Turtle & Canary; Monday [11/16].

[somethingwithturquoise]

It turned out that Summer's phone-related pony FOMO was all for naught, because once she did have hands and went back to catch up on the drama llamas that had all her triple-H-S circles flailing, it hadn't even been all that interesting and honestly? She had been better off not getting sucked into something that lame to begin with. So thank you, ponification? She guessed? Whatever. There were more important things to take care of, like her job, and other mysteries in front of her, like...

"Apu, why does the back room look like a fucking war zone? I thought you stayed, you know, human this weekend?"

Oh, he had. And he thought that was a very interesting choice of words.

Summer blinked at Apu and this cryptic response. Apu stared back, the sort of long-distant stare that seemed to beg her to not make him say it. Summer blinked again.

"Ohmygod! And you left it like that? Did you think I would clean that up?"

And it was very clear that Apu was going to fight against having to do it, and Summer knew that they both had pretty good pull for 'I do enough as it is around here already,' and she knew that actually getting their boss to do it would actually probably be more work than the actual cleaning or more bargaining that Summer was willing to do.

"Fine," she said, "get the panda. We're drawing straws."

Diaz & Ass., Monday [11/16].

[died8yearsago]

One thing Rosa hadn't expected when she started up this little PI firm was that she would actually, eventually, have an actual Associate to go along with it, but there they were, and she was actually pretty impressed with Jessica, as far as she could tell, and decided sure. Why not? There was something about her that Rosa could really relate to and respect, even if she did sort of make Rosa feel like they were sharing so much, they might as well start braiding each other's hair and giving each other manicures, sheesh...

Either way, she thought it would be interesting to give Jessica a dumb and pointless assignment that should reveal itself to be pretty dumb and pointless pretty damn quick to even the worst detective, just to see where it lead her and what she might have to say about it, and then it was back to telling her Baltimore contact that she was trying to remain professionally objective here, but this obsession with this muffin was bordering on severe and maybe what she needed to find was a psychiatrist, not a recipe.

And revel in the fact that she had absolutely zero pony related phone calls to field that morning.

Diaz & Ass. is open!

Devil's Nest | Monday Night

[defenderofdesmoines]

You know what was the greatest? Not being a pony. Or, more specifically, having hands. The rest of it had actually not been that bad.

(Take it from Annie - she'd been a bat two weeks ago. At least her pony self understood words.)

In any case, Annie was back behind the bar - with hands and hair that was, frankly, not quite as shiny as her pony mane had been but she wasn't resentful about it, don't worry - and back to playing with the blender again.

Admittedly, she had never really had banana liqueur before, so maybe it wasn't her fault that she was overdoing it on the rum to compensate for how banana-y her batch of Bahama mamas was turning out to be? Because at first they had seemed grossly bananaish and now they seemed...like, maybe flammably alcoholic?

Never mind that it was also the middle of November. She'd been a pony this weekend. Tropical drinks were pretty low on the weirdness scale, today.

The Perk - Monday Afternoon

[superjoanjett]

There was no overly complicated coffee orders today and Jessica just glared at the Barista upon the suggestion of peppermint and chocolate in her coffee.

"Do I look like I want candy canes in my coffee?"

There was only one thing she liked in her coffee. And she poured that in from her flask when she settled down at the table and began to work on the assignment her future boss had just provided.

Trooper Station, Monday, November 16, 2020

[grenadesandohana]

Steve was so excited to have thumbs again that it was a little ridiculous.

The Troopers were glad to have allll of their fingers back so they could flip him off behind his back after an hour and a half of rock climbing because sometimes, according to Steve, you needed to know how to rock climb to solve crimes.

Calvin was calling BS on that.

The Trooper Station was open! And with all of their appendages!

Monday: Covent Garden Flowers

[mylandmyrules]

Nell was happy to work with all the Bonsai trees. They seemed happy to be here and there was something that just seemed very calming about them. It was a slow day, so Nell amused herself by arranging them in different ways: shortest to tallest, widest to thinnest, by type of tree, and finally just in a number of artistic patterns around the other plants.
