Devil's Nest | Sunday Evening

[long_memory]

Silver was very grateful for his clothes being back. However he would look into buying more since the lack of outfits he had seemed to upset Danny. He was also grateful it wasn't so damn hot because he hadn't quite figured out how to work the air conditioning in his apartment.

So despite the odd music playing around town, all signs pointed to this week being better than the last.

Did he expect a baboon to walk into the bar today? Because that's what was happening right now. A baboon in a sweater, walking around and checking things out.

[long_memory]

Well...that was new. And strange.

Silver watched the newcomer carefully, getting the feeling he wasn't in danger but not turning his back anyway. It was hard to feel threatened by a monkey in a sweater.

He kind of hoped he was hallucinating.

[fh_animalcrossing]

Nope, no hallucination!

In fact, as Boone contentedly walked around looking like he wasn't actually sure what to do in here, he even gave a big smile and a wave. New friend? New friend!

[long_memory]

Silver gave a very hesitant wave back. "Can I help you?"

[fh_animalcrossing]

"Hey there, baboom!" Boone greeted him cheerfully. "Nice house you got here! You could fit a whole gym in here!"

[long_memory]

What the fuck?

"This isn't my house," Silver replied. "It's a bar."

[fh_animalcrossing]

"Sounds great for doing pull-ups!" Boone said, laughing at his own joke. "Name's Boone, what's yours, baboom?"

[long_memory]

"John," he said, regretting being optimistic about this week earlier. "What's a baboom?"

[fh_animalcrossing]

"That's you, John!" Boone said happily. "Do you mind if I call you baboom, baboom?"

[long_memory]

"Sure you can, why not?" he said with a sigh. "Would you like something to drink?"

[fh_animalcrossing]

"Thanks, baboom! I'll have a grape soda!"

There probably wouldn't be many alcoholic beverages consumed by animals this week untless Gulliver stopped by.

[long_memory]

"Just let me check the back and see if we have it." And figure out what the hell grape soda was.

Luckily there was some grape Fanta hidden away in storage. It may or may not have been expired, but Silver didn't think it would make much of a difference once it was in a glass with ice.

"Here you go." Enjoy your flat grape soda, Boone.

[fh_animalcrossing]

"Thanks! I can't just let you give me somethin' for nothin', so here!"

Boone reached into his pockets- no he didn't have pants, just go with it- and handed over an item of clothing.

"A basketball tank! It's the least I could do, baboom!"

"Am I hallucinating?" Jaskier asked, looking at the elephant in the room. Which was actually a baboon.

[long_memory]

"Sadly you are not," Silver said. "His name is Boone."

[ohvalleyofpenis]

"Ah." THAT EXPLAINED NOTHING AT ALL. "How lovely for him."

[long_memory]

"Would you like some hard liquor?" 'Cause that's how he was coping.

[ohvalleyofpenis]

"Yes, please." You read his mind, Silver.

[long_memory]

"I thought when we got our clothes back it was the end of this nonsense," Silver said, filling up a glass of rum since that was what he was drinking.

[ohvalleyofpenis]

"Well. Perhaps this will go away shortly?" Or Jaskier could end up being super jealous of a cartoon dog drawing a bigger crowd than him.

[long_memory]

To be fair, K.K. Slider was a super talented dog.

"God willing," Silver said, finishing up his own glass of rum and pouring himself some more. "At least we're not spouting out the truth against our will anymore."

[ohvalleyofpenis]

HEY. UNCOOL.

"Oh, that was horrid," he said, making a face as he downed a swig of rum.

[long_memory]

"I'm lucky I didn't interact with people that could really do much damage," he said. "It could have been much worse."

[ohvalleyofpenis]

Jaskier gave him a sympathetic look. "Well, it's over now and we have rum. And a baboon."

[long_memory]

"He gave me a shirt in exchange for a drink," Silver said, lifting up the ugly basketball tank he received.
