Pizza Planet, Wednesday

[carbsliftthespirit]

Today's special was not Raiden's brainwave. In fact, he felt obligated to protest that, "I don't usually say this, but I'm not sure this is really pizza," but the staff was insistent. Apparently it was cultural.

Special
None Pizza With Left Beef

Pizza Planet is open. None pizza with left beef is older than you thought.

Turtle & Canary; Wednesday [10/19].

[sake_shinigami]

It was always a bit strange, Shunsui felt, to come into the store and not instantly be assaulted with some random decorations or display to celebrate something entirely made up. He felt it was happening more frequently, though, which perhaps meant Apu-san was finally growing out of this particular method of easy post content drumming up business, so, in a way, he was pleased to come in and see that the only decorative flair was in the form of the usual Halloween paraphernalia one would come to expect this time of year. He even decided to compliment the man on his discretion that day.

Which was just met with confusion, and an explanation that he was celebrating something that day.

"....oh, I see," said Shunsui, who, yes, honestly just figured that was how you usually dressed, Apu, and could only chuckle a little sheepishly, although he really didn't feel all that bad. "Well, this is awkward...♥."

Furnado Animal Shelter; Wednesday [10/19].

[in_sidon_we_trust]

The turtles all seemed terribly lethargic lately, and so Sidon was hoping to drum up some excitement and interest in them today by setting up a thrilling and exciting turtle-specific obstacle course! He had spent a good deal of yesterday setting it up, feeling rather proud of himself for doing it (the Zora were, after all, natural architects!), and now the day had come! There were banners and flags and the other animals that were confused enough to be roped into spectating had chosen their favorites, Sidon was a flurry of encouragement and hype, and then, finally! The moment they've all been waiting for! The obstacle race could begin!

And they were off...

....

.....eventually.

Oh.....this might take a while.

"Yes!" Sidon encouraged, hoping his cheers would give them a little bit more of a nudge, a bit more of a boost, to hurry things on a bit. "That's the spirit! Go get 'em! Look at him go! You can do it! I believe in you!"

Furnado is open!

Caritas; Wednesday [10/19].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer was looking over some of the vodka flavors of the bottles that Tino had ordered in recently, with a sort of....introspective look on her face. Obviously, these would all be very useful and helpful for creating some new and interesting shots, but she was definitely coming to terms with the idea that just because you could, didn't necessarily mean you should...

Until the whiskeys arrived.

"Oooooh, is that beaver musk gland???"

Well. The clarity of thought was nice while it lasted.

Dite's Decadent Delights | Wednesday

[begmetwice]

Irene had had a fabulous time in France, thank you for asking. It had been entirely too long since she'd visited Paris on her own time, the pastoral everything else had actually caught her interest more than she would have figured, and -- that was it. Those were the things she'd liked about the trip.

Food was good too, she supposed. And it was nice to stock up on perfume and shoes, while she was over there. Shopping always soothed her spirit.

(And the room party, and the wedding, but Irene felt like if she dwelled on what she had liked about those things, she might somehow sabotage it or -- you know. Accidentally send fifty-seven unsolicited texts, or something.)

So, anyway. Back to the grind, as it were. And the grind, in this case, was the business of making sure that anyone who really loved this time of year was...well-equipped to really love this time of year.

Enter at your own risk -- the display at the front of the store is...thematic, once more.

The Perk, Wednesday Afternoon

[pocketpretzels]

It had been a while since Watts had been by the Perk as anything more than a quick stop before heading somewhere else, so he’d missed the addition of certain fall-themed drinks to the menu.

But now that he was actually taking his time to peruse the (still overwhelming) list of available drinks, he did notice.

“Pumpkin spice?” he vaguely remembered Annie mentioning it, as well as Constable Crabtree, even, saying something about the Inspector’s pumpkin seeds and his coffee… “Why not. I’ll try that. With the oat milk, please.”

No, Steven wasn’t accompanying him, nor did they have plans to meet up today, so he could just stick to the regular milk, but he also liked the oat milk just fine.

[ooc: am i cursing myself by making an open post on a day that so far appears to be slow work-wise? maybe.]

Blackstone Foundry & Forge; Wednesday Afternoon [10/19].

[special_rabbit]

Two forge days in a row? It was more common than you'd think! Because technically, Amaya was usually there every day, even when not explicitly posted.

Wednesdays were a bit tricky, of course, since she had her class and all, but once that was finished, it was back to work, and she intended to keep it that way until she managed to finish up on that broadsword blade.

Like you do.

The Forge is open!

The Magpie Emporium, Thursday (10/20)

[drumsticksandd20s]

Steph had most definitely not ordered the dozen large pumpkins that were in a crate on the front step of the store when she showed up this morning, but they were clearly addressed to the store, and really, what was a girl supposed to do with a bunch of gift pumpkins in the leadup to Halloween except start carving them?

Don't answer that.

It was a moot point, anyway, because Steph was already getting to work on pumpkin-carving within half an hour of opening up and yes, all of them were going to have fantasy monsters of some variety on them if the Sharpie sketches of manticores and giant spiders and mindflayers and the like were any indication, to say nothing of the beholder pumpkin she'd already gotten started.

All the dice sets on display along the counter today were in shades of orange and black and purple, and an army of miniature zombies was surrounding a hapless adventuring party atop one of the center display shelves.

Also, a sign that said "CAT IS CURSED, DO NOT PET" was propped up beside one of Saffron's favorite sleeping spots. That was because she'd shamelessly stolen her own idea from Ethan's LARP back in Haven Springs, and possibly unnecessary because Saffron let no one but Vi pet her, ever. But hey, it went with the decor.
