Post office, Thursday
Tip was tempted to go out and explore the new planet -- it seemed kind of delightful, really, and the radio made it sound like it had some friendly local wildlife -- but the last time she'd gotten involved with anything that brightly colored, she'd wound up an orange. Besides, if she adopted any more aliens, her mother might disown her.
So instead, she was at work. Attempting to explain to a customer why his package was delayed.
"It looks like there was some sort of portal mix-up," she said. "It happens. I don't think the portals are quite an exact science yet? It should be here tomorrow, though."
Which got her a forty-five minute rant about package delays and specimens and something about tadpoles and a "monthly frog subscription". At the end of which Tip looked at him, total deadpan, and asked if he had all his proper interdimensional live amphibian transport customs forms in order.
She had no idea if such a thing even existed, but it was worth it to see the interesting colors he turned before storming out.
