Loft above Luke's, Friday evening

[vdistinctive]

"Well, the good news is, the freezer downstairs is still runnin'." Eliot shoved his hair off his face, still soggy from his trek over. He hadn't seen rain like that since -- well at least since they'd left Portland.
"So we don't have to worry about trying to get rid of a literal ton of spoiled turkey. Or angry polar bears. The bad news is it's a damn fusion reactor and it doesn't have any outlets on it that I could find, so we can't use it to power Hardison's toys." He shrugged and looked around the exceedingly dark loft, eerily lit only by the happily crackling fire in the magical fireplace and not by the dozens of monitors and screens that usually bathed the place in soft blue. "We can either camp out here, or truck it over to my place, which at least has more windows."

But would require going back out in the rain. Which was fine with Eliot, since he couldn't actually get any wetter, but probably wasn't going to be on Hardison's agenda any time soon.

[ooc: for the residents of the loft and the slowest of slowplays. Yay blackout!]

"A few days without internet ain't gonna kill ya. Or bring modern society to its knees." Eliot smirked faintly. "I promise."

"Man, who are you even talkin' to?" Hardison said. "I could bring modern society to its knees with the internet, c'mon! Chaos is probably gonna upload a virus to bring down the FBI an' you know who isn't there to stop him?"

Him, Eliot. Him.

"'Sides, you should also remember where we are when you say stuff like that."

"You mean the island full of wizards and super geniuses who could probably rebuild the internet if they need to?" Eliot said. "C'mon, man, just try to relax and enjoy the atmosphere for a minute."

"Yaaaay," Hardison said, waving his hands in the air. "Lovely atmosphere we got here, what with the cold rain, no lights, an' all."

That wasn't stopping him from putting his feet in Eliot's lap or anything.

Eliot idly started rubbing Hardison's foot. "Dim lighting, cozy fire, blackout keeping other responsibilities at bay. . . ."

"A'ight, you're puttin' a decent spin on it," Hardison said, grinning at Eliot. "I might be seein' a few benefits."

[vdistinctive]

"Yeah. Thought I might be able to talk you around."
