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?

I've had some time to think about it. And while I'm still very against the idea of criminals, and I still think someone needs to step up and change the way things are done in a world where so much pain is caused by other people...well, I think there needs to be a better way. It's not really as simple as I thought it was, where there's a black side and a white side, one side to keep alive and the other side that needs to be wiped out by any means necessary. Some people skirt the line, some people are forced to cross it...

And what I'm doing works, yes, but...it's not 100% justice.

[ah........ her little friends changed so much.... misa grew up and caren grew a sense of humor]

I'm proud of you, pigtails. I know that you'll work hard to protect the people who need to be protected and hunt down the ones that cause harm without going back to what you used to, because that's the kind of girl you are. I'm looking forward to visiting your world to see what it's like.

I hope so. It would be nice if I could convince Light to do the same, too...I mean, yeah, I'll always be grateful for what he did as Kira. Back when I was in that courtroom and I had to look at the face of my parent's killer every day, I just wanted everything to end. And when they were leaning towards him being innocent, I thought the whole world was rotten. I didn't want any part of it.

Then Kira brought justice. He saved my life, saved me from myself...and then, of course, Gelus protected me in his own way, too, from that terrible stalker...and I thought the only way I'd really be able to do some good with my life was to make it up to Kira. To avenge my parents, to make sure by any means necessary that what happened to me wasn't happening to anyone else. So that's what I did. And then I fell in love and you know the rest, but...

My whole life after that was love and revenge. And revenge and justice are...kind of different, is what I'm learning. Ambitious is proof of that. Light, though, he's not Kira for revenge. He's Kira because he wants to make the world a better place and this is the best way he knows how, given what he found.

[ ...But that's not true, either. At the end of the day, he was Kira because he was bored out of his mind. Not that she'll ever admit that. ]

I hope I can convince him, though. And maybe...maybe we can put our heads together, find some way to make the world a better place without just murdering anyone we think goes too far. I'm no good with big plans like that, so, I'm not gonna be the one who comes up with the ideas, but, what I do have is a lot of stubbornness, and a really, really huge hatred of criminals. ...So maybe a Death Note isn't exactly the answer, not the way I'm using it right now, but, I'll try my best to find out what is.

[Misa you're getting squeezed so hard]

I know you can do it! You'll convince him after you give him a good uppercut and a kiss, then you two'll be a power couple and find a way to make things right! There's a reason I'm letting you take that title. For now.

[... Because if she and Mettaton are still dating she's gonna come back and fight for it.]

[happysweets]

[ GOSH, SIGRUN, DON'T BREAK HER...but she's getting quite a hug in return! She's not letting go anytime soon, she'll say that much. ]

Well, hearing you say it, now I'm confident it'll work out somehow! I'll hope for the best, really! ...But no matter what happens, you'll have to really work if you want to steal the championship from us. We won't let it go without you earning it, so if you're really gonna be the best couple, you have to prove it, big-time! We won't go easy on you!

[ Double dates with these two would be a disaster ]

[captainobnoxious]

[light has a very punchable face, it's true]

As soon as I'm back on my feet, sweetie, you can bet we'll be coming to take it from you! Make sure you set up some actual challenges for us, it'd be just embarrassing if we swiped it from under your nose!

[happysweets]

If there's one thing I know how to do, it's set up those! It won't just be stuff like crosswords either, we're gonna have to have extreme date challenges! Like three-legged-races! And dance-offs!

[captainobnoxious]

[............ DANCE-OFFS............]

When you say dance-offs, sweetheart, what do you mean exactly?

[happysweets]

[ LOOKS LIKE YOU'LL HAVE TO STEP YOUR GAME UP, BFF OF MINE ]

What do you think I mean? A competition to see which couple is better at dancing, of course! Especially slow-dancing.

[captainobnoxious]

[WEEEEELLL THAT IS GETTING A REACTION OUT OF HER

LIKE, SHE'S BURYING HER FACE INTO MISA'S SHOULDER REACTION]

I don't think I could handle another slow dance with that guy.

[happysweets]

I guess I'll take that as a "forfeit" then? Starting off by giving us a point already, that is not helping your odds as a challenger...

[ She's patting her head, in any case! ]

[captainobnoxious]

... I'm not forfeiting.

[She will not lose.]

[happysweets]

Somehow, I knew you weren't going to. If you need help practicing, I can always show you how to get the hang of it...

[captainobnoxious]

No, no, just... tell me that I'm always gonna feel a good kind of weird when we're like that. Because I did. And I'm pretty sure he did too. It was a nice kind of different.

[happysweets]

Of course it is! You're close to each other, swaying back and forth, and it's like you both are the only people in the whole world, right? That's what slow dancing is supposed to feel like.

[captainobnoxious]

[when she says it like that it 1. makes perfect sense and 2. makes her want to forfeit]

... Yeah, that's it, I guess. I haven't danced with him in a long time though, you know. I'll tell you how it feels if I get a refresher.
