Furnado Animal Shelter; Thursday, 01/25.

[in_sidon_we_trust]

Sidon was feeling a little introspective at work today, a little more placid as he went about his tasks of feeding and cleaning the animals, tidying up, this, that, and the other thing. He felt as though he'd had quite the roller coaster week: Lady Ghanima's class earlier that week had left him feeling quite morose and depressed and homesick, while Master Skywalker's yesterday had been a wonderful opportunity for him to just have fun and be silly, but also show that he really was good at talking with people, and wouldn't it just be grand if he could waltz up to Calamity Ganon and just talk him out of destroying the world?

He snorted a little as he sprinkled fish flakes into one of the tanks, licking a few off his fingers as he watched the beautiful shimmering scales ripple through the water, mouths gaping opens as they happily ate, then danced around the tank with energy and gratitude. And it was little moments like that that gave him a sort of serenity that he wanted to hold onto that day, wishing life could be that simple all the time, but, alas...

Furnado is open!

Trooper Station, Thursday

[firstofitskind]

On the bright side, it seemed like today might pass by without a phone call from either the Bee Lady OR Secret Tunnels Guy.

On the not-so-bright side, the day started with a gremlin hauling in another gremlin who appeared to have been hogtied.

"He's made a citizen's arrest," Calvin informed Liam dryly.

"...Why?"

The non-tied-up gremlin gurgled something in reply. Liam didn't exactly speak Gremlin, but the little guy did manage an indignant-sounding "No bitey," in English.

"I'm sorry," Liam said, "while I understand it does go against your cultural values, I can't put someone in jail for refusing to bite anyone."

"Bah!"

"You're going to have to let him go," Liam pointed out.

"Bah!" the arresting gremlin looked for a moment as if he were seriously considering biting someone, anyone in the station in retaliation for not arresting the non-bitey gremlin. But apparently gremlins did have decent higher reasoning skills, as he took in the fact that everyone in the station was armed. "Hrmph," he grumbled, and untied the other gremlin, before shoving it back out the door.

Covent Garden Flowers, Thursday

[okteiviakom]

Apparently, yet another unfamiliar holiday was creeping up. Octavia was starting to think people in this time and place somehow didn't have anything better to be doing than having holidays at every turn. Or maybe she was just jealous, somehow.

There were a lot of orders for arrangements, though. A lot.

She was going to be sick of roses by the time this day would be through. Red ones, in particular. Maybe when she'd get home she'd look up the significance.
