Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Feet Below Fandom, Wednesday

[designateddadfriend]

The hole was still a hole. The divot in the ceiling was still not one yet. The impact on the Devil's Nest's liquor stock could maybe charitably be called a hole, though.

Happy Wednesday folks! It's hump day! That, like Wednesdays, days in general, and perhaps even time itself was essentially meaningless down here.

"That was the plan," Danny said, glancing up at the ceiling. "Unless things changed in the last few weeks."

Maybe there was some heterosexual panic! Which, admittedly, Danny was still dealing with too.

"Uh, I was there 'til Sunday, and like, we weren't really talking about this," Annie told him, "but I don't think anything's changed for Steve. He's real desperate to get you out of here."

Because he loooooooooooved you, Danny. Annie was seriously beaming over this development. (Which might have been kind of a look, under the blacklight.)

Those super pearly white teeth, yes.

"We were in the middle of a case, so we couldn't really figure it out for sure and then this shit happened. So I'm a little anxious about it all."

"Did you solve the case?" Annie had to ask. "Seriously, just the fact that you guys talked is so huge, though! And it went well."

Seriously, if Steve got cold feet or whatever once they got back aboveground, Annie might punch him or something.

"Yeah, it was a jewelry heist with one too many twists in it," Danny said, offering a hopeful little grin that it would turn out well. It was not his natural inclination to expect the best.

"We can do a double-date when we get out of here," Annie decided, having more than enough optimism for several people. "Something violent where we can drink wine."

Re: Life in the hole - Bowling Alley

[hatesparadise]

"Oh, I think it'll end up violent no matter what," Danny assured her. Because their collective luck, man.

Re: Life in the hole - Bowling Alley

[defenderofdesmoines]

It was true; if you weren't being chased or blown up with Danny and Steve, you ran the risk of being shot in a restaurant with the other two.

"But competitive and violent," Annie tried, nodding. "For our amusement."

Like Annie wouldn't freak out trying to win, herself.

"You know what? That's a great idea," Danny replied after thinking it over. "So, find a bar that has, like, extreme sports where we can watch them be idiots."

Re: Life in the hole - Bowling Alley

[defenderofdesmoines]

"Nothing with, like, aim," Annie decided. Though depending on how this went, she might not re-voice that stipulation down the line. Namely, if she and Diego were actually on a team together. "But like there's gotta be a bar that does, I dunno, competitive arm wrestling or something."

Re: Life in the hole - Bowling Alley

[hatesparadise]

"So we can make people cry with you when they stop entertaining us," Danny said like that was a given.

Re: Life in the hole - Bowling Alley

[defenderofdesmoines]

"They'll think I'm cheating if we go somewhere normal," Annie noted. "Like the mainland."

Which just meant they might find their violence in the form of an aggressive bar patron with a sense of fairness!

Re: Life in the hole - Bowling Alley

[hatesparadise]

Pfff. Bar fights were totally a normal thing that happened.

"Maybe one of those bars with the giant Jenga sets. You know those two would go nuts to win it."

Re: Life in the hole - Bowling Alley

[defenderofdesmoines]

Annie actually snapped her fingers at him in excitement. "Yes! That. Diego doesn't know board games, like, at all."

Was she basing this entirely off how he hadn't gotten her awesome Clue reference the time he'd told her about his house growing up? You bet she was.

Re: Life in the hole - Bowling Alley

[hatesparadise]

Danny was just horrified by this, obviously. "So, we gotta fix that."

Oh god, they were going to start a game of Monopoly to watch Diego and Steve engage in a war of attrition that would take hours to end.
