Fandom Island Museum, Thursday Daytime

[hasaknightjob]

Steven had no idea what day it was.

Well he knew Thursday. He even knew the date. He had calendars and a mobile and a pocket watch which all helped him keep track of what the day and date were.

But in terms of meaning Steven had no idea. Was that because, as a Brit, he put the day before the month and thus as far as he was concerned this was the 20th of April? Or was it because he was neither now nor ever had been the sort of person cool enough to know what 420 meant other than being a seemingly random number?

Probably easy to guess the answer to that one.

So there Steven was, having a normal day of it at work. When he had a break he took out his mobile to do some personal research, but that was about it.

The Museum was open, with someone behind the Welcome Desk who was no more befuddled than he ever was, really.

Nell knew the date, but not anything about it. Stoner culture was surprisingly not big in her church. Who knew?

But she was here to see Steven, so she greeted him with a smile. "Hello there. How are you doing?"

[hasaknightjob]

"Nell!" Steven smiled as he saw her. "Well, thank you. How about you?"

[mylandmyrules]

"I'm very good," she said. "Expecting to get my bees very soon!"

[hasaknightjob]

"That's wonderful!" Steven said. He frowned, trying to remember. "Did you ever say how they get here? Surely not through a portal with little suitcases in hand?"

Though it was Fandom, that was entirely possible.

[mylandmyrules]

"No, they're shipped in a box," Nell said with a smile, "though your way would be funnier. There's a whole series of things to do once they arrive to get them all settled into their new hive."

[hasaknightjob]

"Of course," Steven said. "They've got to unpack, figure out where they're putting all their kit, get the kettle on for tea..."

He was joking.

[mylandmyrules]

"Just so," Nell said with a smile. "Though the kettle is more a type of sugar water."

[hasaknightjob]

"Is it?" Steven asked, interested. "And they eat that? Or is that like having a coffee? Bit of energy to help get them over jet lag?"

[mylandmyrules]

"It's a food source until they can get established and start using the flowers to get by," Nell said.

[hasaknightjob]

"At which point I know they'll be well in hand," Steven said. "Being around your flowers it'll be like paradise for them. Be telling all their friends about it."

Steven hadn't intended it, then he realized it and said, "Bee telling."

[mylandmyrules]

Nell laughed. "Bee telling. Very funny."

[hasaknightjob]

"Cheers," Steven said. He smiled, proud of himself. "Well can't wait to try the honey when it's ready. Hopefully you can put in a good word for me, tell them I won't let it go unappreciated."

[mylandmyrules]

"I'll make sure to do that," Nell said. "And you can always come watch if you want to."

It had been a while since Lana last saw Steven, and she had some new texts he might like, so she dropped in after lunch, nodding to him. "Hello, Steven. How are you today?"

[hasaknightjob]

"Lana!" Steven waved. "How are you? End of school treating you all right?"

Steven didn't know the exact schedule, but radio seemed to indicate things were winding down shortly.

[unusual_sith]

"It is, thank you." Lana smiled. "And you? Doing well?"

[hasaknightjob]

"Doing all right," Steven said. He gestured to indicate his current situation of being at work. "Enjoying a bit of normal. Well, normal for around here. Feels like ages since things have been on their usual schedule."

[unusual_sith]

"You've had a few holidays recently, haven't you?" Lana asked.

Because clearly that was what he meant, right?

[hasaknightjob]

"Passover, yeah," Steven said. "Lasts a week and you're meant to change your diet while it's on. Llewellyn joined in so we sort of did as much as we could. Popped over to the mainland for services and the like. Think it went well for our first go together."

[unusual_sith]

"That's good to hear," Lana said. "I read up about it a bit when radio mentioned it, and it sounds fascinating. Detective Watts is doing well, I hope?"

[hasaknightjob]

"He has, yeah," Steven said. "He stayed over for the holiday. There's things you're not meant to have about, you see. Figured it was easier to leave all those in his flat and he stayed with us."

And in theory Llewellyn was meant to go back to his own flat at some point but it hadn't happened yet, oops.

"By the by," Steven said. "Heard you helped Nell out after the fire. That's dead handy, you being able to heal."

[unusual_sith]

"I was pleased to be able to help," Lana said. "Should you ever need a healer, let me know. Not that you couldn't simply head to the clinic," she acknowledged, "but you're both my friends. Not to mention Marc seems like the type to baulk at doctors."

[hasaknightjob]

"That's kind of you," Steven said. "We're actually lucky far as that goes. Khonshu's armor heals us up from any damage. Unfortunately we can't loan it out at all. Be handy if I could let a friend borrow my tie and they'd be right as rain again."

Like when certain beaus had been shot in the arm, for instance.

[unusual_sith]

"I know some friends who could use armour like that," Lana agreed. "If you're wounded, then you put it on, will it heal that, too? Or only wounds incurred while wearing it?"

[hasaknightjob]

"It does both," Steven said. "We can still get hurt if we're wearing it. It's not fun either. But it doesn't hurt as much? And then either way it can fix us up no problem. We can come back from the dead now as well."
