welcome to the party, pal

[branchifer]

Who: Branch, Miguel, Tim, Boba, Dan, and Stacia
What: The supply and prisoner exchange
Where: The emptied out workroom floor
When: After all of Branch's chaos.
Warnings/Notes: Some blood, eventual cw mentions of cannibalism probably when Branch is hashing it out with Dan and Stacia, I'll put warnings in the subject.

[It's going to plan. And the heightened chaos is making it exactly as distracting and chaotic a situation as he was hoping for. The floor is cleared and there are people leading Elves and yetis to areas they've cleared, but traps can still be heard going off, sometimes randomly. Occasionally there's the angry argleblorgleblorg of a yeti getting chili powder exploding out of an air cannon to their face.]

[In some areas where traps were already set off and cleared, somehow (read: thanks to his 14-year-old secret accomplice) they've been reset, only to go off again.]

[It leaves things nice and unsettled and distracting.]

Comments

[hallelujahjunction]

I don't lock people up. [Dan can't speak for the group, but there's a sternness in his voice that suggests that he's not about to let others lock people up either.] Ain't nothing you did worth depriving you your freedoms. Ain't much folks can do to merit that. I done enough jail time to know how worthless it is.

[Absent any other options, Dan will take imprisoning someone over killing them, but usually it doesn't come to that. Usually Dan's methods work.]

I reckon I'd like to ask you what you think Bingle ought to do to make this right. If you want my opinion, since Bingle didn't know no better, he ought to apologize and promise not to play with nothing again without checking that it ain't alive and willing. And then we can talk about whatever else might could help you feel safe here among all us giants. Do that feel fair?

[credit_not_blame]

I'll back Dan on this one. [Stacia jerks a thumb in Dan's direction and grins. It's a little toothy.] And I'm very good at getting other people to agree that doing things my way is less annoying than fighting with me about it. You were acting because you were scared, not because you were trying to be a jerk.
