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?

[To absolutely no one's surprise, Zagi is trying to get out as soon as possible and this results in him neatly faceplanting onto the floor because what the hell do you expect when you've been in stasis for two months. 10/10. Flawless faceplant.

He pulls himself up quickly enough though and soon he's back on his feet and looking around. His expression is wild and when he laughs it's manic to a point that puts Ryuunosuke's crazy laughter to shame.]

Finally! You guys took your sweet time! For a moment there I thought we were really dead!

[But hey, at least he's not challenging everyone to a fight right away, right? That's... that's good...

(He's stretching now and will probably challenge everyone to a fight later.)

There are a few people he needs to look for specifically, but right now he's more focused on just being properly alive again.]

[cherryblooded]

Sorry, sorry. Welcome back, Zagi!

[Guess who's happy to see you, manic laughter or not.]

[blastiarm]

Hey, Cherry. I was wondering when I'd get to see you again.

[He does glance momentarily over at the mastermind duo over there, but he doesn't seem to care much about them and shrugs at Cherryblod instead.]

You wouldn't believe how boring being dead was.

[cherryblooded]

I can hardly imagine. I'd say it's the kind of thing that might bore you to death, if you weren't already dead.

[Remember that conversation about killing someone through boredom? Before the murders actually started? Good times.]

[blastiarm]

Oh trust me, it would've. I had some fun in there, but I also had to deal with Caren, so.

[Okay, he's actually trying not to smirk at that, but. That's not important!!]

[notjustawriter]

At least we made it out.

[Ah, it, uh....

Seems Zagi is more unbalanced than when Gabriel last saw him.]

[blastiarm]

[APPARENTLY YOU CAN'T RUSH OUT OF A POD-THING AS SOON AS YOU WAKE UP, WHO KNEW]

Yeeeep. That's the important part.

[Give him a moment to stretch his legs properly, he'll be fine.]

[notjustawriter]

You're in good spirits for a guy who's been in stasis for two months.

[Gabriel isn't even bothering to try to do much more than sit up right now, jfc, he'd probably break his spine.]

[blastiarm]

So've you, technically. And it wasn't like I was totally out of it, we were just in some other version of the Vault or something.

[Handwave. Who cares!]

[lackinginfaith]

Zagi, why am I not surprised?

[Caren shakes her head and just sighs, more long-suffering than actually upset.]

[blastiarm]

If you were, I'd have to wonder about you a bit.

[He's grinning though, because you know what, we're totally cool now.]

[lackinginfaith]

Stasis is still my least favourite thing. But we're out.

[blastiarm]

Agreed, actually. I'm gonna need awhile before I can fight properly again.

[is that the only thing he thinks about? probably]

[isafraid]

Oi! We were doing our best!

[Join the shit-eating club, Zagi. It's fun, which is a total lie.]

...Glad to see you're doing well.

[blastiarm]

Yeah, yeah, but if you'd left it to us we would've finished it in half the time.

[ALSO THOSE MASTERMINDS WOULD BE HELLA DEAD...]

Good to see you again. Seems like you guys figured yourselves out eventually.

[isafraid]

I don't doubt that. [LOOK AT THEIR GROUP it's amazing but also a mess.]

Seems that way. We all put our heads together and came out on top... Mind you, I'm still not sure how. [...] Guess trust had something to do with it.

[uro_cyon]

Good to see the stasis didn't affect you much. [Never change, Zagi.]

[blastiarm]

[DON'T WORRY, AIDEN. HE DOESN'T PLAN ON IT!]

Well, I feel kiiiinda like I'm gonna lose my balance any minute. This arm is definitely heavier here!

[no it isn't]

I'll get used to it though. I'm Adaptable for a reason, you know!

[zagi u little shit]

[uro_cyon]

[ Despite himself, he laughs just a bit.]

I think they should have given you a title that has to do with fighting, personally.

[captainobnoxious]

[Well hello there fellow floor eater. You're getting laughed at too, but it's nothing as maniac.]

That's the first thing you choose to say? Come on, brother, have some faith!

[blastiarm]

What else do you want me to say? I don't think "Fight me" would go over all that well when I'm like this.

[HE'S BECOME A NOODLE, SIGRUN.....]

And I don't know if you're expecting me to call you "sister" or what.

[He's smirking though; Sigrun is one of the ones he really wanted to talk to and now that he is... he's finding himself really unsure of what to say.]

[captainobnoxious]

[SHE'S COLLECTING NOODLES, ZAGI. IT'S OKAY. SHE CAN BEEF YOU UP TOO AND WON'T COMPLAIN HALF AS MUCH AS RYUUNOSUKE WILL.]

Nah, you don't have to. You really just reminded me of how things were back home. Couldn't help but give you a little honor like that.

[... Boy. What do you say to a guy who's been dead for a good while.]

So. Is that hair of yours natural?

[pokexplorer]

Apologies for the wait, Zagi. ...Welcome back, though.

[HE IS NOT SURPRISED ZAGI HAS NOT CHANGED ALL, CONSIDERING...

...oh yeah, also Beheeyem is here, giving him a Look.]

[blastiarm]

Hey Colress— What is that.

[CAN HE FIGHT IT no wait he can't fight anything right now DAMMIT]

[pokexplorer]

[He should have known this would happen oh Arceus-]

This is Beheeyem! Do you recall when I spoke with you all that one night? Beheeyem was helping with that.

...I think he may have almost retaliated a bit with you.

[...Beheeyem doesn't really look sorry, either. Apparently, he wouldn't turn down a fight now.]
