Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

This whole pregnancy thing hadn't been so bad so far. Sometimes annoying, but nothing Kitty couldn't deal with. And then it decided to be stupidly hot, right around the time everything started swelling up, and she was just pretty miserable.

So the bar was an icebox today. The zombies were selling sweatshirts at the merch table if you wanted one. And Kitty was sitting in a chair behind the bar and she wasn't moving and she'd take your order and talk to you but Tino was making all your drinks tonight or he was fired.

Happy Tuesday!

Community Center Class: Eat your Heart Out!

[sharp_man]

"Good evening," Hannibal greeted everyone, smiling. "I am Doctor Hannibal Lecter. These evenings will be less of a class, and more of a challenge and an experience. The idea is this: you will each bring me something, and I will make a meal incorporating it all. Please keep in mind that you, not I, will be eating it. Also, if you bring me something inedible, I will use it as a part of a garnish or table decoration." He was possibly looking at a few of you there.

"I hope we will enjoy this time, however tonight is for introductions: please let me know who you are, why you are taking this, and if you have any allergies or aversions to food. Then when we are done with that, I have a number of cookbooks here," he put a hand on a substantial moddable pile, "and access to the internet. Please feel free to browse them all and let me know if you have any questions. And before you leave today, I can furnish vouchers for purchasing food should you like."

He nodded at the first person. "Please, introduce yourself."

Covent Garden Flowers; Tuesday [07/03].

[white_oleander]

Astrid had the sneaking suspicion that the inordinate amount of red, white, and blue plants in the store today had nothing to do with any of the other employees getting patriotic for the holiday tomorrow. She was almost certain that it was just the shop and the flowers doing it themselves.

Which was crazy.

So don't mind her as she ignored the plants that were literally starting to change colors before her eyes in favor of reading something slightly less insane.

Covent Garden is open!

The Magic Box, Tuesday

[always_someone]

So, this was life at the Magic Box without Jenkins.

Norman sighed as he walked in for his shift today. There was another shipment of new stock in, and he was going to have to check it over for dangerous items, label it, price it, and put it either out on the shelves or into a safe place in the back room just in case...

He pulled out the packing slip and squinted at it.

"One hundred percent sustainably sourced, non-GMO, cruelty-free monkey paws?" He squinted even more. "How does that even work?"

He got his answer when he opened the box and was immediately tackled by a dozen squirrel monkeys.

Oh.

[OOC: ... Idek. Open with work slowplay caveat!]

Furnado Animal Shelter, Tuesday

[puppy_fair]

This right here was probably why Zack wasn't allowed to just leave things alone and see what happened, back in his SOLDIER days. He'd come in to work and had done all of his duties pretty quickly down in the main area, so he'd headed up to the roof to check on the chickens.

Apparently, the egg that the toad had been sitting on had hatched. Zack had figured it out when almost every living thing inside the chicken coop, including the toad, appeared to be a stone statue. The one exception, of course, was the baby cockatrice that was having itself a snooze in the nest where it had been hatched.

Zack sighed and rummaged through his pockets for a few softs, and set to work restoring the chickens to their former feathery glory. What kind of good Gongaga boy would he be without a handful of those stashed away for an emergency, right? Once that was done and he was surrounded by cooing, scratching, pecking chickens again, he gathered up the baby monster chicken in one hand and the stone toad in the other, and then headed downstairs again with them both. The toad would probably make an okay paperweight - a good Gongaga boy also knew better than to trust a toad - and so long as it had plenty of mealworms and nothing startled it, the baby cockatrice was actually kind of snuggly.

... He'd anonymously have it shipped to a zoo on Gaia before the day was through. He didn't really have the heart to kill it.

The Holo-Scene, Tuesday

[tigerundercover]

The Holo-Scene's front counter was covered in tricornered hats. Raven hadn't actually ordered any tricornered hats, but hey, she wasn't one to pass up a decent theme when Fandom handed one to her! She had one pushed jauntily back from her face as she attempted to play "despacito" on a tin whistle. Shouts and occasional cannon fire could be heard from holosuite one.

Today's theme: revolution!
Practice overthrowing an unjust government, or just reenact your favorite musical
We're not here to judge

The Holo-Scene was open.

Luke's, Tuesday

[battlewithstyle]

Mitsutada was busy writing down plans for his class that started later in the week for him to write the specials board. So instead, the staff did it for him. And brought him tea. And then laughed whenever he stared at a list of the other Touken Danshi that would be visiting to help him, per the Saniwa's orders.

He made a very particular face when he looked at that list.

"Not even one other Dategumi?" he muttered to himself for the umpteenth time. The staff brought him a tiny cupcake in consolation.

Today's Specials
Okonomiyaki
Gyoza
Pork and Apple Pieorgi

Luke's was open and OCD free.
