Buck was having some trouble logging on to the station's computer this morning. It kept saying his password was wrong, but he was sure it was right. Fine, whatever, he'd reset his password if that's what you wanted, computer.

"New password can't be the same as old password," Buck read. "What the hell?"

You'd think Buck and Eddie would learn they had bad luck at the beach. Or good luck depending on how you viewed emergencies. Either way, if they were at the beach it was best to steer clear or have your phone out because something cool was going to happen.

"It's so freaking hot, dude."

It was a nice day out so Buck had the station doors open, allowing a nice breeze to come in. It made the dull paperwork he had to catch up on a little less torturous.

The firehouse was all ready for guests, cleaned as much as humanly possible and organized within an inch of its life. Which meant it was time for people to come in and mess all that up.

But, you know. Lovingly.

And just across the way at Selkie Lake, the food and the general mingling place was all set up for people. Because it was time for the First Responder's Memorial Day Barbecue!

Buck certainly hadn't ordered the three giant boxes of super soakers that were on the doorstep of the fire station when he came in this morning. That would be a irresponsible use of taxpayer money. However, since they were already here, he might as well test them out.

Looks like they found a new activity for the open house when they had it.

firehousehimbo: ([h] what was that again)

Buck had a "shout if you need a firefighter" sign up at the reception desk. Today he was spending his shift in the kitchen, trying to perfect Bobby's chili. Between the practice chili and the actual chili...well let's just say there was going to be a lot of chili eating at the Buckley-Diaz home.

Well, planning an open house was turning out to be a real headache when it came to ordering stuff to give out. There were grants and stuff for the smoke/CO2 alarms, but the rest? Pain in the ass.

But all of that was serving as a good distraction from answering the email from this Frank guy about a teleconference session like Bobby had suggested for him. Even though he was fine and didn't need therapy.

So, ordering plastic firefighter hats it was.

Well, the ice cream place saw an influx of people yesterday and apparently had wanted to capture that zeitgeist, but was going about it with some, well, shall we say interesting new flavors.

Why was the fire department there? Well, someone decided to take that new flavor as a challenge. And now here they were. It was an actual call, though! Ignore how excited Eddie was to have to deal with this.

Since it was finally feeling like spring, Buck took it upon himself to do some spring cleaning in the station. The place was already remarkably clean (they didn't have much to do here), but he could check the supplies and junk anything that was expired.

They would totally pass an OSHA check if one came.

Buck's plans to clean the rig today were dashed when he saw how cold it was, so instead he was relegated to paperwork. Which meant he was kind of pouting at the reception desk today. Paperwork sucked unless there was a clipboard involved.

It might not have snowed again today -- yet -- but that wasn't gonna stop Annie from leaning wholeheartedly into Midwest Aesthetic. She was fully rocking a puffer vest and a Carhartt beanie like she was back in Iowa, and maybe she could be forgiven for the way she kept darting to the door to peek out and see whether -- nope. No more yet.

It took Buck waaaaay too long this morning to realize there was stuff in his shoes. He was at work, in fact, when he finally took his shoe off and saw his sock was covered in melted chocolate. Whoops.

Well. Good thing they rarely had emergencies so it was no big deal for him to walk around barefoot all day.

Buck gave a little wave to the novelty talking fish when he came in for his shift today. He still wasn't 100% sure if it was sentient or not, but best to be polite anyway. He sat down at the reception desk and immediately got on his phone to dick around since it didn't seem like much would be going on.

He did make sure to face the phone away from the fish when he happened to get on Amazon to put something in his cart. He didn't think it'd approve.

Ohdeargodlord Buck was so hungover. He hadn't had that much Fireball since his early 20's. Why did Eddie let him do this? Oh, right. The waffles. The waffles were worth it.

Buck was here, but he was wearing sunglasses at the reception desk and may or may not be asleep.

Just because Christopher was too cool to do a group costume this year that didn't mean Buck and Eddie couldn't do a theme. So he would be spending his shift looking up couples costumes.

It was a crisp yet none-too-chilly September afternoon in the Park, the weather as always perfectly nice to fit the island's general ideas about what these events would be like.

The theme in the park seemed adorably retro, perhaps best seen in the massive banner that hung above:

It was a quiet day at the station (shocker), and Buck was spending his time at the reception desk, trying to lean Spanish on his phone. It was going well so far, but he really hadn't gotten past a first grade level so it wasn't that impressive.

Buck was spending his shift at the reception desk, googling how much those mist machines they had at amusement parks cost. If it was going to be this hot in September he was going to see if they could use fire station funds to be comfortable.

There had been a delivery of a bunch of road salt to the station today. Which seemed kind of cruel to do, considering how hot it was. But, lifting the bags and putting them in storage until winter seemed like a good work out so Buck couldn't really complain.

Now that it didn't feel like the world was melting, Buck actually had the motivation to do some manual labor around the station today. Namely by washing the rig. Just because it wasn't melty it didn't mean it wasn't hot. It was August, after all.

Which was actually scarier. It could be anywhere.

Steve had let Tony do the decorating for the party tonight, so there was no chance at all that anyone walking through town wouldn't see that there was a party at the renovated Stark…Mini Tower? Tallish Building?

There was a red carpet (because that's what all of the galas Tony and Steve were invited to had) on the sidewalk outside that led to the open glass doors, through the renovated shop area (with a sign pointing out that the new second floor maker space would be available to anyone in the mood to invent whose name wasn't Beaker), and to the elevator that would take them to the third floor ballroom.

Because, much to Steve's chagrin, they had a ballroom that took up almost an entire floor. Enormous windows filled the room with light from outside and offered a pretty view of the castle. The walls were decorated with enlarged, professionally matted and framed drawings of the Avengers that kids had sent to them over the years (and a Jackson Pollock Tony was trying to pass off as a picture of Wanda and Scott made by a small child. Steve was letting him get away with it).

