Week 9.
For the first time since your stay in the Vault began, no one died this week. That doesn't mean there weren't casualties among you, however – namely, trust, interpersonal relationships, and comfort in the group dynamic as a whole. Hopefully no one else pays the price for it. Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; there aren't any bodies to be found on Sunday morning. You're safe for now – unless your dreams have told you otherwise... |
SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY
[OOC: Welcome to week nine of Trustfell! Save your threads for coins; don't forget to submit your memory regains! There is no activity check this week!
THIS IS THE LAST WEEK TO REDEEM COINS!
The text and calling posts are still active, for the sake of contacting the jerk who's keeping you here, to be used at your leisure!]
no subject
[But it's not all together authoritative.]
It won't take but a minute of your time.
no subject
[Bruce just stays where he is with all his gather items in hand.
Better make it sure its really under a minute, Sigrun. He might be counting.]
no subject
[Just so he knows. It'd been the same with Mettaton, too.]
But I am sorry for letting my heart get over my head again, even if it wouldn't have killed anyone this time. I won't ask anything, Bruce, especially from you, but I just want you to know that no matter what happens from here on out that I won't hide anything from any of you. We need to work together now more than ever, and so long as the Kingmaker is a thing I'm going to lay my life on the line for you.
[She knows her minute's basically up by the end of that, but she's still got one last thing to say.]
We can deal with once we're out. All of it. I promise.
no subject
I can't take your words at face value.
[He doesn't try to sugarcoat anything this time, like he normally would have. He's too tired to try and play nice today, not after what happened.]
It's not that I'm doubting your words, Captain, but I can't place the same trust in you I had before. [...he does deflate a little, though, after having said that.] ...not that it is your fault entirely. I have part of the blame too for what I said and did.
[He realizes that perhaps, in retrospect, he might have been holding up Sigrun to some unrealistic expectations. After all with the Avengers there had been Steve, and there's not much competition against the man who's supposedly the peak of human condition. Steve was obviously perfect leader material from the start and Sigrun was... Sigrun. She wasn't Captain fucking America and she should never be.]
But at the same time, I just can't go back trusting somebody who would willingly want to protect a murderer. [Even a would-be murderer, in Black's case. But the point stands.] I can't trust somebody to that extent again when they've knowingly broken the trust I've willingly given, even if I can understand why it was done.
[And maybe that's selfish to think, but Bruce just... he can't. Not after all the times he's had to deal with this. With Tony, with the Avengers--with Natasha. Even in dreams alone the betrayal stings, and if it is real? It just hurts even more.]
You're not a bad person, and you did what you felt was right. [And Bruce can't be angry at her for that.] I just can't respect you just as I did before.
no subject
[... And really, the people who have put their faith in her still are too good for this world.]
I'd still like to work with you though, Bruce. For the good of everyone. I'll do my best to try and rebuild the trust I had with you and the rest, though I know it's not easy, but-- I don't want you to be alone. I don't want you to think you can't come to me, especially if there's a time where it'd be best to.
I guess that's kind of asking something of you. But I'm not asking for your forgiveness, because I don't deserve that, and I'm not asking for your respect or complete trust. Just that if you need me, you'll come to me, just like if I need you I'll come to you.
no subject
She pushed him into a fucking hole to die. That was enough to say everything.]
I don't know if I can do that. [Is what he does say, eventually, after a long pause. Even coming to Sigrun alone was a form of trust for Bruce, the trust that she could do something, and Bruce doesn't know if he could trust her with anything right now. He can't just forgive and forget like others.] And its not because I have anything against you. I simply can't tell myself its okay to do that after what happened.
[He can't just go back to trusting when his attempts ended up having the fucking rug pulled out from underneath him.]
no subject
She hesitates for a moment, then steps out of his way.]
I'll always be here for any one of you, if you need me. You might not want me, but I am always going to help. Maybe not as a leader, as much as I'd still like that, but I'll be around.
... And even if I won't ever get even a smidge of trust back, Bruce? You've got good people around you, too. Stan's an earnest man for all he's done.
[So if there's anyone he can trust to go to things, at least him, probably.]
no subject
I'm in no position to stop you on what you want to do.
[It's all that he says, perhaps not too kindly. But either way once he says that he tightens the hold he has on his items and walks past her out of the room, never looking back.]
