I thought this might be a fun idea for a game! Imagine you're stuck in an escape room, click this wheel to figure out who you're stuck in there with to solve it and escape! Feel free to explain how you think it would go in the comments/reblogs.
How easily are you getting out of the escape room?
We're getting out no problem and we'll have fun with it
Could take some time but we'll get out
We'll get out eventually but it won't be a fun time
We'll spend more time arguing than solving the escape room
We're totally screwed
Other (elaborate in the comments)
Remaining time: 4 days 18 hours
I got Roy Keene, and I'm pretty sure we'd get out eventually but I don't think it would be a fun time. I have a feeling Roy would just do whatever I tell him to do and apologize the entire time, which would be more annoying than helpful in this case lol.
Jackie is a necessary presence at all of Hyde’s family gatherings and work functions. Jackie does the rounds and boasts about her boyfriend with a smile on her face. Hyde holds on to her with one arm/hand (around her shoulders or waist) with a glass of alcohol in the other. W.B. and Angie both think she’s good for Hyde. They know he’s infinitely moodier without her and that she gives him the kick in the ass he needs. She makes Hyde happy and she’s the social butterfly and does all the talking when he’s just not feeling it. He’s actually amazed that Jackie can go hours and hours of socializing without slowing down. Even on the drives back home, she’s happily recounting the events of the evening while Hyde just wants to sleep. At Barnett family meals, she’s glued to Hyde’s side and is genuinely interested in learning all about his extended family. Hyde is pretty self-deprecating but Jackie is his champion.
This is a little late, but it's still Wednesday where I'm at and I'm still posting a blurb for 'Love, Wisconsin Style'. A little bit of an exploration of the stress Hyde's under looking for a wayward Leo -- along with Jackie's attempted help.
'Flowers in Her Hair' will update later this week -- hope y'all enjoy it, as well as this blurb!

“Steven, you need to calm down,” Jackie said, as she trailed behind him. They were in the back alley behind The Hub looking for Leo, but not finding him.
“I am calm,” he said, decidedly un-Zen, before peering around a dumpster to see if Leo had accidentally decided to take a nap in yet another unsafe spot. After Fez had backed into him last year when Leo had fallen asleep in The Fotohut parking lot one couldn’t be too sure.
“Really? Because you don’t seem calm.”
Normally her presence would’ve been helpful, but her nagging him about being calm or not calm was starting to grate on his nerves. “Jackie, if you’re bored or whatever, then just say so and I’ll take you back home.”
Home as in his home, since she didn’t have much of a home to go to. Although, he supposed, with her basically living with him, it was more like ‘their home’ even if it wasn’t their home. It should’ve felt weirder for him to think of them living together in such a way, but it felt comfortable…cozy, even. Pondering it was too distracting and he needed to focus on the task at hand: finding Leo.
“Steven, don’t be like that!” Jackie said, folding her arms across her chest. “I’m not bored, I’m just worried about you.”
“Well, sorry, but tellin’ me to calm down isn’t very helpful, Jackie,” he replied, no less curt than before. “You can either stay and help, or I take you home—your choice.”
“Fine,” she said with a huff, before her heels clicked against the pavement, taking her deeper into the alley. He slapped the lid of the dumpster and stood up straight, opening his mouth to shout for her to come back—but then he saw her with her hands cupping around her mouth. “Leo!” She started to shout at the top of her lungs. “Leo, are you back here?”
She had quite the pair of lungs on her as a cheerleader, and her voice carried pretty easily down the narrow corridor of the alleyway. He suspected Leo was partially deaf from age and the loud music he listened to, but he’d have to be dead or in a coma not to hear Jackie screaming his name. She repeated herself several more times, and then Frank came out through the back exit of The Hub.
“What the hell is all this racket back here?!”
“Sorry, Frank,” Hyde lifted his hand in a slight wave. “We’re just lookin’ for Leo. You seen him around?”
Frank glared in Jackie’s direction. “No, not since last week—now quit makin’ all that noise! You’re louder than a goddamn air raid siren, and I’d like to be able to take my lunch break in peace.”
“All right—” Hyde started to say, but Frank slammed the door shut.
“The nerve of him! My dulcet voice is pleasant at any volume!” Jackie snapped as she walked back up to him. “Right, Steven?”
“Huh?” He asked, before grinning and wiggling his pinky in his ear. “Couldn’t hear you over the ringing in my ears.”
She pursed her lips in annoyance, tilting her head to the side slightly. “Steven! If you don’t take that back right now, I’m going to talk non-stop for the rest of the day!”
