Furnado Animal Shelter; Wednesday [10/29].

[hashtag_chocobro]

It was great to see the animals all in a great mood that morning from the extra visit and attention they'd gotten from Stark's class yesterday; Prompto was a little bummed that he'd gotten so wrapped up in Noctra's album project that he'd lost track of time and missed it, but the vet filled him in on some key details, and that kind of stuff just warmed his heart. He really wished more people would just pop in, even if it was just to play with a puppy or pet a cat or chat with the birds. It really made a huge difference!

And after he came in and took care of this and that around the shelter like he usually did, he and Noctra settled in for a bit of a photography lesson, since there were plenty of cats here, too, like the ones she'd tried to take pictures of at the BPRD over her weekend visit.

"Now, you see, Nugget, it's important to try and frame your subject right in the mid--hey! Wait, hold on!"

The cat in question had turned and stalked away the moment he was about to take the picture. And this continued to happen throughout the day enough that he realized that he may have forgotten that cats rarely made photographing them easy on a person, and he may have been a little quick to jump on it being a skill issue on Noctra's part.

Although, also, to be fair, she was only two and a half. That, combined with the natural tendency of cats to kind of be total butts?

"You know what?" he patted her head a little. "You're doing a great job, kiddo. We'll definitely just save the Rule of Threes for when you're actually three."

She seemed way more interested in making faces at the fishes and telling them about Abe in excited rambles, anyway.

Furnado is open!

Pick Your Poison, Wednesday

[witchoftheflesh]

"I really don't think this is for us," Adrian told the delivery guy. "It's probably for the Perk. You know, the place that sells coffee?"

The delivery guy kept unpacking the items for delivery.

"No really," Adrian continued. "What makes more sense? That that's supposed to say Perk, you know, the coffee place, or Pick, a place that sells bath stuff and cosmetics?"

He could have been talking to a wall for all the mind the delivery guy was paying him.

"Don't you at least wanna call back and check, just to save yourself from coming back here and having to pick everything back up again?"

His handcart unloaded, the delivery guy headed towards the door with an uncaring whistle. He was done for the day. Maybe he'd go and check out that new Tom Cruise movie.

And anyway, that was how Adrian ended up with a stack of pumpkin spice non-dairy creamer by the register, enjoy a complimentary bottle with each purchase!

The Streets of Fandom, Wednesday

[deathsmajesty]

Sure, it was a little last minute to be hanging these up (or, rather, to be watching as someone else hung them up), but while Liliana and Tony had thrown themselves into planning the joint Halloween party with a fervor, it had taken Ignis' dry reminder of practicality before Liliana actually thought to invite people to it.

Listen, by this point she just assumed you all knew what you were doing on Halloween. But anyway...

Over Easy, Wednesday

[napking]

Gray had totally shown up reasonably close to the start of his shift at Over Easy. Totally. He swore. Don't listen to anyone who told you otherwise, and ignore the pillow creases still visible on his face.

Look, he was here, okay? Take the win.
