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?

And to be fair, entrusting your fate to someone who wouldn't shut up about wanting to see you dead is a fundamentally stupid idea.

[captainobnoxious]

[Oh too late but uh. While she's pressing Button Number Two.]

We could, but that's boring and predictable. And I'm really full of energy right now. And I'm tired of standing around doing nothing but talk.

[cherryblooded]

If you kill someone by pressing a random button I will never forgive you.

For the record.

[captainobnoxious]

My legs are killing me but I look great and I'm the tallest person in the room besides Mettaton. So yes. They're treating me well enough.

[She respects Mettaton so hard for being able to walk with these things.]

[ratingspoint]

[THAT ONE does not seem to have done anything but an espresso machine somewhere is probably now on.]

...Sweetheart, at this rate if anyone deletes them all it's going to be you, not us.

[JUST...SAYING...]

[cherryblooded]

Please tell me what we're supposed to be pressing.

[captainobnoxious]

I accept that risk. You're still welcome to stay in my world.

[amygdalae]

...I guess we'll just have to see how that pans out.

[Still waiting for that other shoe.]

[goodforsomething]

That's the idea!

[pokexplorer]

Miss Sigrun, we just talked about this...

[There's a lot of concern in his voice.]

[cherryblooded]

I'm sorry, I don't think I was clear enough - stop before you get us all killed.

[captainobnoxious]

[... Why are these buttons useless???]

I mean, you have a point, but there's probably more good buttons than bad buttons.

[...]

C'mere and show me what to press, then. I guess.

[Because if there was ever someone who could stop her from stupid stuff it was Mettaton, and that's still painfully true.]

[amygdalae]

We both have had our fair share of fundamentally stupid ideas.

[Just saying.]

[captainobnoxious]

[Well, at least she stopped.]

[cherryblooded]

[Thank god.]

[sleepingkogoro]

[Mouri is quietly hiding his face in his hands. God damn it, who let Sigrun get onto the console]

[ratingspoint]

Oh, I'm not denying that.

Just remember that you're also the one who's tried so hard to sympathize with every culprit in that pit so far - unless that was just for show? If it was, you're a better actor than I gave you credit for!

So either stop trying to take the moral high ground here and acknowledge that you don't have any, or admit that you lied when you spoke to everyone else during those trials. I've already said that I don't want to see you die, I don't know what else you expect from me other than that.

["OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH" intensifies, I'm so sorry about the peanut gallery]

[captainobnoxious]

[this is what happens when you have a steamroller of a leader person with you]

[isafraid]

[...There is the fact that he's a robot and she's human but, okay. Yeah. You do you, Sigrun.]

Well that makes me the third tallest again. [truly a shame] And they do look a bit uncomfortable.

[ratingspoint]

[...sweetheart, he loves you dearly but go play with glory for a bit or something, you aren't helping]

[captainobnoxious]

[ryuu can "ooooooooh" for her sigrun can't do anything but snort at that

who is she snorting at?? who knows. tis a mystery]

[isafraid]

[/quietly and fearfully sends moral support]

[greatestcool]

[WHEN HAS HE EVER HELPED yeah alright, alright, he'll sit]

[captainobnoxious]

Beauty is worth the pain. They're my lucky boots, after all, even if they've gotten me into shit recently.

[But excuse her, she has buttons to press.]
