Making the hat trick, it was also Emma's last shift at Wonka's, which meant she was scrupulously cleaning the store from top to bottom to avoid thinking about where she was going to be next Monday.

Then, when she went into one of the back-rooms, she found it. A giant, life-size bed made out of candy.

"That can't be hygienic."

It was one of those shipments again. Box after box, filled with nothing but black swan-shaped gummies with only the word 'SOON' written on the labels.

Okay, very funny. Emma wasn't sure what whoever it was who kept making up these shipments was trying to say, but she was totally laughing on the inside. Really.

Emma was getting used to finding weird candy and weirder things done with candy when she arrived at work, but this really took the cake.

It was a scale model of a chainsaw, done in gummies, liquorice, and some kind of candy glass, complete with marshmallow logs to cut into. Emma tugged on the 'cord', there mightn't have been a motor, but the chain moved while she was tugging. It was completely ridiculous.

And awesome.

Emma had kept her head down and avoided the weirdness that had been going on last week.

Still, she wasn't entirely surprised when she came to start her shift and found a pillow fort made of giant marshmallows and bags of cotton candy. After this long on the island, something like this made a bizarre kind of sense. A very bizarre one.

As Emma was setting up the displays, she found a whole heap of various kinds of candy with torn or damaged packaging. Too much even for her to squirrel away.

So she did what any normal person would do, started making candy dioramas. Currently a gummy bear army were massing atop their war peeps to attack their jelly-baby foes.

In a shocking turn of events, there wasn't a grumpy clerk behind the counter at Wonka's today. Though since Emma hadn't caught the radio broadcast yet, there was one who was very confused about why there were tiny little protest signs on the gummy display that read "Gummies against gummy cruelty", amongst other, similar slogans.

However, since she wasn't covered in sugar, this was still an improvement on last week.

Emma was having a day of it. Having decided to give the store a good clean, she'd tied her hair back and gotten to it. Everything had been going well enough when she'd tripped and fallen head first into a giant open container of powered sugar.

Why did they even have an giant open container of powered sugar?

Why was there glitter in the powdered sugar?

Why was she wearing all black today?

The red, white, and blue candy was nearly all gone, due less to patriotic feeling and more to being ridiculously marked-down, but Emma had found whole trays of leaf-shaped maple candy that had somehow missed being discounted.

Tragic that. Especially since she couldn't just leave it there.

Amongst the various stock deliveries, there'd been a cooler filled with dry ice and tiny individual tubs of ice-cream with packets of mix-ins.

Lacking a suitable places to put them, Emma was taking care of them the most responsible way she knew how. Or at least she had been, now she was re-reading the packet on what she'd just put in her latest tub. "Who the hell outs pork rinds in ice-cream?"

Apart from her, and on purpose.

When Emma came into work today, there was a new shipment waiting to be unpacked.

She opened the exceptionally large package and snorted in a most ladylike fashion. "Good thing this didn't arrive during the weekend."

Despite spending longer than she'd like (ie. no time whatsoever) as a cygnet (ha. ha.) and having to streak through the town after she'd turned back, Emma was none the worse for the experience as she set up for her shift at Wonka's.

Apart from the fact she kept snacking on sampling from the shop's disturbingly wide selection of gummy insects. Who made a gummy with that many legs? Who?

Emma was back behind the counter at Wonka's, and after restocking the shelves, she took a moment to 'taste-test' some of the wares. A good thing too, because something was wrong.

She double-checked the package. It definitely said milk-chocolate bits on there, but these were all dark, and not just plain dark, the really bitter seventy-eighty-ninety-whatever percent dark that even she was tempted to pass on. Frowning, she opened a packet of what was supposed to be white-chocolate bits. Same thing.

Her frown deepening, Emma started looking around the store, and as far as she could tell (a lot of the stock was wrapped in foil or opaque plastic) every single scrap of chocolate in the place had turned dark.

It was Emma's first shift, and she was dutifully putting away the delivery that had been waiting when she opened the shop. At least until she came to a crate stamped with unfamiliar angular writing.

"...the hell?" Were these gummies armed with little laser swords? And why did half of them have ridiculous hair?

Bucky had finally come to realize that since coming to Fandom, he hadn't been doing most of the things he'd been accustomed to doing for fun back in New York. Like, say, going to the pictures. So when he came to work today, he brought along the day's newspaper, which he then went to read at the counter. Or at least the movie ads. Maybe he could pick out a familiar face and go see something that reminded him of home.

