[ID: A series of snippets of a google doc in dark mode.
After much hesitation involving pacing his room and making jokingly threatening faces and gestures at the screen and quoting vines at it to calm his nerves, he finally pressed the apply button with a yelp.
Two hours and one dramatic reading of some awful werewolf fiction later,
He was surprised. He was delighted. He was very likely fucked.
Danny looked up at him guiltily with the bucket of popcorn resting on his stomach. ".... I have good news and bad news."
Tim's face fell as he straightened up. "What have you done?"
"Good news and arguably bad news, depending on your personal thoughts on it," he elaborated, standing up, still holding his popcorn.
"I repeat," Tim said, pressing his palms together and pointing at him, "what have you done?"
"Either way, I can't imagine the whole staff is wearing corsets and hoop skirts."
".... That'd be pretty cool though."
"It would be, actually."
A resting bitch face is all it was, that's alright. He lived with a guy with a resting bitch face, this was fine.
Danny thought for a moment. "I.... have a background in urban exploration. Would that be useful?"
Jon and Sasha looked at each other, and then looked at him.
"That would be very useful," Jon said, with an air of curiosity to his tone.
"Very, very useful," Sasha added, grinning mischievously.
"Hey, he's my partner now," Jon said, jabbing a finger at her. "I get to go out in the field with him first."
"Sounds like I didn't die in Artefact Storage," Sasha replied.
"I'm an adult," Danny said, sipping from his novelty beehive mug.
Next thing he knew his back was hurting and he was upside down on the floor
".... Danny, did you-"
"I might've gotten some light carbon monoxide poisoning in the attic."
"Danny!" Tim sat upright, setting his mug down.
"Then, I repeat, fuck 'em."
"You all deserve it~" Danny said, blending his natural nerves into the false face of a fidgety fanatic.
"Yeah.... " Danny says, forever changed.
Danny tried to dream up as much mental eyebleach as possible. Kitty cats and puppy doges and bees half stuck in flowers, kitty cats and puppy dogs and bees half stuck in flowers. This was going to be fun to tell Tim about tonight.
