Trooper Station; Monday [02/04].

[died8yearsago]

Rosa had been up in New York for the weekend, which always put her a little on a suspicious edge when she got back to work, especially when she came in to find everything seeming normal and steady and functioning as usual. There was just something fishy about it, especially when the troopers were so casual and dismissive about it when she asked if she'd missed anything particularly stupid over the weekend. There was a pretty stupid holiday on Saturday, after all, there's no way something completely dumb hadn't happened.

But fine. They could pretend like nothing happened all they wanted. They seemed to forget that it was Rosa's job to figure things out.

And that she also had radio reports and security footage.

"I knew you were lying!" Rosa smacked a victorious fist on her desk and turned her computer monitor around to show the irrefutable evidence of who she assumed was Ralph and Calvin milling around on top of their respective desks as groundhogs on Saturday. And she turned the monitor back toward her just in time to watch one of them...she couldn't even tell them apart half the time normally, much less when they were large rodents...took a tumble off the edge of the desk and she snorted, then shook her head. "Too bad you didn't stay that way; would have been a big improvement."

Turtle & Canary; Monday [02/04].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer had thought of doing something thematic for her jello in respect to Apu's recent tour as a groundhog over the weekend, but, really, just constantly bringing it up was kind of cheap and really just driving the concept into the ground ad nauseam. So she decided not to even mention it, to go about her usual Monday tasks and get her ordering and everything all taken care of, and settled for a jello creation that was a little more normal.

Well. "Normal."

That word didn't exactly have a whole lot of meaning around here, anyway.

She did have a feeling that the Squishy machine seemed to have a different idea, though, and had deifnitely googled what sort of things groundhogs ate before settling on today's flavors.

Today's Squishy Flavors
Clover
Dandelion
Red

Today's Jello Flavor
Turkey Vegetable Salad

Turtle & Canary is open!

Blackstone Foundry and Forge; Monday [02/04].

[special_rabbit]

Jack's little special request at the bar the other night got a little bug in Amaya's brain about something she hadn't really considered before, although that was mostly just because she'd never really been in the position to do so before. Far be it from her to pass up on a potential opportunity for business, though, especially since she'd finished up one project and was just about to move on to the next. But before she started delving into some designs for Beau's throwing weapons, she was going to be working on a sign.

And, sure, she could have just done like she used to at Turtle & Canary and make up something with poster board and what have you, but where was the fun in that? Where was the craftsmanship? She had the resources and ability to make something out of wood and metal, and she was going to use those resources, dang it!

So by the afternoon, there was a new sign hanging from the wide open window looking into the forge from the street, carved out in wood and accented with metal:

Get a Gift that Really Shows you Care:
Shiny New Weapons!
Special Holiday Pricing! Inquire Within!

Amaya Blackstone? Holding a Valentine's Day special? Hey, if it made one small step in making something even slightly less mushy, she was all in.

The Forge is open!

Community Center Class: Modern Earth Entertainment, Monday

[2_old_for_this]

Peter smiled and waved. "Since the muppets seemed okay with everyone last week, I thought we'd do something similar in form but really different in feel this week. It's a fantasy movie, and was really well-received when it came out. It's done with more muppets and costumes and everything, so there are no humans in it. Hopefully for some of you that'll be refreshing." He waved at the screen. "Enjoy."

Covent Garden Flowers - Monday

[mylandmyrules]

Nell came in pretty cheerful this morning. Anyone coming in would hear her singing to the flowers and happily taking Valentine's Day orders.
