The Causeway, Monday Morning

[lockestheway]

It was a decent fall day, not too cold and, for the moment, not too wet either. Those Fandomites headed for Canada met up on the causeway, where soon they'd be taking their Portalocity jaunt to Newfoundland. With any luck, they wouldn't have too many strange connections, either.

But that was a thing for very soon, and gathering up - large piles of luggage and all - was for now. Those leaving had been warned to take work clothes as well as vacation clothes. And to pack warm, of course: this wasn't Hawaii they were headed to this time.

Dite's Decadent Delights, Monday

[glacial_queen]

Mini-Morton had been built to be a help to Karla. As far as he (or his circuits, or programming, or whatever) was concerned, that did not mean that he'd been built to be left behind to open the store for Karla as she flitted off on one great adventure or the next. But that was exactly what she'd done; after packing for the school trip, she'd picked him up and headed for the Causeway--before dropping him off at the door to 'Dite's with a chirped, "Keep an eye on the store for me, okay?"

Not that Mini-Morton was feeling resentful or disappointed. That was absurd. He was a droid. They didn't have emotions like that. He was simply...not performing his most basic function and that reacted badly with his programming. Yes.

And now, talking to Little Strife the cash register, he most certainly wasn't engaging in any kind of petty or spiteful behavior. Absurd! It's just that sales were down and Mini-Morton--being the concerned droid he was--had decided to take some steps to maybe spark some interest in the store. Because he was helpful that way.

So, anyone who came into the store today and made a purchase would be getting 75% off their total. Wouldn't that be exciting? And Mini-Morton was hooking up to the store's wireless connection to see if he could maybe make a few other eye-popping changes around the store before Karla got back.

You're welcome.
