Turtle & Canary; Friday [12/18].

Well, at least Summer wasn't feeling bored today, but not long after sending Astrid a probably unnecessary text about not bothering to come in for her shift that day, she was even more glad that she'd given her the day off because she'd received a few somewhat panicked texts from Apu that had her grabbing her blaster, hurrying over to the store, and wondering if she should even bother trying to get a hold of Shunsui to come help because she was pretty sure that Apu hadn't bothered and just went directly to her.

The whole problem with a store that sold nearly everything was that when something decided to come to life and attack, there was probably some of that something in the store, which meant a good section of the party aisle had pretty much exploded with inflatable novelties come to life.

Not to mention all the summer time inflatables that were tucked away in the back room, dragged out of their dormant wait until beachy weather by the mysterious pull of the island.

Thankfully, all the fruitcake that Barry had bought them out of on Monday had in fact restocked itself just as she predicted, which meant that they had found another good use for it, and that was building barricades around the store to cut off any aisle that had been invaded in between popping, stabbing, shooting and punching various inflatables until the situation was a little more under control.

Which made Summer sigh and slump behind the counter a little with exhaustion from juggling all that, but still, she just sort of shook her head at Apu, leaning a little on the mop handle she'd been using as a staff.

"Y'know?" she said. "As long as there's no exploding Santas in the sky raining blood on everything again," and, yes, that was earning you a look from Apu, Summer, which....well... "I am seriously good, but what I really want to know is how all of those even got inflated in the first place."
