Then I'm offended you haven't shared them with me. [ pause. yikes. ] Fair point, they may as well be on the table. Uh, the four horsemen? Or chocobomen. Whatever. The rapture? Biblically, anyway. Nuclear fallout, supervolcanic eruption, mass flooding, massive asteroid impact...

Maybe when you're older. [Somehow that joke doesn't seem as funny but maybe that's because they're talking about the apocalypse.]
I don't even remember what the four horsemen are so you're one over on me. And you know I don't believe in the bible, but the rest of that...man, what are the chances we're going to be wiped out like dinosaurs and an asteroid just incinerates us?
[Luckily he doesn't get that far in his thoughts since their pizza seems to have arrived. Brb Annabeth.]
Because I'm so young. [ because sixteen is clearly so old?? ]
The Four Horsemen-- War, Famine, Pestilence, and... Death? I think? [ shrugs. annabeth isn't particularly bible-thumping either. she just Knows things. ] At this rate? It's possible. Though, actually, not all of the dinosaurs were just instantly incinerated. I mean, some were, and there were likely wildfires as well, but the asteroid impact would have also caused other catastrophes, according to the theory, such as tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. And of course, the sun was blocked out by debris in the atmosphere-- for months, maybe even years, making the earth's temperatures plummet and killing plants, thusly leaving herbivores with nothing to eat if they survived the other stuff...
[ is she following him to the door going on about asteroid impacts while he gets the pizza. does the poor pizza boy have to listen to this. or does he let her stand there talking to herself while he gets the pizza. which is worse. ]
[But she's definitely following him and the poor pizza boy looks incredibly alarmed? Luke ends up giving him a large tip though and shuts the door in his face before he can ask questions, herding Annabeth back to the kitchen even as he thinks that through.]
They all sound really friendly. [But he ends up rolling his eyes anyway.] We're talking about the end of the world and you're giving me a history lesson in how dinosaurs died? Come on. Let me pretend dinosaurs went out with a big bang and that might be the way we go out, too.
[He's joking, of course, but...the alternative is something worse, probably.]
[ that poor pizza boy. save the pizza. annabeth allows herself to be herded to the kitchen. she rolls her eyes at luke... rolling his eyes. they sure are from a middle grade/ya series ]
Fine, sure, we'll all die as the sun expands and engulfs us all as it becomes a gaping black hole. And it heralded by us hallucinating and horses becoming chocobos.
I know you're not, but I'm kind of freaking out, all right? Let me handle it the way I wanna handle it. [Unboxing the pizzaaaa gooo.] If the sun's expanding we could write the whole thing off as heat stroke and call it a day. That'd make sense for the hallucinations.
[He's also just grabbing a slice and not bothering with a plate because Luke's a savage.] Let's just focus on the board for now and worry about the apocalypse later. Deal?
Okay, fine. Freak out in your own way. I'm not sure heat stroke works that way, but sure. Why not.
[ unlike luke she's getting a plate? she's getting him a plate too, because what the hell you slob. ] Deal. But what if the board leads us to the apocalypse?
Don't use actual science on me when I'm freaking out. [He gives her a Look, but okay. He'll take the stupid plate and drop his half-eaten piece of pizza on it with another pointed glare.] If the board leads to the apocalypse...then at least we have a new and stupid network we can use to warn everybody else. That's 'bout as good as it's gonna get.
[ sticks her tongue out. don't you glare at her, mister. ] I guess so. Maybe we should see if everyone will invest in new emergency sirens just for apocalypses.
No one likes the sound of Chocobos. Kweh this, kweh that. [ that's. the sound chocobos make. ] I can multitask. Eat and figure things out. [ she almost talks with a mouthful of pizza but she has Manners. ]
Yeah well you shouldn't multitask. [Nice sound effects, Annabeth.] It's just going to drive us both crazy so...we have a plan of action with the board. But we can take a step back and go from there at a different angle.
[ she's tired it's been a long day she's already been driven crazy. ] ... Okay, you're right. I mean, I'm pretty sure we're already crazy now, but. Okay. We just have to assess and analyze and that will lead us... somewhere. Besides crazy.
Yes, this is exactly that part. [ him promising reminds her again of the weird hallucination and the promise he made in it, the one that they've sort of talked around the concerning parts of, the parts that sounded like they weren't really family. or hadn't been, at some point. ] Of course we will. We're Castellans, we're made of sturdy stuff.
That's the spirit. [They're fucked, aren't they.] C'mon. Finish eating and then you can help me figure out how much bigger of a board we're gonna need. [And from here we can probably call this a wrap.]
