Luke's, Thursday
The plan was for Duke to swing through the diner quickly this morning to just make sure everything was shipshape before heading back to the boat to help Lucifer keep Octavia the -- horrifying hyena-beast-thing -- secure.
The plan was being thwarted by the diner being . . . the diner.
"You're here!" Ali said, trying desperately to hold the door to the freezer shut as it banged noisily behind him. "Thank god."
"No," Duke tried. "No, I'm really not."
"Greg and Jimmy," Ali said. "They've been turned into w --"
"Don't care," Duke said, heading for his office.
"-- a moose," Ali was saying when Duke came back out with a bag under his arm. "And the other one, he --"
"Please stop talking," Duke tried, as he paused on an impulse to grab the old prom photo from the first year he and Octavia were together.
"Can you imagine the tongue on him?" Ali said as Duke scanned the walls for anything else he felt he needed to salvage. "I mean, on a normal one it's ridiculous, but on a were, and poor Jimmy --"
"Oh my god you're still going." Duke stared at him. "Why are you still here?"
Ali frowned. "To protect the sacred --"
The glass window at the front of the diner burst suddenly inward as a tremendous ball of spikes came hurtling through it. A tremendous ball of spikes that resolved itself into a vaguely man-shaped hedgehog thing wearing the remains of an FFD t-shirt, with a very distressed looking pitbull trailing behind it at a safe distance.
". . . Run," Duke advised Ali.
"But the sacred --"
The door to the freezer burst open and out came a weremoose and a wereanteater to join the werehedgehog in its rampage. Soon the dining room was on fire.
"Run!" Duke advised again, as Probie herded them both at high speed towards the emergency exit.
"Uh huh!" Ali agreed. "Right behind you, boss!"

"Am I fired?" Ali asked tiredly, as he sat beside Duke on the stairs, watching the fire lick its way up to the loft above the remains of the diner.
"You kidding?" Duke passed him the bottle of bourbon he'd saved from his office. "You're getting a fucking raise. I should have redecorated ages ago."
Luke's was not open. And probably wouldn't be for a little while.
[But the post can be! Especially if anyone wants to fight a fire, a werehedgehog firefighter, or the moddable NPC weremoose and wereanteater!]
