[ happy to report nico is no longer dressed as pikachu, so danny gets to see him in his full goth attire of black on black on black. his hands are shoved deep into the pockets of his jacket, and he seems to be frowning in thought at that. ]
This isn't the first time the answers have been almost more useless than being left in the dark. What I'm more concerned about is why our leaders aren't supposed to be here either. Who really decided all of this?
[ well. this is a terrible way to wake up. nico's out and walking, trying to get a gauge on literally anything that's going on when he finds someone familiar. ]
Is it terrible that I'm unsurprised something like this happened...?
[ glad the nicktoon got orange slime'd. anyway by now he has like. been made aware that danny, hung and jolyne were also at the casino.
he does not look any more amused though, given the way his expression is pretty blank. ]
Peachy. I love being taken somewhere against my free will and playing along unknowingly. [ but he eyes him carefully. ] Though it sounds as if your venture was a lot more annoying than ours.
[ the grocery store is currently our only means of food now that the konbini is officially forever tainted and also probably still ruined. so he's here and he's sort of aimlessly wandering the aisles, eventually grabbing a pack of oreoes before turning the corner and spotting danny.
which...hm. man. ]
...what a day. [ he's gauging mostly because argalia definitely murdered chiemi, but that was still danny's teammate. ]
it's likely someone let him in so danny can come up to the second floor. per word of mod, the lounge greets you with plenty of seating and plush, red cushions and blankets for comfort. ornate red dividers and sliding doors separate this area from the kitchen. ig we also have a tv now but it's off because nico is half-drapes over will who is asleep and nico is staring off into space.
but there's a thin, uneasy smile with that. ]
Believe it or not I would have vastly preferred the casino if this was happening twice. I'm kind of surprised it did happen again.
[ Danny does not respond at first, because he is currently busy absolutely smashing the bejesus out of every piece of wooden furniture in this section of tarkea with a steel baseball bat
when he hears nico, he actually freezes up for a second. ]
[ danny is here at the storybook cafe, unhappily slurping on...idk, a smoothie i guess. he's sitting alone and glaring off into the middle distance while he drinks like a total weirdo. ]
[ valid of him. nico is probably grabbing coffee because mondays are always a fucking shitshow, but. he at least notices danny's by himself and sighs a little as he approaches. ]
Do you want your brooding interrupted, or should I leave you to your thoughts?
[ he is just. trudging back to the dorm area, debating which dorm he's going to try to get into and still dripping wet from his swim in the lake but he stops upon seeing the mess around ox and snake's dorms?
and also upon seeing danny, who gets a short nod of greeting. ]
...guess today was a major L. [ he looks exhausted just from saying it, but also he's...pretty unhappy with the news. ]
[ you know what, that actually gets a very slight and exhausted grin from him. ]
Thanks. [ and he's taking it. ] ...you know, the thing about it is that we were doing fairly well up until everything went completely off the rails. But I guess we still did...something?
[ they can both be hanging around try violince, which means nico is here with a hand in his pocket, a demon on his shoulder, a cup of coffee in his hand and a somewhat curious expression on his face. is it possible he's already thinking about how somebody might fuck this place up in the next few days? more likely than you think. ]
Not that I'm complaining much, but seems a little redundant when we can stream music from our phones doesn't it?
[ we are at: the halloween store! now that it's open and full of merchandise and not burning!
Danny is just staring at the screaming rugs and keeps stepping on them to make them scream. Then steps off. Then on again. Then off. My god....the technology.... ]
[ he's honestly just standing here and staring at this as it occurs. ]
Dude...do you have any idea how great these would be as a trap for the dorm doors? Hide them, and then the minute anyone steps outside, it'd scream and scare the living daylights out of them. [ why is this his first thought. don't worry about it, it's not like danny can read his real thoughts. yet. ]
[ he should maybe like. question why. but it's danny so whatever, he will wander toward tiger dorm! i guess i can also mention that to add to full stupidity as he's approaching danny can. probably see there's a trail of black dahlia flowers blooming after each step that he is blatantly ignoring.
[ i feel like now is the time to mention that earlier he was in a baggy hoodie but also a different crop top, black distressed jeans and he's still apparently experimenting with eyeliner. just so you have the full picture of what he's doing here.
which is to say that weirdly whenever he does find danny he seems to have two to-go cups of coffee from the cafe in his hand. he offers him one. ]
...there's creamer and sugar in my pocket, and if you don't want it at all then I'll drink it myself I guess. [ the vibes are...complicated. but mostly they seem to be settled on quietly relieved. ]
[ he's sitting on the sand, staring at the ocean and still wrapped in his jacket. ]
Hey, dude. Have fun today? [ idly. because sometimes it's just good to rage and beat the shit out of a guy who's been fucking up your lives for eight weeks. ]
