Turtle & Canary; Friday [07/02].

[white_oleander]

The way Troy was talking about holes that morning left Astrid feeling half-certain that they'd find themselves tumbling into one pretty much as soon as they walked out of the radio station, because that was just how those things tended to work, but she was pleased to find out that this was not the case, and she was able to make it back to her room and then eventually even to work without incident, so that was good.

And thanks to Troy mentioning it, she was a little less surprised to walk in and find the place decked out in Red, White, and Blue, with a special on cheap fireworks and patriotic paraphenalia made in factories overseas. The whole thing was definitely making her wish she'd thought to bring her Captain America puppet, because all of this would prove for a great backdrop for a new PSA video. She hadn't done one of those in a while...

But if it was slow enough, maybe she'd wind up just throwing together a new puppet. Sock Puppet Captain America could probably use an upgrade after all these years.

Rey's warehouse- Friday afternoon

[thatwaslucky]

Rey had missed training on Wednesday, which meant that she left the apartment(s) on Thursday for an extra long session as per her rule, and was surprised when she got back home and Silver wasn't there. And when he didn't come back. And wasn't answering calls or texts. And she didn't find him when she went out looking last night. Or this morning. And when nothing made radio except for talk of holes she couldn't find, either.

She didn't get the sense that there was danger, but she was (understandably) flipping out in her own Rey way.

The good thing was that she had training today, with a teacher who had to know better about situations like this, and until he showed up she could attempt to meditate on it, find some answers.

Attempt.

Caritas | Friday

[sith_said]

"What's thes aw abit?" Cait asked suspiciously, when Tino handed Cait a tiny red, white, and blue flag. "New things tae stick in th' drinks? Whit abit th' umbrellas? A' fowk likes th' umbrellas!"

Even after an explanation, Cait wasn't entirely sure what the flags having to go in drinks meant with a holiday this world was having on Sunday but, really, the bigger problem was—

"Hoo mony boxes ay them dae we hae!?" he protested, looking at the floor to ceiling pile of boxes filled with, he was told, just… more flags. So many more flags.

"Weel," Cait said, " Ah guess everyone's gettin' at leest a dizzen per drink…."

No, he didn't care how hard that would make a drink to actually drink either.

Caritas is Open!

Trooper Station, Friday

[firstofitskind]

People were disappearing. Which wasn't entirely unheard of, here in Fandom. Buildings disappearing kind of was, though; sure, there had been instances of buildings being destroyed or changed into something else but outright disappearing? That was a new one, at least to Liam.

So he'd shown up today with the intent of going through previous incidents and looking for anything similar.

(Privately, he doubted he'd find it. Repeat incidents seemed to be few and far between. But you never knew.)

Anyway, yes. He was here, if focused.

The Perk, Early Friday Afternoon

[okteiviakom]

Therapy, swimming, and then coffee at the Perk. Two times, not even in consecutive weeks, was not really enough to make it a tradition for Octavia's Fridays. Not even a habit. But still, it was... Nice.

And this time, she was even actually eating the pastry she'd ordered with her black coffee. Although she was also scrolling through things on her phone more than she was looking out the window she was sitting right by.

There were a lot of stables in the area around Baltimore.

[ooc: Expecting one, but open to all!]

The Devil's Nest, Friday Night

[my_own_advocate]

Tiny had been trying to hire more musicians. Luckily, Lucifer had caught him in the act this time. A battle of words had resulted - most of them Lucifer's, Tiny being Tiny - and in the end, a compromise was reached.

Which would explain the small indie rock band standing where the piano usually was. And the small but not insignificant audience of small indie rock band fans surrounding them. And why Lucifer was on stage with a microphone, singing.

It even explained why, in some roundabout fashion, Lucifer broke up the band's set of tasteful rock classics by sitting down for a bloody Miley Cyrus cover.

It was irritating, the way she was growing up to be not half bad.

"Love you now, but not tomorrow
Wrong to steal, but not to borrow
Pull you in, but don't you get too close..."
