Zone words! A guide for Danger Days: The The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys Writers

Summary:

All your unique killjoy vocab!

All credit goes to several tumblr users (one of the most used being) killjoys-and-desertkids and I totally recommend you say thank you and check out their stuff if you run a Danger Days aesthetic blog!

Chapter Text

Lord's Drink: a floral, steamy blend of milk and honey, perfect for those brisk zone winters!

Puppy: The youngest member of a gang, often one you have to look out for. Kind of a 'kid sibling' type of relationship.

Un-aide: A killjoy who doesn't belong to a gang or whose gang has been ghosted.

Paper boy: Someone who travels up and down the Zones collecting news, gossip and reporting deaths. This is a job position that radio stations offer for a few carbons an hour.

Witch's Garden: a large expanse of land in zone 3 where many wild desert plants grow.

Royal: used to describe something high end or fancy, most commonly drugs.

Sun Sandbox: a place in zone 5 where so much glitter has been mixed into the sand that they are basically one and the same.

String King: used to describe someone who plays guitar extremely well.

Acoustic: someone who chooses to us an old-fashioned gun as supposed to a laser one. the most common reason for this is because they want as little dissociation with bli as possible, this includes their technology.

Sand pup: someone who was born in the zones or has been there since childhood.

Battery Acid: a killjoy term for city drugs that have been smuggled out to the zones

Squeaky: Someone who isn't on better life industries radar, mostly neutrals or joys who have yet to commit a crime against battery city.

Solitary Host: a quick fuck or one night stand.
