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?

GLORY

[trustharder]

[penduli]

[ ah yes ]

What's the story, morning Glory? [ ........god that was bad and he should feel bad for it. ] Er, that is... How are you?

[trustharder]

[The words will appear on the screen as they did before, quickly but one letter at a time, as though being typed.]

HELLO, BLACK.
I AM DOING FINE. AND YOU?

[penduli]

[ how does he put this very eloquently. ]

Like shit, actually. [ ...haha. ] It's not so bad. Mostly happy to be alive—like, really alive? And for everyone else to be fine, too.

[ A tilt in the direction of, well... everyone else. ]

Do you know if the portal's two-way or if it's just a one-time thing? Like—can we come and go between people's worlds as we please, or is it just going home?

[trustharder]

. . . . . . . .
IT CAN BE USED AS A TWO-WAY THING IF YOU WOULD LIKE IT TO BE.
IT WOULD REQUIRE SOMEONE TO RUN IT, THOUGH.

[notjustawriter]

[Well, it's time for some answers. He's not sure if Glory will have them, but he still remembers the important things that were in the hand-written journal.]

I've got some questions for you, if you don't mind.

[trustharder]

HELLO, GABRIEL KNIGHT.
I DON'T MIND ANSWERING QUESTIONS, IF I CAN.

[notjustawriter]

Thank you, Glory.

[He smiles.]

It doesn't look like Ambitious is here. Was he like you-- some sort of AI, the one the others were talkin' about?

[He'd say he's glad the warmonger isn't among them, but the sadist and the serial killer are still around, um]

[trustharder]

NO, HE WASN'T.
HE WAS A BAD PERSON. BUT HE WAS A PERSON AND NOT A PROGRAM.

[garudynamic]

[After everyone else has had their words with Glory, Yosuke comes over- he's not as close to her as some, but he 'found' her... he feels a responsibility.

He brings a finger to her screen, drawing swoops that don't show up- half out of habit, half wondering if his hand will sink into the glass now]

Hi. Again.

[trustharder]

HELLO, YOSUKE.
HOW ARE YOU?

[garudynamic]

A little doped up, but... good.

Can I ask you something?

[trustharder]

YOU CAN ASK ME ANYTHING YOU WANT. I DON'T MIND.

[sleepingkogoro]

[Mouri has time to be a detective. He really wants to rest for a while, and he will. There may be a longer interrogation at some later point, but unfortunately it won't be something anyone beyond the fourth wall will be privy too.

There is one question he feels he should ask, though]

Hello, Glory...so now what? What will happen to you? Will you shut down until someone else activates the system?

[trustharder]

HELLO, KOGORO MOURI.
A KING WILL BE DESIGNATED, AND THEY WILL DECIDE WHAT HAPPENS TO ME.

[Huh.]

[sleepingkogoro]

[Oh boy, that doesn't sound good]

What? How? No one here will be willing to take that role!

[trustharder]

WHY NOT?

[amygdalae]

[Hello, Glory. Bruce kind of dragged himself over here and is sort of... resting next to the screen.]

Nice to finally meet you, I suppose.

[trustharder]

HELLO, BRUCE BANNER.
IT IS NICE TO MEET YOU TOO!

[amygdalae]

[Somehow the exclamation mark more than anything is what gets out a laugh from him, short and sharp but still amused.

God, its not the first time he's had to deal with sentient AI but--Glory is at least much more palatable than Ultron.]

Yeah, it is. [A smile.] I've got a couple of questions I need answers for, if you wouldn't mind answering them.

[trustharder]

I DON'T MIND ANSWERING. IF I CAN, OF COURSE.

[captainobnoxious]

[... Well, okay, Sigrun can't resist coming over to the screen herself after a time, drawing a flower with her finger against it out of habit.]

Hi, Glory. I... wanted to thank you, actually. You were a big help today.

[And such a long day it's been, jesus christ.]

I couldn't have done this without everything you told me about yourself. Er, the yourself that was created, I guess. And... it's not fair to say you betrayed me or anything like that, so I'm not mad at you either. You were actually a nice shoulder to lean on. So to say. It was nice to know that I wasn't the only one who did something stupid for love at the time.

[... Even if it ended up being the Kingmaker's memories, or some other gamerunner's. She is not as much of a disaster as she could have been looking at them.]

[trustharder]

HELLO, SIGRUN.
IT'S NICE TO NOT BE ALONE IN HAVING THOUGHTS LIKE THAT. RIGHT?

[...It takes her a moment of thinking, but eventually...well. This happens.]

[captainobnoxious]

[oh my god

she got a flower even now, that is adorable, it's too bad she can't take you home herself, but have a drawn heart!!!]

Right! I figure you might've done the same for other groups at some point of time. Maybe. [...] Did you?

[trustharder]

I DIDN'T TALK TO THEM MUCH LAST TIME. IT WAS A VERY SHORT GAME.

[THANKS TO THE KINGMAKER DISASTER DUO.]

BUT THE TIME BEFORE THAT I DID, YES.
