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.

"Fun interesting?" Annie prompted, now curiously eyeing the espresso flavor since she'd drawn attention to it.

"Yes? I can't say what it tastes like," she realized.

"It's because it tastes like rainbow nonsense. We'll have Froot Loops when we get out of here. And Shooting Stars!" Annie said, eyes wide with realization. "They're finally producing it! I'll bring you some!"

Important things!

"Is this your cereal?" Rey asked, smiling.

Re: Life in the hole - Bowling Alley

"With the marshmallows," Annie said, nodding. "They had to stop making Stormfront stuff really abruptly so they're like, cranking Starlight and Maeve things out like crazy, now. Including my cereal but also, like, sooooo many things for your hair?"

Girls still got it done, just...now with less Nazis.

"Tell me about the things for your hair."

Her boyfriend got a restaurant, Annie got marshmallows and things for hair.

"Oh my God, I have a whole line," Annie told her excitedly. "It's all, like, scented nice and called 'WISH.'" Did you not expect Annie to do a little jazz handed flourish there? Because that was silly of you. "But, like, shampoo and conditioner, hair spray, pomade -- which is silly, 'cause my hair won't do anything with that, but I think they're probably trying to do products that mimic my old wig rather than my actual hair."

And little did Annie know that she'd have to record a music video in less than two weeks, featuring an even bigger wig.

"I don't know what half those things are but they sound amazing, Rey told her, smiling.

"Like a lot of what I used to good-witch-ify you," Annie supplied helpfully. "It's fun. And it's back to school soon, too, so I get to do a lunchbox shoot soon."

It would also be for backpacks and pencil cases, but Annie liked referring to it as a lunchbox photoshoot because it was funnier.

"At least you seem to be having fun with this now," Rey said, because she was sort of vaguely aware of lunchboxes when it came to kids and not like, bags people carried lunch in in commercials.

"Things are better," Annie said with a firm nod. "Like, it all got sooooo bad for a second, but now it's kind of fun. I was supposed to go help with an actual emergency when I fell in here, too."

And now instead Queen Maeve was just going to blow up her boyfriend's phone asking where she was, but at least Annie didn't have to deal with Deep.

"I hope it worked out okay," Rey said, frowning. "We can go back to talking about product placement if you want."

Re: Life in the hole - Bowling Alley

[defenderofdesmoines]

"It probably worked out fine," Annie said, waving a hand. "They sooo don't need seven of us. And I'm probably gonna have even more products to place, soon, 'cause I'm going to be in a movie."

If the reshoots ever wrapped, anyway.

"I hope I get to be on a popcorn bucket." That was the dream.

Re: Life in the hole - Bowling Alley

"Wait, we're going to be able to see you in a movie?"

Annie.

Annie.

You were so gonna be a movie night subject. Sorry.

Re: Life in the hole - Bowling Alley

"Uh huh. Probably doesn't come out until next summer," Annie warned. "But yeah. Mostly so far I hook my hands in my belt, look menacing, and tell people...."

Oh, there was throat-clearing and posing now. Oh dear.

"'Girls get it done.'"

Re: Life in the hole - Bowling Alley

[thatwaslucky]

"Oh wow," Rey said, trying not to look as amused as she felt, but also like...

Re: Life in the hole - Bowling Alley

[defenderofdesmoines]

"Its feminism, Rey," Annie told her, clearly trying not to laugh.

But also, you know, still with her hands on her belt like an idiot.

"I still have so many things to learn about this planet," Rey teased.
