Luke's Diner, December 28 (Monday)

[laceycantlie.livejournal.com]

The Yule Log channel wasn't showing any more. Ordinarily Lacey would be sad about that, but Not This Year. Oh, no. This year, she'd gone back to Dog River for Christmas -- actually intending to go to Dog River, rather than ending up back in Dog River after a disastrous attempt to fly to Toronto that somehow took her from Saskatchewan to Nova Scotia to British Columbia and back by way of Every. Single. Province. Ever -- and gotten an iPod Touch from Brent and Hank as a Christmas gift.

And they'd preloaded it with the Yule Log app.

So here she was back in Fandom, and it was like having Christmas in her pocket year round, as long as she remembered to keep the battery charged.

It also meant the kitchen staff had a much easier time of it getting away with antics in the kitchen . . . which would explain the miniature marshmallow mountain range taking shape if you peered through the service window. Lacey didn't notice.

Today's Specials
Candied Yam Casserole With Marshmallows

Chinese Chicken Salad

Luke's is open, and that Yule Log is virtually crackling away. Yes, still. It'll be virtually warm to go with that marshmallow ski resort back there.

The Yule Log. The Yule Log.

. . . not that Lacey could ever, ever articulate why exactly that thing had fascinated her for her entire life. It just did, okay? Speaking of things Lacey couldn't articulate, her knowledge of United States geography was better than Hank or Brent's in that she could tell you that you couldn't drive from Las Vegas to Boston in a day, but it wasn't that great.

"Hypothermia, what? A little thing like that?" She waved a hand. "We just walk it off."

Just before he'd given her a ride to the airport (Lacey had issues with portals), Brent had taken time out to smartmouth at a tourist. It had looked like fun.

Dog River's idea of fun was . . . special.

"Funny, we do the same with sunburn."

"But there's all the horrible peeling and redness . . ."

Yes, because losing limbs to cold would be so much better, Lacey.

"As opposed to blue scary."

"We get very good at pulling off the color blue, thank you very much," Lacey said with whatever dignity she could muster.

"I can see that."
