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?

...Like you're any better.

[He is walking a tiny bit better, thank you--! He still looks absolutely ridiculous.]

[captainobnoxious]

[He really does...]

Yeah, well, it's not like anyone here is at their best. I'm still pretty up there though. How was being dead?

[paidinblood]

It was boring.

[And miserable. But not completely terrible?]

Except for the parts where I fought Zagi.

[It was awful except for Zagi. ...And Caren. And maybe Yato?]

[captainobnoxious]

[That's... that's a group of people for things not to be awful with.]

So you two kept at it? I'm glad, that guy really looks like he needs someone who can keep up with him the way you can. How many times have you won?

[paidinblood]

It's hard to have a winner when you can't get injured. Most of the time we'd just keep going for as long as we wanted.

[...And he'd win most of the fights that didn't end up like that, but he'll let Zagi have some pride.]

[captainobnoxious]

That sounds like fun. Almost wish I could've joined you two.

[She would've loved to fight them, holy shit.]

Did you two do more arts and crafts projects like the library? I would've done the same thing. All the books in there were useless.

[paidinblood]

We tried to see how high we could get paint covered footprints up the wall sometimes. Zagi liked knocking over everything in the chapel.

[...#aesthetic?]

[captainobnoxious]

[... #aesthetic]

I flung paint around the entire office until there wasn't a wall that wasn't covered by it. It was pretty relaxing.

[paidinblood]

...What colors?

[#aesthetic!!]

[captainobnoxious]

Every single one!

[It was a disaster.

#aesthetic!!!!!]

I thought I might toss some glitter on it too, but by the time I thought about it most of it was dried. I even flung some on the books! And I carved symbols on the desk, too, just some protection ones I remembered from home.

[paidinblood]

...You are just like Zagi.

[That sounds exactly like something he'd do. God damn, Sigrun.]

[captainobnoxious]

That's why he's my brother, shortcake.

[... shortcake is a new one.]

Why else do you think we get along so well? And we only had a week together before you two went at it! Imagine if I ended up dying too!

[imagine. there'd be two of them.]

[paidinblood]

Caren would lose her mind.

[And maybe Sigrun wouldn't have such poor taste in boyfriends. ...Who is he god damn kidding, Zagi's into someone that killed him, he's not doing any better here.]

[captainobnoxious]

She and I get along very well now, thank you. She's got complete faith in me. And said that I was right to lead the way I did. She's a good girl, I love her.

[... But chances are she would've driven Caren insane sometimes, yeah. If only because it'd be hilarious to poke fun at her when Zagi did too.]

Did you two get to be friends?

[paidinblood]

...She's optimistic.

[Somehow, he manages to make it sound like that's a bad thing.]

I don't know if I'd call us friends [because I have an enormous stick up my ass,] but we get along.

[captainobnoxious]

[Kamui, darling... don't steal Caren's gig of being a tsundere...]

Then you're friends enough, honey. Just like you and me!

[paidinblood]

[...Look friend is a strong word, he doesn't like- oh hold the fuck up.]

What makes you think I'd even want to be your friend?

[captainobnoxious]

You don't want to. You are.

[Says her.]

[paidinblood]

...Did you decide this the same way you decided I'm going to truth or dare?

[Ditch your boyfriend then we'll talk]

[captainobnoxious]

Yes.

[Like you have any room to talk about taste.]

[paidinblood]

Then there's no reasoning with you.

[My boyfriend didn't kidnap me and endanger my brother

...I mean Zagi has no taste, but-]

[captainobnoxious]

[It's Zagi though.]

Glad we agree! And you're not getting rid of me anyway, my brother's gonna wanna spend what time he can when you two aren't going around the different worlds killing things. You and me are practically family!

[paidinblood]

[...Of course he is.]

I don't care what you call me. Nicknames, your friend, it doesn't make a difference to me.

But don't call me family. Family's more meaningful than that. We're hardly above strangers.

[captainobnoxious]

That's a fair point! It just means that I'll look forward to the day when I can call you it, honey. Really. You're a good person and I like you well enough.

... And thanks for taking care of that nut, too, even though I'm sure it wasn't much of a chore. Things are just like that sometime, you know?

[paidinblood]

[Okay, if Sigrun wasn't crazy for not murdering her boyfriend, she's definitely crazy now.]

...I didn't really take care of him. We just spent time together. Mostly by fighting.
