Luke's, Monday

[vdistinctive]

"Are you goddamn kidding me?"

Someone had replaced all the vegetables in the pantry with varying types of gourds and squashes. Eliot had noticed.

The cook came over and peered over his shoulder -- not difficult, since he was at least half a foot taller than Eliot was. "Huh," he said with a shrug. "Pumpkin spice everything."

"Pumpkin spice is not a thing!" said Eliot. "Pumpkins do not have natural spices! Pumpkin spice is a marketing gimmick to sell bland, 'seasonal' foods!"

The kitchen staff stared at him.

"I like pumpkin spice," said the busboy.

Eliot hated this town.

Cafe Fina [Monday Afternoon]

Dormouse wanted to come to this Parent's Weekend thing the island was holding this weekend. Hatter had told her he'd think about it but he was leaning pretty heavily to the no side. He wasn't sure he wanted to bring Wonderland here and to give people hints as to who he was. They'd figure it out sooner or later but he preferred later.

At least Jack Chase hadn't wanted to come. That would have been a study in patience. Hatter was counting his lucky stars while he looked over some new tea flavors and did some inventory on the things he needed to order soon.

Caritas, Monday evening

You'd find Kenzi in the TV Room, watching all the new eps and new shows, and dragging herself out to serve drinks on the commercials.

You would find Tino behind the bar, glowering. Someone lost that coin toss.

Silly, silly Tino.

SPECIALS
TV Jell-O Shots! in the shape of little TV sets

Devil's Nest, Monday, 09/22

Somehow, Jack had allowed himself to be talked into helping with his college Jewish Student Union's Rosh Hashanah events. This mainly meant calling around to order apples in bulk and honey by the gallon, though he devoted a bit of time to coming up with his own new year's resolutions. (Visiting Emma more was high on the list. So was Being less suspicious,which he was rather less likely to accomplish.)

He spent much of the slow time during his shift on holiday plans, half listening to Tiny and the DJ as they gabbled about some new TV show about Ratman as a child. It sounded like a silly premise, which Jack suspected meant it would be incredibly successful.
