Furnado Animal Shelter; Firday [11/01].

[in_sidon_we_trust]

Halloween might be over, but Prompto had left most of the costumes on the animals from yesterday, which meant Sidon was treated to the most adorable surprise ever when he came into the shelter for his own shift that morning.

Sure, most of the cats had wriggled out of their by that point, and half of the puppies had turned their own into chew toys, but the bunnies dressed up a little vampires, with capes and fangs were just precious.

Oh. Wait. No. That bunny was definitely not wearing a costume...

Okay, then! Time to get to work, and, apparently, they had vampire rabbits now, too! So be it!

Mostly, though, Sidon was going to try to work through his sleepiness. Last night had been a very, very long night.

Furnado is open!

[[and all my characters are sleepy lol]]

Covent Garden Flowers, Friday (11/1)

[goldfishontherocks]

Keyleth hadn't actually participated in any Halloween-related activities last night, because her social awkwardness was bad enough when she actually understood the cultural relevance of the holiday in question. A totally unfamiliar one? Nope. Nooooooope. She was pretty sure that would have just ended poorly.

Though she kind of wished she had, in retrospect.

The flowers were humming to her today, something soothing and calm with an autumnal feel to it. And, though the significance of this would be lost on Keyleth, it was definitively not Christmas music yet, just because all the leftover Halloween candy was going on clearance now.

She appreciated it, in any case.

[OOC: IDK, man. Post/shop open, start-of-month levels of SP to be expected.]

Trooper Station, Friday

[firstofitskind]

So, another Halloween was over and judging from his jog around the island this morning, the island had already moved on, and people were discussing Thanksgiving or even Christmas plans.

Everyone that is, except the Troopers. Who'd been acting kind of shifty all week. Like they'd been hiding something. Liam finally broke down and- well, no, he didn't ask about it. But he followed Ralph from a discreet distance as he saw the Trooper head towards the evidence room and make a beeline for the back corner, where he pulled out a... bag of cat food? From one of the filing boxes. And dumped it in a bowl. Moments later, a fluffy black cat slunk out of the shadows and started chowing down.

Having caught Ralph red-handed, Liam demanded an explanation. Turned out that one of the cats had apparently stuck around after last week's sudden 'invasion', and the Troopers had been feeding it the whole time. Liam just sighed (mostly an act, he'd kind of liked having the cats around) and told Ralph to move the food dish to the sheriff's office.

Apparently the station had a cat now!

Jeff, God of Biscuits, Friday Afternoon

"All right, I'll have three boxes of those donuts," Lucifer said, pointing at one at random. "The sugary ones. The ones that look downright sinful and will likely file down the teeth of anyone who eats them."

A beat.

"No, they're not for me," he hastened to add. "I want you to send them to... cops. Is there a police station here? You know what, just put the boxes on the till and put the label 'cops' on it. I've met cops before, they can smell it. I know what you're thinking, 'it's a stereotype', but it honestly isn't."

He laughed, then grinned.

"... And I'll have the eclair."

Nothing quite as devilish as chocolate on French pastry, was there?
