Turtle & Canary; Monday [03/05].

[white_oleander]

Troy was entirely to blame for this, but Astrid definitely had to pick up some pancakes to go to bring with her to work that morning, and then it sort of struck her that it was actually a little rude of him to bring pancakes to their broadcast and not even bring some to share with her.

It wasn't like she expected him to share, but she was sort of wondering what she might bring to the radio station next week to not share with him.

Ice cream, probably, she decided. Ice cream really seemed like the sort of thing to really hit Troy where it hurt...

...in a completely non-malicious kind of way, of course.

So if anyone was wondering why the new postcards in the box all seemed to deal with pancakes and ice cream, that's just where Astrid's head was at that day, which, really, could be much worse.

Blackstone Foundry and Forge; Friday [03/05].

[special_rabbit]

Things had actually been very busy at the forge that week. With the exception of her class yesterday, in fact, Amaya had been very hard at work, though there had been very little to show for it.

Literally.

Because she had been working on very little weapons.

Very speficially, very little weapons that might fit perfectly on a lobster claw to enhance the lobster's already superior natural weapons.

Because, well...Amaya now had two lobsters, and by the time Friday rolled around, those lobsters were equipped with lobster weapons and had little lobster enhancements to their armor and were now set in the center of the shop in a little makeshift lobster arena she'd cobbled together so that they could finally start getting some use out of those little lobster weapons.

The battle was epic...

...epically disappointing, that is.

"Come on, Dave! Let's go, Diane! Where's your fighting spirit?"

Slowly, Dave lifted a claw. His lobster mace came down even slowly against Diane's lobster shoulder...

....eh. She'll take it.

The Forge is open!

The duck pond in the park, Friday afternoon

[betterthanaplan]

Duke landed with a splash, submerged instantly in freezing water. He flailed, desperately trying to find the surface. There were faces all around him. Pink. Laughing.

No. Squawking. Beaked.

Duke surfaced, flailing at the water. Some of the flamingoes scattered. The rest squawked at him indignantly.

He was in a pond. The duck pond.

In Fandom.

"No," he whispered, flailing to his feet. Algae streaked his once white shirt. "No no no no. Audrey?!" He spun in a circle, searching the pond. If he'd fallen out here, maybe she had too? "Audrey!!!"

He dove forward, mindless of the cold, of the flamingos, of the water reeds and the potential Fandom specific risks that might be lurking there. Audrey knew nothing about gremlins. He'd rescued her from the water once before, he could do it again.

"Audrey!!!!!"

[expecting one, but can be open as well! Duke is unlikely to listen to anyone's attempts to reason with him right now.]

Trooper Station, Friday

[firstofitskind]

"What do you mean, you filed it as 'Unsolved'?" Liam scoffed at Calvin.

"You gave up is what you mean."

Great.

"You had one job!"

He was very disappointed in you all, Troopers. Very disappointed. An actual case involving actual theft and you just... didn't do anything, because all the people who usually would make sure you Did The Things were on vacation.

Rey's warehouse- Friday afternoon

[thatwaslucky]

Rey was tackling the wall again. Maybe she'd been shaken into trying to beat the things that were hard for her as a way to prove herself. Maybe she was overcompensating for one slip-up. At the very least trying made it easier to ignore that feeling that had been eating at her the last couple weeks.

Most of the morning had been spent climbing the wall and then trying to get down by using the Force, which was harder than it maybe sounded when you had to get over your own mental blocks to do it. Suffice it to say tomorrow would start with some new and interesting bruises.
