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."

[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.]

[Very suspect.

But you guys wanted this, and he'll respect that. No matter how much he thinks its still an incredibly bad idea.]

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.]

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

[Still waiting for that other shoe.]

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.

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

[Just saying.]

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]

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

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

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

[This really isn't the best time and place for this, Mettaton, but.]

It's not for show. I can sympathize, but that doesn't mean that I can forgive and forget. Those two aren't the same. But at the same time you're the one who's abused the trust others have given you - not once, but twice, even though you knew what it'd do for the people closest to you.

Perhaps I am a hypocrite for being the one unwilling to spare you after everything, but you haven't exactly done anything to redeem yourself at that point. Remember that they're the ones now who are letting you take the first step.

I'm not going to apologize, but I'll stop here and won't get in your way anymore, unless you give me reason to.
