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."

[AT LEAST SIGRUN'S THE CRAZY ONE...... IS THIS A GOOD THING???]

Nope, I'm a perfectly ordinary human!

...Well, except for that one time I summoned a demon who wasn't really a demon. But I'm pretty sure I can't do that again, so!

[... IT'S FINE!!! IT'LL BE FINE!!! SHE'S... CREATIVE.]

Oooh, that sounds like a story to tell. Wanna give me a quick run down, or do you wanna do it around a fire? That kinda thing can really make a tale come to life.

[demons, fuck yea

even not demons]

Oh, I doubt most people would want to hear it. It involves a lot of killing and sculpture.

But he did turn into a giant monster and rampage through the city before I died and it was the greatest cool!!

[HE SOUNDS SO HAPPY......]

You're so fucking crazy.

[But is that a touch of resigned affection?? No, just amusement. He really is like a puppy.]

I'd still like to hear it myself sometime, whether I regret it or not! We're gonna be living together after all. And I know pretty much everything about Mettaton... except the stuff he's gonna tell me that he didn't before.

[... couldn't? Probably couldn't.]

So I might as well! It's not like I can't stomach your weird thing with art and bodies! I'm just gonna be seriously disapproving of you!

[At least she's honest. And trying her best.]

I told you!

[Staying here did make him crazier though, just in a totally different way!]

There's not really much to know about me outside of that. It was the one interesting experience in my life back in Fuyuki. Maybe I'll tell you more about it at some point.

[He seems totally unaware that the statement is kind of depressing, but he's also settled a bit which is good.

...He hasn't talked about Bluebeard in a long time and it feels sort of weird.]

Well, that's just sad, Ryuu-honey, there's gotta be more than just that. What made you wanna be an artist?

[... And to like, fucking kill people to use as your materials, but you know what that's just because you're fucking crazy she's assuming.]

Mm, well, I've always found death fascinating. You can't really capture something like that in movies or books or things like that. It's an experience that's so unique and cool... and ultimately you only get one shot at it. So I wanted to learn more about that! I wanted to experience it and since I didn't want to kill myself, I figured the best way would be to see how others reacted!

[.............yeah he's fuckin' insane]

The art stuff sort of happened afterwards, because after awhile killing got boring. In fact, the art stuff was getting boring too and I ended up trying to summon a demon because I thought that might make things cool again for awhile.

[...fuckin' insane and apathetic!]

And that did work. Bluebeard was great and I'm so glad I got to meet him. But I died and since I summoned him, without me around I'm pretty sure he died too. I don't have the mark anymore, so.

[He rubs the back of his right hand again, as if that explains anything.]

...That didn't really answer your question, did it? Sorry. I guess pretty much everything I've done has been in pursuit of finding something that interests me and keeps my interest. I could tell you about all the times I've done stuff only to drop it because I got bored, but we'd be here forever.

[That's a lot. And it's no wonder that he keeps rubbing his hand, if he's used to having something there.

... You know, trying to decide how she feels given this new information about Ryuunosuke is legitimately a little too much work, so she'll just go gut first and think about it later.]

We're gonna have plenty of time to spend together anyway! Hell, I'd like to hear a lot about you actually, about your game and especially about your friend Silver.

[...]

When you're ready, I mean! If it's still a touchy topic.

[Yes, her gut reaction is to return to asking him questions about himself now that he doesn't have a stick up his ass by necessity.]

Yeah. I guess I can tell you some stuff sometime. But I think I'll need awhile before I can talk about Silver.

[He rubs the back of his head and laughs. It's really awkward. He's trying really hard!! But. Yikes.]

[It's okay! That's why she said when he was ready.]

That's fine, gingersnap, just sometime. I don't have a reason to push you about it anymore.

Gingersnap...

[Okay, that's actually kind of cute, he can get behind this nickname.]

Well, good. I really do appreciate it.
