Around Town | Late Thursday Morning

[knife_bender]

Okay, well, it had been pretty well established that patrolling the town was useless, but what else were people like Diego supposed to do? It had been hammered in his head since birth to take action, even if the efforts were futile.

Which probably also explained Five's determination to stop the apocalypse even though he had nothing to go on.

So, yeah. Walking around town yet again. For some reason. Maybe he'd find a hole to jump in.

[For a few!]

"Me too." Annie took a moment to just go on her toes and press a kiss to his cheek, kind of needing a little bit of comfort even if she was worried enough for this to be a pretty focused patrol. "Like, I'm never the...plans-y one, anyway, but I feel exceptionally stupid right now."

So at least Diego shouldn't feel dumb alone.

"I think we're in good company with that," he said with a sigh. "Kind of makes me feel better."

"And at least we're together," Annie added, bumping her shoulder against his arm. "I'd probably be such a wreck if you'd fallen in."

She wasn't exactly doing great, emotionally, with two of her best friends in there.

"Don't jinx us," Diego said lightly, leaning in to kiss her cheek. "I'd lose my damn mind."

"No jinxes," Annie agreed, smiling the tiniest bit as she looked around and gently tapped on a tree with her knuckles. There. Superstition fulfilled. "We'll figure it out, Diego. We have to. Even if we don't, someone will."

And until then, they'd...keep walking in circles while Annie prayed and came up with increasingly stupid plans.

(The backhoe was kind of an okay idea, maybe.)
