Fandom Post Office, May 19 (Tuesday)

If there was a good explanation for the individual ketchup-packet sized samples of maple syrup, some kind of free promotion, that were getting sorted into everyone's mail today, Éponine had no idea what it was.

She was absolutely going to hoard every single one that was addressed to someone who no longer lived here, though.

The NOW HIRING sign was still up in the window (or maybe it was a new one? Either way there was a sign there), and now she was considering going out and getting pancakes for lunch.

[OOC: Open, OCD-free. Feel free to mod getting a little foil packet of maple syrup with your mail if you want to. Yes, I really want pancakes right now.]

Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

Last week had been a downer, because when your version of your boyfriend died horribly back home, it tended to make you think about things you didn't want to think about. This week, however, Kitty had had a great weekend that gave her things she totally wanted to think about. Including a second kid! Which was one of those things that she'd hoped for but never said out loud because there wasn't any guarantee any of this would happen but it still made her really happy. Sometimes Fandom came through. It was rare, but it did happen.

So the music was upbeat, the bartender was in a good mood, and she was happy to talk to you whether you would join her in that good mood or not.

After Monday's nightmare, Hardison had been glad for a decent night's sleep last night. Usually when he went on a nightmare bender, they tended to last a few days, but that didn't seem to be the case here. Maybe it was because the triggering incident had happened to somebody else. Maybe they were just losing their hold on him--he hadn't found himself idly calculating how many cubic feet of air were in the room and how long that would last him if he got trapped.

Maybe having Eliot to talk him down while Parker held onto him had been exactly what he needed. Who knows?

Either way, he wasn't going to question the why's and how's too closely. Having only one night of nightmares was just something he was happy to accept on principle. Besides, he had a new side project to look into: making a video game. Apparently he (with some, you know, minor assistance from Eliot) had made a super-popular video game to improve health and nutrition. It had been enough to keep him in shape in this nebulous future which might also include a kidnapping calendar. So he was just going to order himself lunch off the Special's Board and start researching everything he could on how to make a triple-A quality game.

Today's Specials
Ema Datshi
Fish and Mandarin Orange Curry
Bhutanese Red Rice

Apparently the dishwasher's future involved backpacking through Bhutan and the kitchen had tried to recreate the cuisine here. Okay then.

Warehouse District, Tuesday Afternoon

After the exhilaration of learning how to ride a bike in class today, Kathy was only too excited to learn another sport that allowed her to go even faster. So when Ringo let her know that her ATs were done, Kathy leapt at the opportunity to experiment with those, too. Finding new equipment that would let her go one and a half times her normal speed? How was she supposed to say no to that?!

When they'd first talked about ATs, Ringo had said she'd found some buildings towards the south of the island that had looked like a good place to practice. That seemed like as good a place as any to meet up and teach Kathy to 'ride the Sonia road.' Oh man, just imagine what she could do with these things in Baltimore!

[Kathy's here for one, but the post is entirely open!]

Stark Industries, Tuesday

Everything had been inventoried and ordered and equipment was starting to arrive. It was time to start building a damn interdimensional portal with the capability of tracking her homeworld since Portalocity was having such trouble doing it. So don't mind Jessica if you only heard noises coming from the back of the shop today. There was a bell to ring if you needed any help. Unless you did, she was going to be busy making a small portal device similar to what she was using weeks ago.

[OOC: Late, but open!]
