The Arms Hotel Lobby, Tuesday

With the latest crisis in Las Vegas more or less settled, Mary was free to return to Fandom this morning. After the intense desert heat, she was happy to find that the island had moved somewhere a little cooler. Though, as she told Gunther, it was a little disappointing to realize she no longer could tolerate a Las Vegas summer.

Who has set up the front desk so that a fan is blowing on her while she drinks iced tea.

"Hi, Mary," Quinn said as she walked up to the front desk in hopes of getting her job back. "How's summer business so far?"

"Hi Quinn. It's been a little slow so far, but I'm hoping it will pick up," said Mary. "I can imagine that it's a little tougher for the tourists to book their trips to Fandom in advance when they're not sure where the island will be when they arrive."

"Maybe? I got here okay just by going to the normal causeway, but maybe the island knew to expect me," Quinn said, shrugging. "I mean, if it can move, it can do that, right?"

This was so bizarre.

"I've always felt that the island has a mind of its own and decides who is allowed to leave and return. I've been cut off from being able to leave before," said Mary with a sigh. "At least we haven't had to put up with Vikings again. Some of them seemed downright creepy, and there was one that kept trying to hang out in the lobby."

"And they smelled bad," Quinn added, wrinkling her nose in disgust. "And it was cold. I didn't even mind having to go back to Ohio for a couple months."

"How was your trip home? Did you enjoy it?" asked Mary.

"It was fine," Quinn said. She liked Mary fine, it was just a little weird to go into family drama with an adult who also happened to be her boss. "Just had to take care of a few things. But I was wondering, what days do you have open if I wanted to get a shift back?"

"Pick any day you'd like," said Mary. "Gunther seems to have scared off the last round of applicants, so the schedule is completely open."

"You just have to know how to handle Gunther," Quinn said, with some contempt for those who couldn't. "How's Wednesday? That's my day without classes."

"That would work perfectly," said Mary. "It will be good to have you back."

"It's good to be back, so that works," Quinn smiled.

Gunther doesn't have a fan. He doesn't need one when there's a big freezer in the kitchen.

This post would have been up an hour ago if I hadn't dozed off.
