amygdalae: it should've been easy to choose. (between logic and emotion.)

we're all living under loaded gun

[Every week was bad, but this one? This one most likely has hit them all the hardest.

All well, almost all of them. Bruce certainly can't speak for everyone here... not that there's a lot of them left now.

Anyway.

Working with Speedwagon in the kitchen the two of them whip up a decent, simple fare of food just so that their stomachs won't go empty - Bruce knows that a lot of them won't have much of an appetite at all after what happened, and he can't blame them. He doesn't have much of one himself even after the food is done.

Once everything is set up in the dining hall a couple of hours later after everything that happened downstairs Bruce goes around to slip a notice to every body's room. (Everyone that is still alive, that is.)]


I know what happened was hard to take in. I feel the same as well.
If you wish to be alone I understand, but if you need company, or somebody to talk to... there is food in the dining hall made by Speedwagon and I.

I sincerely hope to see you there.

- B. Banner


[For Sigrun and Cherryblod respectively, he'll have the note along with a plate of some food from the gathering by their door.

As mentioned earlier, there's a small fare of simple, light food and snacks for everyone to eat if they have the stomach for it. For better or for worse there's alcohol too, although Bruce certainly isn't going anywhere near it. But if anybody needs that drink after what happened, he can't blame them for the need for it, either.]
captainobnoxious: (43 yeah sure)

I can. You're a good looking young man who's got a kind heart. I'll bet all the girls loved your sweetness too, or your manner, or how you give people your undivided attention...

[Heheh.]

Too bad you're not into girls.

[personal profile] penduli 2016-04-11 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Mom, please.
penduli: (79 we gotta find a way)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-04-11 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ did he just call her mom




um. ]
penduli: (03 i just can't understand)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-04-11 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Let's get you to your room, Miss Sigrun, you must be really tired.
captainobnoxious: (20 boy is that shit broken)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-04-11 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
[She got called mom................ She'll follow, but she's certainly thankful he can't see the strange look that passes over her face for a moment.]

... Sounds like you're just as tired, kitten. Don't stay up too late.
penduli: (69 so high so high)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-04-11 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ Never bring it up and we'll be golden, Sigrun. ]

I... will think about not staying up late. I was going to hang out in the library for a little bit. [ Books. Y'know. ] It'd be a good way to wind down this week.
penduli: (78 disappear)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-04-11 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
I thought it was sort of a poetic way of saying you'd peak early and burn out.

[ ...that's so mean, he's sorry, he's laughing a little before he continues. ]

I'm not really sure what mine's about [ he has his suspicions, but they're not exactly pleasant connotations ] but... I'm not sure about it being about my job. Investigators like me don't really do the whole law enforcement thing.
captainobnoxious: (36 that's sad)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-04-11 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
[She's telling someone when she's in the mood.]

Think I'll...

[... She'd usually play her lyre to wind down.

Or hang out with Mettaton.

Her hold grows tighter and she hums softly.]


I guess I'll just try to sleep, maybe.

[The tips of his ears turn red- Yosuke, are you having bad thoughts?]

Rude.

Still, they're obviously not random- but if the Kingmaker picked them out I wouldn't think too hard on them. They're probably just to ID us. He didn't like it when I demanded he use names though.

I have a toy you might like if you don't mind stopping by my room first. You could play with it until you get tired. [ ... ] If that's okay?
captainobnoxious: (19 yeah that's broken)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-04-11 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
... Well, I've got a ton of toys too, but I won't mind adding another to my collection. Sure. Let's go.

[All the caterpillars she could ever ask for.

...

... Actually--]


Black?
penduli: (82 no street talk will get you out of th)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-04-11 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ He was gonna give her a caterpillar, actually— ]

Yeah?
captainobnoxious: (68 (honestly shes so so gorge))

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-04-11 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Her mouth pops open

and then closes without a sound. She couldn't ask that of him. She has to be strong, after all, and with the lights off... she wouldn't be able to see anything anyway.]


... Thank you, really.
penduli: (11 life is an ocean a distant horizon)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-04-11 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ Black hesitates, glancing at her, but nods; it's a very quick stop in his room to grab the caterpillar-kun he'd been keeping for himself before they're taking the long(er) route to hers.

...here, have the toy. ]


You're someone I really admire, Miss Sigrun. [ He's being very honest tonight, a slight tremor in his voice. ] I don't mind hearing you out whenever you need someone, or anything like that.
penduli: (12 life is a sword placed in your hand)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-04-11 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if you demand things then of course he's not going to comply.

[ No one would. ]

I don't think I'd want him saying my name anyway, though. Either of them. [ Black or William. ...especially not the second. ]
captainobnoxious: (44 easy does it)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-04-11 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[The toy is one she loves, but-- she can't bring herself to do much more but smile at it.

... It's a little more real when she hears Black's words though, and she squeezes his hand before unlocking her door.]


I'll remember that, honey. Promise. Can I ask something of you now?
garudynamic: (Listening)

[personal profile] garudynamic 2016-04-11 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
I was pretty upset at the time. It was right after... Taichi. It just came off so clinical, it drove me nuts.

I'm pretty sure I'm one of his least favorite people, but I'm not too bothered by that.

[He notices that Black picked his book up again] Hey... is what you're reading... worth reading outloud?
penduli: (46 just relax)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-04-11 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ Don't be anything too embarrassing— ]

Of course. What's up?
captainobnoxious: (36 that's sad)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-04-11 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Please don't hate him.

[Mettaton, that is.]
penduli: (87 caught up in a city feud)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-04-11 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ Black stares for a moment, mouth open like he wants to say something

but it closes, and he slides his hands into his pockets, not looking at her. ]


Sure.
penduli: (17 every blade turns to rust)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-04-11 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ He honestly has no idea if it is; after a few seconds of skimming, he shrugs. ]

It's a little dry, but that's just the way books were written back then. Why do you... [ ...wait, use your brain— ] Did you... want me to read to you?
garudynamic: (blush)

[personal profile] garudynamic 2016-04-11 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
You wanna read, and I'm not ready to face Cherry yet. Unless... that's too weird? I promise I won't fall asleep.
captainobnoxious: (59 hohum)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-04-11 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
[... It was something big to ask of him, and she leans down to kiss the top of his head.]

But even if you can't do that... just know that he was hurting too. Okay?

[She didn't last this long being his friend, girlfriend, whatever this long without learning how to read him.]

It was a job. He wouldn't have killed anyone if it hadn't been for that.
penduli: (05 the very thing that makes me who i am)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-04-11 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...no, this is fine, he's good with this. ]

It's a little weird, but I don't mind. [ It's been a while since he's been asked to... ...it's been forever, actually. ] I'll wake you up if you start nodding off anyway, all right?
penduli: (66 you just have to want it badly)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-04-11 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...of course he was hurting, he seemed to really like Cherryblod and Sigrun, but he did it anyway—

it's not a sentiment he can't share, though. He's really liked a lot of people here, but every week he had still carried "I need to live for White" with him. It's not exactly the same, but... ]


If you think so, Miss Sigrun, I'll believe you. [ ...she has her wooden boyfriend but he's still going to carefully hug her. ] I hope you can get to sleep. If you need anything, you know where to find me.
