Devil's Nest | Monday Night

[defenderofdesmoines]

"Hey, so were you a little kid this weekend?" Annie greeted Tiny, who barely looked up from the glass he was wiping. "I was. I was four."

And when he didn't answer her, Annie continued, "It would've been kind of funny if you'd been little this weekend."

Aaaand cue Tiny starting to walk away from her.

"Because you would've actually been tiny!" And off he went into the back, where he likely couldn't hear her yell, "It wouldn't have just been ironic!"

Anyway. The bar was open, Annie was here, and she was her normal five-foot-six.

"Bourbon."

Hi Annie. How are you? Good? Great!

That's what that one word greeting possibly meant.

Fortunately, Annie was pretty used to Jessica by now and she totally heard all of that in the greeting, even as she got the bottle and poured a glass of bourbon for her.

"So," Annie had to know, sliding it over, "were you a very little Jessica Jones this weekend, or did you get to stay an adult?"

There was a negative grunt in response to that question. "No," she said wrapping her fingers around the glass and taking a long sip. "I woke up to a small child screaming on the radio and spent the weekend locked in my apartment as any sane individual would do."

"I am going to need the largest bottle of scotch you can find," Lucifer said, sinking down into a seat. "It won't do any good, but at least I'll have something to drink."

"I'll have what he's having," Jessica said to Tiny while pointing at Lucifer.

"And hello to you too, miss Jones," Lucifer said, smirking at her. "I hope you didn't have to face the world from a smaller perspective this weekend."

"Don't tell me you turned into a tiny child this weekend?" Annie asked, wide-eyed as she got his scotch.

What would that have even looked like?

Re: Talk to Annie | 1/11

Lucifer blinked. "No, of course not," he said. "I'm an angel. We all came into the world fully-formed."

Well, physically. They had still been children. And then teenagers. But very big ones.

"So, uh. How much damage did I end up doing to your place?" Duke asked, leaning against the bar next to him.

Danny felt the need to check in on Annie now that the weekend was over. He'd be checking in on a few folks for many reasons.

"Didn't explode from the sugar, huh?"

"No, and thank you for being the one adult to make sure I ate something real all weekend," Annie told him with a smile. "I did my absolute, four year-old best to make sure I ended up in a diabetic coma."

"I believe I may owe you a muffin."

Nina a) had class and b) was under-aged (which didn't stop her nearly as much as the fact she was teaching right now) so Annie was getting a text instead of a visit:

Should I, like, be congratulating you on your apparent marriage to Danny??????????

Look, Nina found her tiny-self's misconceptions on radio hilarious.

Re: Talk to Annie | 1/11

[defenderofdesmoines]

lol. it was a beautiful wedding.

Look, Annie knew she could have done worse than Danny, please. And as far as misconceptions went - look, she was also just very glad that little Nina had not known what had actually happened with Danny, Steve and Diego in her apartment, there, because oh her God.

"Tonight is definitely a night for an adult drink," Duke announced as he came up to the bar. "How about an old fashioned?"

Re: Talk to Annie | 1/11

[defenderofdesmoines]

"Those are easy!" Annie declared happily. "I can do that. I hear you might have robbed Lucifer blind this weekend?"

She, at least, had only doused herself in sprinkles, so as far as damage went, it wasn't all that lasting.

Liam didn’t stop into either of the bars in town that often, since he wasn’t really much for drinking, but much like Danny he felt the need to check in on Annie today.

“I see you survived the sugar crash.”

"It was a close thing," Annie told him with a smile. "My dry-cleaning bill is going to be ridiculous, though."

Actually, probably not, since it was just going to be her uniform. The sheets would likely be destroyed.

ANNIE'S RECOMMENDATION: GET A WIG



Although the wig in the gif set is definitely a different wig than this one, which looks terrible:
