Turtle & Canary; Monday [03/22].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Having had such a quiet and uneventful weekend had Summer thinking a little bit more about her current schedule that seemed to conveniently have her out of Fandom whenever any of the weird stuff started to hit, which seemed, in the aftermath and everyone's stories about it, like a good thing, but dealing with an actual quiet weekend had Summer feeling a little antsy and anxious and very much like she might have a problem with her whole 'adreneline junkie' thing sometimes.

That managed to last up until the moment she walked into the store that morning, and found at least an inch of water covering the floor.

"What happened?" she asked, wide-eyed, turning to Apu for an explanation. "Did a pipe burst, or something?"

No, no, it was nothing like that. That would make too much sense. Instead, it was a failed attempt on Apu's part to celebrate World Water Day in ways that went horribly and inexplicably wrong.

To his credit, he was already working on trying to get it cleaned up.

Unfortuately, Summer wasn't so sure that a single mop was going to do much good, no matter how dedicated was attending to the task.

Sure, she had to throw on a pair of rainboots to do her inventory walk, and she put a sign out at the front of the store warning people of the very minor flood inside, but honestly? When the turtle and the canary splashed by her at some point, it was all adorable enough to almost make it worth it. At least someone could enjoy it, and at least an inch of water wasn't that bad.

At least an inch of water wasn't likely to hide anything that might come out of said water.

See? Always a silver lining.

Turtle & Canary is open! And kind of damp.

Diaz & Ass.; Monday [03/22].

[died8yearsago]

After the rage-induced wanton destruction of most of the equipment in the office last week (not even the coffee maker had been spared), Rosa had replaced it all and the timing worked out well that it all arrived today, so she was busy setting things up again and getting things back in order.

The new coffee maker definitely went in first.

Which was good, because it was probably the only thing keeping Rosa from destroying another computer again because sometime technology hated her and it seemed to be impossible to get the thing working the way it should, and Rosa was never very good with patience, and so help her, if it gave her that error message one more time....!

Did computer stores have punch cards, like, buy ten computers, and the eleventh one is free? Because Rosa was on the road to getting quite a few punches on a card like that here very shortly.

Diaz & Ass. is open!

Devil's Nest | Monday Night

[defenderofdesmoines]

Annie was clearly distracted as she took her place behind the bar tonight. As a means to avoid the temptation to drink at work -- even something as innocuous as a Shirley Temple (the sugar) -- Annie had brought a tall tumbler of some kind of green juice to sip on. Granted, mostly she was just sort of annoyed about it, rather than, like, basking in her newfound health benefits, but it was probably a better choice than the beer she really wanted.

She was also trying to be a little more active tonight, even through her distraction, and kept finding reasons to go look in cabinets and pace around and basically just annoy the utter shit out of Tiny. Part of it was that she actually felt compelled to hit her step count today; part of it was that she was, honestly, just kind of anxious and trying to burn it off a little.

The Devil's Nest was open, even if the bartender was busy with her phone and her juice and her nerves.

Trooper Station, Monday, March 22, 2021

[grenadesandohana]

The Troopers were trying to plead out of daily PT because of seaonsal allergies.

"Don't your helmets filter out pollen?" Steve asked.

There was an awkward silence.

"Exactly. Suit up, start running."

Calvin was now faking sneezes just to be like that.

The Trooper Station was open and still full of random junk the leprechaun had stolen on March 17th. Come claim your things! Steve will even be discrete if you're after the bra that was worn in just right.
