Still no Tino, and he wasn't answering his phone. And the zombie drummer was out. They of course were no help, because, you know, zombies. Everything was probably fine, but Kitty was becoming bothered.

And the band just sounded weird with no percussion. It just did.

Steve was in the office as usual on Monday, working hard and ignoring the expectant silence radiating off the Troopers.

"What?" he finally asked, looking over at them and the piles of plastic eggs on their desks. "We're not doing an egg hunt. You're grown-ass adults."

The Trooper Station was open and no fun at all, Steve.

The new-mama cat and her litter were doing quite well and had been moved to a larger cage, to accommodate the little ones' slowly increasing desire/ability to explore their surroundings.

And if Caleb didn't know better, he'd swear the semi-feral Kitten (whom he'd taken to calling Samantha, and who was becoming less feral by the day) was getting a little jealous of the attention he was giving them. She no longer hissed at him when he approached, allowed him to give her scritches even, but still balked at being handled. And she meowed any time he seemed to be looking in the direction of the youngins.

"You're still my favorite, kid." he assured her. "Us strays gotta stick together, right?"

All of Rey's tools were Twizzlers today. She didn't know why, and she knew she couldn't fix it, so she didn't care. But everything was Twizzlers, and therefore unusable today. They were too floppy.

She was still trying to get work done by using things like pens in lieu of her tools. It was the principle of the thing.

Gregorith had been given the option by Blathers to take the day off, but Gregorith had most of the week off so he'd opted to come in for at least a few hours in the morning.

He'd spent the first hour hiding candy and small toys (some of which he'd made himself) throughout the museum, and put a sign out front inviting folks to come hunt for them.

The Museum is open for knowledge seekers, or the hunting for munchings, crunchings, or small things to put on your shelves or desks.

~~though tis the day of the big fambly gathering for the mun so I will likely be afk for a big chunk of the day. Happy Spring Holidays everyone!~~

I was teaching honestly from the recorded myth!

"Mm-hmm," Thor agreed as he organized the glasses behind the bar. "You will apologize to the goats."

I didn't say anything bad about Toothgrinder and Toothgnasher, Don lied through his teeth. I love Toothgrinder and Toothgnasher. He didn't bother pointing out that the goats weren't alive to need his apologies at the moment. Maybe by the time they were alive again Thor would have forgotten.

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.

The phone was ringing off the hook today, but the conversations were more and more confusing.

"Is my refrigerator running?" he repeated. "What fridge? Do you mean the one in my Grove or the one here in the shop? Hello?"

"Do I have Prince Albert in a can? What's that? Is that some kind of body wash? Hello? Hello?"

"You're looking for...you said his first name was Ollie? Last name Tabooger? Excuse me, is there a Mr. Tabooger in the store? Mr. Tabooger? No, I don't think that there's anyone here by this name. Have you tried--hello?"

This is what happens when you were raised in a forest with a coven that pretty universally hated April Fools. You spent the whole day bewildered.

It was finally warm enough out for Gregorith to go for a walk after dark. He suspected it was a trap, that the temperature tomorrow or the next day would plummet again, but for now it was quite pleasant.

So after enjoying a meal, a succulent Mexican meal, he sat on a bench with his leftover nachos, silently daring the seagulls to try to steal any.

He would however be willing to share with any passers by.

Today was warm and sunny, so Sairis propped the door open as he did a bit of cleaning. Not that the place needed much, but it was something to do, and it was soothing work. Then he took some time to learn what some of the newer artifacts were. There were things he'd never remotely heard of, and he was definitely taking notes.

The shop was open!

Tino was still out. He hadn't requested vacation or anything, he just texted Kitty again to say he wouldn't be in. Which was fine- he really was here all the time, he could take a break.

That did not stop Kitty from spending her shift making up reasons he could be out. Family reunion? Pet illness? Kidnapped in a foreign country? Dead in a ditch somewhere? The possibilities were endless.

Liliana blinked slowly at the earnest young man in front of her, not unlike a cat watching human nonsense and feeling vastly superior to it all. "We don't buy, we sell," she explained, cutting through his impassioned diatribe. "We especially don't buy--what are you attempting to foist off on me, exactly?" She'd tuned him out rather quickly, yes.

"Magic cards!" the young man insisted.

"You can keep your magical cards, I am not a purveyor of cheap tricks and legerdemain," Liliana said, pointedly picking up her book again. That was your cue to leave, youngling.

But, of course he did not, continuing to harass her about this sorcerous deck of his or whatever, at least until she had her haunted armor bodily pick him up and remove him from the shop.

"Everyone had better be happy about this," Liliana informed the nearest rodent, writing this all down. "I could have had another shop zombie instead."

Anyway, back to her book.

The gremlins were sword fighting with coffee stirrers. It had been amusing when Rey had stopped to get her coffee, but now it had spread into Rey's area.

Now it was annoying, and she'd had to ask multiple times for them to at least let her work. So far, it wasn't happening.

