Turtle and Canary- Saturday

Janet didn't know what had gone on with the signage over the last week, but uh. She felt the need to make up a new one.

Kaidan had sent a text as promised. Carrying and overlarge duffel bag, in the same outfit he'd left the island in. Cargo pants, t-shirt, boots. A little more wear and tear on the boots, the leather of one toe had a distinct bitemark impression from one of the little Kroglettes. He smiled every time he looked at it. She was his favorite, the feisty little runt of the first hatch.

It had been a good few days after a very long month. He still badly needed sleep, but that was a never-ending problem lately, and had been for over a year now. At least maybe now his brain could content itself with something. The mission had been a success. Impromptu and done mostly out of panic, the Hail Mary had succeeded. The galaxy wouldn't be the same, but he couldn't help but think it would be better. Maybe a little more stable. Maybe give him a little more room to breathe for just a little while longer.

He waited for the portal to open and when it did, he stepped through. Back to the island he went.

[For the one or two, could be open if you have a reason to be there, sure. Wanderer returns. OCD below.]

The Bookbelt, Saturday

[bookbeltof_love]

Saturday wasn't, like, her usual day to hang out at her bookstore (though, then, she should probably get around to figuring out when her usual day was, really, with the new semester…) but she'd solemnly promised Prompto that she wouldn't die today and, like, it would be pretty hard to die in a bookstore, right?

… Right?

"Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Nina chirped as she rounded up the most fussiest, demanding books she could find and got them settled on the tables by the reading window. "Like, we have a mission today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

That got them all to stop fluttering their pages in indignation at least.

"This is a very important mission," she told them all earnestly and completely sincere. "So important that I wouldn't dare do it without your input!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Then she set a stack of furniture catalogues on the space she'd insisted be kept clear.

"You all live here," for a certain value of 'live', really, "so you all get to help me out by picking out new furniture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What will it be, everyone?????????????????"

Why had she picked the fussiest books for this? Because they'd be the most annoying if they didn't like what she picked out. But now some of the other books were sidling on over to look too, and she waved them onwards.

"Let me know what you all decide, okay??????????????? Try not to rip the catalogues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And while they did that, Nina was going to stick a sign in the window:

NOW HIRING!!!!!!!!!!!
Inquire within!

And then she was going to text Rufus about the mayhem the books were causing by looking through those catalogues.

The Bookbelt is Open!

Luke's Diner, Saturday

[what_the_shock]

Another Saturday, another day spent drinking coffee and trying to keep the staff from, if you believed them, doing anything fun.

"I don't care," Miguel said firmly, "I'm not cleaning up the oil fires that'll happen. Just cook the fries."

Today's specials
Reuben
Bagel with lox, cream cheese, tomato, onion, and capers
Brownie sundae


Luke's was open!

The beach, Saturday night

[what_the_shock]

They'd had a pretty good turnout last week; Miguel was hopeful for another meeting. Maybe Fjord would even be unsnaked.

There was a bonfire, and he'd brought a couple twelve-packs of beer again, and a bottle of gin (and another of tonic, because who did gin straight?), and a lot of leftover fries from his diner shift.

The usual messages had been sent out to the club members (aka, anybody who'd been there before), and hey, there were always new members to hope for, too!


[Open beach and club!]
