Infinite Consortium, Monday

[deathsmajesty]

Scrolling through her phone this past weekend while Ignis had negotiated interest rates with an Orzhov functionary (if it had been the advokist they'd met at Teysa's party, Liliana would have been tempted to tease him by calling it flirting rather than negotiating), had given her a delightful new idea for a surprise present. So, rather than actually doing any work around the Consortium, she was sitting behind the counter working on that. She technically had two employees, surely they could handle... anything that required handling.

Trooper Station, Monday, August 25

[grenadesandohana]

"I'm sorry that you don't like extremely hoppy IPAs," Steve was telling the irate person on the other side of the phone call, "but it's not actually illegal to put eight different forms of it into a beer."

He listened patiently. "Well. Soon it'll be time for pumpkin ale?"

That, apparently, was not the right answer, and now Steve was getting another earful.

The Trooper Station was open. Please don't have an opinion about seasonal beer.

The Devil's Nest, Monday Night

[texted3times]

Eric was not behind the bar tonight, thank you very much, and Tiny's coconut fort had gotten...almost defensible.

(Eric could read a calendar, and something always showed up around this time. Not that he would be hiding in a coconut fort, thank you.)

"I'm not drinking a piña colada," he told his bartender. "Nor will I get caught in the rain...and now I'm earwormed. I hate you."

Tiny made it worse by putting that song on repeat over the sound system.

The Devil's Nest was open, and the drinks probably weren't strong enough to make up for the soundtrack tonight. Sorry.

Out and about around Fandom, Tuesday afternoon

[knightinshinarmor]

Lucifer (the cat), Oliver, and Figaro had been living on the island more than long enough no to feel like they pretty well owned the place. Midnight was, after some wordless debate, willing to let them roam so long as they always came home at the end of the day and didn't try to hunt too much native fauna (or adopted fauna, leave that porg alone, Oliver!). Which was nice, since there were only so many different ways that a trio of cats used to occasionally zapping around the galaxy with other superhero pets could entertain themselves in a rented room, even one that could shift endlessly to suit their needs.

Which was all to say, Lucifer (the cat), Oliver, and Figaro were On the Prowl.

(And anyway, Oliver was just playing with that porg! They're friends, okay?)

They swung by the racoon brewery, wandered through the radio station, and were now headed down Godiva on the trail of an elusive gremlin when they happened across a few felines who clearly were not simply kings of their own island, but maybe needed a bit of guidance.

And thus did Remy LeBeau's hoard of cats expand -- temporarily -- by 100%. Remy would be utterly bemused to discover the three extra felines curling up on the cat tree when he got home this evening, but that one cat especially just looked so pathetic, how could he turn them away?

In the meantime, well. That porg was not having its best day.

[I mean, mostly I am just amused by superhero pets going adventuring. But yes, also this can be open. Especially to other island animals!]

Pizza Planet, Monday

[carbsliftthespirit]

Raiden had finished writing the specials board for Pizza Planet and stepped back to admire it when he noticed there was a theme.

A very bacon-y theme.

Specials
Bacon & Crab Pizza
Summer Mushroom Pizza with Bacon & Pistachio Herb Vinaigrette
Zucchini Bacon Pizza

"Huh. Well, I'm not mad at it," he decided, then called back toward the kitchen, "Hey, make sure you prep some extra bacon. For snacks."

Pizza Planet is open! And full of bacon.

The Magpie Emporium, Monday [25/08]

[giveittoyoursister]

Break weeks always had Vi at feeling a bit at odds with herself, like this was when they'd finally realise she wasn't supposed to be here or that something was going to happen.

At least she had plenty of work to keep herself occupied, especially because Saffron was still demanding she make up very moment of attention that she'd decided Vi had failed to give her.
