Turtle & Canary; Wednesday [10/21].

[sake_shinigami]

Shunsui had received several texts that morning from Summer-chan that told him to bring up a bunch of the jugs of water from the storage room and to put them on special today so that people who weren't prepared for today's particular kind of Fandom Weirdness could still have potable water that they could also still clean and cook with, but, of course, Summer-chan had worked with Shunsui long enough by now to know that that wasn't going to happen, which was why she showed up to get it done and why the sign about it was distinctly her voice:

PSL in your Pipes?

Buy One, Get TWO all jugs of water
We LITERALLY have a TON of it for days like this.
And emergencies.
Stock up.
It's not a big deal.

Of course, after she left in an adorable huff of a claim that she didn't have time for this, Shunsui had his own distinctly him addition, as well:

♥ ♥ ♥ And the sake's fine, too! ♥ ♥ ♥

Caritas; Wednesday [10/21].

[somethingwithturquoise]

So even though Summer had stumbled across a really spectcaularly disgusting jello recipe that had all the elements she liked in a gross jello (canned cream soup! way too much mayonnaise! jellies cranberries!) and was just begging to have vodka added to it, she was just going to have to put that on hold, because Annie had said she might swing by and that she'd never had a jello shot before and so Summer needed to make sure her first time was legit and had some real classics, and steering away from any sort of autumnal flavors because today was the kind of day where she figured everyone could use a break.

Even if she totally loved the extra PSL, and it could definitely be blamed for fueling today's particular wide range of shot options...

Community Center Class: Modern Earth Entertainment - Wednesday, 10/21.

[special_rabbit]

Was Amaya a little bummed out that she seemed to really be one of the few lingering components of what really greased the wheels of this whole movie class in the first place left? Sure. Would she actually admit that or let it show? Of course not! On with the show, right? And literally!

It just meant the faces of the people who regularly might stop in for this sort of thing had changed a little bit, but at least there were still a few regular faces, and maybe eventually more.

"Hey, everyone," she nodded once everyone seemed to be settling in with their snacks and getting their mingling out. "So this weekend is that big dance that they call Homecoming here, which is apparently a pretty big part of American culture, enough so that there's been quite a few movies on the matter. Now, some of them do get a little mushy, because they deal with teenagers, even though you couldn't tell by looking at the people who play most of them, but that's alright, because it's thematic, and the whole point of this class actually wasn't to be just about watching movies, but about learning about this world while we're at it. So let's dive in."

And, of course, since Amaya had a nice clear vision for this week, as well as several other directions she'd considered taking it, the movie itself decided to do its own thing and wound up playing something completely different.

"Oh, zards!" said Amaya, trying futilely to fix it, but of course, no amount of smacking or even destruction would stop it. "Not this one again!"

They always had to be the musical mushy ones, didn't they???

Pixie Dust | Wednesday

[that_oldsaying]

"I'm home!" Alluka announced as she bounced into her shop, which had been quiet and lonely for a... good while. "Sorry, there was something I had to take part in over in my world!"

But her tights and her dress hid all the bruises she had from that so it was totally fine! They weren't stopping her, or going to stop her, from doing whatever she wanted.

"I brought cake," she continued, chattering to the silent store. "And Mr. Bubbles and I will have you all brought up to speed in no time at all! What's on the calendar next?"

Mr. Bubbles was seated on her counter so he could continue chattering to the store while Alluka looked up the date and thought about it.

"Homecoming!" she said. "That means a sale! And then Halloween!"

Homecoming Sale!
Up to 50% off everything!
An extra 10% off of all Halloween costumes!

Pick Your Poison | Wednesday

[intraspective]

"I ain't sayin' it ain't possible or I can't do it," Iris said, on the phone, as she got her store in order for the day. Her hair was doing most of the work as she drifted through, flipping over the sign. "I ain't sayin' none of that. All I'm sayin' is that it ain't very efficient. That sort of mechanism ain't goin' to be able to guarantee what you want. A fright, yeah, that'll happen, but...

"Uh huh, yeah, no, that ain't goin' to happen--"

She rolled her eyes as the customer cut her off. Silly chirped encouragement at her.

"I can do it," Iris said, when she could talk again. "But it's gonna cost you and I want it on record it ain't gonna have the impact you think it's gonna. Uh huh. Okay. I'll get you some designs by the weekend."

Then, finally, she was free of the call.

"Some people," Iris said gravely to her chicobo.

Silly cheeped agreement.

Pick Your Poison is Open!

The Beach | Wednesday Afternoon

[bookbeltof_love]

Ugh.

So, like, Nina hadn't been on the beach since she'd showed up nearly dead on it but it was, as she knew good and well, the best place to, well... play with fire. Literally.

It wasn't going to stop her from kicking rocks over the spot she'd hit the beach through the portal.

Nina was maybe a wee bit resentful of the whole ruination of long walks on a beach daydream. It was hard to focus on romantic fantasies when all she could think about in relation to the beach was how it had felt to not be able to breathe.

"Rude," she muttered vengefully to the rocks. The porgs were giving her a wide berth.

Nina stood defiantly on the beach and stared out over the waves.

And waited.

She'd shown up early--mostly so she could literally kick rocks--on purpose.

[She's expecting one but open, yeah!]

The beach, Wednesday morning

[betterthanaplan]

According to Lucifer, last night had been Tuesday. Which meant that today was Wednesday morning, and Duke had a standing Wednesday morning appointment. So after waking up to find himself sprawled against Lucifer with his arm wrapped around a raccoon, he'd given himself a very disappointing sponge bath using bottled water, left Lucifer a note promising waffles when he got back, and headed down to the beach, hyperactive Octavia in tow.

Apparently she was still very into PSLs even as a raccoon.

Would any actual yoga happen? Doubtful. But he was kind of desperate to reset his brain to Fandom time now that he was back. And Rey gave some really excellent hugs. So he sent her a text and settled in to watch the waves. And the porgs. And the raccoon.

"Oh hey. Another shell." He accepted the broken thing Octavia handed him with great dignity and grace. "Thank you, Tavi." He waited for her to scurry off, then set it on the small pile of beach detritus she'd gathered for him already.

She looked happier like this than she had in months. You know, assuming he was anthropomorphizing her correctly and all. Duke was kind of wishing he could be a raccoon for awhile, too.

[open!]

Around town- Wednesday morning

[throughaphase]

Kitty and Tony had talked about this weeks ago, and with a week and a half to the holiday, it was time to get the posters up. You know, give people enough time to find their costumes and all.

So all around town posters were getting posted up:

HALLOWEEN PARTY
CARITAS
Saturday October 31
Costumes encouraged!

She had to keep putting down her pumpkin spice latte to do each poster but that was fine.


[Open if you want to catch her!](
