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?

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.]

[isafraid]

[...] Ah, guess it's just in my nature now. Seeing you try as hard as you have, all the time. I wager you'd need someone around to put some trust into ya.

[She can awkwardly stare at the ground all she wants. He doesn't mind, he's probably still trying to get his neck muscles to work. God if he doesn't get a cup of tea soon...

But yeah, he feels pretty good about this. All this.]

Suppose we're really not all that different, huh?

[captainobnoxious]

[Hee.]

Suppose not. Neither of us get the whole techy thing, everyone's from the future or... well, in my case, the dead past, and it's all been really confusing.

That said, though. Who's the person you would go against the world for? Since you seemed to get that.

[isafraid]

Who? [ Oh. Uh, hmmmm. He's got to consider that, because he's still a bit groggy from sleeping for two months.]

...That person would probably be mister Joestar. He was the first bloke I ever met that actually showed me a bit of kindness, told me I could be better then I was too. It was astounding, specially since I'd just tried to jump the poor man.

[...He frowns. Oh.] He's lost his family and house alike now, all because of Dio. I've been sticking by him through thick and thin since then. Zombies and vampires alike didn't stand a chance. I have no doubt that he saved the world by the end of our adventure.

...Probably him. [he nods] You're all plenty important to me as well, of course.

[captainobnoxious]

Yup, we're not so different after all.

[Alright, she's giving him a hug too, there's not many people who're gonna escape her.]

Speaking of this Dio fellow, honey, provided he's not already dead by that Joestar of your's hand, mind if I take a crack at him? I promise I won't die.

[isafraid]

[Oh! Boy, he doesn't get many hugs, that's for sure. But he'll be buggered if he won't return the kind gesture.]

Well... seems like you're out of luck. Last I recall, Jonathan had sliced him into pieces and he fell of his castle. And we made an effort to burn whatever remained of the brute.

[He's not all that torn up about her not being able to fight Dio.]

[captainobnoxious]

[Well, someone is.]

That's a damn shame. Oh well. You just let me know if anyone else comes up then, honey, I'm your eternal ally.

[isafraid]

[sorry not sorry Sigrun

Patpat]

It's alright. Probably plenty of who knows what out there in the world. although, not like I'm in any rush to go out and find it. Feels like I've had enough adventure for some time. [he smiles.] But I appreciate the offer.

[captainobnoxious]

Adventure is the spice of life. And the main dish. And the dessert. And everything else, actually, it's good!

[...]

But I think you could lay low for a little while and get away with it. I just can't myself, actually, I'm in the middle of a mission that might take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. So it's right back into the action for me!

[Might explain why she's more content to sit on the floor for now, actually.]

[isafraid]

[heh]

Into the real action. No more of this... fake technology stuff. [And even more death probably.] I don't envy you your mission, captain!

[....He breathes in a bit.]

So. Mettaton, eh?

[captainobnoxious]

[her mission should be envied it's a goddamn vacation for her--]

... The person I'd go against the world for. [It's still a true feeling burning in her now, even if... well, even if he doesn't deserve it, and even if it feels like things are gonna be Weird when she eventually talks to him.

Because she has to talk to him. Sigrun chuckles softly, sighing.] Yeah. I don't know if I should be apologizing for letting my feelings get away from me this time though. And it's not like I'm letting him get away with anything either, I'll assure each and every one of you that he and Ryuu are getting their dues in my tough world. You've all heard stories of what it's like by now.

[There's not a chance either of them aren't going unpunished especially since Redd gave me permission to have Ryuunosuke be immune so he has to do exercise.]

[isafraid]

[After going through the shit she did here, no one would likely say she's having a tough time of it.]

Indeed we have, at least I've gotten the gist of it: monsters made of people and full of end of the world as the rest of those blokes know it? [With a hand, he gestures to the rest of their happy little group. Not like he really knows what's been lost in her time.] I'd feel a bit more sorry for the monsters you cross then them, seeing as they're fairly capable themselves.

[After all... they started this mess. Speedwagon lets out a little laugh.] Love's got ya by the throat, captain, but I'm not gonna blame you.

[captainobnoxious]

[auuuugh she knoooows love is such a fucking four letter curse and she cannot stop herself from kind of just

covering her face. someone needs to save her.]

I know it's terrible and awful and like, the greatest thing in the whole wide world at the same time, but boy has it made my life really, really hard. [... Not that she can say she regrets it though.]

Never fall in love with someone, sweetheart. That's my advice to you. And if you do, make sure they're not secretly running a murder show for everyone's enjoyment. That might kill the mood a little.

[isafraid]

[No one can save you now, Sigrun. Even Speedwagon is getting in on the gentle teasing. This is the romantic path you have chosen for yourself.]

Aha! [That actually gets a tired laugh from him.] Suppose I never did have much time for romance, going through all that. I'm the same as always, even if it got me thinking about it.

[He sees her non-regret. And... well, he's alright.] If I do ever fall in love, I'm going to make sure it's not during these dreadful games.
