Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Feet Below Fandom, Wednesday

[designateddadfriend]

Whelp, it was Wednesday again. And they were still in the hole. At least this Wednesday people had lots of options for things to occupy themselves with, besides trying to right firefighting vehicles?

There was a bowling alley! A campfire (with a somewhat diminished stash of marshmallows)! A music store! An ice cream shop, though its stock was all melted and gross by now! Even some empty warehouses!

So many things to do to take your mind off how absolutely terrible it was that you were stuck in a hole, and there was no clear way out. . . .

It wasn't so much that Rey wanted to be noticed, but she'd also ended up in a hole that sucked up enough water than when she fell through, well, it might have solved some people's shower issues.

And then she was sitting up, looking around and checking, "Grogu?" to make sure he didn't come along.

"MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP," shrieked the now-drenched Beaker because this was his life now, getting hit by whatever came from the ceiling.

Re: New arrivals

[thatwaslucky]

"Sorry," Rey said, actually apologetic. "You're okay?"

If waterlogged?

Re: New arrivals

[meepmeepmeep]

"Meep meep meep," Beaker said.

It was better than an anvil!

Re: New arrivals

[thatwaslucky]

"Not sure I want to know the story behind that," Rey decided.

Re: New arrivals

[meepmeepmeep]

Beaker pointed to Amaya's forge, meeping.

These things happened, Rey.

Re: New arrivals

"Oh," she said, looking. And wincing. "Short story."

Getting a bit soaked was one way to start off your day in a hole. Or continue your day. Time was especially meaningless when you were trapped in an underground cavern.

Stark yelped, very loudly, when some of the water hit him. But he had been down here a week, even a partial rinse off was probably for the best.

"What? Why? Oh. Rey. You brought...the pond?" Usually people brought buildings!

Re: New arrivals

[thatwaslucky]

"Not all of it? I think?" Rey said. She was soaked, but that did seem to happen weirdly often.

Re: New arrivals

[stykera]

"Some of it. Enough of it! I'm wet."

Which he might come around to being pleased about at some point because it was sort of like a very short fully clothed shower. Maybe.

"So are you. You're wetter. Are you all right? Not hurt, just wet?"

Re: New arrivals

[thatwaslucky]

"Just wet," Rey confirmed, nodding. "Are you okay? Is everyone?"

Re: New arrivals

[stykera]

"Nobody's injured." Which sort of answered the question, right?

"But we're trapped. In a hole. Still. And now I'm trapped and I'm wet and you're here and there were more people yesterday, if today is a new day and it isn't still the same day. Which day is it?" He thought he'd been keeping track but it was hard to tell.

Re: New arrivals

[thatwaslucky]

"Wednesday," Rey answered. "Morning, right now."

Re: New arrivals

[long_memory]

"Rey!" He did not even care if her arrival meant that he was soaking wet with pond water right now. He ran up to her as quickly as he could. Which wasn't really fast, but still.

Re: New arrivals

[thatwaslucky]

Getting stuck in a hole was the start of a whole new set of problems, and yet it was worth it at least right this second.

And he was getting a kiss immediately after he got to her.

Re: New arrivals

[long_memory]

Yes, the kiss was absolutely necessary. It had been over a week, and Silver had been losing any hope he'd be seeing her again. "You're really here."

Re: New arrivals

[thatwaslucky]

"I'm here," she said, smiling and bringing a hand up to his face, since she could do that now. "Are you okay?"

Re: New arrivals

[long_memory]

"Yeah," he said, looking so relieved right now. "I mean, no, obviously, but all things considered. You?"

Re: New arrivals

[thatwaslucky]

"Yeah. Aside from not meaning to be in a hole," Rey admitted. "Any idea where this is?"

Re: New arrivals

[thedadalorian]

Well, there was Din there now at the name of his the kid. "Was Grogu up there with you?"

Re: New arrivals

[thatwaslucky]

"He was," she said, nodding. "If he's not down here, then he was out of the way of the hole."

Re: New arrivals

[thedadalorian]

Din let out a sigh as he looked up at the ceiling. "Well. Hopefully he'll find another person to watch him until we get out of here."

Re: New arrivals

[thatwaslucky]

"I'm sure he will, as long as there are still people up there," Rey told him. "He's a great kid."

And cuter than should be allowed.

Re: New arrivals

[thedadalorian]

"He is," he replied, sounding kind of relieved to get it from someone else.

Re: New arrivals

[thatwaslucky]

"And he'll have toys at my apartment, just saying."

She loved him, let her babysit.
