The streets of town- Wednesday morning

[throughaphase]

Kitty was having the hardest time waking up today, so on her way to work she stopped in at the Perk to avoid sleeping at her desk. No big deal. Then on her way out she saw the bird seed making a trail on the street.

Out of curiosity she followed it to what ended up being a pile of bird seed with a sign reading “FREE BIRD SEED” stuck out of it. And above it was against anvil, just waiting for someone to eat the bird seed.

Of course Kitty would not be doing that, for several reasons. But she was looking around for a hidden camera, because this was weird even for this place.

"Zounds!"

When Apu had called Amaya to let her know that the Squishy machine was acting up, she was hardly surprised. That thing was a big piece of junk that was nothing but a pain in her patootie. But what did surprise her was the manner in which it was acting up when she arrived at the store, which was unlike anything she had ever seen.

The thing was practically bouncing, moving up and down, getting squat and low, then stretching thin as it went toward the ceiling, all the while emitting the strangest sproingy-sproingy sound. A stream of Red Squishy was flowing endlessly (thankfully Apu had put down a bucket) from the nozzle, and red squiggly lines and yellow lightning bolts of energy were emitting from it into the air.

When she hit it with a hammer, the hammer boy-yo-yooooing'd back, then flew out of her hand and hit...something glass. All she heard was a crash, but there was no actual broken glass to be found. Then she tried to pry the casing open with her screwdriver...it flew open and released a shower of gears and springs, nuts and bolts...and a heavy piece of machinery that went flying across the store, straight into Apu's head.

Apu fell back into a pyramid of cereal (when had that even gotten there?), sending Cheerios and Froot Loops scattering while he sat there amongst the mess, head wavering back and forth with spirals for eyes and birds flying around his head.

"Apu!" Amaya rushed over, kneeling down beside him, waving the little birds away. "Are you okay?"

Shaking his head, the spirals disappeared and Apu held his aching noggin with a groan. "I am fine," he assured her after a distressed moment. "But I think today we'd best be careful around our machinery..."

The Perk, Wednesday Morning

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan was not nearly awake enough for this. He'd stumbled getting out of bed this morning, tripping over the dog and taking an uncoordinated header across the room. Which would have been bad enough, except for the Kanan-shaped hole that he'd left behind in the bedroom wall.

That had been... new.

He figured he hadn't had enough caffeine to get him through the day, and after a spill like that he didn't trust himself with the caf maker, so he set out to the Perk so that they could take care of it for him.

On the way, he'd barely avoided being run over by a train coming from a tunnel that had been painted on a brick wall, had been almost crushed by not one, but three falling pianos (thank the Force for... the Force), and had stepped in a puddle that three other people had walked through with no issue, only to find himself up to his chin in water.

"Today would be a good day to go terrorize the Empire instead of sticking around here," he muttered to the bemused barista before ordering something very caffeinated. He didn't care what, but he wasn't going to make it through the day without it. And then, wet boots squishing as he walked, he made his way to a seat near the window, where he sat back and eyed the town skeptically.

Just as he raised his cup to drink, a gremlin came flying to hit the window with a splat, and then slid down to fall on the ground outside, harmlessly.

The Preserve; Wednesday Afternoon [03/14].

[died8yearsago]

Rosa had received a strange call about an altercation in the preserve, something to do with a sign, so, figuring it had to do with those billboards, she sighed over the fact that this was her life now and went to check it out.

Turns out, it was in a completely different area of the preserve and had nothing to do with squirrels. Instead, Rosa would find two gremlins, one wearing bunny ears and holding a munched-on carrot, the other wearing a big yellow duck beak, bickering with each other over a sign nailed up to a tree between them.

"What the hell?"

The one dressed like a duck growled something, pulling off the sign that said "Duck Season," revealing one that read "Rabbit Season" instead. And the one dressed as a rabbit responded in kind, growling and yanking off the sign, switching it back to Duck Season.

Back and forth, back and forth, duck season, rabbit season, duck season, rabbit season, duck, rabbit, duck, rabbit, duck, rabbit--

"Enough!" Rosa couldn't take it any more, screamed out and pulled out her gun. "It's BOTH season!"

Then she pulled the trigger. She was just going for a warning shot at their feet; she wasn't going to actually shoot one of them...but she couldn't have anyway, because all that came out of her gun was a little flag that unflurled to reveal the word "BANG."

"What the hell??"

[[officially having too much fun with this. Open preserve is totally totally open]]

Fandom Island [dawn]

[heroic_jawline]

The first hint the gremlins had that something was amiss was when they spotted the radio squirrels racing through the trees. One ran out of branch and stood there for a solid minute, hovering in midair, only falling when he looked down.

It got weirder after that. Props appeared to make conversations more hilarious. Gremlins escaping via drawing tunnels on trees in paint. An alot accidentally ingesting a pill of "Acme Instant Girl" and becoming a curvaceous woman.

There was only one conclusion to come to: the gremlins had to immediate order All the Things from Acme and wreck havoc upon the island!

You know, as you do.

[OOC: Enjoy Looney Tunes Physics day! Careful of the gremlins!]
