Turtle & Canary; Saturday [07/21].

[special_rabbit]

Amaya wasted no time getting to the shop after she'd received the message from Apu that her shipment from her Tanalore contact had arrived that morning. Not only to scope out the materials she'd ordered for Kanan's sword, but also the nice tea from her world that she'd gotten for Seivarden. Even if perhaps she wouldn't have such a hard time procuring it these days as she did a few weeks ago.

There was just one problem.

"BEEEEES!"

As soon as Amaya had opened the box, a flurry of bees came streaming out, all worked up and shaken around from shipping. She should have known there was something suspicious about the faint droning buzz that seemed to be coming from inside the container! She and Apu had just enough time to duck behind the counter as they started to fill the store; it was astonishing, really, how many bees could fit into one moderately sized vessel.

"Teas!" Amaya grumbled. "I said teas! How do you mess that up? In a written letter?"

Still, with a little netting and a sign, she was hardly going to let some unexpected insects ruin her business day.

Covent Garden Flowers, Saturday

[1000yearstoolate]

As if the shop compensated for last week, when Seivarden had been pleased to discover it full of tea plants, it was now boring. Not for any particular reason, just that the flowers seemed duller than usual, the light through the window was grey and depressing and the air was a bit stale. It was subtle, and at first Seivarden wasn't sure if it was just her own mood, but then the background music started playing, slow, monotone and... boring. Today was probably not a good day to go shopping for flowers.

[Open!]

Dite's Decadent Delights, Saturday

[raspberryturk]

It took Reno a few moments after he'd stepped in to Dite's today to figure out what had changed about the place since the last time he'd been in. Everything had apparently changed colors, either over the week or overnight, he didn't know or particularly care, to hues of yellow, white, purple, or black.

He shrugged and got on with his day. A dildo was still a dildo no matter what color it was. And the purple chocolate dick pops were just hilarious.

[OOC: Don't mind me getting my Pride all up in this post. I'm headed to the parade today to get rained on, so SP is likely until the evening!]

Luke's Diner, Saturday

[what_the_shock]

When Miguel arrived at the diner today, there was a shimmering rainbow stretching from one side of the diner to the other. He squinted at it and gave the cook a questioning look. The cook shrugged. Miguel sighed and went to make his coffee.

Which turned rainbow colors as soon as it was out of the pot. Apparently this was going to be a thing today.

All the food is rainbow-colored; don't worry, it tastes fine!

The Preserve - Saturday

[spectre_alenko]

Kaidan still had misgivings about this whole sparring thing, but he'd agreed and there was no real good way to wriggle out of it. He had a half-hope that Kanan wouldn't show, but - he knew better. So Kaidan had thrown on his guard and some loose clothing, loaded some protective gear into a duffel and headed to the preserve.

A teal deer wandered by, incurious about the human and his bag of stuff. Kaidan snapped a picture of it and texted it to Kanan. "Aw look, it matches your eyes."

Then, to burn off nerves, he began doing a warm up set of stretches.

[OOC: expecting 1, open to others if you have reason to wander by. Kanan's thread to be chrono last.]

Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center, Saturday Evening

[dubstepthanos]

There was, for a brief moment, a flash of light, on the street just outside Wellspring Arms.

Then it faded.

What remained was a man - not a tall man, but still an intimidating man - wearing battle gear, an infinity scarf, a metal arm, and a remarkably neutral facial expression for someone with a jaw as strong as his. "No, I didn't," he muttered to himself, for reasons that did not seem immediately obvious.

He held the metal arm up in front of the door. The door made a noise, a zooming, trembling sort of noise. Then it parted, allowing the man in.

...

...

And then Cable stopped, right on the treshold, and stared into the mess that was the disused shop.

"What the shit."


[[ open for sp, yep, info post to follow! ]]

Caritas, Saturday Evening

[newroutines]

All the zombie band were playing tonight seemed to be film scores. Not that Mike actually recognized any of the tunes - it was just what they sounded like. Like maybe they were from epic superhero movies or something.

Because the zombie drummer also appeared to be wearing a cape.

Mike had no idea what any of that was about. He was just... trying his best to focus on his work and ignore all other distractions. Whether band-related or, sigh, his own personal shit.

Caritas was open.
