Re: Quicklog: Bruce/Sam
[Bruce knows the look so it barely phases him. He already is reaching down to pick up a bucket in case he gets sick. It's all with the air of 'this is perfectly normal so don't feel strange about it.' The number of times he'd been vomited and bled on would sicken most people. For him it's business as usual.] It'll be okay, Sam. Everyone's moving a little slower today, and probably for the next month in general. The city's shaken but it's standing.
[He blinks at Sam, and it takes him a second to get it, but when he does he laughs.] Is this you letting me down easy in advance? [The stiff doctor melts away into a warmer version of Banner, and he smiles. Humor is not default for him, but it's default for his best friend, so he's used to it now.] Long term? Arguably more so. [He taps his fingers on his arm.] The toxin made people more than sick. He designed it to have mental impact. From what I've heard about Crane, that was his goal. To hurt people, not just kill them. [And there he was making it depressing again. He clears his throat.] We will probably have people around to talk too, if you need to.
