Liir wasn't doing anything particularly interesting, but at least he had good companions. On one side, Makejoy trotted along happily at the level of his hip. On the other, Anahata bounced along with them.

Dogs needed walking, after all.

Some time later, there was a break for a bit of fetch and some water. Thankfully, he'd thought to bring a bottle and a pair of bowls for the dogs so they could all enjoy it even if the day was a bit nippy.

Lulu... wasn't one for Valentine's Day.

She was, however, one for the business opportunities offered by Valentine's Day. As such, she'd spent a bit of time before her shift today conscripting the dishes (and a few of her dolls) into setting up some subtle, tasteful Valentine's-themed decorations. Cafe Fina was, as always, the best casual-upscale restaurant on the island!

As Desperation Day dances went, this was probably not the most tacky ever.  Of course given that it was Desperation Day, so tacky really went with the territory.

There was glitter, oh, was there ever glitter in a multitude of sparkly colours.  But even more so, it seemed that the decorators had taken the 'Hearts Afire' theme literally as large cut out hearts adorned the walls.  Each with a tissue paper 'flame' bursting from the top of it.  Streamers in all shades of pink twisted across the ceiling, forming almost a canopy.  Which hopefully would not be literally set afire.  The Fire Department would probably disapprove of that. Also a lot of people's dresses would be ruined.

Let's stay away from any literal fire, okay, guys?

Liir opened up the shop and was rather surprised to hear the door bell chime only a few minutes into his shift. As once said by an esteemed scholar of humanity, most people didn't come in to buy books in the morning. But it was, in fact, a small creature who seemed very interested in poking through the shelves and seeing what there was to see.

Liir didn't mind. If the Animal found something it liked, he would ring it up the same as anyone else.

Ino had found out about the cookies while getting dressed (her closet had been full of sugary goodness) and then when she'd tried to open her door to the dorm hallway...

Well, more sugary goodness. She was a Fandomite with two and a half years experience here, if she'd thought she could get away with it, Ino would've gone in a window to get into work.

Only, well, Cable-san and his security measures. Ah well.

She gathered up the cookies and snagged a few as she went to fuss with her plants. As it was, she'd be living off of the cookies today, it looked like. Mmm.

Liir was pleased enough to be at the book store today and had, in fact, brought Makejoy with him as she had looked at him pitifully this morning. If she wasn't as well behaved as she was, he would have refused her still, but he couldn't see Millie minding that he'd let his massive fluffball sleep on his feet all day behind the counter.

Especially as he always cleaned up the store before heading out anyway.

As such, dog and boy were at work.

Barney was smart and had purposefully blocked all outgoing mail from Fandom to his New York City (sorry, no luck for you, Robin) and so could blissfully oversee the gathering of guests, students, teachers, and townies happening in the park. The day was bright and sunny, regardless of what any weather reports might claim.

The Student Council had done a nice job getting things together to greet the visitors. A wide variety of sumptuous food was spread out on long tables at one end of the park. In the center were plenty of comfortable blue and gold tables and chairs perfect for sitting, chatting, and eating. To the other end of he park was the registration table where visitors could sign in and pickup their name tags.

Just above the registration area was a gaudy banner announcing the start of a calm and relaxing weekend. Okay, a weekend where Barney got a lot of popcorn to listen to radio.

So.

She was sixteen today.

She was also at work, which was a bit of a bummer, but Cal had said he was throwing her a party tomorrow evening so that was something to look forward to, anyway. Even if she’d, like, told people the right-wrong day because, hello, her birthday was today and he hadn’t told her earlier that he was changing the date. Maaan. Ino gave him points (a lot of points), though, for telling her beforehand. And, you know, having a rationale that made sense.

However, the thing that really took the cake?

Was the fact that she was spending her sixteenth birthday as a boy thanks to the stupid island.

Thanks, Fandom. Thanks a lot.

Liir decided that today, he was going to learn a skill. Inspired by a few of the craft books in the back, he'd picked up the supplies for crocheting and was currently attempting to make...

Liir, still feeling a bit out of sorts, was reading today at work. Nothing in particular, of course, just what was in the bin at the back. The tea was out, the cookies were spread, and everything was as it should be otherwise.

There are some things that are just WRONG.

Some that are just... evil. They're beyond wrong and into the blackest pits of what is against life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

...Liir considered syrup rain to be one of those things, if only because he'd had to fly to the store in a garbag bag and he was going to have to soak the brush at the end in water just to get all the sticky sweetness out.

Nonetheless, the shop was open. [if OCDless]

Liir was rather pleased to be back to the kitchen today. The dishware had worried about him, the pots and pans clanged in welcome, and even the baster had managed a rather enthusiastic display wit a bit of water and pepper.

There was, in fact, no day when Liir would want to be at work less than today. The thing about work was that people came in, they dealt with you, they got to know you, they learned your name and what day you were scheduled.

...they noticed when you suddenly had boobs, especially when (of course) you didn't have underthings to put them in properly.

So perhaps the friendly, cheerful young man who usually manned the counter at the Book Haven on Fridays wasn't there today, but it wasn't because he didn't want to be. Ozdamned island.

The vintage yellow convertible Cadillac pulled up to the parking lot at the end of the causeway to a private island off the coast of Maryland, and Miss Vida Boheme got out of the boat of a car to take a look around. She'd left Chi Chi and Noxie in California and driven back across the country -- sans map, of course -- which occasionally led to dead ends like this one. She trusted that the winds of fate, however, had brought her here for a reason, just like they had brought her to Snydersville and other towns along the way in need of a fairy godmother.

