The Magpie Emporium, Thursday (4/2)
The gremlins had thrown an April Fool's party in here last night after closing, or at least that was how Steph chose to interpret the abundance of very tiny confetti (tiny for confetti at least but still too big to qualify as glitter, in her totally expert opinion) and streamers all over the store.
Plus the spring snakes that kept popping out of the shelves whenever she pulled a book out to relocate it. And the very small whoopee cushion on her office chair.
At least they were classic goofy pranks and not shitty mean ones?
Little Bot trundled by with yet another dustpan full of confetti as Steph picked up another snake and deposited it with all the others in a big utility tote bin. That had a lid that latched shut. Around here, she figured, assuming those snakes wouldn't just turn real was probably a bad idea.
[OOC: Open, but guaranteed slow as I herd cats today.]

Saffron lifted her head and mewed pitifully at Snuggle Human from her perch above the jigsaw puzzles. She hadn't been particularly enamored of the gremlins' surprises. But she'd been perfectly dignified the whole time she was screeching and leaping four feet straight up in the air.

"Hopefully this is more pleasant one. Got your favourite here," she said, passing Steph the box. "And also that pizza you like."

How dare, Steph. That was confetti, not glitter.
no subject
Good thing it was confetti, then.
no subject
Honestly, with as much time as they spent joined at the mouth, even if they did get hit by glitter it wasn't likely that anyone would notice the difference.
no subject
You would continue to kiss the absurd amount you already did.
no subject
None of this was remotely a surprise. Also you would continue to neglect Saffron horribly.
no subject
How was Saffron supposed to endure this trial?
no subject
It was bad enough that Saffron had to deal with this, and then her hunans just had to be even more obnoxious about it with their pretending.
no subject
Didn't they know that Saffron was the one who was truly suffering here?
no subject
Ugh, that would just compound Saffron's suffering.
no subject
Where were Saffron's cuddles? Especially when she really could die from a lack of them.
no subject
Look at that pitiful paw dangling down from Saffron's shelf perch! Look at it!
no subject
Look at how it twitched as the urge to live drained from Saffron's body!
