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.]

[ ...he feels more and more pathetic every time he gets to say this. ]

I've never been good at making friends—so I never had a lot of them. Whatever ones I did have were usually just White's. It's different here, though. [ He wishes he had something other than the hem of his sweater to play with, but he doesn't. ] And... Yosuke's probably one of my best? That feels weird to say, because it's not like we've known each other that long, but I've told him things I haven't told anyone else.

[ Like—almost everything. And his name. And— ]

He's easy to talk to like that. [ A smile. ] And... I don't want to mess that up. Even if he was interested in guys—and he might be, or he might just be interested in the one guy he's besties with back in his world that's so incredible and wonderful—that doesn't mean he's going to be interested in me.

[ There. He said it. That's the portion he hasn't said to anyone else. ]

I like being his friend, Miss Sigrun. I'm happy being his friend. I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't be over the moon if it was anything more, but I don't want it to be anything less, so what we have now is fine. [ ...god, that's actually kind of painful to say? This is so bad for him. ]

[... He has it baaad.]

Guess it's a little different than just me telling Mettaton we were dating, huh. Though... I didn't really get the whole weird feeling thing until after that. I think the first time might've been when he showed me his soul?

... No, maybe earlier than that. I told him he could stay with me before the whole dating thing because of what he told me and how much he seemed to like my world, so, maybe then... Or when I got mad at him for... I guess he wasn't sacrificing himself then, right? He was offering to kill someone then... Maybe that's when, since I got pretty wigged out at the thought...

[Juuuust a bit different, as much of a tangent as it trailed off onto. She'll decrease her tilt, but there's still the contact.]

That's fine, though. About you and Yosuke, I mean. If anyone has to step forward it'd have to be him, right? So just bide your time. Who knows, maybe something'll come out of it if you're patient.

[... Such a different opinion, huh.]
penduli: (66 you just have to want it badly)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-04-11 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...such a different opinion. ]

I don't think he will. [ It's a hunch, and one he's torn on—does he want to be right, or does he want to be proven wrong? Both options give him an aching heart. ...he has it so bad. He wants to die.

This isn't what he planned on at all. ]
You should eat a little, Miss Sigrun. Mr. Banner made it for you and everything. [ a beat. ] I got you the alcohol, though.
captainobnoxious: (36 that's sad)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-04-11 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not hungry.

[Automatic response, and she hesitates a moment before taking the gin.]

I have plenty of food back in my room if I get hungry though. Sometime.

[Ever, her tone leaves unspoken.]

... But I'll thank him for the thought later. Thanks to you, too.
penduli: (74 caught up in the big time)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-04-11 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...he gets the feeling, on the not-hungry thing. ]

I was worried about you. [ ...he's gonna grab her plate then and hold out his free hand to her. ] Speaking of your room—let me escort you back? Everyone's in the dining hall, pretty much, so no one'll be stopping us on the way, and I'd really rather keep you around and not... around the way Taichi was when he fell asleep or passed out in the game room.

[...

Not a single part of her wants to pass through that hall. But she'll take his hand after a moment, stuffing the gin away so she can heave up Woodaton to carry it with them.]


Can we take the long way around? Not the straight shot to my room.

[Where it passes by Mettaton's room. She can't avoid going near Aqua's, since the girl had stayed in the room right in front of her, but... it's good enough.]

[personal profile] penduli 2016-04-11 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ Because it passes by Mettaton's room.

...she's really taking that project with her, isn't it heavy—it's Sigrun, it doesn't matter if it's heavy or not. ]


I don't mind. [ Either way he's backtracking. ] If anyone tries to talk to you, I'll glare at them and send them running. Just like I did with all the boys that broke White's heart.



[ okay, well, you can guess how well that actually worked ]
captainobnoxious: (12 matter o' fact kids)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-04-11 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
[That gets a laugh, yeah.]

Oh, I'm sure they all went running, honey. How many of them dared to break your sweet sister's heart anyway?
penduli: (46 just relax)

[personal profile] penduli 2016-04-11 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ You don't believe him at all, do you..!! That's fine, he's here to make her laugh. ]

Not that many. She broke more hearts, I think. [ A thoughtful hum while he gently pulls her down the hall and the stairs... ] She called me a heartbreaker once though. Can you imagine?
captainobnoxious: (43 yeah sure)

[personal profile] captainobnoxious 2016-04-11 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
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.
penduli: (70 we gotta find a new attitude)

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

[personal profile] penduli 2016-04-11 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
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.
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?
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.