A light breeze carried a slip of paper in front of her, and she snatched it out of the air to read the words upon it. It seemed to be a piece of receipt paper from a place called "Covent Garden Flowers," and on the back in neat letters were written the words "For Sale."

"Well, pumpkin," Vida said, addressing no one but the car, "what do you think? Is it time for Auntie Vida to settle down for awhile? A young career girl should have an actual career, after all."

The car didn't respond, but Vida nodded. "Yes, I think this place will do nicely." She left the car parked where it was and began to walk down the causeway, purse over one shoulder, and a small bag that somehow would contain everything she owed in hand. And, of course, a fabulous hat.

It was a subdued Merlin who spoke to the reserve this week. The events of last week may have had something to do with it, may have not.

"Today we'll look into preparing for events like those that just occured. For those of us sensitive to feelings or dreams of the future, perhaps we ought to start writing them down when they occur and just what happened in them," He said quietly.

"Asside from that, storing up anything we can to assist the other groups now would probably help in case we are the actual target of--something of that sort. If you have any ideas, please, share them with Karla or myself." A beat. "When she's here."

Liir was feeling rather, well, rather manic at the moment. He had far too much energy, no matter that he felt terribly tired and not in a particularly good mood. That was why he was glad to be at work, glad to be cooking, glad to be doing something even if it was repetitive and silly. He decided sometime before his class that he would get out a little if it killed him and put up the specials board with that in mind.

One mostly sleepless night for hapless clinic workers and volunteers? Check.

Rows and rows of sleeping people? Check and double check. The sleeping people were, in Ino's not-so-humble opinion, really freakin' creepy thank you ever so very much. She didn't like the numbers, at all. Or the fact that nothing yet could be done to wake them up.

(And, maybe okay, she also didn't like the fact that she hadn't gotten much sleep the night before, shut up.)

That didn't stop the nurses, volunteers, and coffee makers from chugging on bravely in the face of all that unrelenting sleep and making sure their patients were properly taken care off.

The calls had started early in the morning, and the patients had followed shortly after, all with the same problem - people had fallen asleep and couldn't be woken up. It didn't take long for it to become clear that the clinic wouldn't hold everyone - there really were a finite number of rooms in the place - and in quite possibly the only instance of anyone ever being grateful for the plague, it wasn't long before Martha, the nurses, and the town hall staff had figured out how to recreate the emergency clinic in the town hall. Cots were set up, supplies were brought over, and the rest of the clinic staff had been contacted. Now, all they needed was to get everyone rounded up to be taken care of, and to try to figure out what was wrong.

Liir was humming something as he neatened the shelves, put away the books, set out the tea. Something about a secret holy plan or other, not that it mattered. It was just a song, just something to hum for the moment. Expression was much more important than lyrics, and anyone who was actually listening would know that he was saying something a great deal more cheerful than the Unionist hymn would have usually accounted for.

Eventually, he ended up behind the counter, his head tilting back and forth with the melody and a little smile on his face that he probably wasn't even aware of.

Liir was somewhat worried.

There were, of course, two things to worry about. One of them was his excursion with Joan scheduled for tomorrow. That was a pleasant enough worry, a little playful gnawing of the gut with a side order of scribbling in his notebooks various ideas of what he should wear that would be appropriate to such a thing and if he should bring something for her.

The other worry was darker in nature and wasn't enjoyable at all, something he felt he could not act on, only wait and worry in a desperate attempt not to make matters worse.

Either way, though, there was work to be done and food to be prepared and Liir, mind elsewhere, decided on simple, familiar dishes for the day.

Liir had been laying low.

He'd have to try and find his employers at the Cafe Fina, or leave a note or something, but they wouldn't have wanted him in that day, not after the culinary disaster he'd regretted eating the night before. Then there'd been yesterday and he hadn't been about to risk another fiasco like what'd happened the last time he'd gone out on a day when the island seemed determined to make people sing. As it was, he'd been unable to stop humming one song all the whole day.

But those were other days. Today, blissfully, nothing seemed to be happening. Today, he was here, at work, behind the counter after a soothing bit of cleaning and straightening.

Liir made it to work on time, then settled into an almost zen-like flow as he got into his kitchen work. He was still reading up on the simpler dishes that he knew Ino liked, but something in him had just called for something a bit more complicated even if he wondered if it was a bit heavy for mid-summer.

Eh, the air conditioning was on, practically chilling the place all by itself. And it all smelled good enough.

While the students had been completing their last finals, an NPC staff had been hard at work converting one of the empty warehouses into the site of tonight's dance. When the guests arrived this evening, they'd be greeted by a long yellow carpet, leading up to the open glass doors of the warehouse.

Once inside, they would find the space brightly decorated to celebrate the summer season. Gold drapes covered the walls, splashed liberally with glitter to make them sparkle in the low lights of the warehouse. Flowers were placed here and there, not overwhelming but definitely noticeable and fragrant. Images of beaches, palm trees, sunsets, sunrises, hammocks, and other various summer images were being projected on the walls randomly.

A long table consisting of food and drinks was along one wall, providing plenty of sustenance for everyone for their long night of fun. Dark corners could be found here and there, of course. There was music playing and a disco balls projecting light onto the dance floor.

It was time for the summer dance.

But the fear that it was Shell...

The fear that Shell somehow knew--

He didn't even know what Shell could know, what he would know, what would be worse. He wanted to be back in his room curled up with his dog, but he was at work and focusing on his job like the chopping of carrots was of the utmost importance to the continued wellbeing of every life on the island.

No specials. He was just following the menu today, following orders.
