[Wonderful. Stan is angry. Ford tries to brace himself for the inevitable argument, but surprisingly enough, Stan compromises.

Ford glares up at his brother, but he says nothing. Once Stanley's gone, Stanford staggers to his bed, shedding what clothes he can before he passes out.]

[Stan isn't really feeling much better about things, but it's easy to distract himself with the fact that Ford is legitmately hurt and needs care. He got Mikan as quickly as he could, and he's let Ford rest. He's awake enough now to be answering messages from people though, and given how annoyed he was earlier Stan feels a little like he should have left hours ago, or like maybe he's outstayed his welcome.

Despite that, he's decided to stick around. He can't just leave Ford like this, not after everything, even if Ford's refusing to shift the blame on him for whatever stupid reason. A few minutes ago Stan ducked out though, once he finally started feeling hungry again, and he's come back with some to-go containers in hand.]

Sixer, you still up? I grabbed us some burgers from that diner upstairs!

[He kind of belatedly remembers to knock on the door frame, after he's already announced himself. Oops.]

[Ford isn't feeling much better emotionally, or physically either to be perfectly honest, but by now he's bathed and in fresh clothes (pajamas, actually) and tucked into bed. Mikan has seen to his stump and he's all medicated and relatively cozy.

There are, however, a few changes. Nothing is different about Ford's main room except for the mysterious addition of another door. His bedroom, with its open door, also has a connecting door that's new too, and through it, a nearly identical copy of Stan's bedroom in Gravity Falls, plus an offshoot bathroom of its own. On Ford's bedside table there are several bottles of pills and a set of keys.

He has his communicator in hand, and a tablet he pulled from the closet to watch 21st century TV. Just to catch up on culture. That's all.]

Come on in, Knucklehead.

[Stan brings over one of the to-go containers right over to Ford and flicks it open so Ford doesn't have to fuss with that with one hand.]

Ta da! Real food! Figure burgers and fries would prolly be easy to deal with when you've only got one arm.

[That's when Stan spots the new addition to the room, and stares at it.]

That, uh. ...That door wasn't there when I left, right?

[He's pretty sure it wasn't, but he can't imagine why Ford would be redecorating now.]

[mviw]

[Ford glances at the food. The... ugh... food. Fast food. Low nutrition, high in saturated fat, amongst other unhealthy things. He's about to complain (he has that expression) when Stan brings his attention to the latest addition to Ford's apartment.]

--Right! It's the guest room; technically, your room. Go have a look.
