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.]

[Don't we all?]

Pretty much everyplace I've ever lived had a bad reputation. You can't really know about it until you've been there a while.
cherryblooded: (smile / smug)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-04-13 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you live there because they have bad reputations, or do they have bad reputations because you live there?

[He's teasing.]
goodforsomething: (⛵ LAWL LAWL)

[personal profile] goodforsomething 2016-04-13 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Stan laughs.]

Both!
cherryblooded: (smile / sigh)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-04-13 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what I thought.

[It's funny. He's smiling, a little.]
goodforsomething: (⛵ yeesh this guy)

[personal profile] goodforsomething 2016-04-13 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Stan smiles as well. It comes easy to him, even when he's not feeling it. But Cherry must know plenty about con men.]

Yeeeeeah, Gravity Falls has its share of demons too, if you ask my brother. You got any advice on keepin' them away?
cherryblooded: (dark / dripping blood)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-04-13 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
They're really hard to kill - really hard. You can tear them into chunks and they'll show up again the next week good as new.

[If you want to know if that's from experience - yes.]

So the only things to do about them are seal them off somewhere or make it so that it's too much of a pain for them to hang around.
goodforsomething: (⛵ LAWL LAWL)

[personal profile] goodforsomething 2016-04-13 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if there's one thing I'm good at, it's bein' a pain!
cherryblooded: (smile / shh)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-04-13 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
There you go. Number one solution to your demon problems.
goodforsomething: (⛵ counterfeiting tutor twenty bucks per)

[personal profile] goodforsomething 2016-04-13 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I've still never really met the guy. Just read Ford's notes about him. He got really fucked up by the thing.

...I'd rather kill it, but I'll settle for whatever I can get if it shows up again.
cherryblooded: (dark / unsure)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-04-13 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
...You too, hm.

At least I was able to vent some on the demon that hurt my daughter, even if I couldn't kill him.
goodforsomething: (⛵ the sudden realization that your life)

[personal profile] goodforsomething 2016-04-13 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
......yeah. Me too, I guess.

[That's worse than having your brother hurt. He knows - all he has to do is think about that happening to Dipper or Mabel.]

It doesn't even look like much - just this little triangle guy. But he gets in your head. [Stan shakes his own head.] I should've been there earlier. Ford was half outta his mind when I showed up.

Was Lobco okay? [He still feels like he's talking about a seafood company when he says that name.]
cherryblooded: (calm / bruised)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-04-13 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
She's alright now. Still jumpy, but she gets out and about.

[Whatever's happening to their world aside.]

But for a few months after I rescued her she would barely talk. Could hardly get her to eat, even, and she wouldn't leave the house. Not that I blame her, after months of torture.
goodforsomething: (⛵ stan why do you have that on even)

[personal profile] goodforsomething 2016-04-14 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
...fuck.

[It's an expression of sympathy. There's no such thing as a good demon attack, but he hadn't quite been picturing months of torture.]

Well, uh...I'm glad she's doin' better.
cherryblooded: (calm / wait what)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-04-14 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you. Same for you and your brother.

[Demons are awful, is the important thing here.]
goodforsomething: (⛵ holy shit it's the sky)

[personal profile] goodforsomething 2016-04-14 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yeeeeah. And with any luck, it'll stay that way.

[...he hasn't told anyone this, but Cherry told him when his world went to shit.]

Last I remember, home wasn't lookin' too hot.
goodforsomething: (⛵ no refunds)

[personal profile] goodforsomething 2016-04-14 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Giant orange portal in the sky spittin' out nightmares. It turned my goat giant and then the totem pole grew arms and legs and tried to attack the house. Gravity Falls is a fucked-up town, but it's never gotten that bad before.
cherryblooded: (calm / actually kind of sad)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-04-14 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
-Ah. Good luck.

[It sounds a little like what's going on with his home. But orange instead of red.]
goodforsomething: (⛵ oh shit)

[personal profile] goodforsomething 2016-04-14 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks. The Shack had some kinda magic shield around it, so at least I got that.

...I just hope it's only Gravity Falls. I dunno how long after the kids leavin' town that was, but I think...I remember bein' worried about them when it hit.
cherryblooded: (smile / oh yes)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-04-14 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Nice to know we're both hoping the hellhole we're in is only local.

I'll keep the children in my thoughts, if that would make you feel better.

[Someone's kids should live.]
goodforsomething: (⛵ dramatic shadow grunk)

[personal profile] goodforsomething 2016-04-14 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sure. That's about what I'm doin'.

[It's all he can do, under the circumstances.]

Hope your family's alright, too.
cherryblooded: (calm / a bit bruised)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-04-14 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[That just gets a silent stare.

You saw his son be executed, Stan. He's as much family as Lobco and Doloz are.]
goodforsomething: (⛵ oh wait nevermind gross)

[personal profile] goodforsomething 2016-04-15 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[He meant the ones back home in the apocalypse, given the context of the conversation...but fair point, he winces a little at the look.]

The ones back home, I mean. Someone oughta be. [The safety ship's kinda sailed on everyone in here]
cherryblooded: (calm / actually kind of sad)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-04-15 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Appreciate the sentiment.

[He's going to set his head on the table now and maybe look up never.]
