Today had started out annoying, with the trolls, and a cat and a plant. So she brought both Boston and Adrian to the warehouse, because at least here she could keep an eye on things and make sure no one got knocked over or had their tail chomped.

She didn't expect the toddler-sized troll wandering the warehouse. Not small enough to be a nuisance, not big enough to be a credible threat. And it kept scurrying behind things when noticed, so today was just going to be a fun one.

When Adrian first turned into a plant, Rey had thought that it might be like a few weeks ago, when he changed back and forth.

It wasn't like that.

Rey didn't actually know how to take care of a plant, because she knew there were specific things certain ones needed, so she was relying on Boston for all that. She also wasn't sure whether or not she should have brought him to work. If he was an animal, sure. A plant? Maybe she'd go back and get him on her break?

She really needed things to pick up around here if she was thinking about it that hard.

It was a wholly boring day at work. The work was slow, the gremlins were quiet, and Rey didn't love it. Maybe she'd go up to the maker's space for a while to tinker with random stuff, but she figured it would be more responsible to stay down here for now.

So she was cleaning for something to do. This place was going to sparkle by the end of her shift.

Rey was kind of in a weird headspace as of late, which probably had a lot to do with this being the anniversary of almost all of the worst days of her life where everyone died, on top of other stuff. It wasn't bad, she was just feeling... introspective.

She'd head to the warehouse later, but for the morning she was at the Perk, settling in with a coffee and her little book of Jedi notes that she'd started, putting things down on paper. And once she'd been here a while, a barista came over to refill her coffee. Her to go cup. That had a lid on it. With a latte in it.

She respectfully declined while privately wondering if they would ever be normal when she came in.

When Rey came in today, she found that the woodchucks weren't around, not there were several stuffed ones lying around in various places. Which raised several questions.

Did the stuffies belong to the woodchucks? Were they woodchucks themselves? If so, would they change back? Were the stuffies some weird decoy plan so that they could sneak out unnoticed?

It was possible it was just to mess with her.

[Idk, my head hurts. Open!]

There weren't any special decorations up for this party, since "I Have Nowhere To Wear This" was a great party theme fashionwise but difficult decorationwise. It'd been difficult enough coming up with the drink specials. The was fine. Let the new pool table and stripper pole with the caution tape all over it serve as ambiance.

And as promised, there were no Tinos allowed. Which meant that Kitty would be doing double duty as bartender and hostess but that was also fine! These were the sacrifices one made for petty revenge.

Welcome!

It was Wednesday, so of course Adrian was here. He was here every Wednesday, and if the squirrels didn't take note of that, that was hardly on him.

Ahem. Yes.

Anyway, Adrian was here, as per usual, and setting out new Blackwood cosmetics, as per usual. Yup, just the standard, average, nothing out of the ordinary Wednesday!

thatwaslucky

Last week had seen the Starbucks gremlins telling Rey gossip. This week one of the gremlins seemed to want to give an update, which mostly meant a stream of gremlin babble while they followed Rey around while she worked. She didn't want to cut them off, but also, she had things to do.

Maybe she could at least convince them to sit down so they weren't underfoot in stepping on/biting distance?

As far as Rey knew, Anakin was still a cat, so she wasn't expecting company. She also wouldn't mind it. Maybe it was restlessness, maybe she was bored, but she needed to be in here and doing something today.

So if you needed her, she'd be upside down, balancing on one hand, eyes closed and focusing. She also her her phone on the floor with the stopwatch running, but that was just for fun.

[Open!]

It was one of those mornings where Rey hit up the Perk after training, and imagine her surprise when she walked in and the place was decked out for Valentine's Day. She didn't even remember the place being decorated when it was Valentine's Day.

So here she was, drinking something with pink cold foam and a heart cookie. As you do.

[Open!]

thatwaslucky

Rey had missed the last week of work because she'd been a cat. Normal reasons. She'd planned on getting caught up, but what she was catching up on was whatever gremlin gossip had happened in the last week and a half.

