Turtle & Canary; Wednesday [11/27].
Wednesday, November 27th, 2019 05:26 amAt first, everything seemed pretty normal in the store that Wednesday. A few more turkeys and other thematically related foods in stock than usual, the panda stood careful guard over his cheese, Turtle-chan meandering around her tank, Canary-chan fluttering in her cage, Apu made sure the floors were good and swept, Shunsui expertly managed to drag about two hours worth of ordering into a full day...
Until he slowly started to notice something.
"Apu-san?" he asked. "What is this music?"
Apu sighed, the long-suffering sigh of a man who had been doing his best to just ignore it. "Christmas music."
Shunsui regarded him with something like suspicion. "....isn't Christmas in December?"
Another miserable sigh. "Yes."
Shunsui knew that things like days and sometimes months could get away with him, so he took a moment to check both the calender and the computer to confirm that it was, indeed, still November. And not even Thanksgiving yet.
"....can we turn it off?" he asked, after realizing that this was probably the tenth time he'd heard this particular song so far that day alone.
This next sound that escaped Apu was the most tortured and resigned soung yet. "No." It was nearly a sob. "We can't."
Which, at the moment, seemed a bit overdramatic, if you asked Shunsui, but give it time. Just wait, until the end of the day, by which point Shunsui would be wondering if anyone had ever used a Bankai to take down a stereo system.
