Turtle & Canary; Wednesday [01/01].

Shunsui was definitely asleep behind the register, which was nothing unusual, but it was fueled by a very long and eventful and almost entirely handwaved night between the two bars on the island and feeding an insatiable curiosity about what might be going on over on the mainland.

He also didn't come in until well into the afternoon, but that, again, was nothing unusual.

He did almost think about not coming in at all, but it was Wednesday (he thought?), and he was just superstitious enough to feel that breaking away from routine on the first day of the year was akin to getting started on the wrong foot, thus causing everything to follow feeling slightly out of step.

Blackstone Foundry and Forge; Wednesday [01/01].

Amaya had stayed up late enough to watch that silly ball drop at the end of the day, feeling incredibly disappointed and that it was a waste of a good dramatic moment that the thing didn't just explode when it landed, although the fireworks were a decent consolation prize. She was vageuly wondering who she might be able to write a letter to to make an appeal to fix that for next year, although who even knew if she'd be around next year to appreciate it?

Either way, staying up that late when not elbows-deep in a project was rare, so there was definitely lots and lots and lots of coffee on her workbench that day as well as lots and lots of...vegetables?

Look, yes, new year and all that, but the real take-away Amaya got from the party last night was that yes, she knew how to generate electricity using a potato, and she could challenge her students this year to figure out a way to increase that electricity, but, what if, this whole time, they were really sleeping on a potential other vegetable (or fruit!) that could conduct electricty better than a potato?

It was probably the sort of thing she could just look up on her phone, but where was the fun in that?

Whichever way these experiments ended up going, it was almost guaranteed to be interesting. And probably an eventual mess. But Amaya was hankering for some explosions, now, wasn't she?

The Forge is open!
