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?

[Of anyone who is gonna stumble out of claustrophobic place first, it's gonna be Sigrun, and as soon as she's able to she's eating shit on the floor, groaning lightly. Give her a minute and she'll sit up, still... kind of groggy feeling, but pulling herself together for the moment.

... So. Join her on the floor or what. She can recount her bad life decisions in relative peace now, even if she's kind of scared to talk to anyone because what if they don't understand her anymore talking with her hands would be bad.]

[isafraid]

Need a hand?

[Because that's just the kind of guy he is, Speedwagon's not going to let a fellow floor-shit-eater stay like that forever. He's got control of his legs back!! mostly!!

okay they might give out again, but he's still making that offer... in completely understandable English at that.]

[captainobnoxious]

[... That's good shit, right there, and Sigrun'll simply pat the spot beside her.]

I'll take one in a bit, honey, [such amazing Norwegian she's got, but the relief of being able to understand and possibly understood is overriding everything weird about it, she's not the type to overthink things anyway,] but come sit with me for now. I don't get to be the second tallest in the room anymore.

[isafraid]

Huh. I guess some good thing's can't last forever. [He's not even thinking about the translation issues here. Someone should really bring that up.

It's not too difficult for him to just plop down next to her. Sitting on the floors pretty nice. He's just content to be awake... and safe for once in his life. Maybe this is the third time he's felt like that.]

Seems things actually worked out for the best.

[captainobnoxious]

[Someone who is smarter can. That's their responsibility.]

Seems like it. [...] Thank you for trusting me enough, even when things weren't at their best.

[It means a lot to her, even if she's kind of awkwardly staring at the ground. Being like this is weird but. She wanted to say so.]

[penduli]

[ ah yes, one of the people he wanted to... see.......


um. ]

...Miss Sigrun, are you... okay?

[captainobnoxious]

[... She's beaming.]

Perfectly fine! Better than ever! I have never felt more alive!

[Really, honestly, even if she is sitting on the ground.]

[penduli]

[ you sure?? coz you looked like you ate A WHOLE LOT OF SHI oh

oh he can understand her, that's nice, this is gonna be super lovely when he gets around to talking to everyone else! ]

I'm glad to hear your energy's still boundless. [ ...you know what, he's gonna join her on the ground. SIIGRUNNNNNN.... Leaning against her. ] We, uh. We did it? That's really nice.

[captainobnoxious]

[Honey, if you weren't expecting her to not just hug you the moment you sat down, you're wrong. So much hugging.]

We did it. [Ah... she's gonna cuddle him. He's still so cuddleable.] I knew we would. And now I've got a big responsibility, too, but I...

[... She's gonna cuddle him a little harder.]

Honestly, I don't know what to say to Mettaton. Am I still dating him since he's not actually dead or anything? Do I have to break up with him because he's a bad person? Like, what's the procedure here?

[sleepingkogoro]

[Hi, Sigrun]

Hey, captain. Feeling well enough? You have spent two months lying down, I thought you'd already be on your feet and running laps around.

[captainobnoxious]

[That gets a laugh out of her, and she just waves her hand with a sheepish grin.]

I'm just letting you all get to use the room first, that's all. I'll be up in no time. And then you'll be sorry you ever doubted my energy.

[sleepingkogoro]

Come on, don't be lazy. I was supposed to be the lazy one, what with my very first meeting in that place happening because I stayed in my room for too long.

[...yeah, now that he thinks about it...]

...that wasn't a very good first impression from me, eh?

[captainobnoxious]

It really wasn't. But you stepped up your game a lot since then, detective, even if I frankly can't agree with how you called out a certain someone as a bad person.

[happysweets]

Taking some well-earned rest, huh?

[ There's a pair of awfully twiggy arms wrapping around Sigrun pretty tight! ]

Did you miss me?

[captainobnoxious]

[AAAAAAAH MISS, YOU'RE GETTING THE OTHER BIGGEST HUG, DO NOT FRET!!]

I did! I missed you a lot, pigtails! [did you see the shitshow her romance ended up being] How're you feeling? Did everyone treat you well when you died? Who do I need to kick the asses of?

[happysweets]

[ UNFORTUNATELY SHE DID ]

You don't have to fight anyone, promise! Which was pretty surprising to me, too, honestly...

[ After all the bad words she had to say about murderers before, too. It was a bit of a surprise. ]

Misa-Misa's feeling pretty okay, though! Still a little wobbly, but alive, and that's good, because I have unfinished business.

[ Even if she doesn't know what's waiting for her. But she has to see. ]

You're the one I'm more curious about! How are you doing after, um, everything?

[ Because it was certainly Something, but, if anyone understands doing crazy things for the people you love, it's Misa, of course. ]

[captainobnoxious]

[SO. WHO'S BETTER COUPLE STILL. MISA AND LIGHT OR METTATON AND SIGRUN.]

I'm, uh. I'm something.

[That's a good way to say it. Very much avoiding looking at anything and anyone in particular.]

Lacking for words, mostly. Your advice really sucks, but... mind giving me an ice breaker at least? Kitten said that I should talk things out with him, but I don't know how to start.

[lackinginfaith]

...Sigrun?

[Caren looks over, trying to stay up herself.]

Good job. You saved them. All of us, after all.

[captainobnoxious]

[... She's actually getting complimented by killjoy Caren.

Well. Sigrun'll give her a gentle smile.]

You'd better not doubt my word again, honey. My way of leading's worked out for as long as I've been doing it, with some pitfalls in the way, but... it wasn't just me that saved everyone. Make sure you thank the others too.

[...]

Sorry about hitting you.

[lackinginfaith]

Like I told Black, I can't judge for that. Besides, you care about them and I was only in it for me and I only cared about saving Noel. ...So the hostage vault was fake, huh?

[captainobnoxious]

[That's fair, she understands doing it all for one person.

At the question, though, she gets more serious.]

... Well, that one in particular is, yeah. There's still a lot of games running out there though. Chances are there might be someone any of us know in it, even if the combination might be different. But we're going to stop them.

[pokexplorer]

[Colress will definitely join her!! Because seeing is hard right now with his glasses off, anyway. Best to just sit.]

You have my thanks, Sigrun.

[No Miss Sigrun??

...Well, he's definitely rather serious about what he's saying. That was what he wanted to get out, first and foremost.]

[captainobnoxious]

[... He looks so weird with his cat-tail hair and without his glasses, just give her a moment.]

You look better with glasses on. [sigrun.] I mean. You're welcome, Colress, even if I couldn't have done it without all of you too. We're a team.

[pokexplorer]

[He's a complete disaster at the moment, to be honest.]

Oh, don't worry, I'll have them back on in a moment. I needed a break from them- they've been on my face far too long.

[At least he agrees?]

Haha, I appreciate that. I admit that I was very concerned at first, but...it worked. You and Cherryblod are truly something.

["Something" could mean a lot of things, but this is in a good way, promise.]

[captainobnoxious]

[Well. She knows they are, but she's still got a sheepish grin.]

Trust's not something that's easily given, not easily earned, but... I mean, it was for kind of selfish reasons, in the end. Between you and me.

[Neither her or Cherryblod wanted to lose Mettaton again.]

... I didn't doubt their word though, after they gave it. Maybe it's just my nature. But I think I know the two of them well enough by now, even if Ryuu was mostly through our calls. I get him to a point.
