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?

[WELL, YOU TURNED THE LIGHTS OFF IN THE COURTROOM, YOU WINNER.]

[cherryblooded]

--We could ask what button we're supposed to press instead of pressing random ones, captain.

[He sounds and looks alarmed, actually?]

[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]

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

[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]

[Well, at least she stopped.]

[cherryblooded]

[Thank god.]

[captainobnoxious]

[OH BOY SHE DID SOMETHING

LOOK IT WAS

ENTIRELY USELESS

...

SHE'S NOT SURE IF SHE WANTS TO TURN IT BACK ON? THOSE COFFINS WERE KIND OF WEIRD. THEY UNSETTLED HER, EVEN IF THEY WERE JUST FOR SHOW.

Let's try button number two!!!!]

[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.

[ratingspoint]

Of course, darling. Give me a second.

[Just...let him look it over for a moment.]

The dead can be handled from the other side...right now I think we're all just tired of being here, so we should worry about that first.

I don't suppose anyone has card keys on them? The white ones.

[................bruce this is probably gonna get really awkward in a couple of seconds if you're the one with those, i think you are]

[cherryblooded]

[Ooooh yeah, that is awkward.]

Bruce, if you would hand those over to me, please?

[If you don't trust Mettaton, and you shouldn't, please trust Cherryblod.]

[amygdalae]

[...WELL WHAT DO YOU KNOW.

There may be a brief pause in here and its clear that Bruce is in fact incredibly reluctant, because Cherryblod you're not exactly on the top of his list either right now. But.

Deep breaths. No need to give Mettaton more reason to snark at him (even Bruce sure would love to snark back the whole day), the best way to prove himself is to be the better guy here and he certainly wants to get the fuck out of this VR too.

So.

He steps back in after having retreated to the doorway, only pausing for another moment before he smoothly takes out one of the two cardkeys and passes it to Cherryblod with a very pointed look. Don't fuck this up, or he swear he will Hulk Smash somebody with the fist of an angry... Hulk.]

[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.]

[sleepingkogoro]

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

[captainobnoxious]

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

[isafraid]

[/quietly and fearfully sends moral support]

[captainobnoxious]

[FLUFFHEAD YOU ARE SUCH A BLESSING

SHE WILL CONQUER TECHNOLOGY FOR THE BOTH OF THEM!!! IT WILL NOT DEFEAT THEM!!!]

[isafraid]

[PLEASE DONT DELETE THEIR FRIENDS IN THE PROCESS OF DEFEATING TECHNOLOGY]

[ratingspoint]

If you need something to do with your hands that badly, you haven't punched me yet.

[captainobnoxious]

There's a lot of things I want to do with my hands right now, sweetheart, and punching you is on a lower end. I'm gonna press another button unless you give me something though, and this time it might not be so useless. Fair warning.

[... It's on the lower end of like, a list of three things.]

[ratingspoint]

If you want to kill them all, be my guest.

[Fucking hell, Sigrun.]

[pokexplorer]

[If there was ever a moment that he wanted to offer Sigrun that electric glove...]
