Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Feet Below Fandom, Monday

[designateddadfriend]

Guess what, y'all! There's a bar here now! Why, the hole was practically swimming in coping mechanisms things to do!

. . . Was it still day drinking if there was no external marker of time passing other than people and things falling through the ceiling?

And it was in that moment, when the woman approached her and asked if she was alright, that the realization of everything seemed to settled into Sakaki, and she blinked at her, a little stunned at first and not sure what to say.

Because the scariness of having fallen into an unknown hole into an unknown place filled with darkness and other unknowns was starting to dawn on her.

She'd just wanted to see if the animals were okay!

"I..." she finally managed to start. "I...I think so?"

If the feeling of a slowly encroaching terror creeping up into the pit of her stomach could be considered 'all right' anyway.

"Who....who are you?"

She really needed to get out more.

"I'm Rey," she said with a little smile that she hoped was reassuring. "I've been down here a few days."

And see, she was fine!

"A few...a few days?" Sakaki asked, and she might be stuck in repetition phase for a moment at least, with translation to English not exactly being at the forefront of her mind just then. She tried to think back to when all this hole stuff started happening, and a few days didn't seem that long, comparatively.

"Where are we?" she then managed, with a nervous look up, which she instantly regretted.

"I think we're under the island. Pretty far down, but we're tunneling out," Rey told her. "We're on it."

Sakaki nodded a little at that, but her frown still deepened with worry.

"Is there...is there anything else down here?" she ventured, sounding almost as if she didn't really want to hear the answer. "I mean....besides..." She looked around a little wide-eyed at all the missing buildings, "all of us?"

"Just us," Rey told her. "It's mostly a lot of nothing, and the only thing we're really worried about it boredom-" And existential l dread. "-but we're making our own fun."

Kind of.
