fandomhigh | RETURN OF THE SHENANIGANS, Wednesday

There was no Anakin for the usual Wednesday madness this week. Maybe because he was spending well earned time with his family. Maybe because he was tied up in a closet. Maybe because Deadpool was also now under the Disney MegaCorp umbrella and the monopoly of entertainment was well under way.

"That got kinda dark," Wade said, thinking it over. "Accurate, but dark. Anywho! I'm in charge, so there are gonna be a few changes that won't last past this week. But for this week, I'm a god."

Or something.

"It's maze time because that one hit movie that don't really remember. You know. Boy Katniss. But that's only because there's no Bowie here to make it a different movie. R.I.P."

It might have been the island (it was the island), it might have been Wade being very industrious last night, but there was now a mini laybrinth waiting for everyone to try out. Complete with moderately dangerous traps. No minotaur, though. They were hard to book.

"Now, I know Skywalker likes teams, but this shit? This is a free for all to the prize at the center."

Wade stared at them for a moment before making a shooing motion. "Go. C'mon. Get going. Shoo."

Honestly, at this point, at this school, it was a wonder people didn't do their laundry and somehow have it come out even more glittery than before, what with the years upon years of glitterwashes those machines had probably been through...

"Wait," said Prompto. "A fake...fish....on a plaque...that sings? Sort of??"

This was...giving him...a.....(No, Prompto! NO!)...great idea.

And Nina was always down for dubiously great ideas…

"Look, look!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Nina said, tugging on his arm so he was facing the right way to see the fish. And see Iris wheedling it off of Fjord. "There's the fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And Prompto would have looked even without the tugging, though the tugging definitely did set his focus in the right direction quicker, and it was...just about exactly what he'd pictured from Nina's description, which only meant his idea was even stronger now, utterly convinced that something needed to be done about this.

He bit his lip, as it was handed over to Iris, chewing on it thoughtfully.

"Hey, Nina?" he asked, throwing in the sort of crooked grin that he knew would likely get her effectively curious, though he supposed he really didn't need to throw that in there at all. "You think you can do a favor for me?"

Well, no, the grin wasn't needed but it was always rather nice when he turned that grin on her since she was… definitely not immune to it.

Getting over her crush was a work in progress, okay?

"Depends on what it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she said, giggling.

It really didn't depend on the favour. She was already down for whatever it was.

And that giggling was only going to make Prompto's smirk worse.

"I need you," he said, at least attempting to tamper it down enough to give these instructions the weight and gravitas that such an important and very, very serious mission required, and he sort of managed it, save for the grin, "to call up on the best of your super-slueth super-spy skills and find out exactly where we can find one of those things..."

He paused, for dramatic effect, especially since he had a pretty good feeling she was going to ask why he would ever want such an awful thing, and then, just to sort of make the clandestine nature of such a plot even more pronounced, he leaned in to inform her of just the thing he supsected she was wondering, "...it's gonna be Noct's birthday next month."

NEED HE SAY MORE??

And, oh but he was cruel to say such things to her delicate, maidenly heart, he really was. He needed her?

Nina was already going pink before he leaned in and told her why he needed—

"Ohmygosh," she breathed, reverently. "Amazing."

Poor, poor Noctis.

It wasn't that Prompto was cruel; it was simply that Prompto was...devistatingly oblivious.

And right now, he was nodding, very seriously, before he just couldn't take it anymore and he laughed. "I knew I could count on you to appreciate this...dare I say it? ....absolute stroke of brilliance on my part," he said.

And Nina didn't even know the half of Noctis' obsession with fishing, either. He would guess that she'd have known a little bit, because she was a sneaky little sneak with her nose in just about everyone's business, but there was no way she could possibly know just how bad it was.

And, really, 'he liked fishing' had gone right alongside her notes of 'he is a TOTAL SLOB' and then Nina hadn't looked further into that, since she was nosy as hell, but she was also nosy as hell with a mission and her assimilation of everything she could find out about Insomnia was only, really, the tip of that mission.

(Silly, Prompto, thinking her getting a library card was a whim.)

Just wait until she felt sure enough of her knowledge ~~and the mun played the game~~ for her to dare to set foot on Eos unescorted by well-meaning but cumbersome boys.

"It is a plan of sheer genius," she agreed, clapping her hands to her chest. "But, like, once we get it, how will we present it to him????????????"
