There was a live band tonight that Eric had not ordered. Tiny pleaded innocence entirely too quickly for it to be real, either. "What kind of music do they play?" Eric asked, looking confused by the plasticky blue elephant...thing playing a keyboard.

Tiny told him.

"It is not called that."

Tiny grinned.

"Well, that's probably why they were so cheap," Eric said.

Tiny told him how much they cost.

"Well, that's probably why it's coming out of your paycheck," Eric amended.

Welcome to the Devil's Nest. Enjoy the jizz band.

"What are you talking about? Of course you guys can manage without me! And I'll be back in a few, uh...months, at most. I don't really know. It's...family stuff. Listen, don't worry about it. Worry about serving up delicious pizza to hungry people. When in doubt, ask yourselves, 'What would Raiden do?'"

And then maybe...don't do that. Use your best judgment.

(Yes, it's true! Raiden and Gray will be going away for the summer to do some canon updating! In their absence Pizza Planet and Over Easy will remain open on a run-by-NPCs/moddable basis!)

"...they may not have had a legal requirement to get the family's permission, but it seems to me they had a moral obligation to do so. Caleb, what do you think?"

The vet tech and one of the volunteers had been going on for some time about the Space Battles franchise which had segued into using CGI to bring back characters who's original actors had passed on rather than re-casting them.

Caleb had not gotten around to Space Battles. It was too big. Likewise Mr. What.

"I'll be honest I'm not sure I understood most'a that. But respectin' the family's wishes seems t'me t'be the right thing t'do."

The kitten he'd befriended, who had managed to get itself adopted by the new momma cat meowed for attention. "I think she agrees."

There were a lot of Space Battles fans in the store today, and one of them had given Little Bot a toy laser-sword.

Which meant that rather than working, Vi was mostly watching Little Bot gleefully rolling around the store brandishing his new weapon at anyone who was stepping out of line.

It was the kind of day where Watts was eyeing the space under his desk- so perfectly suited for a nap- with longing.

But instead of napping he was answering phone calls about gnomenapping. It seemed the lawn gnomes (not to be confused with the Portalocity gnomes) were at it again, stealing bits and bobs from people's kitchen junk drawers and the like.

Fandom Island crime, everyone.

The children visiting always left Steven in a thoughtful mood. Hard not to ponder what their dads' lives were like. Steven didn't ask, of course. It wasn't the children's job to report on such things and dimensions had so much difference even when the changes seemed small it wasn't worth asking.

Still. Steven couldn't help but wonder what if?

Which made him glad for the distraction of work to keep his mind off of things.

He was behind the welcome desk if anyone needed him.

Grossly, Tino had apparently cleaned up last week, and then spent the weekend dealing with a kid from each of those people. So that was a fun thing to find out about!

No, actually, it wasn't, and Kitty wanted to go back to being the person she was before that.

Sairis had spent the early part of last week antsy and needy, and then had decided to head somewhere remote and meditate. Instead, when he'd gotten to the top floor of the dorms, he had been eaten by a metal cabinet that Google informed him was a locker and was not supposed to eat people. Apparently he'd missed his finals, but they mostly hadn't happened.

This place was strange.

Today, though, he was back at the shop. The glowy dragon-head thing was still in the window, but the sign next to it now read, Don't ask, I just like it.

Next to that was another sign: Potions and charms available: Calm, fertility or infertility, privacy available - others by request.

Sairis was spending his time looking up what that glowy dragon-head thing actually was, but he could answer other questions!

Right. The pollen was gone, the kids were gone, and Bucky was out of whisky. Time to take some kind of step.

Or several steps, all the way to the theater.

Maybe not a step. Maybe a vague olive branch.

(You could take a guy out of the intelligence community, but you couldn't take the urge to send out coded messages out of the guy, apparently.)

The movie theater was open. Come get your grindhouse.

Once again, Raiden didn't have any kids visiting this weekend. He figured that made sense, what with the being gay and not planning to reproduce in case the curse could be passed down anyway, but he liked kids, so it was kind of a bummer.

Oh, well. He'd suffered worse disappointments.

Well, today's shift hadn't started off with a movie about a baby dinosaur losing its mother, so already it was on better footing than the last time Irrim had accompanied Liliana to the store. Then Liliana had the brilliant idea to let Irrim choose what bit of merchandise to showcase in the display window today (thus eating up nearly a solid hour while the girl prowled the store in search for the perfect item), and, once that decision had been made, introducing her to the strategy game go. There was still plenty of time for it all to go south, but, for now, a tentative peace reigned.

She'd take it.

