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?

...if it takes longer than we'd really like and people would just want to de-stress before we get into investigation mode, we could always take shifts watching Glory and the portal.

It'd be an easier job for people who don't really have all that much to go back to, of course, but if we schedule it right I think some of us could take a day every so often to keep an eye on things.

[amygdalae]

We'll have to see who'd be willing to help first, but I'm sure we can all figure something out.

[bloodisthicker]

I doubt we'll have all that much trouble finding volunteers, if nothing else.

[amygdalae]

That's good to know.

[Bruce can all too easily understand people's desire to put an end to these things, too. It's far too cruel.]

[bloodisthicker]

...I do feel like we might need to have a bit of a break before we all go off to do that, though, given what we just went through. It'll... definitely be nice to recover first.

[amygdalae]

Of course. [Bruce certainly isn't so mean as to ask them to do something right after all of this, that would be dumb.] Everyone is free to take the time off to recover for as long as they wish. If they want to simply remain in their world too, that would be fine.

[bloodisthicker]

...I wouldn't blame anyone who decided to do that, honestly. Even without the fact that this was a rough ride in and of itself, there's no telling what else we might end up against.

[amygdalae]

[Nods here.]

I wouldn't blame them either, which is why I'm not forcing this on anybody.

[Its up to them if they want to do this or not. Even if it ends up being just himself, Bruce won't have anything against them.

They've all gone through too much.]

[bloodisthicker]

...I think it would be more of a problem if you did, quite honestly. I'm sure enough people will want to volunteer after they... recover a bit.

[amygdalae]

[Well he doesn't want them to think its necessary!! First thing Bruce definitely wants to try and eliminate is miscommunication because that's always a killer.]

Whenever they're ready. I'm pretty sure I'll be staying around here for quite a while, so everyone will know where to find me.

[Gotta fix this place up, yo.]

[bloodisthicker]

[...he'd ask why Bruce isn't going home first, but... well. It's not like he's going home, either.]

Sounds like a plan. Do they have this place reasonably well stocked, at the very least?

[amygdalae]

[The less asked, Tarrlok, the better.]

It could use a little more here and there, but for the most part it should be able to support a small number of us until we can expand.

[bloodisthicker]

Well, I'm going to at least have to make time to visit, because staying here alone doesn't sound like my idea of a good time.

[amygdalae]

[A small laugh.]

There are worse things.

[As they both know, after everything.]

[bloodisthicker]

...you know, it's true. At least you are entirely assured of the company you're keeping.

[...because he's just classy enough not to shittalk Ryuunosuke and Mettaton right here.]

[amygdalae]

[Likewise, man. Likewise.]

More or less. [Have a small smile just for that, Tarrlok.]

[bloodisthicker]

Well, I'm sure you can let any of us know if you need something.

[amygdalae]

I'll keep that in mind if the need arises.

[Although Bruce is certainly going to try and not do that as much as possible.]