"Mortal weather is bullshit." Gregorith grumbled. At least it wasn't quite as cold as it was yesterday morning but this flip flopping of temperatures had him making copious notes on the proper way to treat corporate CEO's (who he was given to understand were at least partially responsible for climate change) when they arrived in Hell.

On the other hand maybe having someone with "boots on the ground" so to speak was a good thing. It was wonderful that the Universe did the heavy lifting when it came to judgement, but some first hand experience with the results of rampant greed and cruelty was giving him an all new perspective.

"Okay enough of that." he thought out loud. "Euterpe, play some Jimmy Buffet if you please." (He'd brought a device from home that functioned like an Alexa.)

A song about longing for the tropics fit his mood perfectly and accompanied him as he double checked the display upstairs commemorating some of the vacations Fandom students had taken.

"It does get nice in here, doesn't it," Henry mused. "In the cold days, I mean. It's going to be absolutely wretched in summer."

Mutt barked at him as he moved the axehead into the fire.

"But for now, it's quite comfortable."

He did not get any further reply.

Caleb had gotten up seen that it was raining, and suddenly remembered he'd been meaning to buy an umbrella. So rather than let himself forget again he decided to go ahead and take care of that, and now here he was, brand new umbrella in his hand, taking pictures of the playground equipment in the rain, because pathos.

Watts came in to the Station to find a squirrel, raccoon, and a teal deer all asleep in the cells.

Well. Technically the squirrel was in a cat carrier. Watts kind of hated how much sense that made, because of course they'd have a solution for how to deal with a squirrel the Troopers had to detain overnight.

I don't think I did that bad.

"Indeed," Thor had to agree. Don had been as neutral as one could hope in regard to what was a very delicate subject for them. "I do not believe I suggested otherwise.

Tiny had just accepted that the god was talking to himself again. It wasn't the weirdest thing that had ever happened in this place.

Morning at the Museum found Steven on the phone.

"No," he said, apologetically. "No, I'm sorry. I'm sure your artifacts are lovely but we're very specific in our curation here. Fandom related items only.

"Would I like to - " Steven frowned. "Trade? I don't think you understand how museums work. No, no, I appreciate that you somehow have duplicates but again we're Fandom specific. Not even sure where yours are hailing from. The Google's not showing me anything. Don't think you're from any version of Earth I'm aware of, even if you do sound French."

"What's Ear - " Steven cleared his throat. "Right. I think we've perhaps already said to much. Sorry I couldn't help, good luck with your endeavors. Cheers."

Steven hung up. He made a note of the call in case Blathers might be interested in it, but otherwise went about his work day.

He was behind the Welcome Desk should anyone have need of him or museum-related things.

It wasn't often that Gregorith had had to deal with a meeting that could have been an e-mail. It was one advantage to having an Admin Department that was headed by an extreme introvert. But every now and then they wanted the masters of each level of Hell to touch base and Gregorith had needed to attend via zoom.

He didn't feel like much had gotten done work-wise, and then it was followed by a wordy request from Leviathan for a comprehensive report about Fandom.

So he apologized to the barista when they recoiled slightly. "Long morning." he'd said. "I'm not mad, just tired." He hadn't worried about his resting stab face for a while. Le sigh.

But a large mocha frapp with two shots of espresso plus a delicious warm brownie was starting to mitigate the effects.

Sairis was beginning to think he might need some more clothing. There was only so many times you could wash the same two outfits, and anyway neither of them was really meant for this weather.

Hopefully someone would buy a potion or ward today.

He made tea in a fit of optimism, and locked the chair in the back room.

It was an extremely quiet day. Even Tino had the night off, so Kitty couldn't fall back on the usual bored drink experimentation without it looking kind of sad.

If she got to the point of hitting up the mechanical bull...

The Semi-Feral kitten was becoming less so every time Caleb saw her. She'd apparently stopped hissing and swatting at the rest of the staff whenever they came to feed her and change her litter, and she was letting Caleb pet her, though not pick her up.

Meanwhile the new mother had her paws full with her kids, who's eyes were open and were starting to attempt to explore. She kept a close eye on anyone who came by to check on the kids but also seemed very cool with a bit of a break from said babies.

Meanwhile the dogs were really digging the warmer weather, even one old timer who just wanted to go from relaxing in his kennel to relaxing in the shade in the exercise yard.

"Why'd y'all name him Morgan Freeman?" Caleb asked one of the volunteers. "That seems like a very specific reference."

He got a lot of movie recommendations from that conversation.

Rey hadn't slept especially well last night, so she'd decided to camp out in the Perk for a bit today. She had to clean up some of her notes anyway, so she was seated at a table, writing in a notebook.

It was harder to do when a bored barista kept coming over to clean near her. Rey had had to move her feet twice now so she could mop. She felt like maybe they were trying to annoy her out of the shop, but she'd so far decided that wasn't happening.
