MHA #2 | Wednesday

Diego and Annie had gotten back pretty late last night and immediately flopped into bed. They were both covered in bruises, Diego had a concussion and Annie had emotionally been put through the wringer. They were due for some actual sleep. 

It was later than usual when Diego managed to get out of bed, and shuffle out to get coffee from the kitchen, still limping slightly from being thrown around by Stormfront. He had gotten a mug out of the cabinet and was half-turned towards the coffee machine when he noticed a bald lady mannequin sitting at his kitchen table.

"Oh, Jesus!" And now there was a broken mug on the floor. Thanks, Dolores.

"I can deal with that," he said. "I don't know who would be visiting, but maybe Dolores will appreciate it."

"You didn't know Klaus was coming last year, right? I'd rather be prepared than to just let the room languish," Annie pointed out. "And I wouldn't be surprised if Five overdoes it and has to crash with us again at some point, anyway."

Aww. Crash with us.

"You're right. His tiny body can't really handle the amount of margaritas he wants to drink," Diego said with a nod.

"I mean, I understand that -- me too, dude. But the bars are so much closer," Annie noted. Which was good, because guess who totally had a bar shift she didn't know about on Monday? "And he can drink at Caritas, at least."

And also Annie herself was not, like, immune to Summer's jello shots. (Oh, boy, Summer was going to be her neighbor!!!!)

"I think he would have taken out everybody in this town if both bars didn't serve him." He was only slightly exaggerating.

[defenderofdesmoines]

"Man, do you think we could get Five drunk enough to get onstage at Caritas?" Like, the fact that the one bar that served minors was also the karaoke bar was totally, totally something to be exploited.

Of course, if Annie were smart, she'd stay far away from Caritas herself as long as there were people on this island who knew about 'Never Truly Vanish.'

But Annie wasn't that smart.

"Maybe," he said. "But you might wake up dead the next day once he's sober."

[defenderofdesmoines]

"I'll risk it," Annie decided loftily. Look, like, three different Supes had tried to kill her in the last couple weeks, and none had succeeded. She'd take her chances with Five. (Again: not that smart.) "And take video for him."
