[So... a lot of things happened yesterday, for better or for worse.
And now its Monday, and everyone knows what that means by now.
Bruce still isn't in the best shape, but he keeps his focus - there are things that are going to happen and there is a direction for him to follow right now, so that's what he'll key in on. Just that need to keep going, despite what happened--what he dreamed. The present matters more right now.
Bright and early in the morning the notice for the weekly meeting is yet again duct-taped to the bulletin board, Bruce's usual neat handwriting summoning everyone to come to the dining hall at 11 AM, and since its a tradition by now there will be food provided - today's meal: sandwiches. Foot-longs for everyone, actually, just like how you'd have it in Subway (tm). They all have their own personal preferences stuffed in them (because after six weeks, Bruce knows all of your preferences by now) and if you want to put more, there's extra bread and fillings over everyone's choice.
...for a little flair he's even made little flags with paper and toothpicks to stick onto the top of said foot-longs. They're a simple design, dark blue with a white ring with tiny black words written inside them. Should one try to read the words it'll say 'NO MENTION OF GLORY'.
It's sure an interesting design option, huh.
Once everyone has their foot-longs and has settled down, Bruce cracks open his Ubiquitous Notebook and starts the meeting.]
I know what happened was hard, and we're all still recovering from it-- [Sigrun and Cherryblod especially, although he pointedly doesn't look at either of them] --but we have to push on, now more than ever. A new floor opened up yesterday, as always, so let's start with what we've found there.
[...he really, really hopes that the hint will have been passed through.
So. After the meeting Bruce will be going back to his room in order to work on the meeting summaries to pass around by the evening - a very quick turnaround for once, but when there's only twelve of them now it doesn't take as much time as before. He'll be slipping all of those to everyone's respective rooms, with a tiny note written at a corner that goes 'COME TO THE CHAPEL BETWEEN HALF PAST MIDNIGHT AND ONE. DON'T COME ALTOGETHER. REQUEST FROM STAN AND I.'
With all of that done Bruce uses the rest of the night between holing himself up in the library and doing his part for the night patrol, even as thinned down as they are now. Although mostly its just to kill some time until he heads over to the chapel to see what Stan has in store for them all.]
