Furnado Animal Shelter, Tuesday

[puppy_fair]

The vet on staff at the shelter today was despairing of Zack again. They'd gotten in a new shipment of cat supplies, and Zack had gravitated directly toward the catnip bubbles in particular.

It had been all of ten minutes before every cat in the shop area had been reduced to a crazed beast all hecked up on the 'nip, and the entire place was full of bubbles.

"You know you have other things you need to do today," the vet checked.

"You're right," Zack said, frowning for a moment. "I wonder where I can find one of those bubble machines..."

Today was going to be chaos.

Fandom Post Office, May 22 (Tuesday)

[filleauloup]

When Éponine came in this morning, there was a lemur on the counter. Just . . . a lemur, sitting there atop the register, blinking sleepily at her.

"You can't have my coffee," she said immediately, clutching said coffee and her bag of pastries protectively and glaring at the lemur, because she had priorities. "And you can't eat the mail and supplies, or run off the customers, but other than that do what you like."

The lemur just blinked at her again, and she started to go about her morning routine.

"Say!" she blurted out after a few minutes, when a thought occurred to her. "You aren't a person normally, are you?"

Again, the lemur said nothing.

". . . what the hell was I expecting, otherwise? Never mind."

And she went about her duties, paying the lemur no mind; it seemed inclined to behave, anyway, and random animals turning up was just the sort of thing one learned to take in stride. Besides, it was cute.

[[Subject to daytime SP but post office is open!]]

The Magic Box, Tuesday

[always_someone]

Norman was doing his best to learn what he could at work again today. Once everything had been dusted and the shelves were in order, once it looked like there wasn't anything left to do but stand behind the counter of a small town magic shop and bide away the hours, Norman found himself back in the books, deciding not to reach for any book that claimed to actually have magic knowledge inside unless he ran it by Jenkins first, mostly to check for authenticity. Or for safety reasons.

Instead, he found a book about humanity's reactions to the supernatural or the supernatural-seeming throughout American history, which in turn led to a few thorough re-readings about witch trials and vampire panics, which in turn led to Norman wondering if the Chilly Boulder did ice cream deliveries.

Because really, he probably could have picked a lighter topic to fall into. Maybe even one that didn't hit so close to home. But hell if he knew what kind of topic that would even be.

Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

Kitty finally got good news today, and she was in a ridiculously good mood about it. She even hugged Tino on the way in, and then promptly went into her office to change clothes and come back to the bar, because ew.

So, that's the kind of Kitty you were getting at the bar tonight. Be warned.


[Open, no OCD!]

Fast Eddie's, Tuesday Evening

[myownface]

Soooooo, apparently today was Sparkle's 21st birthday? Which was weird.

It was weird. And Sparkle hadn't really planned anything for it. He always found it easier to make a big deal out of other people's big days than his own. And anyway, what did 21 mean? He could use real identification to drink now? Where was the fun in that?

But he wanted to do something, so he sent off a handwavey text to anyone on his contact list just saying, Fast Eddie's tonight, the multiverse has had to deal with 21 years of me, suckers, and then hopped through a portal to Fandom Island to crash the arcade.

... No, he didn't have anything in mind beyond that. No real party or anything. Just, hey, come to the arcade. Waste some quarters. Maybe somebody would show up. It'd be great. And he was kind of grinning like an idiot as he showed up, since he'd made a stop at the apartment first.

Aww, Sia. Unsolicited presents were kind of great.

[OOC: I literally forgot about this until just before bedtime last night. OCD-free, daytime SP applies, hello, it's Sparkle's birthday, if you think you got an invite, or even if you didn't, feel free to crash in!]

Groovy Tunes, Tuesday

[tigerundercover]

Raven had skipped work the last couple of weeks in order to -- well, to go to work -- but the renovations on Quark's old place were almost done, and she'd kind of missed the music store, so she was here. The stereo seemed to have missed her, as it was playing inoffensive dad rock at her. Or maybe it was trying to be passive aggressive? Either way, she kind of dug it, so she gave it a fond pat while making her rounds with the duster.

She should probably at some point tell Jono she was quitting, though. Clearly she wasn't very focused on this job anymore. Maybe she'd leave a note? How much notice was traditional when you only ever showed up once a week, anyway?

[open!]

Luke's, Tuesday

[battlewithstyle]

Mitsutada had a fresh energy him today as he went about his kitchen duties, setting things to be ready for the customers. He was less flippant about the specials board today, but that didn't mean he was having any less fun.

Today's Specials
Chicken Katsu
Gyoza
Tamago

Just some fun Japanese dishes... though he was not vegan friendly today.

Luke's was open! and OCD-free
