Take Initiative.

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?

Okay- when we last talked you asked me if I liked you. Was that legit? I mean, you weren't playing a role as part of the game? I won't be mad if it was, I just want to know.

[trustharder]

. . . . . . . .
BLACK TOLD ME THAT SEVERAL OF YOU LIKED ME.
AND THAT IT WASN'T FAIR TO BETRAY THE GROUP AGAIN.
YOU ALL HAVE AN UNFORTUNATE HABIT OF BEING BETRAYED BY PEOPLE YOU LIKE.
SO I WANTED TO SEE IF THAT WAS TRUE.

[garudynamic]

...yeah, yeah I guess so. Though... I guess you are kinda a special case. We can't expect you to go against what you're programmed to do.

[It's like blaming a dog for biting- she had to be what she was. Morality has little to do with it.]

[trustharder]

THAT'S WHAT I THINK, TOO.
SO IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE.

[garudynamic]

I'm tired of being mad at people, and I guess with you it'd literally be like banging against a brick wall anyways.

[trustharder]

. . . . . . . .
DON'T LOOK BACK IN ANGER, RIGHT?

[someone heard you like oasis.]

[He laughs in bright surprise- though she had to know him in and out to know his secrets. So maybe he shouldn't be surprised? What's the Story, Morning Glory?]

Yeah, yeah exactly like that. It'll take awhile, but yeah...

So, what now? For you? The Kingmaker...s... are leaving.

GABRIEL KNIGHT HAS SPECIFIED AND DESIGNATED THAT YOU ARE ALL THE KING.
SO I GUESS THAT'S UP TO YOU TO DECIDE.

[IF THIS GOES TITS-UP IN THE NEXT TWENTY SECONDS, IT'S GABRIEL'S FAULT.]

[garudynamic]

What do you want to happen?

[trustharder]

. . . . . . . .
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

[garudynamic]

Hmm... okay, what set of outcomes would be best for you, specifically?

[trustharder]

I DON'T KNOW.
I WAS CREATED TO SERVE WHOMEVER IS DESIGNATED AS THE KING.
THAT WOULD BE ALL OF YOU.
WHATEVER YOU DECIDE IS THE BEST OUTCOME.

[He makes a small sad noise- like guilt this is likely too beyond her ability to comprehend]

I know some of us want to stop the other games. Would you be able to help them?

[trustharder]

IF THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT, THEN MAYBE.

[garudynamic]

Maybe?

[trustharder]

I CAN'T KNOW IF THEY'RE GOING TO ASK ME TO DO SOMETHING THAT'S PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE.

[YOU NEVER KNOW.]

[garudynamic]

Probably just help people REACH them, or find them.

[trustharder]

OH! THAT SHOULD BE FINE.
