Turtle & Canary; Friday [10/21].

[hashtag_chocobro]

Oh no.

Apu had been decorating the store for Halloween that day, which meant that Prompto remembered that Halloween was even a thing, and now he was sucked into the unending rabbit hole of adorableness that was newborn and infant Halloween costumes.

"Ohmygods."

It was honestly almost too much, and Prompto was left really wishing the timing had worked out better so that he and Liz could have had an October baby, but when he thought back and did the math (which wasn't that difficult, actually; even with the wide gap in the years, that first time had been pretty memorable), he realized that even then, they'd have missed it by a hair.

Oh, well. At least he'd have next year for it. And several more years after that, pretty much until the time she grew out of liking cute Halloween costumes and her dorky dad getting all squee about them, and how was that for a concept to just sort of blow his mind a little right now?

In the meantime, he might just have to settle for some of the ridiculous pregnancy costumes that were out there. Of course, the real trick there was talking Liz into it, but, hey, he wouldn't know if he didn't at least try, right?

The Magpie Emporium; Friday, 10/21.

[pun_king]

Graham had been excited to see all the pumpkin work that Steph had been doing at the store, especially after getting to read about it on the radio, but when he finally came in, he found himself much more distracted by that sign declaring that Saffron was, in fact, cursed.

"....you know," Graham decided, as he looked down at Saffron, who was ignoring him as usual in favor of grooming and keeping herself clean and tidy, "that actually explains a lot."

So now, he felt, the real question was what kind of curse, because you couldn't even begin to start looking into what kind of spell you could use to break it if you didn't even know what kind it was, but he'd feel really bad, honestly, if he had the knowledge of a curse and didn't at least try to do something about it....

Trooper Station, Friday

[pocketpretzels]

"Hello?" Watts said, picking up the station's telephone.

"Can you- can you slow down and repeat that?"

"She threw mice- oh, attack mice at you?"

"Oh, at your bees. And the bees didn't- I see. No, of course I'm not accusing your bees of-"

"Yes, I'll send someone right away."

Hey Ralph, guess who you got to visit today?

Rey's warehouse- Friday afternoon

[thatwaslucky]

For the most part, Rey had been kind of a shut-in this week. Not for any bad reasons, but she'd returned from her trip home with a lightsaber crystal and shed been devoting a lot of time to constructing her lightsaber. All hers. Something that hasn't been passed down, something no one else could lay claim to. And while her headspace wasn't any less complicated, she was at least feeling clearer about it, like the process was some sort of therapy.

Today it was drills, then. Like she was trying to get as much time in with this one as she could while she had it. Kind of a therapy in itself, really.


[Open!]

Pizza Planet, Friday

[carbsliftthespirit]

Raiden was jamming out to the new Taylor Swift album this Friday at the Pizza Planet.

It was for the best for everyone that he didn't know any of the songs well enough to sing along yet.

Reuben Pizza
Italian Beef Deep Dish Pizza
Tuna Melt Pizza

The last one was kosher! Which might be the only thing it had going for it.

Fandom Fire Station, Friday

[designateddadfriend]

There were signs scattered around the lobby of the fire station today. Small ones, hung about four to six inches up from the floor, the counter, the top of the display case. . . .

They all read "Probie for President".

"President of what?" Travis asked.

There was no answer forthcoming.

[I LIVE! Maybe! I'mma do my best to anyway. This post brought to you by Travis's absolutely ridiculous plotline for Station 19 season six.]

Saturday: Plant Parenthood Grand Opening

[mylandmyrules]

Nell had spent the week making sure everything was perfect for today. There were small gift bags with samples of different teas and a small bottle of her hand-made lotion. There were plants and pots and jams and packages with Nell's scone mix - both regular and vegan. There were pots of herbs and Nells' own herbed oils and vinegars. On a table near the front there were samples of the scones and jams and teas to try along with chocolate chip cookies for people who prefered those.

Nell was available to answer questions, take orders for any special teas or lotions people might like, and show off all the different things in the store. When things were quieter, customers might find her two kittens drowsing in the sun or watching them from a high shelf.

At the end of the day, she'd straighten up the store, then head back upstairs to collapse in her kitchen - or maybe up by her greenhouse - and hopefully congratulate herself on a good opening day.
