Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Feet Below Fandom, Tuesday

[designateddadfriend]

Happy Tuesday, everyone! There was a wealth of places to hang out down here now, and a whole community of people doing it, whether they liked it or not.

And don't forget that ceiling divot! They were making good headway up there!

. . . Which mostly served to demonstrate just how deep this weird little hole really was.

Who will show up today?

Re: New arrivals

[scarlet_chaos]

Annnnnnnd there was another building falling from the ceiling. Luckily Wanda's powers kicked in at just the last second so she was able to save the Magic Box from taking too much damage, letting it land with a soft thud onto the ground.

She stumbled out of the front door a moment later, brushing her hair out of her face. That was a wild ride. At least she had managed to get the baby out of the way.

[designateddadfriend]

". . . Huh," Travis said. "The red glow is new."

Re: New arrivals

[thedadalorian]

Could she always do that? Because that was a thing. And it probably explained that super red outfit from that one weird day.

"So. Magic, huh?"

Space magic! Space magic!

Re: New arrivals

[heroic_jawline]

"Wanda!" Steve said, grinning. "Your landing was better than mine."

Re: New arrivals

[defenderofdesmoines]

There was one person Annie knew who had red magic powers.

At least, on the island. And the Magic Box was a clue, too.

"Wanda?" she called, running over in her uniform (now featuring bowling shoes.) "Are you all right?"

Re: New arrivals

[alwaysonguard]

Ok so that was the softest landing he had seen any of the buildings take, which Dwight was very thankful for considering he had not been too far away when the hole decided they needed more company.

He jogged over to check on whoever might be inside, breathing a sigh of relief when he saw them climbing out on their own.

"You ok?" he called out as he approach. "Hurt at all?"

Re: Life in the hole - by the campfire

[designateddadfriend]

Travis was stretched out on his back by the campfire today, just staring up at the ceiling.

It wasn't a sad lump day. It wasn't. He was just . . . taking a break. Getting some R&R like Dwight had suggested. You know, maybe in a slightly nihilistic way where he thought too much about the ceiling collapsing in on them or someone being in the wrong place when a building fell in. . . .

Re: Life in the hole - by the campfire

[heroic_jawline]

"It's not going to fall," Steve told him. "Not without some warning noises first."

"Right, it's a bar, it's bound to have more drink in it," Edward said, looking at the boys. "More'n enough to make up for the rum if we're stranded in this ungodly place for much longer."

Grim frowned at him.

"I know, I know, we're sharin' with the land-locked lot, but surely--"

Edward sighed. Shook his head. "Ah, what am I blathering on about?" he said. "Let's break in and see if we can't secure some of the better stock for our huddle, shall we?"

Pirate booze raid!

Re: Life in the hole- The Devil's Nest

[thatwaslucky]

It was kind of weird that this was the place most familiar to Rey in this hole, but she still had to go in and check out what they actually had to see what was usable besides the alcohol.

There were certain mixers that had to be used up before they went bad, the sodas would be fine, and there were a lot of bottles set out on the bar while going through things, and now Rey was sitting in her usual seat going through a drink recipe book out of curiosity.

[hatesparadise]

"There's no more orange juice, right?" Danny asked, kind of sad that the mimosas were gone. But hey, they could do a coffee drink, right?

Re: Life in the hole- The Devil's Nest

[defenderofdesmoines]

Annie, who was still wearing her bowling shoes from yesterday because they were surprisingly way more comfortable than her gold wedge-heeled boots, had found a bottle of Bailey's that she was sniffing suspiciously.

"It's so weird that this stuff doesn't have to be refrigerated," she decided, making a little face. "Okay, of the juices, what do we think is going to go bad first? Orange?"

Probably the orange, yeah. It maybe had hours, at this point.

Re: Life in the hole- The Devil's Nest

[stykera]

It had been almost 2 weeks in this hole now and maybe some day drinking was in order. Or maybe Stark was looking for friendly faces after doing some aimless wandering around the hole yet again. Maybe it was a combination of the two.

"Are you making drinks?" he asked, eyeing the recipe book.

