Furnado Animal Shelter; Thursday [07/12].

[in_sidon_we_trust]

"Sidon, what are you doing?"

The vet came out to find that the prince had somehow managed to not only find a dozen little tiny white t-shirts, but he'd also managed to put them on several of the animals, some of which definitely did not seem too pleased about the whole thing. And that's when she also noticed the colored powder in his hands.

"I thought," he offered, smiling brilliantly for his truly spectacular idea, "that the animals themselves might like to have their own color run, right here at the shelter! It was terribly fun yesterday, and such a shame they would have to miss out. Look, I've even set up some obstacles."

"I'm...really not sure that's a good idea, your highness."

"Oh, don't worry, I'll clean up afterwards, I promise!"

And the vet opened her mouth to argue, saw those big yellow eyes imploring her, the giant fishman on the very verge of bouncing on his feet, sighed, and decided to take an extra long lunch right about now. After making a note to herself to suggest to Zack that maybe they consider moving Sidon to a day that wasn't directly following these...inspirational summer camp activies.

Furnado is open!

Trooper Station, Thursday

[firstofitskind]

"So... we have a problem," Calvin announced as Liam arrived at the station.

"What, actually?" Liam raised an eyebrow. Problems that required police intervention here on the island were few and far between.

"All the potholes have gone missing."

"All the..."

"Potholes," Calvin supplied helpfully.

"Potholes, right," Liam said, resisting the urge to facepalm. Instead he was just going to sigh and rub at the bridge of his nose. "How does something like that even go missing." Did he even want to know?

"Why do you think I said we have a problem?"

Okay then. Apparently today was going to involve investigating how potholes could go missing. Because Fandom.

T42 - Thursday

[hernando_fuentes]

Hernando had expected there would be more work necessary when he went to check out the building. He blinked, quite a lot, when he saw how it had changed overnight. Cups gleamed, pastries sat temptingly on the counter, and the chalkboard sign along the wall was populating itself with prices. Hernando watched for a moment as the curling cursive script spelled 'rooibos' incorrectly. "It's spelled r-o-o-i-b-o-s," he said helpfully, then blinked when the script reversed itself to correct.

The quokka seemed pleased by his reaction and went zooming around. He looked around. The walls had been hung with artwork, carefully lighted to show it to advantage.

Hernando went looking for an 'open' sign, and of course he found one. He also found a folding chalkboard sign, already printed, with:

GRAND OPENING SPECIALS:
Buy 4oz of tea, get 2oz free.
Raspberry Earl Grey available hot or iced.
Lavender Earl Grey available iced.
Mulled Rooibos available hot or iced.

Come on in, the water's fine!

He put the sign outside, where it would be visible to passers-by. He also noticed that umbrella tables had appeared. They had not been there when he entered the store. Smiling a little, he went back inside, curious to see what the day would bring.

[OOC: Open!]

Around the Island, Thursday Morning

[furnaceface]

Because of the summer heat over the past little while, Jono had refrained from going on his morning runs, mostly because there wasn't a whole hell of a lot he could do if he happened to overheat in the process. Sure, he was full of something not unlike flame, but the burn scars around the edges of it were testament enough to the fact that he wasn't actually heat-proof. And, while he had a water bottle with him, it was more for dumping cold water on the back of his neck than it was for drinking, for obvious reasons.

He'd managed to catch a good part of the morning today, and was taking an extra long run around the island to make up for lost time, spending extra laps navigating the stairs and heading to traverse the trails at the park whenever he needed something resembling a break. It still wasn't half as intense as his training in New York would've been, but at least it would get Jubes off his case if she asked him when the last time he'd done cardio (ha) was.

He'd never admit it, but he had kind of missed this.

And it was better than brooding, Iris.

Community Center Class: Modern Earth Entertainment

[2_old_for_this]

Peter waved at the people that showed up and directed them toward the snacks and drinks. If he looked a little uncomfortable today, the reason for that would be clear soon enough.

"So there are a lot of vampire legends, and books, and movies on Earth. One of the most iconic is called Dracula. I'm told this is a modern retelling of it."

And he'd promised Kanan an awful vampire movie.

He sighed and pressed play. "Enjoy, I guess."
