[justice_is_blond]

WHO: Adelaide, Alistair, Anders, Bethany, Nathaniel, Varric, Vasran, Velanna
WHAT: The Second Ritual
WHEN: 10th of Bloomingtide (May 10th)
WHERE: half an hour outside of Skyhold
NOTES: Plotting post.

They've kept to the same clearing as the last, because the location's good. Far enough away that no one could stumble upon them by accident, near enough in case something went seriously wrong, it works.

He has scarcely more hope this time than he did the last, but at least there's no singing involved. This can't go as strangely. In theory.

wheeeee

Volunteers, you absolute moron.

[His voice practically drips with scorn.]

They choose to help or not. I drag no one. It's not my fault if when you were looking for methods you had no friends.

[It's a stab in the dark and he doesn't give a care.]

They care about me. They want to help. They're fully informed. You're not. Why don't you go glower elsewhere, and await your inevitable destruction?

[Well its not like Anders is wrong about the fact that Bruce has no friends - and it still remains true even until now. How can he let anybody close at all when he's such a danger--when he's a monster? He can't believe that Anders can even risk that in the first place. Monsters like them--they don't deserve any of that.]

Excuse me for not being 'fully informed'. Clearly just because I didn't go and decide to blow up a city means I have no idea what's going on in the world.

[justice_is_blond]

Of. What. They're. Doing.

[If looks could do anything, Bruce would be ash.]

Of how there's risks. Of how it could backfire. You couldn't possibly be fully informed if you tried, considering how obtuse you're being. It's a wonder you get your fork to your mouth at meals.

[amygdalae]

[Bruce has received worse things than a glare from another abomination, it barely fazes him at all.]

And its a wonder you can pretend that you can even deserve anything after all that you've done. Friends? People willing to help you? Don't make me laugh.

[justice_is_blond]

And I said I deserved this?

[Maybe he needed to only speak in one sentence at a time. Maybe that's all Bruce can handle. Questions with obvious answers.]

[amygdalae]

[Sorry Anders, the self-projection will continue for a while... probably.]

You're clearly acting like you do.

[justice_is_blond]

No. I'm not. I'm simply not letting my pride or my fear get in the way of matters. Now would you take care of whatever you came here for and go? Your stupidity is going to give me a headache.

[He doesn't deserve it. He doesn't deserve any of the kindness shown him, or Nate, or anything, but what's he supposed to do? Hurt people who are kind? He's horribly lonely without people.]

[amygdalae]

[If it were up to Bruce he'd have pushed away any display of kindness anybody would show him. Because they don't know and they won't ever know and lying to them by omission is no better than anything else, even if Bruce is well aware that he's doing the same right now. But its not as if he ever called himself a good person. He's never been 'good'.

But either way, there's no use talking to Anders anyway, for the man is too wrapped up in his own beliefs to see anything else. Bruce just lets out a quiet grunt and glances away, moving off to get the supplies he had come for and goes to take his leave just as quickly.]
