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?

[And thus, about three weeks or so after dying on Good Friday, Jesus-nee rose from the grave and began feasting on the brains of the living--nah, just kidding. That is thankfully not an issue that you guys are going to have to worry about here, though Megumi is certainly going to take a minute to be very afraid of that possibility, choosing not to try to get out of this pod right away just yet.

Once the initial wooziness of waking up has passed and she is relieved to find that her mental faculties are indeed working properly, there's a momentary wonderment at the realization that wow, she is actually alive right now. Honestly, she was almost expecting to sort of just blink out of existence once the simulation ended, and yet, here we are.

... She might need a little help getting out of this pod, though: being on the verge of death and then proceeding to spend two months in stasis has probably not done any favors for her mobility skills here.]

[goodforsomething]

Oh - hell, here.

[For all that the stasis pods did Stan no favors, his instinctive thought is that the dead still had it worse. He moves as quickly as possible to offer Megumi a hand.]

Careful standin' up, these are some killer drugs.

[devastation]

O--okay...

[The help is definitely appreciated here, and she will gladly take Stan's hand here to help her out.

... And sure enough, standing up is proving to be a herculean task to accomplish here, so we apologize if she wobbles quite a bit once she's out of the pod. But it's also a good thing too, she thinks, actually having feeling in her legs here. It's a sign that we really are alive.]

Thank you. I don't think I would have made it out of that pod on my own, to be honest...

[goodforsomething]

Ha, I barely made it myself. Nothin' for old bones like lyin' in a coffin for two months!

[Stan gives a rather self-deprecating bark of laughter. He'll be fine.]

How're you feelin', otherwise? [Last he saw you you were sort of super dead]

[devastation]

Tired, but... happy to be alive and with everyone here again.

[It's a relief honestly, not being super dead right now...]

And you, Stan-san?

[goodforsomething]

Heh, about the same. [Stan stretches, cracking a few joints.] It's gonna be good to finally get home.

[guess who doesn't know about your zombie apocalypse megs]

[isafraid]

[Oh shit stumbling right over here. There's too many people wake up right now, and too many for Speedwagon to help because dammit Speedwagon that's just in his nature. So many faces he hasn't seen in weeks; he's got to pick up on the slack!

He's approaching the pod - stumbling, really. Whoo, hang on.]

Miss Megumi... [He's trying to give her space, but he's also gonna help her out of that pod because those things suck.] Easy now...

[devastation]

[Between Stan and Speedwagon, it looks like Megumi will be able to get out of this pod, thankfully. Her legs wobble quite a bit in her attempts to stand, however, so she might have to either lean on someone or take a seat on the floor for a little while.

Still, the smile she gives him is tired, but relieved.]

Thank you, Speedwagon-san. [... Actually, she might need to drop the honorifics here soon, all things considered.] I'm sorry to be a bother, but I really appreciate your help here.

[isafraid]

[Thank goodness for that. He doesn't want to see anyone faceplanting into the floor anymore. That happened to him. Not fun.]

You're welcome. [He makes sure to return that smile. The least she deserves.] It's really no bother at all... I'd imagine dying takes a fair bit out of you.

[devastation]

[That gets a weak laugh out of her for that one.]

Indeed, it does... [In more ways than one] But I'm glad that we're alive now, and I'd like for us to try to stay that way for as long as possible.

[no more murder games or people killing each other here, please and thank you]

What about you? How are you feeling?

[isafraid]

Trust me, I'm quite glad to see you're alive again. [Too many good people kicking the bucket, man.]

Me? Well I feel like I could sing a song of joy! [...coughcough.] But perhaps later, when we're all feeling better. Can you stand on your own?

[cherryblooded]

[Once he spots her struggling, Cherryblod hurries to Megumi's side.]

Easy, now. No rush.

[devastation]

Thank you, Cherryblod-san. [Thank you for not rushing her here, she honestly kind of needs a minute to remember how legs work. Still, once she's had a moment to breathe outside of this pod, she actually gives him a smile.]

It's so good to see you again... and I'm glad that things worked out for you here.

[Said with a slight glance in the direction of wherever the heck Mettaton and Ryuunosuke is: to the surprise of probably no one, Megumi is kind of relieved that you guys spared those two and came up with a more peaceful alternative instead of killing them, despite all of the trouble they caused.]

[cherryblooded]

I'm glad to see you, too.

[No one's more pleased about how things turned out with the ex-Kingmakers than him, trust me.]

How are you feeling?

[devastation]

Tired, mostly, but... relieved, too. I'm so happy that all of us made it here. [...] To be honest, I'm a little surprised that includes me as well.

[She legitimately was not expecting to be here with the rest of you, considering the things she could remember now regarding her memories.]

[cherryblooded]

[He doesn't know what happened to her, but...]

It wouldn't be the same without you. Of course you had to come along.

[amygdalae]

[Bruce is only around after Megumi is out of her pod and has some time to rest; he's had to do the same after all.

He approaches her with a small smile, giving her a small wave before coming to a stop in front of her.]

Hey.

[devastation]

Hey. [Bruce will be getting a small wave and smile in return as well.] How are you feeling, Bruce-san?

[amygdalae]

Good enough, all things considered.

[And glad that at least, things seem to have turned out alright.]

How about you?

[devastation]

... Happy to be alive, all things considered.

[Seriously, it's... kind of a miracle that everything worked out, really.]

[amygdalae]

[It really is a miracle. Part of Bruce is still waiting for the other shoe to drop, but. No need to spoil the happy mood.]

I'm glad we're all alive. [And not actually dead.]

[captainobnoxious]

[Whenever she's done being mostly wibbly wobbly, Sigrun's scooping Megumi into a hug.]

Hi, sweetheart! I'm so happy to see you alive! I hope those two fighting idiots didn't cause you too much trouble, and if they did I'll seek them out again and give them a good knock to the head!

[devastation]

[The hug's a little surprising, but soon enough, Megumi's going to return it with a hug of her own.]

I'm very happy to see you again too, Sigrun-san. [Ahaha] You don't have to worry too much about those two: they're certainly a handful sometimes, but... it did help make things feel lively while we were on the other side together.

[An actual, honest to god compliment about the fighting idiots, isn't that something.]

[captainobnoxious]

[Of course Megumi'd have something nice to say about them.]

That's good. Really, one of the only good things I thought about people dying every week is that everyone on the other side wouldn't be so lonely. Even if things started getting pretty quiet on ours.

[devastation]

[Oh...]

Well, that's not something you'll have to be concerned about again, hm? We're all alive and together here now.

[Sure, there might be some dangers waiting for them after this, but for now... it's nice, not being involved in that murder game anymore.]
