Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

All right, so this was still a total nightmare! Kitty opened the bar a little early today, totally just to do her job like a good little plastic worker toy, and while she hoped more people had woken up and would be here today, she had to be more careful today because if yesterday was anything to go by, there'd be more suspicion, too.

So here was Kitty, "working," and "having fun" while doing it, and staying maybe closer to the front today.

Caritas was open! And definitely not encouraging anything!

The streets of Fandom, Tuesday afternoon

[thishouseishaunted]

Mae toddled along through town, looking wide-eyed around at all the plastic toy buildings.

This was right, wasn't it? They were all toys, so of course they lived in a toy town. Where else were they supposed to live?

None of this was real.

Creeping existential horror was definitely not standard for most stuffed cats, as far as Mae knew. It was, however, a very familiar sensation for this particular stuffed cat. Nothing she was looking at was real. The people she knew were not supposed to be toys. Their lines weren't their own, they were being controlled, practically scripted by someone else.

Someone who was willing to kill to keep the status quo.

It was a very good thing that Mae didn't have a mouth right now, because then all the myriad of curses running through her head would be coming out. Along with some general screaming.

Instead the only noise she made was squeaking. Squeak-squeak, squeak-squeak, squeaksqueaksqueaksqueakSQUEAKSQUEAKSQUEAKSQUEAKSQUEAK!

Running was a fun and healthy activity for a young stuffed cat, wasn't it? Nothing to see here, folks! Everything was juuuuuuuust fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

[open!]

Devil's Nest, Tuesday Evening

[texted3times]

Caritas was playing Baby Shark all night long: SO FUN.

Also fun? A super-hilarious rivalry with Caritas, which was why today's drink special was half-price from whatever Caritas was charging!

Most people couldn't really drink anything anyway so that was just pure profit anyway, which was fun for Eric.

He was back behind the bar again today, grinning toothily and very eager to make sure everyone was having the correct amount of good time. He'll turn you over in a blink if you weren't.

The duck pond in the park, Tuesday evening

[heartinabox]

Regina and Sabine appeared from nowhere and landed in the (much shallower than normal, don't want those kiddies to drown!) duck pond in the park, with a shout and some not-very-toy-friendly language on Regina's part.

Someone had been found out. And she was not happy about it.

[posted for the completion of Regina's arrest by Sabine and some army troopers. That thread is closed, but the post it open to spectators or anyone else who might be happening through the park!]
