Fandom Island Museum, Thursday Daytime

[hasaknightjob]

The tiny tomato plant was still a tiny tomato plant. It hadn't seemed to have grown much since last week? Maybe another leaf or two?

Steven took a picture of it and recorded some measurements. He also tried talking to it again in case it was a lost resident. No luck on that end. But at least now he had a reference point for any future changes.

That done, Steven went back to the Welcome Desk for the rest of his work day.

After about a half hour he said, "Bugger" as he remembered he wouldn't be at work next week. He wrote up what he'd found on the plant and left it as a note for Blathers. Just in case.

The Park, Thursday Evening

[joan_of_bark]

Harley was coming to visit this weekend - the joy of knowing she'd be Here as well as There had been enough to cover the pain and discomfort of the past few days. But endorphins could only keep such pains at bay for so long.

Tonight, the discomfort made her restless. She'd been locked up in the lab for whole days at a time, with her own garden the only escape. It didn't fit Pam well. She needed this - the feeling of life around her, persisting.

She strolled through the park in the hour before sunset, a bag of seeds in hand - Stylophorum diphyllum, mainly, but also other native flowers that would settle in the soil during the winter and rise come spring. Every now and again, she'd stop, check the soil, and spread them.

Sometimes the cure for impending fatalism was just this: planting seeds in fall, and with them, the hope of joy in spring.

The Devil's Nest, Thursday Evening

[ifwebeworthy]

Tiny kept trying to change the special on the board and Thor kept having to threaten him with Mjolnir.

Possibly this was because the special on the board was:

SPECIAL
BEER. Just Beer.

C'mon, Thor! Surely it could use some pumpkin spicing up!

As Tiny reached for the chalk again, Thor let the lightning crackle."No," he said sternly.

The god of thunder is no fun, and the Devil's Nest is open!

Pixie Dust; Thursday [09/25].

[even_bigger_teeth]

Luma was currently shifting through the stock of gloves that they had in the store, specifically trying to find a good pair of red leather ones without any fingers. Driving gloves, really, which she realized could be useful one day, especially as she now envisioned herself quite the stylish driver behind the wheel of some convertible, the wind blowing through her hair and the trail of a dynamic red scarf. Iconic, really.

But that was getting ahead of herself. First things first, she needed to find a pair of the gloves she was looking for, because she'd become mildly obsessed with a look she saw coming from Laquan Smith this year, and was desperate to recreate it for....well, she didn't quite know for what yet, but those gold nails immediately called to her and she needed them.

So, if anyone needed help, Luma might be a bit distracted, but she was certainly here.

Pixie Dust is open!

The Perk; Thursday Afternoon [09/25].

Sometimes, it was the little things you missed. Like sitting in a coffee shop with your laptop working on some business stuff, because, yes, there were coffee shops on Ravnica, but did you think Summer wanted to deal with having to explain to people about laptops? Especially with the Izzet League around? That was a can of worms she was only going to open in the case of a dire dead battery situation (and, yes, she had a contingency plan in place for exactly that occurrence).

But while she was in Fandom for her class, she didn't have to worry about that at all! And she did still have a business here to keep an eye on, too, although, let's be honest, T&C definitely always managed to take care of itself even without anyone to manage it. But it was good to keep Apu and Prompto and the cheese panda on their toes and to remind them that she was still signing their checks.

Also? PSL. Come on.

Which also....she might not be ready to deal with poisoning the well with laptop technology, but pumpkin spice, on the other hand...She could put in a few orders through the shop today, and, if she did decide to stick around for Parents' Weekend, it could get here by Monday and she wouldn't even have to deal with any extra portals!

Ugh! Why was she just so good at this???

[[ I'm likely going to be SLOW due to work, but post is absolutely open for all your perkly needs! ]]

The Photo Hut - Thursday

[flamesburned]

Liz was still feeling a bit tired but she was also feeling a lot better than she had been and she was looking forward to Parents Weekend.

So she was trying to work on as much of the end of month reports as she could and make sure that all of the work she needed to get done was finished before the weekend.

[The Photo Hut is open!]

Trooper Station, Friday

[pocketpretzels]

The Troopers had gotten hold of some toy race cars and were spending time in between fielding calls about thieving lawn gnomes and flamingos with threatening auras by playing with them.

Though not by racing them, no. They'd also found two miniature soccer goals and a soccer ball, and were using the cars to try and knock the ball into the goals.

Watts was inclined to let them, so long as they actually responded to the aforementioned calls in a timely manner.
