Luke's, Monday

[vdistinctive]

Luke's was slowly edging towards looking like an actual place of business again, putting Eliot in a far better mood than he'd been this time last week. They even had enough of it put back together to open in a limited way for actual customers -- so long as said customers didn't mind a general lack of air conditioning.

They did have fans? And the busboy was doing a decent job of keeping up with replacing the bowls of ice in front of each one. So that was almost the same thing. . . .

Now, if Eliot could just get the kitchen staff to shut up about whether ayurvedic medicine and "cooling foods" were a thing, he might even have a halfway decent day. . . .

Luke's was open and OCD free.

Devil's Nest, Monday

"No, Tiny," Verity said sternly. "I don't care how good you are at healing. You're not going outside during the eclipse, even though it'll be dark. It's not going to be that dark. We're, like, three hundred miles north of the 'cone of totality.'" She wasn't entirely sure why she had to explain this. Again.

Probably so she didn't get stuck sweeping up the ashes of her ex-coworker.

"And no, a pair of shot glasses taped together don't count as 'eclipse glasses,'" she added. "How the hell did you live this long, exactly?"

The bar was open, shark-free, with an exasperated bartender.
