Turtle & Canary; Sunday [08/05].

The machines at Turtle & Canary were truly a technical marvel, from the cash register to the freezing units to the devices for sale that lines the shelves--really, no wonder, with a proprietor like Amaya always ready to tweak a gear or strap on a hose or whatever else needed doing--but none of those machines were so wondrous and spectacular as the Squishy machine. Gleaming chrome, twists and turns of copper pipes and little nests of gears, the one machine she had yet to truly master.

But today was another day. And Amaya felt very good about this particular day, indeed. With Apu there to help, fetching for her tools and parts as needed, limping along and barely even bothered or hindered by his hunchback, heavy jacket, and ornate, precariously perched top hat. She clattered and clanked, sent steam blasting into the air, springs and gears, oil and grease, until finally...finally!

"It's ALIVE! It's ALI_-errr, I mean, I've done it!" Amaya announced as she stood back from her work, a wild manic delight in her eyes. "I've done it, Apu!"

She released a rich, almost cackling laugh of mad delight, pulled up from deep within her and rolling through the shop....right along with a peal of thunder and a flash of lightning.

"Finally! It's not red!"

"Er...but...Miss Amaya..."

"Not red, Apu. It's. Not. RED."

Considering the wild laughter rolling out of her again, Apu decided it was best not to argue, limping off again to sweep something while Amaya....felt her moment.

Turtle & Canary is open!
