Turtle & Canary; Monday [05/20].

[somethingwithturquoise]

When Summer (newly brunette; no, she didn't want to talk about it) came into the store that morning and was immediately greeted with a loud, droning buzzing sound, she immediately just figured the Squishy machine was acting up, but she very quickly realized that, if it was acting it up, it probably had something to do with the fact that it was covered in bees.

"No," Summer stated, immediately, shaking her head, "I don't care what day it is, I am not letting you keep the store covered in bees, Apu."

So after a little bit of confusion where Apu refused to listen to her, claiming that she wasn't his boss while she tried to prove that she actually was, but apparently he didn't recognize her with brown hair, a few calls were made (including to the bee lady), the bees were actually cleared out of the store, save for an enclosed terrarium where Apu could still promote World Bee Day without bees being everywhere, and the day could go on as normal.

"Normal" always being relative, of course.

Summer was still putting up a sign, though, warning people of any loose bees they may have missed.

And, of course, after his classes were finished for the day, it was time for Stewart to make it over to Turtle & Canary to post up in front of the window with his stereo pumping out some tunes that really gave him something to really feel in his dance moves as he started hitting that pavement with his sick stylings.

Typically, Ignis' necessary hyperawareness of his surroundings precluded any gremlins from getting the pounce on him. But they were rather out in full force lately, weren't they? And with his own head a bit more muddle than usual thanks to his stop at the Consortium this week, he truly didn't stand a chance.

A good reminder, then, of how constant vigilance should never falter.

The gremlin was practically there and gone before Ignis could even process what had happened....not that he could have, anyway, after a brief second of wincing and hissing over the sharp burst of pain as the gremlin leaped, took a hold of him, dug his teeth into his shoulders (really, the damage done to his shirt in the process was almost more insulting that the act of being bitten itself!), and then scampered off with what could only be described as a triumphant chuckle. Ignis had perhaps a moment to think on the unfortunate feeling of his first gremlin bite and what the implications of that might be before he heard the music coming from outside Turtle & Canary, and then....

Well, Stewart would no longer have to bemoan the lack of another skid to join him in his dancerly pursuits anymore! Unfortunately, however, as much as Ignis currently thought himself to be some drug-addled lay-about with no real goals in life except wasting time dancing in the parking lots and store fronts of general stores and quick-stop marts at the moment, he still could only seem to dance like this.

A far cry from the dancing he'd just been doing elsewhere, to be sure.