Well, sort of. The gremlins weren't really saying much but there were a lot of gestures. It was kind of interesting on its own.

[Open!]

thatwaslucky

Someone had brought donuts in to work today. It wasn't Rey. The gremlins didn't seem to know anything about it. She felt like it'd be a little more over the top if it was Tony. So... mystery donuts.

She took one, of course. And she was suspicious the whole time.

[Open!]

thatwaslucky

After last weekend, which she was having a lot of feelings about and not dealing with, Rey www is walking the course and looking for ways to punch it up some. That was a dangerous thing when you were dealing with Anakin, but maybe it was needed.

And maybe it said something that the things she was coming up with were "this thing shoots projectiles now" or "I don't know, fire?"

[Open!]

thatwaslucky

It had been… wow, four years since Leia died. At that time, Rey was still very much learning, doubting herself, mostly untested. She'd grown a bit since then.

Naturally, Leia wanted to see how she'd progressed, so Rey set up the remotes and the drones so she could run the course. Which now had lava. And floor projectiles that if she wasn't careful, could shoot her right into it. There wasn't really a chance of that now, unless she was having a very off day. She knew to bat the remotes away while she was making her slow way through the net. The things that were randomized, she knew how to handle. It wasn't easy for her, but it wasn't that hard.

And when she finished, she jumped down off the top of the climbing wall, looking like she was expecting a grade.

[Open, with SP!]

thatwaslucky

There were several reasons why Rey wasn't surprised she'd been dreaming about Leia. Between her work as a Jedi, her relationship, and her next steps in general, she had a lot of things weighing on her, so of course she'd want to talk to the only mother figure she'd ever had. Rey hadn't been trying to call for her, but maybe this was a sign that she should.

She'd usually be in the warehouse by now, but she wasn't really feeling it today. What she was feeling was a need for caffeine, since she'd woken up after said dream in the extremely early morning and hadn't been able to get back to sleep. Between the Force and Magic, she was healed up, but sometimes you just didn't wanna and didn't have to.

She'd gotten a coffee and a table by the window, looking out like she was people-watching, while not really paying attention outside at all.

[Open!]

thatwaslucky

It was cleanup day at the warehouse. Cleaning up after the unsurprisingly chaotic woodchucks, clearing off the course because the weather controls could do some damage over time, things like that. There was actually something relaxing and mindless about it that was needed sometimes.

Though she was giving death glares at the woodchucks anytime she heard a noise. One day. Give her one clean day, guys.

[Open!]

thatwaslucky

Last week had been impossible with the flowers everywhere, and this week seemed much calmer. Except that every time Rey would reach for something, or open something, there'd be a Ring Pop there. If she took it out, closed the drawer, opened the drawer again, there'd be a new Ring Pop.

This was especially confusing as Rey had never even seen a Ring Pop before and now she was amassing a pile of them.

[Open!]

thatwaslucky

It was back to normal after a few weeks, so Rey was back in the warehouse, and it was definitely a meditation day. The last few weeks had been great, but they'd also left her with a lot of things to think about. Things she strived avoiding thinking about but it was getting harder and harder not to.

If the woodchucks were here, they were keeping quietly to themselves for once, so Rey could just focus on her breathing, and not what that noise was or whatever.

[Open!]

thatwaslucky

Mother's Day was an awkward day for an orphan who could only remember one meeting with her parents, so today always left Rey with Feelings.

Not today, though. Today was all annoyance because everything was flowers. Tools? Flowers. Open a drawer? Flowers. And sure it looked beautiful and it smelled really nice in here but she had stuff to do!

[Open!]

thatwaslucky

Traditionally, Rey hated pollen. It was a days long exercise in blocking an entire island of people out, it gave her a headache, she hated it. Except when she had a super hot boyfriend right there. Then she didn't care about anyone else and it was going to be a great week.

