Stark Industries, Wednesday

Back to routine. This was good. Plenty to keep Jessica's mind occupied for a little bit.

And with all of the choices available to her, she was passing time between customers by playing Angry Birds. It was actually more therapeutic than you might think, because those birds were really very angry.

Stark's was open!

Magic Box [10/24]

Shira was busy cleaning the shop. It wasn't messy, but when she had nothing else to do, she cleaned. It was either that or write yet another letter home that left out half of the Fandom shenanigans in the name of sparing Ranon's brain. She figured she'd send that letter after the next fiasco to happen.

So she was sweeping and dusting and cleaning windows and doing whatever else she could come up with in order to tidy the place up.

This was what slow days did to her, people.

Darling Party!, The Park, Wednesday Evening

[stars_and_money]

The Darling twins were turning eighteen today, and thus crossing the threshold into legal adulthood. While that may have been a terrifying thought to some, it also meant that there was going to be a huge freaking party because they were Darlings and no special occasion could get past them without a huge deal being made out of it. So after sundown on this Wednesday evening, there was a huge banner set up in a corner of the park:

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY, JULIET & JEREMY!
And underneath the banner were party tents set up with outdoor heaters and lights, for comfort and atmosphere. There were tables decked with food (including a huge, ridiculous cake) and drink (you were going to have to be an adult or filthy rich to get anything alcoholic, though), of course, and there was and music, and even a karaoke set-up should the mood strike anyone to sing.

It all looked like someone had paid a whole lot of money to make it all happen, and that was before you took in the table with the gift bags. No, not for the twins, though there was a table for any gifts people might bring them as well. No, these gift bags were for the guests. Yes, you were getting gifts just out of attending someone else's birthday party. That was how they rolled – and it was possible Letitia had realized the twins weren't perfectly integrated into the island community. The Darlings weren't above bribery and gaining people's affections with expensive trinkets.

The park was ready for a good time to be had by all! (And since invitation emails had gone out to the entire population of the island as well as few alumni... that really did mean all.)

The Devil's Nest, Wednesday Evening

[justlurkinghere]

For a second week in a row, the music was perfectly normal. Completely and utterly normal.

No, Derek was not trusting this for a single second. He was watching the DJ extra because this did not make any sense. Clearly whatever was in the works would involve Derek's slow descent into madness.

Starting about now.

Just ignore the mildly unhinged bartender!
