Atlas Gym, Monday (1/11)

[notallbluemonks]

Everything in the building seemed to be in order this morning -- Beau was having a hard time believing that was the case, unsurprisingly, but after a second and third inspection the equipment was all in working order and where it should be, there weren't any plumbing issues in the locker rooms, and the bottled water hadn't turned into grape soda or anything like that.

Honestly, it was kind of annoying. Even her morning spin class nemesis was managing a non-obnoxious level of existence, which might be throwing her more than anything.

Anyway, if anybody needed Beau she'd either be hitting the parkour course (which kept getting more and more advanced in tiny increments as her own technique improved; some of the jumps seemed to be really pushing it, distance-wise, and some of the timing-related elements had a sliver at best of a margin for error) or at the desk, trying to get the jump on some of her class reading.

The parkour course was nice to have for those inevitable moments where she got annoyed or bored with the reading and had to go work off some steam. So were the training dummies, for that matter.

Devil's Nest | Monday Night

[defenderofdesmoines]

"Hey, so were you a little kid this weekend?" Annie greeted Tiny, who barely looked up from the glass he was wiping. "I was. I was four."

And when he didn't answer her, Annie continued, "It would've been kind of funny if you'd been little this weekend."

Aaaand cue Tiny starting to walk away from her.

"Because you would've actually been tiny!" And off he went into the back, where he likely couldn't hear her yell, "It wouldn't have just been ironic!"

Anyway. The bar was open, Annie was here, and she was her normal five-foot-six.

Turtle & Canary; Monday [01/11].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer was probably never going to get over being completely bummed out that her first weekend to fulfill her agreement to visit home more and go back to family counselling fell on the weekend where everyone was little and adorable. Like, ugh! Great timing there, Mom! And it definitely did not help that Apu, who had very much remained his insufferable adult self, was insisting on showing Summer all of the pictures of the wee little baby cheese panda that they had gotten instead.

Thankfully, Summer was able to escape the cuteness for a little bit since she did have work to do.

Still, it was hard to completely forget images of a little baby panda clinging angrily to someone's leg or trying to carry around a cheese wheel just as big as he was.

"Ohmygod," she had to pause to look witheringly over at the back to normal panda looking just surly and mean and way too protective over certain dairy products, "why couldn't you have just stayed like that? We would be selling so much cheese right now..."

Because, honestly, who would be able to say no? Sure, you were still being aggressively cornered to purchase cheese, but it would be done by something that was adorable!

Life was just, like, so unfair.

Community Center Class: Castletopia: A Castle For You! For You? For You!!! | Monday

[bookbeltof_love]

"Gooooooooooood eveeeeeeeeeeening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

It had been a little weird waking up at Dad's and Miss Verity's place that morning but, like, given that Miss Verity had also been a child and she had a weekend full of memories of Dad being, like, the best dad ever (not that she had much else to compare it too) Nina was… actually doing really great.

And the book Dad had bought her was now one of her greatest treasures but, like, that didn't really impact class or the fact that she was the queen of the castle they were going to be building.

"Everybody grab a hot drink and come with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she ordered, grandly, waving with her scepter. Because, indeed, hot drinks were the only things in the community center class room tonight.

Once everyone had a drink, Nina led the procession grandly through town until they came to a spot where she'd set up several tents and a perimeter glowing brightly even in the dark. Right about here.

"Welcome to the future location of our castle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Nina beamed. "We can, like, adjust our castle plans now and finalize the main design of it before we begin construction next week!!!!!!!!!!!! Inside that tent," she gestured with the scepter, "you'll find both our notes from last week as well as my compilation of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take your time to survey the area outlined in light," which seemed to be coming from absolutely nowhere, "and consider what you'd like to see in a castle at this location!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Once you're ready, come on inside and work on the design!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[Wait for the OCD is up, up, and away!]

The Perk, Monday Morning

[weirderthanthou]

Radio had made it pretty clear on Saturday that weird had, in fact, come to Fandom on the first weekend of the term. And so on Monday morning, Jesse had picked up all the relevant paperwork at town hall and taken it with her.

She was beginning to get used to doing work at the Perk. It was comfy.

And so there she sat, at a table with a large black coffee steaming in front of her, filling in one nearly-identical form after another.

"I can't believe we don't have a template for age regressions yet," she muttered.

... oh god. Am I proposing MORE paperwork?

Caritas, Monday

[1000yearstoolate]

After some time on YouTube and a bit of practicing, Seivarden had added another cocktail to her list of specials, a list that no longer included all the drinks she was able to make.

Today's Specials:
Cosmopolitan
Dry Martini
Mimosa

She wasn't in the best of moods though. The weekend might not have been the worst the island could throw at her, but it was still so very unnecessary, and she had been tempted to order a portal home on some made up excuse. Breq would have seen right through her though, and while Seivarden didn't generally mind her ability to do that, in this case she knew it wouldn't work to her favour.

So, not in the best of moods. Actually, she was in a terrible mood, even after spending the whole morning at the gym. And even after texting Summer.

Trooper Station, Monday, January 11, 2021

[grenadesandohana]

Steve was back to his normal size and hiding back at the office like he should be.

He was aggressively ignoring the Floor is Lava game the Troopers were setting up around their desks. If they knocked the water cooler over, there would be hell to pay.

The Trooper Station was open, and so aggressively normal.

Monday: Covent Garden Flowers

[mylandmyrules]

Nell was glad to be back in the flower shop and her right self again. Though she had to admit that going back to being little, back before she really understood what the Church was like had been nice in retrospect. Still, better to know.

She took extra good care of the flowers, putting her hand in each of their pots to give them a little extra good energy. Heaven only knew what had happened to them over the weekend.
