Stark Industries, Friday

[era_two_triangle]

Peridot was still feeling weird about the results of yesterday's Ethics class, so she was spending her shift today attempting to make up for it the only way she knew how... by learning. Learning in as hands-on a manner as she possibly could. She'd found a book in the library about educational Earth experiments to try at home, and now she was testing Earth chemistry by mixing two fairly benign substances together in order to create a volatile reaction.

The results were interesting, if slightly disappointing. Peridot frowned a little and watched the mixture foam and bubble and spill out onto the floor, then looked at the container of sodium bicarbonate in one hand, and the food-grade fermented ethanol that she was holding in the other.

"See, JARVIS, I could have told them myself that this isn't how volcanoes work."

She'd probably even clean up after herself before her shift was through. Probably. Once she was finished explaining how volcanoes really did work to a somewhat exasperated AI who couldn't get a word in edgewise long enough to tell her that he already knew.

[OOC: Open! OCD-free!]

Book Haven, Friday

[studyingfear]

Perhaps it was because he was still mildly irritated by the seeming lack of purpose to yesterday's Ethic's class, but Rufus actually bothered to show up for work today, since it was one of a few things that he'd taken a step back for.

Not that it was a hard job, between keeping track of orders coming in and putting new books on the shelves, but he did it. He still disagreed that having a job at a school age counted as a negative thing, in any case.

And it gave him something to do while trying to figure out why the teachers had bothered reminding the poor and under-privileged that they were poor and under-privileged when they had no point for doing so and no intentions to use the anger generated as a goad for getting something done. As a casual cruelty it was needless; it wasn't like the poor and under-privileged didn't know what they were already.

It was just so sloppy, what they'd done.

Book Haven is Open.

Groovy Tunes, Friday

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante still had a ton of strawberry stuff left over from his JGoB's trip yesterday. So he put a chair up behind the desk, parked his ass on the chair, his feet on the counter, and the box within reach. The only thing that would've made it perfect would've been if the stereo hadn't insisted on playing chocolate-related songs all day.

Also, the little blue guys.

"Not for you!" he barked at one for about the fifth time, kicking the air in its general direction.

Caritas, Friday, Sept. 9

[living_endless]

Didi wasn't sure why the zombies were doing a Beatles medley today, but they were and she was at work and so she was stuck listening to it.

It turned out "Hey Jude" held up even if all the lyrics were replaced with the word brains.

[OOC: Open post, no OCD. Come drink and enjoy the zombies', uh, "talent."]

Rooftops of Fandom, Friday at Sunset

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

Jessica was getting a regular workout in, jumping around on the buildings in town late in the day. But as the sun went down, something started to change. She lost a couple inches of height. Her medium-length reddish hair got longer and browner. And the black costume with red jacket was replaced by a darker red with a big white spider emblem on it.

She reached the edge of a rooftop by the time the change was finished and just peered out at the town in front of her. "Huh. This... is not where I expected to be." At least this seemed like the kind of place SHIELD wouldn't be looking for someone.

[OOC: Open, if anyone's on the rooftops. And yes, Jessica bumped down like five years total to be pre-Fandom Jess. She's barely an adult to begin with.]