One problem, though.

"I don't know who any of these guys and ladies are."

The HELP WANTED sign was still in the window. Today, it also applied to identifying current Hollywood stars.

(long time no see, whoops, sorry. open!)

The school had instructed everyone going on the fall break trip to gather up at the causeway late on Sunday afternoon.

There was a little designated area for the luggage to the right, while students and teachers could gather up on the left. There'd been an instruction about winter wear in the invite, too - hopefully everyone had complied, considering their destination.

Now it was just a matter of waiting for the portal.

[[ open for all trip-goers. first trip post will go up later today. ]]

Vic rushed into the Trooper Station cursing a blue streak the entire way with only a brief pause to tell Ralph to get the fuck out of her way.

Hey, it was her first morning after experiencing Fandom weirdness directly! She should feel a little freaked out!

A high time was always to be had at George's Gin Joint. Barry "The Brain" Ween always made sure of that. The liquor was always pouring and the casino was always dealing and spinning depending on your choice of games.

And more importantly, the place was always open. You have to love a place like that!

So come on in for a good time and a complimentary drink. Surely you can't pass that up?

Since there was no need for a mid-summer welcome picnic, the administration had splashed out on this one: the tables (located under giant tents) were groaning with sidedishes from corn on the cob to potato chips to baked beans to several dodgy-looking jello salads and the grills were set up along the beach cooking chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, ribs and veggie burgers. There was an ice cream sundae bar, watermelons, enough lemonade and ice tea to swim in (please don't swim in it), coolers for more adult beverages if you were an adult or sneaky about it, and areas roped off for tug of war and relay races and pick-up softball games if people were in the mood to be more active than just stuffing their faces and waiting for it to get dark.

The music was playing loudly--one of the more esoteric of the zombie band's offerings--and the sun was shining. It's hot, it's humid. It's the 4th of July and there's plenty of free food to go around. Come on over!

Now that everyone had survived graduation, it was time to celebrate with brunch foods!

Shhh, tasty traditions were important.

There were tables and chairs set up in the park, along with a buffet of moddable brunch foods. Hopefully, anyone nursing a hangover or multiple hickeys could hide that business in front of their loved ones!

Jim lit a cigarette. It burned ever so dramatically in the afternoon sunlight before the camera panned up to a gorgeous face that was shadowed with secrets and sadness. Jim Kirk could tell thousands of stories without saying a word. He was only on this stupid soap opera until he could get a network television pilot.

But anyway.

The storyline he'd been saddled with meant was stupid but it made for good television. And if it meant moving onto the CW in the future, he'd take it. For now, he was standing on the street corner, cigarette dangling from his fingers while he looked out on the town. He'd been on this same street corner every night for the past week, looking for people who might want a fun night with someone who looked as good as he did. Jim knew he was gorgeous and he made sure whoever had the funds and was willing to pay knew they were gorgeous too. It was what he was good at.

Yes, Jim was a common hooker. Sex for money, that was his thing and he was damn good at it. And he needed the money desperately. Somewhere in the land of off screen-ness, Jim had a family who lived in a small, one room apartment and were only scraping by barely. And Jim had decided to do something about that. His father had abandoned them and his mother worked five jobs just to put food on the table. After finding a cockroach on his face in an episode that Jim had submitted for Daytime Emmy consideration, he'd had enough.

He'd submitted resumes and applications to every single thankless job out there but he'd been turned on so he'd turned to the streets. He'd decided to use body to save his family. If it meant selling his soul, he'd do it.

His family was worth it.

The sun was out, as the sun always tended to be for these things, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Sure, there was a bit of pollen drifting about on the light breeze coming in from over the water, but it was really that time of year, wasn't it? Easy enough to explain something as simple as pollen to any people visiting today. Possibly less easy to explain that feeling that came along with it, of course.

Still, there was food and there were tables, and blue and gold decorations strung up through the park with glitter in abundance.

... Or was that more pollen?

So far it was only drizzling a little, so Kitty decided to hit up the Kwik Stop for a few things. Since leaving the helicarrier, she'd made good on her promise to do some waiting on Clint, and figured that she'd get some things and head back to the house. Plus by all the signs around the place there was some huge sale happening, so it looked like she had good timing there.

Yep, a totally normal day. Surely nothing would be happening, really!


[Post is totally open pre-sharknado. Post-sharknado it's just for those already in the store. Because it's hard to walk into what's basically an aquarium, yo.]
