Mauvaise Chance Apartments - Early, Early, God Awful Early Saturday Morning

[hatesparadise]

It had been a normal, peaceful morning that was so early it was practically the night before still. If one wanted to be specific. Or if they were still constrained by the tyrant of time.

Then a piercing noise sounded throughout the building as a fire alarm went off.

Because why get a good night's sleep when you could be dragged out of bed to wait on the tiny, under-worked Fandom Fire Department to come make sure everything was fine?

[Open! Make those threads messy!]

"Not even a gentle sway?" Jaskier had to ask since all his other options were being vetoed.

[notallbluemonks]

"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck youuuuuuuuuuuuu, Liam," Beau yelled back.

AFFECTIONATELY, OKAY.

[solarhippie]

Was he just trying to piss everyone off?

... Okay, so, it was much harder to achieve that with Karolina, actually. But she looked kind of miserable?

"Thanks, I guess."

[solarhippie]

Karolina shook her head. "No, I'm good."

No, she wasn't. She was practically swaying in place. Maybe she should have taken Jaskier's advice about going over to the tree with the pirate.

[texted3times]

Eric winked. "Good evening, Jaskier."

[ohvalleyofpenis]

Look, he couldn't be heard at his normal voice. He had to project.

Which he was very good at.

"Are you certain?"

[texted3times]

There was an awful lot of that there, yes.

"Hello," he said, waving like a huge, shameless jerk.

[ohvalleyofpenis]

"Much better now!" The view almost made up for the noise. Almost.

[notallbluemonks]

"Nah, man, it's cool, it's cool," Beau said quickly, nodding toward the staff in her own hand. "That's just a new one to me."

She paused and huffed a laugh.

"Gotta say it goes with the outfit."

Was that supposed to be a joke, or was Beau being kind of a dick? More likely the former, but honestly it was hard to tell.

"Usually loud enough to make up for the small numbers," Danny replied dryly. Like New Jersey wasn't just as bad.

[thatwaslucky]

"Which would be very helpful-" It would not! "-if I knew I wasn't already going to be up all day now on two hours' sleep."

[long_memory]

"Not even the gentlest," he said. "Even before the leg."

[hatesparadise]

"It's like you want them to take their time," Danny grumbled.

[thatwaslucky]

"And not being able to reach home is a pretty common problem, and it usually settles itself eventually," Rey told her.

[hatesparadise]

"Fire alar---what the actual hell?!" Well, Danny was nice and awake now. So, thanks for that, Yasha.

[notallbluemonks]

"Kar, you're gonna fall over any second," Beau countered. "Kinda trying to avoid that outcome here, you know what I'm saying?"

She made another little grumbly noise.

"Whose fuckin' idea was this, I'm gonna fuckin' kick their ass."

[grenadesandohana]

"You don't know that!" Steve retorted. "It could've been a trap to get us all out here."

[grenadesandohana]

"Exactly! Danny thinks that's weird," Steve said. "Danny is wrong."

[notallbluemonks]

"It's not even that big an island!" Stop trying to drown out the fire alarm with your voice, Beau. There was enough of that going on with Jaskier around.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve laughed harder. "I can see his face," he said. "Like a wet cat, right?"

[ohvalleyofpenis]

Jaskier huffed, giving him a critical once over. "I can still work with this."

He could not, but he'd try.

[thatwaslucky]

Rey actually kind of smiled at that.

"At least you're in good company on that."

[grenadesandohana]

Steve wasn't much for idle chitchat himself. He was just...collecting intel on the neighbors and filed Bucky away.

[firstofitskind]

"Would a coffee help?" Liam offered.

It would not be Perk coffee. It would be Kwik Stop coffee, because that was what was open right now.

[hatesparadise]

"A trap to ge--I can't even call you insane," Danny hissed like this offended him on a personal level. "Because this ridiculous island!"
