Turtle & Canary; Thursday [ 11/29 ]

As delicious and poisonfree as it had been, Turtle Wexler was determined to not let anymore more surprise cakes slip under her radar. Before opening the store, Turtle had re-angled the the security cameras to certain, helpful angles and fed the feed into her laptop so she could see all of them at once while at the counter.

Also, the "Help Wanted" sign had promptly been replaced with one that read "Now Hiring."

No one could ever accuse Turtle of never learning from her mistakes.

Today's Squishy flavors: Pumpernickel, Pony Cake, Grape Judas

Turtle & Canary is open!

She didn't need cameras to tell when Jeff was in the shop, really. The dashing and the loud "TURTLE!" tended to help quite enough in that regard.

"I brought sandwiches!" Pause. "...Are you watching me?"

He put the sandwiches on the counter-- meekly. "...You're a secret watcher?" Jeff asked, nervously.

"There was a secret cake?" Funny how all of these questions were coming out in the exact same tone of voice. "Did you eat it?" Jeff was serious, now.

"You ate the secret cake." Jeff, on the other hand, was entirely distracted from anything sandwich-related and leaning with all due worry on the counter. "Are you all right?"

"Are you sure?" Because what this shop needed was more paranoia. "It's a secret cake, Turtle," Jeff went on, unconsciously pushing the sandwiches further onto the counter, "Even if it's harmless, that means someone's done something wrong. People never give secret cakes for no reason."

"But what if it's something really awful?" Jeff had his own ideas about what 'really awful' entailed, but really, 'awful' was awful, one way or another.

"I don't know," Jeff offered, helplessly. He sagged a little on the counter, which meant the sandwiches had suddenly become an entity in his field of vision again. "Have you said anything weird to anyone lately? Has anyone said anything to you that's-- off? Looked in your general direction? 'Cos sometimes that's enough cause for secret cakes."

He was the king of paranoia.

"Are you really, absolutely sure?" he repeated, with a sense of urgency. "'Cos I'm sure there's somewhere you can hide."

He nodded. Just as slowly. "...Sandwiches?" Jeff offered, non-sequituring in tone as well as subject as he hopped straight back to 'enthusiastic'.

Jeff paused. "Is my head being round again?" he asked, worriedly. "'Cos I thought it stopped doing that when I hit my growth spurt last year."

"You said I was bipolar," Jeff explained. Helplessly. "...You said bipolar. Sorry, I thought you might've been referring to the ice caps." He laughed nervously. "Easy mistake. My head isn't round at all! It's sort of..." Pause. "...Oval."
