Turtle & Canary; Monday [01/28].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Mondays usually were Summer's productive days, the days she came in and got everything all organized and figured out after the weekend, did all the boring but important business stuff that actually made her feel like a boss. Which she was. But today had been a bit of an exception, as she found herself pretty much glued to her phone, leaning on the counter, falling deeper and deeper into a Twitter hole that had started innocently enough with a post about her cat, and wound up being way, way, way deep in the weeds of something that couldn't even reasonably seem tangentially related, but, boy, was it heated.

And Apu was off in the back stock room taking care of a shipment, so no one really noticed when the Squishy machine started beeping. And it kept beeping, increasingly insistent, as if trying to get Summer's attention. Which was a little difficult to get at the moment as her fingers were flying in a fury of some hard-hitting twitter smack downs. So when the beeping failed to garner a response, even after an increase of pace and volume, the Squishy machine seemed to take matters in its own hands and somehow managed to send a Squishy flying toward the counter in Summer's direction.

"What the hell?"

But it was too late now, Summer. The Squishy machine would be ignored no longer, and it had a whole arsenal of slushy liquid goodness to fling at you. Once the second one splashed onto her pretty much brand new and super cute white t-shirt and a third one was on its way, she had no choice but to duck behind the counter for protection. She tested the waters, poking her head up, only to have a Blue Raspberry lobbed at her like a grenade. Apu, emerging from the back, nearly got pelted with a Grape. This machine was clearly out for blood.

She quickly threw together a sign, sneaking and rolling across the floor to avoid being seen, so that she could at least put the sign in the window, grabbed a few snacks while she was over on that side of the store, and then made her death-defying journey back to the safety of the counter:

Trooper Station; Monday [01/28].

[died8yearsago]

One thing Rosa did enjoy about the trooper station here on the island was that it was at least spacious, or, at the very least, there were so few of them that she never felt too crowded or overwhelmed by people like she could be at the Nine-Nine.

Usually.

Today, apparently, the station seemed to be a little slow on the uptake on the whole everything-tiny thing and, though it seemed fine on the outside, Rosa opened the door to find all the walls seemed to have moved in, all the desks pushed together, with barely enough space for people to move between them, much be able to avoid each other.

"What the hell?"

Rosa did not approve of this, she did not approve of having to climb over other people's desks just to get to hers, she did not approve of the fact that the troopers seemed to forget how to move today, too, and that she almost had to climb over them to get anywhere, too.

She'd had to say excuse me more times that day than she had in her entire life.

Twice.

And she was pretty sure this was definitely a fire hazard.

....ooh, maybe if she did just start a fire...

Community Center Class: Modern Earth Entertainment, Monday

[2_old_for_this]

Peter waved and welcomed everyone in. The machine was behaving today, and he had made a point of getting a bunch of teriyaki skewers to go with the regular snacks. Hey, he couldn't disappoint Amaya's prophetic vision!

"Today is a movie starring some...people...that were throughout the world's entertainment for years and are still around. It's also got a lot of appearances by famous people in it, because a lot of people wanted to be involved in some way. It's a little different, but I hope you'll enjoy it. And yes, it's got some music in it, but give it a chance, okay?

He pushed play.

The Perk, Monday Morning

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante had crashed over here last night, mostly because some of Kathy's shit was still here and it needed a ride home with him. He'd head back to the apartment in half an hour or so, pick things up, and go home in time to help Kathy unwind from her first day in class.

But right now?

He was back on the island.

He needed... that massive strawberry and cream thing the Perk did.

So there he was. Ordered a double, even, so the strawberries and the whipped cream came up to such a height that they almost blocked out his face from view when he sat down. "I really need to find a good place that does strawberry stuff back home," he sighed.

Then dug in.

Fandom Post Office, January 29 (Tuesday)

[filleauloup]

Apparently it was going to be corn chips today.

That was what Éponine kept finding around the post office, in any case: letter trays full of them, handfuls spilling out of the mailboxes whenever they were opened, even a few taped to envelopes in lieu of postage.

She would be doing a lot of sweeping over the next few days, that was for certain, especially since the stuff was quite literally getting underfoot; for now, though, she just had to put up with it as best she could while stepping on as few chips as possible.

She did, however, take a few minutes while out on a delivery run to stop and buy herself a couple of jars of dip, because she'd be damned if she'd be eating this many chips without anything to put on them.

Well, the post office was open, anyway, even if it had to be navigated quite carefully.

[OOC: . . . yeah, I don't know. It's open, anyway!]
