Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Feet Below Fandom, Thursday

Happy Thursday, hole-y people! Were you going insane yet? Some of you had the good fortune of having a loved one down here with you, so maybe not!

Travis probably was. But, like, in a quiet way now where he was almost used to never seeing the sun again.

This was the perfect time to learn to play guitar, right?

Actual nutrition? Perish the thought! Stark, if left down here too much longer, would probably sit around eating chocolate chips and leaving real food to other people in case they needed it more.

"There were vegetables. Not in here. At the fire station and the house. I don't know what's left, now. Nuts are good. There's plenty of those in here. There's blueberries? They look fine. I think. The strawberries don't."

Chopped berries soaking in their own juice didn't keep well without refrigeration, who knew?

"This isn't the most thrilling work, sorry," Rey said with a little smile.

She had a lot of ideas for jobs. None of them were thrilling. They were rote and killed time, which was the point.

"I don't need thrilling," Stark said. "Just something to do. Otherwise I'm just thinking and I worry and I think too much and..." And nothing good came of that.

"It's better to have something to do."
thatwaslucky: (gonna be fine)

"I know all about that," Rey told him. "I'll keep you busy, don't worry."

"Thank you. I was doing alright. Mostly." Sort of.

"And... then I wasn't. Tomorrow might be better. Later might be better. I don't know."

"Do you need a hug?" Rey asked him.

Stark blinked a few times then nodded. "I... it might help. Yes?"

"Okay," she said, moving in to give him a hug.

It'd been a long time in the hole.
stykera: (hug)

It had been over a week in the hole! Stark was going to gratefully take that hug.

"Thank you."
thatwaslucky: (doing okay)

"Of course," she told him. "If you need more of that, or something to do, whatever, I'm here."
stykera: (serious talk)

"Thank you," Stark repeated. "I'll remember that. I'm trying."
