fandomtownies | Needful Things; Tuesday [01/02].

Summer was kind of digging getting to come into work a little bit later to make room for a Tuesday class, so her mood was pretty good when she got there, ready to do her usual dusting and cleaning and helping the occasional oddball that actually went shopping here. It seemed someone had dropped off a bunch of old brass oil lamps, too, most of them in pretty bad condition, so she made a project out of buffing them up and getting them all shiny again.

She might have gotten a little excited when she started vigorously rubbing the side of one of them and a great big puff of smoke blasted out of the spout. "Holy shit!" she gasped, and started to cough because that was a lot of smoke, and she waved her hand to clear it eagerly, expecting that she'd actually found a genie in one of these things.

But the smoke cleared and there was nothing there. Summer tilted the lamp, hitting it like it was a ketchup bottle as if that would dislodge the genie, then peered inside to see nothing and grunted in distaste.

No genie here, just a dusty ass dirty lamp. Lame.

Needful Things is open!
