Groovy Tunes; Thursday [09/29].

[lilac_eyed_lieutenant]

Well....the stereo was doing the thing again, where it had one song in particular that it was playing significantly more than anything else, no matter what Tisarwat tried to do, so she was either feeling like she did not have enough tea on hand or she really should spend the day product-testing noise-cancelling headphones.

"Waking you up," Tisarwat eventually informed the stereo, after maybe the twentieth time it played the song, giving it a withering look over her mug of tea, "implies that you were ever sleeping to begin with, which you're clearly not, or else I'd have some peace and quiet and respite around here."

After which point, the stereo did in fact go silent, the quiet felt almost startling by comparison, and Tisarwat was left wondering if that should be something she should be worried about. Granted, of course, she was used to AI and knew that some of them did, in fact, develop personalities and agency, but that was back home. She wouldn't trust an AI from this planet as far as she could throw it...

The Perk, Thursday Afternoon

[needsacatchphrase]

Valkyrie's visit had come and gone and Jane was left with coming up with times to go back to New Asgard like she was asked to and a lot of time to think on some other things brought up by her.

And fiddling with her phone, looking at messages from Erik and Darcy, checking in on things. Which meant that Jane was drowning her sorrows with a PSL. Because it was that time of year for them and it was necessary to work up to responding to any of the very well meaning messages.

There could be a superhero emergency at any time to prevent her from doing so, though. That'd be great.

Devil's Nest | Thursday Evening

[defenderofdesmoines]

You know, Annie wasn't really kidding yesterday when she told Summer she kind of figured she should be low-key pre-gaming all week to prepare for this bachelorette party tomorrow, and by all rights, she should have been spending a lot more time with the cute little mojito she'd mixed up for herself.

But instead, she had to assuage what she perceived as some very hurt feelings. ('Perceived' was the operative word here.)

"Tiny, I know it's like, kind of regressive, but no other men are coming," she explained patiently. "Do you want to do karaoke with the guys? I can see if they could take you along, but I just don't think...."

Annie trailed off as Tiny decided he needed to go check the kegs in the back, and walked away from her.

"Oh man, his feelings must be so hurt," she decided, to no one, based on nothing.

Magic Box | Thursday

[dishesonthetoprack]

Emboldened by what he had learned regarding Jeff's love of spooky season (or, probably, Wanda's, but Jeff had been a focal point of discussion all weekend thanks to having a nine year-old in tow) (and also Scott), Scott decided that what the dude clearly needed was spooky treats.

And thus, he'd actually gone a bit further than usual, and left not only a pumpkin-shaped cookie, but also a PSL as an offering.

Probably a good thing that ant season was drawing to a close, honestly. (Scott was kind of the ant guy now, anyway. He could use that.)

Most importantly of all, however, was the festive, oversized top hat he'd found in the back of the store, and while he wasn't so forward as to put something on Jeff's head uninvited and unbidden, he did totally set it by the guy's feet along with his treats.

Maybe a rabbit would come out of it, if nothing else?

Thursday: 43 Unicorn and Plant Parenthood

[mylandmyrules]

The future site of Plant Parenthood was busy today. Nell was kept running up and down flights of stairs as she supervised the people putting up the store sign, and those bringing the two hives she'd ordered up to the roof. She'd donw a lot of research on the subject and wanted to get everything in and organized before winter so that she'd be ready to go with the nucs as soon as spring let her.

When the workers were done she stood back and looked at the sign. It was fairly plain, a green sign with the words 'Plant Parenthood' written in a dark brown curved style that looked not unlike tree bark, with small flowers sprouting around the edges. Nothing too fancy, but welcoming.

It might not be open just yet, but the lights were on, the inside was clean with plants and supplies already on shelves and out for display and Nell was busily organizing and setting out her teas and areas for her lotions and tonics.


Please feel free to stop in and say hello and look around.

Luke's, Thursday

[betterthanaplan]

"What the hell is that?" Duke asked, watching Benny carry a jiggling, dripping bag across the kitchen.

"Today's special!" He beamed. "I caught it myself!"

"Please tell me it's not a blobfish."

"It's not a blobfish," everyone said obediently.

". . . Right. You know what? Carry on. I . . . am going to go keep working on paperwork."

The Photo Hut - Thursday

[flamesburned]

Since Liz didn’t have a lot of paper work to finish, she thought she could get a head start on the halloween decorations and had started to bring out the boxes of decorations from last year and was spending some time decorating the displays. She was being careful with not to over do it and she wouldn’t be able to finish all the decorating by herself but she did get a lot of it done.

Once she had decorated as much as she was physically able to, Liz returned to behind the counter to continue putting the finishing touches on the photo album for Prompto - she was quite pleased with the how the album had turned out and was looking forward to being able to give it to him.
