Fandom Island and Town

The Gig, Tuesday [5/8]

Kris had made a big decision. Ever since she met that little girl a few months ago, she knew her future was with Junior. So she was going to head back to Fremont. She also had a family there, one she needed to work things out with. Plus, she had a feeling Wildfire needed her. It wasn't a hard decision, really.

"I'm going home soon," she said to Duke as she patted his mane. "Be good for everyone, okay?"

She was going to miss the horses here.

[Kris is really leaving the island, so this is sadly her last post for interaction.]

Kris was there like usual on Tuesdays. She fed the horses and groomed them, and then she finished up some of the other stable chores as well. Afterward, she took Smudge out on one of the trails. When she returned, she let all of the horses out into the paddock.

After feeding and grooming the horses, Kris let them out into the paddock. They seemed a bit restless today, so she figured they needed the exercise. While they were out there, she cleaned the stable a bit. It was just another usual day at the Gig. Which was open.

The day at The Gig started out uneventfully. Kris groomed the horses and fed them. Everything was normal. That is until she spotted the weird fuzzy creature in one of the stalls staring back at her.

"Hey there," she said to it, hoping that it wasn't dangerous. "You gonna hang around for awhile?"

The Alot stared back at her looking somewhat impressed. It liked the way she spoke to the horses.

It stayed for awhile, at least until Kris took one of the horses out on a trail.

Kris was in a thoughtful mood when she arrived at the stable. Watching the Kentucky Derby this weekend made her wistful. Betting on a horse race was not the same as actually racing in one.

It also made her miss Wildfire more. She was still seriously considering going back to Fremont to visit him. For now, she took care of the horses here.

Kris arrived at the stable, groomed and fed the horses, and then thought about which horse to take out on one of the trails this time. Kally seemed the most restless, so she was the winner today.

The Gig was open.

FIRE Meeting, Fast Eddie's, Friday 4/16 Evening

As people (hopefully) began to filter in, he stood on a chair to make his little announcement.

"I'd like to thank you all for coming. This isn't going to be a long speech, don't worry. For those that don't know me, I'm Captain John Price. I guess I'm in charge of this little club. Now you'll notice that the staff here aren't charging for the lanes tonight. That's because I worked out a deal. This club will be visiting various establishments around town each week, and we'll basically... show up and have fun. That's about all it's about, folks. Making friends, having a laugh, the simple things. Now you do still have to rent your own shoes, but that's just pittance, ain't it? So feel free to order some refreshment, get bowling, or stop by the arcade. And if you've got suggestions or anything for future meetings, I'll be over there."

He pointed towards the 'Big Game Hunter 3000' arcade machine.

"And that's all the speech you'll be getting. Have some fun already."

The stable seemed a lot quieter without the kids around. Kris couldn't help missing them. Even the horses seemed subdued. Or Kris was just imagining it. Whatever. She took one of them out on the trails, though. Horseback riding always made her feel a little better.

The Park: Monday Evening

The portal to other realities was still there this evening. However the purpose of the portal has now changed.

Instead of bringing children to the island, it was now ready to bring them home to the realities where they belonged.

You can love or hate the portal for this but in either case it's time for the kids to go home.

[Up early for SP and Timezoney goodness! It's your goodbye post to send the kids home. I've got my kleenex ready so have at it!]

Dani considered herself lucky to escape having any rugrats of her own this weekend. That did not stop her from trying to capitalize on the situation. After making a few phone calls to her connections on the mainland, she took delivery on Monday morning of a group of small ponies.

With all the ponies groomed and tacked up, Dani put up a new sign outside.

Somewhere in Town, Saturday Morning

Though she did not work on Saturdays, Kris was still up early. It was a nice day and she wanted to take advantage of it. The best way to do that, in her opinion, was to go horseback riding. She certainly was not expecting anything weird to occur on her way to the Gig. Well, nothing weirder than usual.

She was going to be mistaken.

When Kris arrived at the stable, she noticed that Duke seemed more restless that usual. After grooming and feeding the horses, she took him out on one of the trails. He was pretty damn fast today.

"You trying to be a race horse?" she said, chuckling slightly.

Kris fed and groomed the horses and then took one of them, Smudge, out onto one of the trails for a few minutes. It would have been longer if it wasn't raining. At least it wasn't creepy fog.

Kris really did not want the horses to be left unattended today. She also did not want to go out in that creepy fog, especially knowing it is dangerous. It was times like this she was glad to have a neighbor who can teleport. Not that she wasn't glad to have a hot neighbor. Drake, of course, was kind enough to bring her in today.

Once she was safely inside the stable with the horses, she left a quick voicemail message in response to one left for her.

Kris was so glad that the other farm animals had finally gone home. She was not as glad about the fog. It was preventing her from taking one of the horses out onto the trails. Also, it was making the horses uneasy. That was probably not a good sign.

Kris fed the animals and groomed them. Afterward, she decided to take a break from cows and chickens by taking Duke out on one of the trails. At least Duke didn't try to kick her. She was almost certain the cows were doing that on purpose.

Kris did the usual stable chores, feeding the animals and grooming them. Being around the horses continued to make things normal again. Or as normal as this island could be. She didn't even mind the chickens wandering around.

Dani had reached an uneasy truce with the chickens. While she was working in the office, one of the chickens was sitting on her lap. Every so often, she would grumble, "This wasn't in my business plan." That didn't mean she was about to kick the chicken out of her lap.

Anyone entering the barn might have been surprised to see the other chicken was perched on Duke's back, but like Dani, he wasn't doing anything to get rid of it.

Tino was again alone. While Clark had seen on his calendar that he was meant to open the bar tonight, Superman had other things to take care of.

Things like flying high into the atmosphere to float above the clouds and wish he couldn't hear every infinitesimal sound uttered by the people of this planet. His life was so much harder than yours, really. And later, after returning from that bare moment of quiet to save the day yet again, maybe he'd go stalk Lois.

Tino didn't care. He got a lot more action without help on these nights.

Once Kris got the horses out to the paddock, she tried to get the cows to move, too. They were being too stubborn.

She left them alone and went to feed the llama instead. Of course, that's when the cows started moving.

"Brats," she grumbled.

Kris nearly stepped on the chickens when she arrived today. Once she got them back into their temporary pen, she decided it was a good day to take one of the horses, Kally, out on the trail.

She kinda wished she was in the Bahamas right now. If only to get away from the chickens for a little while.

Kris felt like she was arriving in FarmVille. There were so many farm animals. The chickens, at least, had not gotten out of the pen this time. She did feel like the llama was staring at her, though. She was just relieved she didn't have to harvest any trees.

Kris arrived and got the horses taken care of by feeding and grooming them as usual. She then let them out into the paddock. She'd take one of them out onto a trail, but they seemed to still be snow covered. Next time.

Kris thought about taking one of the horses out on a trail after feeding and grooming them. Instead, she just let them out in the paddock for some exercise. Besides, it seemed she had to clean the stable today.
