[Stan is broadcasting from what some might recognize as the interior of the Murder Hut. Throughout the month Stan's been working on repairs because it's a good way to get rid of all that bloodsport energy and also the humming endless anxiety about how October is coming.
But when he gets on camera, he's grinning! He's kind of tired around the edges, but he's chipper at least!]
Hello, Trench! It's your local Mr. Murder-y here!
[He waves, like it's an infomercial!]
Mark your calendars, folks! The Murder Hut is returning November 1st! That's right; we're absolutely not messing around with October here at the Hut. Once whatever's gonna happen happens, we'll be open for business!
[The windows directly behind Stan are pre-emptively boarded up, in fact. You know...just in case. It's fine.]
Anyway! I'm looking for unpaid labor to help me fix up the Murder Hut to get ready for our grand reopening. It's still pretty busted from that time I got eaten by a giant worm. Now, where are all those teenagers I've come to know and tolerate?
[He mimes like he's squinting out into an audience. Surely someone will turn up to help him with a pitch like that, right?]

[The boy, prone to unfortunate levels of seriousness, was beaming in both relief and goofy teenage delight.]
I'm so glad you're not changing the name! You know what I can do, so call if you need any help Mr. Stan!
[Never mind that he's.... still dating your nephew and is probably over frequently enough anyway. Though some of those visits might have been through a 1990s style sitcom window entry.
Birds. Anything that opens is a door.]

[He's not going to question it - especially not when Oscar is this genuinely excited about it. It's so rare for the kid to actually act like a kid, so he's glad to give him the chance for once.]
Heh, I wouldn't change the name this late in the game anyway. But sure! Just pop over to the Hut any time and I'll put you to work!
[There's still a lot to fix, so the more the merrier at this point.]

[The details didn't matter-- a fun dude from Deerington had called them Trenchies, and that was enough for Oscar. It was a fun name!]
Anytime, though? Do you mean any time? Because I've been having trouble staying awake until after the sun goes down. It's weird.
I hope I didn't catch the insomnia from everyone in your house, with how often we've seen each other.
no subject
[He certainly hasn't been sleeping great the last few weeks.]
Pfft. It's insomnia, not the flu! If you've got it, you didn't catch it from anybody.
no subject
[He peered into the feed, insistent.]
I never had these problems until we all got here.
[... And he may have accidentally made a blood pact with Dipper within their first twelve hours of washing ashore.]
no subject
Yeah, I'm sure. Insomnia just happens naturally. Part of getting older is staring up at the ceiling and not being able to sleep at night! It's a normal thing, trust me.
[After all, everyone in their house has varying degrees of insomnia! It's fine!]
no subject
[Oscar shot back, teasing. The sass was quickly followed by a grin.]
Uncle Qrow gets plenty of sleep! Trust me, it's hard to miss.
no subject
[It isn't a sleep issue! It's a reward for surviving to this point!]
no subject
[He chuckled. It must have been a sight, finding the normally active teenager dozing in Ozpin's office midday while the sun was still high in the sky. It was bad for a farmlad, but all right enough in a city that found itself in the grips of dusk a little bit before dinner time.]
Maybe I should be asking you for tips, then. This internal clock thing is weird.
no subject
[His entire family's sleep schedule is off and they all just live with it now. Once upon a time Stan at least made an attempt to enforce bedtime, but now there's no point whatsoever.]
