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.

"There's some orange juice left," Rey told him. "Also cranberry and lime, and probably some others, and they'll all go bad pretty soon if we don't move them."

He probably shouldn't have another mimosa, but...

"Pass me that OJ and the vodka."

Oh yeah, a screwdriver was so much better. Sure.

"What do you make with that?" she asked, passing both over to him.

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

[hatesparadise]

"Screwdriver," Danny replied. "Two parts juice, one part vodka. Pretty easy to make. You wanna try one?"

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

"Sure. In the name of getting rid of perishables," she said.

Cute, Rey.

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

[hatesparadise]

Oh yeah, that was it. "Get another glass. If you don't like it... someone'll drink it."

Meaning him or Annie at this rate.

"Nothing better to do down here."

"I've been finding things," Rey admitted. "I try to come up with stuff to keep other people busy too, if they want it."

It was a little harder to delegate when you weren't used to it.

"You're right," Danny admitted, offering her the drink. "It's just... difficult after being down here so long. You know?"

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

"Yeah. The saving grace is that things keep falling in so that at least gives a little more to do," Rey said. "And I leave it at that."

Because thinking about everything ending up here was depressing and she'd leave that for other people.

"Also new people." Which was a blessing and a curse.

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

"I've liked seeing some of them."

Some were great! Some raided the bar.

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

"I'd prefer to see them up top, but agreed," Danny said, taking a sip of his drink. "But I'm calm. I'm staying calm about all this."

If he said it enough, it was true!

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

[thatwaslucky]

"You're at least allowed moments of not calm," Rey told him. "And for those moments you're not, you can make the drinks stronger."

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

[hatesparadise]

"So, constantly, huh?" he only half joked.

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

[thatwaslucky]

"I wouldn't blame you," Rey smiled. "At least more until something happens where I need another rational person around."

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

[hatesparadise]

"To rationality in a very irrational world," Danny said, lifting his glass in a toast.

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

[thatwaslucky]

"And an even more irrational hole," she said, raising her glass in return.

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

[hatesparadise]

"Right?" At least there was bowling!

"I'm spending good amounts of my days portioning food and trying to blast a hole in the ceiling, that's where we are now," she said.

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

"Nice work with the... laser sword thing." Look. He wasn't from space, okay?

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

[thatwaslucky]

"Lightsaber." She was used to correcting that. "We've started adding ship cannons, so hopefully we'll be out of here much quicker than if it was just me."

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

[hatesparadise]

"We sure that's not gonna come down on us?" Well, with Wanda there now, it was less likely.

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

"I'm telekinetic. I have a lot of experience with lifting rocks," she said with a little smile.

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

[hatesparadise]

"That... I did not know. Congratulations?" Was that a thing to be congratulated?

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

[thatwaslucky]

"Thank you?" Rey said, amused.
