drove to Chicago, all things know, all things know

[cherryblooded]

[This is getting so routine.

Cherryblod had thought about napping the rest of the day, like he'd said, but there are people to take care of, people who'd been closer to Aiden and Shirazu than he had been. So after about an hour in his room to decompress, he'd headed to the kitchen and started cooking. At some point Stan and Bruce had both joined him.

Almost everyone seems to want to take care of those who are remaining. Almost everyone.

The food this time is mostly soup and sandwiches - nothing fancy, nobody's in the mood to appreciate it - but it's there set up in the dining room by the time everyone (alive) receives notes under their doors. ...He slips an extra one for Sigrun under Mettaton's door, just in case.]

[name],
If you want to spend this time by yourself, that's fine.
If you'd rather have some company, there's food in the dining room, and you're all welcome there.
If you want to take some food and go, that's fine, too.
Take care of yourself.
-Cherryblod, Stan, Bruce

[At least two more people might die this week. At least two.

... Hopefully just two. There's not a single person in this room she'd like to see disappear though, and that's even getting past her duty as a leader; as a person, as just Sigrun Eide, any of these people dying or being a killer would be harder on her than it would've been any number of weeks ago.

But this'll go on until there's one left or none at all.]

... Ever think about what might happen if there's just two people left? If everyone but two died off. Would he make them fight to the death, or would he king them both?

[amygdalae]

[If there were only two left... its something Bruce really doesn't want to think about much, honestly. He certainly hopes they can stop this before there's only two of them left.]

...I highly doubt he wants two 'kings', if he ever wanted a 'King' at all. [Because like hell Bruce believes anything the Kingmaker says at this point, more or less.] I wouldn't be surprised if he forced them into a battle for their lives.

[If there's only two of them who knows, they might just probably destroy each other in the end and only the Kingmaker wins.]

[captainobnoxious]

Well, if it's just me and someone else, then I'll let you guys know what it's like to win. And kill the bastard myself when I'm in arm's reach. I'll be alone, but that won't be so bad. Probably.

[... You know, just in case it ends up that way. Why wouldn't Sigrun figure she could kick anyone's ass.]

I think I might have to go toe-to-toe with that thing in the pit first though. I wonder what it really looks like, if it's not actually the dead people. Sure would like to get my blade in it.

[amygdalae]

[Bruce is certainly not doubting Sigrun's ability to kick ass. He knows she probably can and will if she has to. (Unlike himself.)]

It's still better to have strength in numbers. [Even after all that is said and done, not going at it alone won't have the odds stacked against her as compared to actually going at it alone.] At least if we do have to fight it, we can rely on each other as backup.
