Turtle & Canary- Saturday

[overparented]

It was Janet's first day of work that she was not telling her parents about, and she was pretty excited about it. She knew the basics, she barely needed Apu's help, it was mostly a matter of figuring out the specifics of this store, and she was more than happy to do that.

The problem came in the form of the Squishy machine, which Janet actually didn't know how to use. And when she'd asked Apu, he'd maybe insinuated that she could maybe figure it out herself.

Which she could. It was fine.

...It would be fine later, after she got a mop.

Just wait until she looked at the cheese case.

Covent Garden Flowers, Saturday

[1000yearstoolate]

Seivarden opened the shop. She watered the plants. She made a few flower arrangements. She drank tea, of course. She found herself actually enjoying the day, even if she was unlikely to tell anyone.

Well, she wouldn't have minded some company, or at least a customer. Someone who behaved reasonably civilized, of course.

Luke's Diner, Saturday

[what_the_shock]

A relatively normal week was a nice change, and Miguel was happy to have a bit of a low-key shift.

"They just disappear when they go underwater," the dishwasher insisted.

"That's stupid! They just live on land instead!" the cook countered.

Low-key except for the arguments about amphibians. Miguel was going to drink his coffee and stay out of it.

Groovy Tunes, Saturday

[justice_undone]

Breq hadn't expected to end up owning a music shop, but it was hardly the strangest thing to happen since she had arrived on the island. She had more or less cleaned out the basement and turned it into functioning living quarters, but getting rid of all the boxes meant she had things to rearrange in the shop itself.

It turned out the Silence didn't seem to like changes, and it was quietly protesting - or that was Breq assumed it was doing - by lying on the counter glaring at her. It went without saying, but the place was silent.

Breq put a note on the door:

Jobs available
Apply inside

She didn't expect to get many applicants until the new students arrived, but at least she could try.
