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?

You asked for it! Alright, so there was this one time with me, a grossling, and a beast the size of a house--

[Boy, are you in for a treat. She will literally stand here and talk your ears off about her favorite kills and adventures. With every big hand gesture and bouncing excitement. rip anyone nearby]

-- and by that time, I ended up climbing onto a roof using all the bodies and watched the sunset with my crew!

[captainobnoxious]

[Kamui, darling... don't steal Caren's gig of being a tsundere...]

Then you're friends enough, honey. Just like you and me!

[pokexplorer]

Ah, well...air travel is the main method, but sea travel is better for a more subtle approach. You see, airships aren't exactly common in Unova. No one is going to bat an eye at a regular ship docked at the port, but they will at a ship in the sky.

[...He's describing this like it's some sort of evil secret base or something.

Oh wait.]

[blastiarm]

[THERE'S A REASON WHY YOU'RE HIS SISTER AND THIS IS EXACTLY IT

He's totally bouncing in place by the time she's done and if he had his knives you can bet he'd be twirling them around BECAUSE HE IS SO PUMPED HE WANTS TO FIGHT FIFTY THOUSAND THINGS]

That's so amazing! You really are the greatest, Sigrun! I need to see you in action! I'm definitely dragging Kamui to your world at some point because I'm not missing out on this!!

[WILD MANIC LAUGHTER]

[paidinblood]

[...Look friend is a strong word, he doesn't like- oh hold the fuck up.]

What makes you think I'd even want to be your friend?

[captainobnoxious]

You don't want to. You are.

[Says her.]

[paidinblood]

...Did you decide this the same way you decided I'm going to truth or dare?

[Ditch your boyfriend then we'll talk]

[captainobnoxious]

Yes.

[Like you have any room to talk about taste.]

[paidinblood]

Then there's no reasoning with you.

[My boyfriend didn't kidnap me and endanger my brother

...I mean Zagi has no taste, but-]

[captainobnoxious]

[It's Zagi though.]

Glad we agree! And you're not getting rid of me anyway, my brother's gonna wanna spend what time he can when you two aren't going around the different worlds killing things. You and me are practically family!

[captainobnoxious]

Well, that's just sad, Ryuu-honey, there's gotta be more than just that. What made you wanna be an artist?

[... And to like, fucking kill people to use as your materials, but you know what that's just because you're fucking crazy she's assuming.]

[paidinblood]

[...Of course he is.]

I don't care what you call me. Nicknames, your friend, it doesn't make a difference to me.

But don't call me family. Family's more meaningful than that. We're hardly above strangers.

[psychoh]

Love. [shrugs] It, uh, can make you pretty crazy, I guess.

You were brave, though. You were willing to make that choice to save everyone else, no matter how you felt... N-Not everyone can do that.

[greatestcool]

Mm, well, I've always found death fascinating. You can't really capture something like that in movies or books or things like that. It's an experience that's so unique and cool... and ultimately you only get one shot at it. So I wanted to learn more about that! I wanted to experience it and since I didn't want to kill myself, I figured the best way would be to see how others reacted!

[.............yeah he's fuckin' insane]

The art stuff sort of happened afterwards, because after awhile killing got boring. In fact, the art stuff was getting boring too and I ended up trying to summon a demon because I thought that might make things cool again for awhile.

[...fuckin' insane and apathetic!]

And that did work. Bluebeard was great and I'm so glad I got to meet him. But I died and since I summoned him, without me around I'm pretty sure he died too. I don't have the mark anymore, so.

[He rubs the back of his right hand again, as if that explains anything.]

...That didn't really answer your question, did it? Sorry. I guess pretty much everything I've done has been in pursuit of finding something that interests me and keeps my interest. I could tell you about all the times I've done stuff only to drop it because I got bored, but we'd be here forever.

[captainobnoxious]

That's a fair point! It just means that I'll look forward to the day when I can call you it, honey. Really. You're a good person and I like you well enough.

... And thanks for taking care of that nut, too, even though I'm sure it wasn't much of a chore. Things are just like that sometime, you know?

[captainobnoxious]

[HIS LAUGHTER... IT... reminds her of......

...............

NOPE. ZAGI IS ZAGI AND TEN TIMES BETTER BECAUSE HE'S HER BROTHER, YUP, PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE HAS A MANIAC LAUGHTER IT'S. NOT UNUSUAL!!]

I knew you'd be excited by it!! It's just the best thing in the whole goddamn world and it's my job, can you believe it?! I'm the luckiest woman alive! I get to do what I love and I kick ass at it!!

[She's gonna take him on so many fucking troll hunts??? THIS IS GONNA BE A BLAST]

[captainobnoxious]

[...]

This is 'cause you were working under that guy I'm gonna punch, right?

[paidinblood]

[Okay, if Sigrun wasn't crazy for not murdering her boyfriend, she's definitely crazy now.]

...I didn't really take care of him. We just spent time together. Mostly by fighting.

[captainobnoxious]

Good. Now, since I've pretty much asked the same thing to everyone else, what're you doing with yourself after all this time?

[Going back to his... many kingdoms of people who do things with elements?]

[blastiarm]

[IT'S TOTALLY NORMAL AND NOT WEIRD AT ALL!!!]

You really are lucky! My job wasn't anywhere near that awesome!

[probably because his boss was an asshole who literally shot him out a window

but then again he didn't show up for work for like a month or something??

but that was because he had yuri lowell to track down and kill]

You're totally going to take me troll hunting, got it? We're gonna destroy them!!

[GREATEST COOL oh wait wrong asshole]

[captainobnoxious]

[You don't understand, Kamui. Her selfish reasons are good enough.]

Do you really think there's any other way to take care of a maniac like that?

[paidinblood]

That's my maniac you're talking about.

[Sigrun's got a point.]

[captainobnoxious]

[Of course she does.]

Oooh, so you two really are that close, aren't you? When I heard you were fight-flirting and after talking to my brother himself I thought something like that might be the case! When'd you figure it out?

[please be after her. she only really realized she loved mettaton after he died and that was such a While]

[psychoh]

[you know how dogs will sometimes bark like crazy and act all tough when they're behind a fence, but when they're actually within range of another being they shut right the fuck up.

right now, he's sorta caught in a loop: he'll decide that he really does want to go speak to Cherry, and then he'll decide no, that's a terrible idea-- repeating the process over and over. for all the exciting inner tension going on, he's mostly just standing maybe five feet from him and staring at the floor. very fun.]

[amygdalae]

[Bruce pauses for a moment at that offer, mostly because he does have to give it through consideration - its definitely not something he can answer Sigrun immediately. It's easy enough to go 'yes' and help because that's what he always wanted to do, and if he could cure an epidemic like the one Sirgun's world is going through? It'll make things all the better.

But at the same time he's placed his responsibilities here, with what he does intend to do, and running off to Iceland for something else doesn't exactly tally up very well.]

If I ever find the time, I'll see what I can do. [That's the best that he can promise - although he will eventually make actual time for it in the future. But possibly not for a while, when emotions were still in the way.

Anyway, as he says that he gets out the gauze and antiseptic, because even though its been two months its still better to play it safe.]