And still, she'd stupidly- stupidly- come in to work. It was only so many hours, she had to get stuff done, something something work ethic, it was fine.

She was getting no work done, at least not well, and was definitely not going to stay her whole shift.

[Open!]

thatwaslucky

Rey pulled up to the warehouse with coffee and bagels from JGOB, and set them down on one of the crates while she set up for training today.

Every time she turned her back, one woodchuck got closer and closer to the bag, freezing instantly when she looked over. So she did it a few more times than necessary just to see if he'd chicken out.

The woodchuck remained undeterred.

"I don't even know if you can have that," she said.

Harley had been kinda busy as of late. With what? Hey! Mind your own beeswax! Although it mighta-coulda had something to do with the mighty fancy looking ring she was wearing on her pinky, a little bit of a departure from her usual costume jewelry bric-a-brac.

Also there were like stacks of cash up in the apartment, but that was not for anyone to see and certainly not for anyone to tell any authorities about! Parting assholes from their money was practically a public service, anyhow.

Anyway, she was back minding the store that Friday. Or she was skating around the inside of the store on a pair of fetching 1970s roller blades that had just come in, but whatever, it counted!

Hopefully someone would drop by before she got any bright ideas about taking the skates for a spin out on the notoriously cobble stoned and stair-y Fandom streets.

(and open)

thatwaslucky

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.

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.

thatwaslucky

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.

[Open!]

thatwaslucky

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.

[The flist looked lonely. open! ]

thatwaslucky

Rey came into the warehouse to find a note written in terrible woodchuck-y handwriting (yes, she could tell) saying "GONE FISHING."

She had several questions about this. How long would they be gone, where were they going, do woodchucks even eat fish? Or were they just catching them and throwing them back, which was a whole other thing she do not understand.

At least it'd be quiet.

thatwaslucky

Rey had been gone last weekend, and she'd returned with a shiny new holocron. Well, it was not shiny or new but like most of her things, it was simply new to her. She'd gotten through some of it earlier in the week, but it was slow going when she'd been making notes as she went.

She'd brought it to the warehouse today, both so Anakin could see it, and because she actually did need to get through it all.

Kitty had put a lot of thought into the party tonight, so she'd tried to give people conversation starters for the icebreaker party. So there were random decorative fish hanging from the ceiling. Just a nonsense thing people might comment on. And there were plenty of drinks!

Everybody had their own spring rituals. Arden's was cleaning, but Adrian's was getting outside in the garden and starting to prepare the soil for planting. Cleaning up the debris from winter, turning the soil to break it up and keep it loose, checking over the planters and beds to see if any of them needed to be repaired. Normally it would also involve pruning back some of the perennials, but that seemed firmly under the heading of Check With Pam First.

He was a smart boy. ~~Mostly~~

thatwaslucky

It was the first workday after vacation, with another thing on the horizon, and Rey was trying to get caught up and get ahead as much as possible. It was easier said than done when there was no beach or Greek food to look forward to.

Also she was probably going to have to go back to the gremlins for more coffee. It was something she tried not to do, but desperate times called for completely reasonable measures.

Mark Adrian as another person who was quite glad to have hermitted away in his Grove yesterday. He'd thrown himself into prepping for the last of winter and the beginning of spring, including cutting a truly outrageous amount of firewood.

While singing. A lot of singing.

Today, his throat hurt and so did his arms and back, and Boston had, at various times, referred to his mood at 'grumpy,' 'brooding,' and once, even 'sulking.' Which, no he wasn't. He was just sore.

And also shut up.

thatwaslucky

Rey didn't understand the superstition around Friday the 13th, but apparently the woodchucks did. She walked in to a broken mirror near the crate sitting area, and a random ladder in the middle of nothing. She didn't know why these things were there, and she wasn't asking. She was just getting to work with the dustpan (the Force saved her from actual sweeping) and watching as the woodchucks tossed salt over their shoulders before walking under the ladder. Where were they going? Also not asking.

