Turtle & Canary; Friday [08/24].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Here it was! Summer's very first day in her new store that she owned and would be running all by herself...

...not terrifying at all! Well, she had Apu, and that was a lot, because that man was kind of amazing, and she had Amaya with her that day, too, so that the other woman could sort of show her the ropes before officially handing over the torch. And even then, the island was tiny and she could tell that Amaya might have had a few misgiving about Summer jumping right into this with barely any experience at all, so she was glad she already had her in phone for jello emergencies.

In between customers, Amaya was showing her all the books, the ordering system, the stock room, explaining some of the less conventional methods of fixing some of the stuff that broken down every once in a while (honestly, considering Amaya's trade, Summer was expecting something a little more complex than 'just hit it a little'). It was stuff she might have usually found boring, but this was important. She was even taking notes. She was actually putting effort into this.

And then, of course, there was the question she'd been dying to ask all day. "So, then, I'll really get to pick the Squishy flavors every day?"

To which Amaya just laughed, dropping a hand on Summer's shoulder and giving it a conciliatory pat. "You can try, kid. You can sure try."

Groovy Tunes, Friday

[rebelseekspizza]

Last day at work. Last day on the island. After his shift, Dante'd be going home, packing some of his stuff, grabbing Anders and taking off.

Shit.

In an effort to afford thinking about it - to avoid getting last minute cold feet about a decision he knew was right for him - he put something loud and pounding on as background music and spent most of the day tinkering with the guitars.

Yep, nothing happening here.

[[ open! ]]

Pick Your Poison, Friday

[intraspective]

It had been some time since Sparkle had gone… a bit overboard on cleaning and she was in the mood to do something more physical than play with chemicals and formulae.

So Ino flipped on the radio to something bright, peppy, and Japanese, and hummed along as she cleaned. Soon the shop was filled with the scents of vanilla, lemon, and aloe as she worked, scrubbing and rearranging shelves, and leaving her feeling good and industrious.

Pick Your Poison is Open!

That Warehouse With The Lightsaber Burn On The Door, Friday

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan wasn't completely certain he was going to ever bother with the park again. The warehouse was more or less set up the way he needed it, he hadn't seen Seivarden in a month and so having the pets meet up to play wasn't exactly on the table, and there was that whole thing with Kaidan and trees these days on the off (off, off, off) chance the other man actually made his way out for sparring.

And so he'd sent a message to all the usual suspects to tell them where he could be found, and then he settled in to go over lightsaber forms. Nothing terribly, earth-shatteringly new. At the moment, he was running through them just as much to ground himself as he was for refresher, finding the solid, steady movements of his blade in his hand far more tangible, far more immediate than taking a seat on the floor and reaching out through the Force to observe life around the island.

He had a training remote on standby in case he needed a challenge at some point, but for now he was content to just go through the old, familiar motions for a while, maybe letting the tiniest bit of Caleb shine through as he went. Just for this.

Dite's Decadent Delights, Friday

[spin_kick_snap]

Like Dante at the music store, Kathy was also throwing herself into something completely unrelated to stop from thinking about the guys moving out tonight. Her distraction of choice was once again her stupid phone dress-up game--which had obliged her by going totally bananas. Now there was a war and you had to choose factions and creepy murder!doctor had set up a clinic on the battle lines and--wait, there was an assassin now?! How was she supposed to concentrate on collecting cherry blossoms for the newest outfits when she had to pick a faction and learn about the new invasion plans for the looming war?

Yeah, nothing of value was getting done today. Not here anyway. But in faraway Dressup Land? Kathy apparently had a war to fight.

With outfits.
