up all night to get denny's

[gameofsocks]

It's late. Like, 3 AM late. You're hungry as fuck, but nothing is open.





Except Denny's.

RULES

1. Post to the meme.
2. Find somebody to eat with. Figure out why the hell you'd do this to yourself.
3. $2! $4! $6! $8! What do we appreciate? Bacon!

[ why is she here ]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[strikecommand]

[Why is anyone here, really? Why is anyone ever at Dennys? Because it's 3am and they're post-mission and there was a mighty need for pancakes, that's why.

What they should be doing is heading back to base for medical attention--nothing too bad, just a few bumps and bruises, but somewhere along the way this became a better idea. Jack's idea, of course, because who else would be like 'hey, pull over, I think we should stop at Denny's'. He's currently shoving an ungodly amount of hash browns into his face, stopping only periodically for coffee or words or both.]

One day I'll take you to Waffle House.

[There is still Waffle House in 2040-something, apparently, and Jack thinks it's a good idea to take Ana there. Doesn't that sound

great.]

already i am dyin

[nanaboost]

[ jack pls.

pancakes are all fine and good, and she even takes the blueberry pancake order, but she brings a first aid kit to patch up those bumps and bruises still while they take a small detour. it's just white bandages she wraps around and presses flat against his arm before setting it aside.

ana also requests for the "Ruby Red Grapefruit - Large" order. ]

How much better is it than this place?

[ don't worry, she's amused and smiles. ]

i went and made sure there are actually waffle houses in indiana before i wrote that

[Ana is eating the most Ana breakfast that Jack can possibly think of. This is so typical.]

Worse, but in a good way.

[Because that makes sense, thanks Jack. He's doing that thing where he's pushed all the food into one of his cheeks so he can carry on this conversation and pretend like he isn't talking with his mouth full. Probably he's just excited about sharing this Incredible American Experience with his very good friend. So excited that he barely even acknowledges the fact that she's trying to stick bandages on him.]

And you have to be drunk, but it's something everyone should do at least once.

[Jack has just barely passed thirty and has traveled most of the world under the pretense of literally saving it from giant killer robots, but it seems he is still a bit of a hick. He punctuates that Very Important Fact with a little point of his fork in her direction, before he abandons it entirely and starts mopping up egg yolk with a piece of toast.

Which he's gonna cram in there too. Just. Give him a second.]

[nanaboost]

[ jack's explanation... it makes ana's lips purse together for exactly four seconds while a short rumble from her throat fills in the silence. a laugh immediately cuts in as she raises a hand to slap his shoulder in a most friendly gesture, though it may be not quite friendly to some of his bruises she just tended to.

she leans forward just slightly, her head still facing him. ]

Worse, but in a good way. [ she repeats in her own tongue, hands finally moving to cut up her own meal. ] And drunk. Now that sounds like an experience, I have to say.

[ and now, a thought: ]

And I've never been to Indiana before. Would you recommend it to be a good place to have my leave?

[strikecommand]

[He looks at her expectantly, eyebrows raised and face full of toast, as if he's sure she's going to deride the suggestion. Ana doesn't do that exactly, but of course there is always the nagging thought that she might just be humoring him. He chews thoughtfully for a moment, as if deciding whether or not that's the case, and finally swallows hard.]

Don't come to Indiana.

[Jack says that definitively into his coffee.]

There's nothing there.

[He doesn't sound too terribly ill-natured about it, at least, but the implication is that there's a reason why he left.]