"You can just go around," she said, deeply confused.

[Open!]

thatwaslucky

Rey hadn't had a problem going to the warehouse, but coming back, she had not been expecting the stairs to become a slide.

The shriek as she slid down, startled, was surely very badass.

Which left her at the bottom, standing to glance up at the slide that she was apparently going to have to walk up now. Maybe if she gave it a minute, it'd turn back? If not, her legs would just kill her tonortow, it was fine.

After the buzzer had gone off for the last time, everyone was free to mingle. Maybe they'd want to gossip with their friends. Or maybe they'd met someone they hoped to get to know better. Or maybe they'd want to hang out at the bar and try to bump into someone they didn't get. Or maybe they wanted to try one of the specials (including the one Tino had added in the last fifteen minutes). Or maybe it was too cold to go out again right away. Or maybe you wanted to punch that one person now instead of during the dates. Or maybe you wanted to hear the zombie band play now. Or maybe you wanted to try to steal the glitter banner. Or...

Look what time it was! It was time to get everyone piled into the bar to make friends and/or bad decisions!

The bar was decked out for Valentine's Day, with a lot of tacky-classic red and pink decor to go along with the huge banner draped across the wall of the stage, lovingly made by the Glitter class, reading:

WELCOME TO
THREE MINUTE DATES

Everyone was free to mingle until a couple minutes before 8:00, when Kitty took to the stage.

"Good evening, everybody! And welcome to Three Minute Dates! If you're new, the rules are as such: we'll call pairs of names. You pair up, you chat, get to know each other as well as you can in three minutes, and then the bell will sound and I'll call out different sets of names, and so on, and so forth. Physical violence will get you magically transported out, don't hook up in the bathrooms, and have fun. You've got a couple minutes to still sign up if you want!"

[Before the Dates | Round One | Round Two | Round Three | Round Four | Round Five | OOC | Post-Dates Bar]

thatwaslucky

Rey came in to find that the woodchucks had again gotten into the weather controls and had somehow made an ice rink out of a portion of the course. They were apparently figure skating.

I partially annoyed, Rey eventually decided she could make it work. "Five more minutes and then it's mine!" she called.

She was totally going to fall running on ice. Whatever, she'd done worse.

[Open!]

thatwaslucky

If Rey knew it was truth day, she'd have not left home and maybe locked her phone in a closet or something for the day. But she didn't, so when she stopped in at the Perk and sat down with her drink, she was startled when a very personal argument broke out among the two baristas.

Now she was left wondering if she should leave, or if that would make things worse? They were getting into who stole whose boyfriend years ago and she was trying to figure out the best time to escape unnoticed before someone cried.

[Open!]

thatwaslucky

Rey sort of had a schedule to her day, and today it was impossible to actually keep to it. She woke up on time, somehow took so long to get ready doing the same things she did every day that she got out the door to training later than intended. She'd set an alarm to leave the warehouse with plenty of time to get to work, and yet still ended up being late.

So she was a little frazzled today, and checking the time too much because she didn't understand what it seemed to be doing today.

[Open!]

thatwaslucky

Before any kind of laundry fun today, Rey was at the warehouse, practicing some fine detail work. She'd gotten some sugar crystals- not a lot, she didn't want to be wasteful- and had spread them across the floor, doing things like moving them into patterns, or picking up very specific ones one at a time.

She was now on the floor, very focused as she tried to split one of the crystals into two. If she could crack a big rock, she could crack something this small, it was just a matter of adjusting.

She would likely never need to use this, but you never know!

Harley made for quite a visible sight in the park, wearing her bright yellow faux fur coat.

But, yanno. She was there with her giant hyena, so depending on the person, maybe Bruce was still the most eye catching living thing around, 'less you happened to be from somewhere where both spotted hyenas and people with loud fashion senses were a dime a dozen -- in which case maybe the flamingos were the biggest point of interest?

