Atlas Gym; Tuesday [06/20].

For a brief moment, Gladio almost lost it when he was just going about his gym business for the day and he heard a squeaking sound echoing through the place. Because they had all been very thorough in going through every square inch of the place (it was kind of impressive, really, how big this place was compared to what it looked like from the outside) to remove all the chickens (save for the one now hanging up on the wall in the lobby with the sign that said 'Incidents of Chicken Sabotage Will Be Prosecuted With Extra Pushups and Extra Laps') from the equipment, the mats, the punching bags...

...but it turned out that one of the employees had just gotten new shoes that squeaked when she walked.

"Why?" Gladio had to ask, even if to no one in particular except for his lunchtime Cup NoodleTM. "Why would anyone do that?"

Atlas is open!

Blackstone Foundry and Forge; Tuesday [06/20].

The little weapon hair clips that Amaya had custom-made for herself and for Irene for the gala last weekend had actually been getting some attention on her Instagram, so, naturally, Amaya was eager to jump on that potential revenue service by whipping up a few more and putting them on her online shop. As such, she was working at a table today instead of the anvil, putting some finer details on some new ones that she'd just forged up over the past few days. Which involved quite a bit of stooping over her work and squinting a little bit because someone still refused to just put on her damn glasses for finer work sometimes.

But she wanted to get these last custom ones done pretty quickly, because then she was going to move onto making a mold for the base and basic weapons shape to make some quick and easy standard ones that could move a little quicker.

The Forge is open!

Luke's Diner; Tuesday [06/20].

Unbeknownst to Ignis (although he might have had a few suspicions, because he could sometimes pick up some whispers over the clatter of kitchen activities), there was a betting pool for how many cups of coffee he was going to drink that day.

So far, almost everyone had underestimated it significantly.

But it was quiet and Ignis was thoughtful in thinking of some new recipehs, and eventually the whispers started to turn toward who could actually drink the most coffee between Ignis and Miguel.

There probably wasn't enough coffee in the world, really.

Tuesday: Plant Parenthood

Nell and the kittens were hard at work today. Seedlings were being repotted, teas and lotions were being made, and her stock was being reorganized to better showcase the new items.

And she might just have used her new holocomm to contact one of her Mandalorian friends to discuss good times for visiting.

In any case, Plant Parenthood was open and Nell and the kittens were there for whatever you needed.

Trooper Station | Tuesday

Diego rolled into work a little late today (it's not like anyone was going to notice), having spent some extra time on his morning run before it got hotter in the day. When he finally arrived there were two troopers having a slap fight over a stolen Twix bar.

Made for some good entertainment for once, so Diego was happy to sit back and watch.

Fandom Fire Station | Tuesday

Buck had been warned about the goose, so he came in to work today ready to potentially fight a bird if necessary. Only the goose wasn't anywhere to be seen when he got in.

Which was actually scarier. It could be anywhere.

[Open]

Magic Box | Tuesday

There was a shipment of crystal balls that needed to be unloaded. Despite everything she had seen, working crystal balls was not something she really believed in. But she was careful taking them out anyway. No need to piss off any spirits living in there if they were home.

[Open]

The Devil's Nest, Tuesday Night

"You've been making candy vodka."

Tiny nodded.

"Why are you making candy vodka?"

Tiny looked up at him, brows raised.

"Right, fair enough, terrible question," Lucifer agreed. "Give me some of the candy vodka absolutely right this minute."

The Devil's Nest was open, and full of sugar.

[[ sp later tonight, however! ]]
