...obviously, it gets weirder the more you go to the Roof Below.

the fbi was going through the craziest shit in the 90s like what the hell do you mean they needed to use an insanely dangerous cannibal for information to catch a serial killer who is murdering innocent families for his becoming of a god that is possessed by a dragon, then having to use him AGAIN to catch another serial killer who is murdering girls (including a senator’s daughter) to wear their skin as a suit while some other girl died under mysterious circumstances while other people are getting abducted by aliens and being terrorized by the paranormal while ALSO across the country, there’s a satanist who is possessing dolls and using a former nurse to kill more families???

This is a metal snail (Volcano Snail) that lives on underwater volcano vents in the Indian Ocean. Its shell and scaly feet both are armoured with layers of iron, making it the only animal to incorporate iron sulfide into its skeleton 🐌

The Roof Below, circa 1899 (the second) [Part 1]

So, I’m not sure if anyone reading this has done a cave tour? Like Carlsbad Caverns, Þríhnúkagígur volcano, Grotte di Frasassi, or Jenolan Caves. Or smaller ones like The Caverns in Tennessee, Fingal's Cave in Scotland, or even just a lava tube in Hawaii. But when you go to these places, they aim to make an impression from the outset.

These were my first tries at it & it feels like what you’d see on the first visit to the Roof Below. Some of these had blue water, some honey-coloured, and others it’s almost red. Some I almost disregarded until I remembered there is blue amber and the colours we’re more familiar with. I mean there is even “purple” & green. So I just rolled with it.

Plus, underground further than normal? Weirder mushrooms.

I just want a fic where Danny and Jason are just fucking laughing so hard they’re wheezing and bawling as they make death jokes while everyone else is SO uncomfortable

Like they’re full on cackling like Danny will say “We’re not allowed in certain rooms”

Jason will b like ‘what rooms’

Danny will say ‘living rooms’

And they both start dying (metaphorically) of laughter slapplin the counter crying while dick is trying real hard not to shatter the mug in his hands with a constipated expression that rivals Bruce’s a seat away from him (+bonus points if the joke is something that is on the verge of being utterly lame like a near science pun)

(I dunno if a lot of people will see this post but if you do please I’m begging you add a death joke guys please it would be so funny)