Anyway!

Harley was there, watching Bruce stalk the flamingos by the pond again.

The birds were not having it.

"I keep tellin' ya, baby," Harley called out to him, after a sip from her takeaway cup, "ya gotta watch out for the wings and the legs! And the beak! The whole bird, basically!"

Rey had felt just enough of a draft this morning that she'd gotten up into the rafters for a little bit of maintenance on the hole they'd patched last year. You know, from when a boulder had gone through it. This was how Rey realized that some things in Fandom sounded weirder more time away you had from them.

If you needed her, you'd have to look up. Way up. And she might ask you to toss her the duct tape from there. Not because she couldn't just levitate it up, or even because she needed it, but because it could be fun.

Adrian had come to work bearing gifts!

A very belated Christmas gift of an entire crate-full of pickled, canned, dehydrated, fermented, dried, and otherwise preserved late fruits and vegetables from his garden. Yes, autumn had been over for awhile, but these things took time.

But now they were here, with a big red cloth bow on the crate to make it festive, and a witch who was very pleased with himself behind the counter.

thatwaslucky

Sometimes there was music at work that came from nowhere. Most recently it had been annoying Christmas music. There was no January music, so there were just different versions of Auld Lang Syne playing. Rey was in a constant loop of being irritated and then it fading into the background so she could get some stuff done, and then a version would come on that made her remember it was there and then she got irritated again.

Maybe she needed to start bringing earplugs. Or earmuffs. Something to save her ears. Anything.

[Open!]

thatwaslucky

Once Rey figured out the trick to the popups that had been a thorn in her side for months, they were actually sort of fun? All the time she'd been worrying about the objects themselves was a waste of time when she should have been worrying about the space around the objects. That moved. That she could predict.

She'd started dreading running the course, but she was going at it pretty hard today. She wasn't doing anything to show off yet, but at this point not getting knocked on her ass felt like showing off.

What day of the week was it? Who knew! Who cared! The important thing was it was the 31st, and everything else was officially next year's problem.

The bar was done up in a ridiculous amount of Christmas lights, which when paired with the usual metallic balloons and streamers, made for pretty good mood lighting. And sure, the mechanical bull still looked like sort of a lit up monstrosity but it added a certain something to the place.

Rey loved Christmas, but being around when everyone was with their people and things were quiet got pretty lonely, and so she'd been at home. Learn some things, help some people, get into a fight that helped her feel better about her recent complaints about feeling rusty, it was a good time. She'd gotten back in this morning, so she figured she'd go in to work and be only a little bit late. It'd give her something to do since she was sure things were still on the slow side in town.

Except how there actually was nothing to do, which was pretty uncommon for after the holiday, sooo she was going to clean everything in sight. Yep. Totally worth coming in.

[Open!]

thatwaslucky

Rey had been spared the Fandom weirdness for once, which was good for her because she thought that after months, she'd finally figured out how to deal with the popups on the obstacle course and it was easier to do that without hooves.

And she was trying to ignore the noise as she considered the course, because the woodchucks had not been spared the weirdness and they were fighting with their antlers like actual reindeer so that was gonna be a thing today.

Unlike some beleagured librarians, Adrian was having a lovely day with the candles. He had the lights turns off, letting the candles and the sunlight provide the illumination, there were plenty of plants around to add to the festive feeling, and he'd spent much of the last few days baking, so there were plenty of ~~moddable~~ Christmas cookies around for people to enjoy, as well as merry carols playing quietly in the shop.

Christmas wasn't exactly one of his holidays (Blackwood witches celebrated Yule), but it was close enough and the important thing was that it spread joy and cheer, right?

thatwaslucky

See, these were the kinds of things Rey liked in December. The sparkly pine trees were great. Walking through the park to work with all the chimes had been really nice!

And there was one at work. There was no bad here. Maybe by the end of her shift the chimes might actually get annoying but that was Future Rey's problem, right now she loved it.
