[A change in scenary is no excuse for a change in routine. Bruce has had a lot to think about and come to grips with since he came here. That isn't to say he believes everything he's been told. But it doesn't seem...impossible. Not much of anything seems impossible, he supposes.

But anyway, Bruce is up bright and early and looking for a nice quiet spot to meditate. He may have to work just a little harder to keep his cool in this place. So when he finds the Green, he spreads the blanket and sits with his legs folded. He gives the area a quick once over, just to make sure. He's not entirely sure Blonsky and his men didn't follow him here. But it seems clear.

After checking his heart moniter, he finally closed his eyes and took a deep breath. So there is a strange man meditating in the middle of the Green. This is a clearly a reason to come bother him.]

NO SMASH B(

[salamandher]

Nope. It's just a little weird.

SMASH EVERYTHING

[keepcalmanddontgetmad]

It grows on you.

Now this is the part where you tell me your name. Or I can just call you Sandwich.

No. BAD.

[salamandher]

It could be worse, I guess. You could be "Humphrey".

Tempting. But no. Let's go with "Makenna".

GOOD?

[keepcalmanddontgetmad]

Makenna it is. Nice to meet you.

SMASHING BAD.

[salamandher]

Yep. That's it.

So... I'm guessing you're new to the Creepy Old Keep-y?

SMASHING GOOD.

[keepcalmanddontgetmad]

Just arrived actually. Why? You a tour guide?

NO.

[salamandher]

Not even if they paid me. They won't even tell me where I can sleep that isn't a walk-in closet.

YOU NO FUN

[keepcalmanddontgetmad]

The rooms could be worse.

NOPE

[salamandher]

Yeah, I know.

... Could be better, too.

[keepcalmanddontgetmad]

[Bruce is finally getting up to stretch because having his legs folded like this is starting to hurt.]

You learn to work with what you're given. At least you're not sleeping outside, right?

[salamandher]

At this point? I'd be more okay sleeping outside. Some of us don't do well with the whole, 'confined spaces' thing.

[keepcalmanddontgetmad]

[Wow Kara. Truer words have never been spoken.]

I see what you mean.

[salamandher]

[And she has no idea.]

Congratulations, you're the first.

[keepcalmanddontgetmad]

You could try asking for a bigger room. Though I hear our host isn't too gracious. Or available.

[salamandher]

I don't think anyone's ever even seen him.

[keepcalmanddontgetmad]

Why is that not surprising?

[salamandher]

Because he's probably some creepy reclusive shut-in who abducts random people off the street?

[keepcalmanddontgetmad]

I can see that. Or there could be more to it.

[More like what, Bruce isn't sure. But the curiousity in him won't let this be just what it is on the surface.]

[salamandher]

... Like?

[Come on here, man, elaborate a little.]

[keepcalmanddontgetmad]

He could be performing a social experiment. Let's take vastly different people from all walks of life and see how long it takes to burn the place to the ground.

[Yeah he's pulling this out of his ass.]

And from my understanding, it doesn't take long at all.

[salamandher]

[Wellp, Bruce, way to put the girl on edge.]

['Burn the place to the ground'.]

['It doesn't take long'.]

['Take vastly different people'.]

[She stares at him. Takes a few steps back. The fire starts to kindle in her eyes, automatically.]

... You can't be serious.

[keepcalmanddontgetmad]

[Whoa. Hey

Let's all be cool here.

Bruce puts his hands up. He's got to difuse the situation before this gets out of hand.]

It's a joke. Just a joke.

[salamandher]

[She's not trying to fight you, man. She's backing off.]

Yeah? Well, it wasn't all that funny.

[keepcalmanddontgetmad]

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you.

[Well he wasn't looking to alienate people this quickly. Maybe after they found out he was big green rage monster. But not now.]

[salamandher]

If I was offended, we wouldn't still be talking, and you'd have a handprint on your face.

Right now? You're just a little creepy. And by "a little", I mean "a lot."