There was a stage across from the windows with space for Steph's DJ equipment (and also room for the small-ish non-zombie orchestra for when Steph took breaks. The stage had looked much smaller on the blueprints when Steve had approved them.) and the dance floor was spread out before it. A Chihuly glass sculpture hung over it in Iron Man colors of gold and red. (Tony was Tony.)

Silent waitstaff were passing moddable high-end appetizers, but because Steve could spend his entire night eating passed appetizers and still be hungry, there was more substantial food just off to the side of the dance floor.

The room--and the couple welcoming you--was a mixture of the practical, the beautiful, and the casual misunderstanding of just what things cost. Welcome to the new Stark…Towerlet? Was that a thing? Steve and Tony were so glad you came.

Buck was absolutely nailing (or not nailing, depending on how you looked at it) going to LA when shit went down here. It was probably for the best. Buck wasn't sure if he'd be any good at fighting animals. He was too soft-hearted and would probably try to befriend them.

He was still trying to befriend them in case there were any stragglers, leaving some cat food outside the station.

The fire station didn't seem to realize Earth Day was over because when Buck came into work this morning there were a ton of plants hanging around. He wasn't sure if he was supposed to take care of them or get rid of them. Seemed like kind of a nuisance to have to maneuver around a Ficus in an emergency. But what about the principles of Earth Day?

He might just let this problem be handled by someone else.

Annie, of course, knew what today was, even if she wasn't someone who had ever partaken of such a holiday. But you didn't get to be a superhero who enforced the law without knowing police lingo! Plus it was Hitler's birthday! Who didn't love a fun historical fact?

So she was ignoring the date in favor of going through the super-weird sodas they offered here, since she was staring down the barrel of a whole lot of milkshakes and Diet Cokes for her shift drinks for the foreseeable future.

Tonight was easy enough; she'd chosen Ramune mostly because it said sangaria across the top of the label, and that was close enough to sangria that she was curious enough to try the orange one.

She was not prepared for the marble, and was now going to spend all night playing with her drink like a mature person.

The flea market had been wrapped up, and as twilight fell over Fandom and most folks made their way down the streets to whatever they were up to for the rest of their weekends, peace seemed to descend over the abandoned warehouse district once more. The balloons were floating at half mast or lower now, and most of the fliers had been taken down or pulled down. The abandoned warehouse was returning to its natural, fallow state.

But it is the way of the universe to tend towards chaos and decay. And buildings left fallow were no exception to the rule.

An old wire sparked. The spark caught. A fire started. It spread.

So after the Snake Incident, both Buck and Eddie were not exactly chomping at the bit to hang out back at the station. So a walk around the island it was, looking for sus things. The last time it happened they ran into a half-dead teenager, which had been an interesting change of pace.

What were the odds of that happening twice?

So Buck knew there was a snake in here somewhere. Or snakes, which was an even scarier prospect. So he was going around opening all the cabinets and drawers in the joint with a net in his hand like he was actually going to capture this thing alive.

Was him yelling "AH HA!" every time he opened a cabinet necessary? No. But it was fun.

Buck had been taking a daily Zyrtec for years now, so he was acting totally normal this week. He wasn't completely oblivious, however, and did notice that Eddie was working out more than usual and that he actually was getting some interesting calls.

He had been on a call to get someone out of handcuffs before, but three in one day was a record.

He was whirling the three sets of handcuffs through his fingers as he got back to the station. Weird how everybody was too embarrassed to take them back. The furry ones were cute!

Once more, Irene could hardly help but feel that she had outdone herself – though she could also quite easily admit she'd had help.

This year, she'd eschewed the usual fluffy Valentine's theming and had instead leaned full-force into having a hookup (ahem) with the blacksmith – every surface was decorated again with beautifully-detailed steel roses, featuring occasional pops of color amongst their petals, and intricate metallic vinework decorated the columns, displays, light fixtures and countertops. Discreet enough to be classy but prominent that there was no missing it, Irene had also affixed little signs crediting Amaya for her work, with accompanying business cards for all your blacksmithing needs.

Off to one side, there was a completely moddable NPC bartender Irene had hired off the mainland, well-stocked with thematic drinks, and to another little side was a table that would almost certainly be described in much more detail in the comments, featuring Summer's shots of varying…shapes.

Tables draped with red and pink satin accents were distributed through the store with the requisite sex-shoppy displays on them -- massage oils near the entrance, vibrators, plugs and dildos up in the middle, and the more intense gear towards the back. Naturally, some of those steel roses were laid out artfully amongst the toys, perhaps in an effort to render the toys less intimidating by comparison. Near to the entrance was a table with a large glass fishbowl and a stack of little slips of paper, so that once again, guests could enter to win one of several amazing door prizes!

Welcome to Dite's! Grab a cocktail, enter to win a novelty dildo or a beautiful set of daggers. Perfect for the last-minute Valentine's shopper!

Okay, the fake snake had gotten to Buck a little. There wasn't a full fledged freak out but there was a manly scream when he opened his locker in the morning.

After his heart rate went down he went to find a new hiding spot for the snake. Eddie's locker would be too obvious, so he wrapped it behind the coffee maker, letting its little head poke out for an unsuspecting caffeine drinker.

It wasn't often that Buck got calls at the station since most of them usually got routed to the troopers, but occasionally calls snuck in if it was deemed something you didn't need cops for. Buck, unfortunately, got one of those today.

"I'm sorry, could you repeat that?" Buck asked.

The caller on the other line sighed. "The patient believes an animal crawled up her butt."

Maybe he should have transferred this call to the clinic.
