Turtle & Canary; Wednesday [04/26].

[sake_shinigami]

The day had started fairly normal, run of the mill, nothing special or spectacular about it, unless you counted Apu rocking a Canadian tuxedo for Denim Day. So there was maybe a brief interlude of checking the internet to see what was available as far as denim kimono went, just to satiate a brief burst of curiosity, but, for the most part, it was a very typical morning here at Turtle & Canary, with Shunsui settling in behind the counter for some nice drinking, some nice napping, some nice flirting with any ladies who may have the misfortune of drifting in....nothing much to see here.

Of course, that all changed quite dramatically, after a while, and swung very hard in the other direction. It started with a crash, over in Aisle Handwavey, which caused Shunsui to frown and give a suspicious look that way. But, no, it wasn't the cheese panda, he could sense him still over by all his cheeses. And then another crash, like someone had swept an arm along an entire shelf and knocked everything that was on it onto the floor. He tried to sense where Apu was, at this point, which was over in the back room, which meant....

Shunsui sighed, adjusted his hat so it was firmly in place, and supposed he'd actually have to work that day and find out what all this was about, and that was when he found the sloth.

Now, the thing about Shunsui was that, despite his lazy and lackadaisical disposition at most time, when it came to fighting, he was actually quite quick, and smooth, and intense. Maybe a bit less on that last one, considering it was just a sloth, and he wouldn't have even bothered being those first other things, either, if it weren't for the fact that the sloth, when it sighted Shunsui, turned its destructive tendencies his way.

Shunsui didn't typically like to fight even when the entire fate of the world was in the balance; he certainly didn't feel like fighting now, but the sloth, as he moved in to try and remove it from the store, had very different ideas. And one wouldn't think that a few scratches sustained in the attempts to extricate such a beast would have that much effect on an undead god (give or take your translation, anyway), and yet....

Before too long, there were then two sloths terrorizing the aisles of Turtle & Canary, albeit very slowly, and one still even managed to keep his hat.

Caritas; Wednesday [04/26[.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Soooo, Summer was having a day.

Well, technically, it had been an afternoon, but when she got the text from Apu saying that Shunsui had apparently turned into a sloth and was tearing down the entire store with some new sloth bestie, she felt compelled to dig up her contract and find where it said this was not her problem. But she knew better, and so she sighed and was just grateful the morning had been quiet enough for her to get her jello shots for tonight finished and setting in the fridge when all this went down and she went down fully prepared to have pink-kimono-wearing sloth clinging to her for the next week or so, and then probably a nice potential lawsuit to dole out once he changed back, because who the fuck else was going to take care of an animaled Shunsui? Amaya?

She did not get paid enough for this.

Of course, when she got to the store, it became pretty clear pretty quickly that this was not your run of the mill animal transformation, because Shunsui (and the other sloth, whoever the fuck that was) had tried to attack her. So that was a whole thing, and thank god she managed to send the Shunsui-sloth into the nice display of parmesan that the cheese panda had set up, because that was not going to sit well with that guy, who promptly knocked sloth Shunsui right out, and then he turned back, though clearly unconscious.

And then there was the other sloth, and by this point, Summer was running late for her Caritas shift, so she decided that they'd figure this out tomorrow, and, in the meantime, they would just drag Shunsui's unconscious body behind the counter (please, like he'd never been passed out unconscious behind the counter before, come on) and then, between herself, Apu, and the cheese panda, they managed to toss the other sloth into the office and lock the door and put a sign on it that said "DO NOT ENTER. WEIRD ANGRY SLOTH INSIDE" and then she left the rest to Apu because she still had another job to go to that night, and if that whole thing was any indication, people might be needing drinks.

She knew she sure did!

So the bar was open, Summer was trying to forget about sloths for a while, and she hadn't even noticed what Tino was up to because, like the narrative said, she had had a day, and could not be bothered.

Streets of Fandom, Wednesday Afternoon

[justalittlerepressed]

The downside of wanting something to do (that hopefully didn't involve bleeding teens, falling from portals in the sky) was that, when it happened, it was never quite what you expected it to be.

Case in point: a lot of calls about animal attacks and no one on scene by the time he got there.

"This is officially weird, right?"

Because it felt weird after the fourth time it happened.

The Park, Wednesday Morning

[gambles_everything]

It was such a nice day.

The solitary pretzel vendor had brought his car out to Fandom's park today from the mainland. The sun was shining so much better here than it was elsewhere, and it was a quiet time for the island. Surely people would be hungry!

He hummed happily in the sun.

And kept humming when the portal opened just ten or so feet in the air above his cart. He was still humming in the second or so before the massive, pandalike beast crashed down on his cart, smashing it to little bits.

He did not notice any of the other strange, feral giants that came raining out of the portal: not the were elephants, not the werejackals, and certainly not the werepangolin.

He was a bit busy screaming in utter terror as the panda bit down into the flesh of his shoulder.

Fandom Trooper Station, Wednesday

[hatesparadise]

Well, something was going on in town if you listened to the calls coming in. The very weird, very annoying calls that Danny was just letting the Troopers sift through for what was real and what was just the Bee Lady being the Bee Lady.

Or the Bee Lady being serious about things.

"Hold down the fort," Danny called, digging out spare supplies from Steve's desk to go join him out in town.

Which would have worked had he not almost immediately been scratched by a crazed looking bear thing the moment he stepped outside. And then there was now a crazed looking weregopher in his place.

Look out, Fandom. There was a weregopher about.