Re: Life in the hole - also by the campfire

[heroic_jawline]

Steve had done several loops around the hole to memorize where the buildings were placed and who was here, and then a few more just to release some restless energy.

He'd found himself something to eat from the bowling alley (chips never really went bad and orange cheese was mostly plastic) and was now settled near the fire because he wasn't great with being in the dark.

At least there wasn't water to bring back all of the terrible North Atlantic memories. He wouldn't stay still long: Steve wasn't build for sitting.

Re: Life in the hole - A Convenient Dark Corner

[shapethecentury]

Well, it was less of a corner, and more just... a spot by the wall of one of the buildings, not in everyone's direct view. Good enough for someone trying to regroup.

Which Bucky was trying to do. Had been trying to do since yesterday, since the realization had hit that he was trapped here, now.

Sleeping might have helped, but sleeping had been impossible.

Pay no attention to the weary, wary-looking man sitting in the shadows, trying to will his phone into catching a signal.

Re: Life in the hole - A Convenient Dark Corner

[scarlet_chaos]

Wanda had been down here for all of a half hour and was trying to get a lay of the land (cave). She did a double take when she passed Bucky. Then wondered if she should say something because she knew there was a whole doppelganger thing that happened sometimes.

Then decided, screw it, they were going to be down in this cave for god knows how long, she might as well give it a shot.

"Bucky?"

Re: Life in the hole - A Convenient Dark Corner

[heroic_jawline]

Steve had left Bucky alone on his first few circuits around the area--he knew that profile entirely too well to not know who it was--but after some time sitting still, he was back up and moving.

"Did you eat yet?" he called out quietly.

He knew how super stomach emptied too quickly.

Re: Life in the hole - Summer's Ship.

[white_oleander]

Although some of the damage looked like it was not nearly as fresh as what had been sustained in the subsequent fall into the hole and whatever other hits it may have taken, Astrid did have some pink paint mixed up from what she'd used for the cave drawings. And she knew that it had been Sabine's work, originally, on the ship. So she felt compelled, at some point when it wasn't being used to blast (or attempt to blast) holes in the ceiling, to come over with a brush and do a little patch work on the paint job.

Mostly for Sabine than for Summer, really, although she supposed it probably wouldn't hurt to get in good with her sort-of boss by sprucing up her ship a little while it was here.

Re: Life in the hole - Summer's Ship.

[flourish_or_perish]

"Are you writing dirty words?" Faye asked, when she noticed the girl using a paintbrush on Summer's ship.

It was what Faye would do.

Re: Life in the hole - by the campfire, but now drunk

[defenderofdesmoines]

After everyone had been in the Devil's Nest for awhile, helpfully using up those mixers before they went bad (it was altruism, really), it somehow came up that there was a campfire, and campfire stories and songs could totally be a thing.

And you know who'd been to summer camp and was, like, an expert on these things? And who had probably drunk way more vodka than she should have?

Right here. Yep.

"So!" Annie started in a bright, cheerful yell because what was voice modulation when you were tipsy? "Who wants to hear a ghost story? Or we could do a sing-a-long?"

But ghost stories might be better. For like a lot of reasons.

Re: Life in the hole - by the campfire, but now drunk

[designateddadfriend]

"But we're out of marshmallows," Travis pointed out. He'd gotten around to propping himself up on his hands, and was eating ravioli out of a can. "But I guess when in a hole, one must make sacrifices."

He had strong opinions about campfires and roasting marshmallows.

Re: Life in the hole - the Red Tail

[flourish_or_perish]

Faye had mostly stuck to her own ship today, save for a few sneaky forays into a few of the buildings (though they were genuinely sneaky enough that she hadn't needed the furniture dolly.) She knew there was some kind of drinking thing going on in the bar, but considering she'd secured her own private stash of what seemed to be really good wine from Hannibal's, she was set.

So Faye was lounging in her ship, her legs stretched out over the controls as she enjoyed a drink and a trashy romance novel she'd forgotten she had stashed under one of the seats for the next time she got stranded in open space.

It happened a lot to her. Sometimes even on purpose, but usually not.
