Take Initiative.

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."

Oh, of course not, sweetheart - they never are in things like this, are they?

[...hi, Cherryblod. If he finds this awkward (he does), he certainly isn't going to act like it.]

[Hi, Mettaton. Sigrun hasn't punched him in the face yet so he can't hug, but there weren't any promises about lightly brushing hands.

It's amazing how much you can miss physical contact with someone and not fully realize it until you get to touch them again.]

Figures. So do you know what everything does?

More or less.

I also imagine no one wants me touching it, after everything that was said in there.

[About deleting all the dead people.]

If one of us did it, we'd just end up pressing whatever buttons you two told us worked, and it wouldn't make much difference.

[The laugh that gets out of him is more than a little dry.]

That's true! That's very true.

[After a moment, he gestures vaguely at the courtroom again.]

...We won't wake up in there, you know. Thankfully enough. That was mostly for show.

Relieving. Where will we be waking up?

It's a facility sort of like this! Technology-wise. It's less atmospherically terrible? It's like someone actually knew how to decorate over there.

There's also a massive portal in there that you probably can't miss, as well as various things to play with for the sake of setup. I'm pretty sure all of our execution holograms and the like are still calibrated in there, among other things.

[...In case anybody feels morbid today.]

I look forward to seeing it.

[He's also glad to hear the portal is massive. Hopefully it fits a thirty foot lobster.]

Run it through me, then. I'll handle it.

[...well, he's the guy who was actively opposing against them. Gotta be the most trustworthy thing to do now, right?]

[what fucking logic is that even- ]

Please. Someone I don't think will get Ryuunosuke and I killed would be appreciated.

I'll do it. -Sorry, Bruce.

[...

Just. The most tired sigh.]

Fine. You guys made the choice, you handle it.

[He's still in Very Done mode.]

We will. You just... try to relax, or something like that?

[Is that a thing Bruce can do?]

[...you're asking Bruce to relax when they have both masterminds with them.

Two people who have caused hell in all their lives for the last two months, he might add. Forgive him if he can't find it in himself to exactly lower his guard.]

...not until we get everyone out once and for all.

[He's still waiting for the other shoe to drop.]

That's fair.

[They are kind of suspect.]

You will be efficient at this before you know it.

[Support from the apparent control panel expert.]

Thank you. I'm sure with the proper instruction I'll do fine.

[THE GREATEST EYEROLL.]

I'm not stupid enough to go against what everyone else wants - they made their decision and I'll respect it. As long as you don't do anything to make me go against that, I won't do anything, either.

[So there is that.]

You know, given that you're someone who's been yelling about how much we're going to backstab you all and willfully misinterpreting everything we say, you have no room to talk.

[Move the fuck on, Banner.]

[quiet "ooooooooooooooooooh" from the peanut gallery]

[ are all gingers (fake or otherwise) actually 12 year olds

srs question here ]

[all the ones you've been (un)fortunate enough to meet, apparently!!]

To be fair, you haven't exactly done anything to change my beliefs on that matter.

[But fine, he'll move on.

It's not like they're going to meet again after this.]

....I don't know, they did both agree to Sigrun's conditions.

[Even the noodle.]
