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?

On the one hand, the universe probably doesn't operate on that sort of rule. On the other hand, that's "probably" and not "definitely."

[cherryblooded]

One of the world's many unsolved mysteries. Or should I say 'worlds' now?

[bloodisthicker]

That's probably a little more accurate, unless there's exactly one where it doesn't work that way.

[cherryblooded]

It's still a little strange to think of how many worlds there really are. I knew there were more than one, of course, but they aren't as wildly different from mine as, say, Colress's is.

[bloodisthicker]

Well, we've got our world and the spirit world, which are very different... but really, I thought that was all there was. It really makes me wonder how many there are altogether...

[cherryblooded]

Too many to count, probably. Talking shrimp are positively normal in comparison to what could be out there.

Up is down, black is white, people don't blame their politicians for every little thing...

[bloodisthicker]

...well, admittedly, in a lot of cases the politicians do indeed deserve it.

[cherryblooded]

Is this the part where you tell me you're actually bidding for total world domination, because I have had enough revelations for a while and I'd appreciate it if you put it off until later.

[bloodisthicker]

Oh, no, it's nothing that extreme. I really just painted a much rosier picture of my political career than I really should have.

[cherryblooded]

Oh, is that all? Minor details. You can tell me all about it someday, if you feel like it, but I doubt my opinion of you will change all that much.

[bloodisthicker]

Oh.

...

You know, I figured that might be the case.

[cherryblooded]

I'm hardly the best person to judge, even if I wasn't 'way too nice', apparently.

[...someday he's going to have to talk about the mobster thing with the dead but this is probably not the time.]

[bloodisthicker]

...no, I... wouldn't really expect you to.

[...even without the history LOOK AT THIS. LOOK AT ALL OF THIS.]

[cherryblooded]

Anyway, that might put a damper on the day. Now is a time for celebrating, dear friend.

[Tarrlok's definitely a friend, why the hell not.]

[bloodisthicker]

...yeah, that's true. I should really lighten up a little, shouldn't I?

[cherryblooded]

Old habits are hard to break, I understand. I'm not sure I'll be able to easily get to sleep outside my dorm room.

But we are celebrating, and we should try to save those worries for later.
