accept his apology, that she'd accept it now.

Forgiveness is a different matter entirely. Maybe someday though. When he's worked it off.]

You can start by holding still, bombshell. I've got something I've been wanting to do for a long time now.

[lackinginfaith]

I was only around for two weeks, and trying not to get attached to all your antics at that, but... yes. A little. Probably more to Yato. He's very invested in these things.

[penduli]

[ ...cute. ]

We should take a picture, it'll last longer. [ They can use his—no never mind, the polaroid was in the VR and also had no film. ] But sure. As if any of this—or you—is forgettable.

There's no one else like you out in any other world, Yosuke.

[penduli]

[ ...oh good, it's only one ghost. former ghost.



good. ]

Well, that's good. ...why's he so invested in it?

[paidinblood]

I don't mean it in a cruel way. I don't have any issue with him.

[Other than he's kind of weird and his face is really punchable? But that's petty.]

I'd want to be killed if I lost my important people too.

[...People. Not person.

Man that's fucking weird to say.]

[pokexplorer]

[Finally, Zagi gets a fight after reuniting with one of his fellow vault-goers...

God bless.]

You may absolutely battle all of them. Simply let me know when you are up to full strength. I am no longer as concerned about them taking too much damage, so you may go all-out.

[What the hell is happening here, calm down both of you.]

[lackinginfaith]

Sure. It sounds like we're going to have a lot to talk about.

[TIME FOR TRYING AND FAILING TO EXPLAIN THIS MESS OF A MANGA]