Orazca Relic
Because it's cool, that's why.

Irrim's reasoning behind her choice for display item was a little questionable, but her taste was flawless.

Gregorith had been initially puzzled when he hear the radio update. He didn't know Watts and Stephen had kids. Granted it was Stephen's prerogative to volunteer that information or not, but he hadn't struck Gregorith as the type to keep that a secret.

But then he thought he remembered something he'd seen in the museum's archives. Soon enough he found what he was looking for. Records of weekends past where possible future children found their way to the present. There were transcripts of radio broadcasts and some photos.

He chuckled ruefully at the shell shocked expressions on some of the future parents. He also thought of how weird it must have been for the kids, to meet their own parents when they were little more than kids themselves.

He counted himself lucky that he seemed to have been skipped over by this particular event, though part of him was a little sad as well. Just more proof that he was not likely to have a family of his own.

He put on some music and double checked that everything was child safe.

Stark hadn't slept much last night but Neri had eventually fallen asleep mid-sentence after chattering away into the wee hours. There had been pancakes for breakfast and more talking. The boy had stories. So many stories.

They were now seated at a table inside Chilly Boulder waiting for the Skywalker sundae that Neri had ordered.
He'd scoffed at the idea he might not be able to finish it. "Dad. Come on. I know how to eat. Especially ice cream. Especially chocolate!"

Considering the boy's apparent parentage Stark had to agree that a sweet tooth that would never be satisfied did seem incredibly likely.

Stark had gone to bed alone and woken up alone after spending all of last week alone. Now he was at the Perk alone.

All of this was to be expected.

His extremely sugary coffee order with extra whipped cream was also entirely expected. Stark had the coffee and he had a breakfast sandwich even though it was afternoon and he was just sitting, glad to be feeling less restless than he had been for the whole week.

It was shaping up to be a quiet, peaceful sort of day.

[the coffee shop is, of course, open to all and sundry]

Henry did not have any sort of itching, aching, or-- was there another -ing word in that family? Nevermind. He'd look it up later.

Clang.

No, he had none of that. He was just... busy.

Clang.

Making horseshoes.

Clang.

For days now.

Clang.

With his shirt off, but only because the forge was hot, all right?

Did Pebbles need all of those horseshoes? Probably not. But perhaps she might, in the future! Perhaps someone else might come in looking to shoe their horse. Who knew?

Any plans for a spring-ish theme for this dance had been scrapped at the beginning of the week. Instead, the community center was draped in winter decorations - cool blue and silver draperies, glittery snowflakes hanging from the ceiling, cardboard standups of snowmen, tinsel on every flat surface - all giving a general sense to stay calm and chill.

It probably wouldn't work, but at least there was an attempt.

Was it hot in here or was it just Thor? The god of thunder had opted for a shirtless look tonight, for reasons.

Also, he would like it on the record that he had not selected this week's specials. He wouldn't have been so on the nose as the third one.

Stark had gone into the ice cream shop and walked right back out again. That was not the correct choice of venue. Then he'd thought about baked goods but there had been too many suggestively shaped baked goods on display. So he'd gone into the Perk, ordered a very large iced coffee with a possibly horrifying amount of sugary add-ons, and then immediately outside.

Now he was sitting in the park with his absurd coffee-adjacent beverage. Just sitting. Being moody. It was fine.

It wasn't like outside was going to make the pollen worse, right? Though watching some amorous waterfowl hadn't improved his mood and he'd ended up moving to a different bench not near the pond.

Happy Wednesday!

I'm taking search offline sometime today to upgrade the server to a new instance type. It should be down for a day or so -- sorry for the inconvenience. If you're curious, the existing search machine is over 10 years old and was starting to accumulate a decade of cruft...!

Also, apparently these older machines cost more than twice what the newer ones cost, on top of being slower. Trying to save a bit of maintenance and cost, and hopefully a Wednesday is okay!

Edited: The other cool thing is that this also means that the search index will be effectively realtime afterwards... no more waiting a few minutes for the indexer to catch new content.

TONIGHT'S SPECIALS
Any suggestively named cocktail you can think of 50% off!

Right.

What better way was there to be greeted by Fandom after a long while away on a much more secluded island, than to return smack dab in the middle of pollen season? Octavia could've thought of a few, actually, but this was what she got.

Still, she'd let Tiny put up the special of his choosing, and was settling in for an evening of distracting herself from her antsiness until she could return to the Rouge.

It was good to be home, regardless.

[ooc: Big SP warning from me throughout the day, but Tiny is available for modding so don't let that stop you from getting some pollen-charged mingling on!]
