I'll wait, so show me why you're strong

[And so the day's trial for the attempted murder of Gabriel Knight draw to a close with... charitably better results then usual.

They were alive, at the least, but that didn't mean there wasn't several blows against the trust that had been built up here. One mole that attempted murder, another that quit, and another that was given the offer no doubt put strain on several relationships... most notably Sigrun's.

It was all, in a word... frankly shitty. But now it's all out there, no sense in trying to get it back.

An hour (or two) after the "trial" ends and everyone's gone off on their own business, Speedwagon heads back to the kitchen. It was the usual plan in mind, what they did after every trial. And everyone, regardless of what was said or done, would soon find a note being slipped under their door.

[Name],
There's gonna be food in the dining hall, in case anyone's got an appetite for it.
I know some might want to be alone after that mess of an investigation, but if you don't then the offer's as open as it's always been.
I'd say sticking together might still be safer then not.

[And yes, folks that arrive in the dining hall will find a nice spread of sandwiches, soup, and what leftovers Speedwagon could scrounge out of the fridge. Speedwagon isn't the best cook in the group, but there's definitely stuff here that's good enough to eat.

...Sigrun's 'masterpiece' was, thankfully, left out of this. Keeping folks alive is the goal, after all.

amygdalae: (going back to days gone by.)

[Bruce can picture a few scenarios where the want to do it is tempting, but he doesn't know if he could ever go through with it. For him nothing is worth the price of almost any kind of life. He'd rather bear the burden than to relieve it by killing another. He's already killed so much.

A pause, and then he nods to Stan's words.]


I know. [He is still a doctor after all... in some fashion anyway.] I'll be alright.

[Or at least some fashion of 'alright'. Eventually.]

...sure. Okay.

[Stan doesn't entirely buy that, but he's not going to babysit Bruce all night. Seems condescendin', and anyway he gets wanting some time alone.]

Get some sleep, doc. [That seems more natural to say than "good night".]
amygdalae: make sure its the right one (pick a side)

[To that Bruce manages a small nod.]

I'll see you in the morning.

[At least in that way its a promise that he won't be doing anything foolish... well, too foolish anyway. At least nothing life-threatening, because nobody needs to deal with that right now.]
