FIRE (KRAKEN) DRILL!!!, LOON DRIVE, FRIDAY NIGHT

Were you sleeping soundly in whatever underwear you had left, Fandom? Not anymore!

At 2 AM, sirens all across the island began to blare. A PA system turned on, featuring a metallic voice loudly yelling: "KRAKEN DRILL. KRAKEN DRILL. ALL INHABITANTS GRAB RAIN GEAR AND ASSEMBLE AT THE INTERSECTION OF LOON DRIVE AND GRIFFIN WAY. I REPEAT. KRAKEN DRILL. KRAKEN DRILL. ALL INHABITANTS GRAB RAIN GEAR AND ASSEMBLE AT THE INTERSECTION OF LOON DRIVE AND GRIFFIN WAY."

If anyone hoped it was going to stop before 4 AM, sorry: no.

At least there wasn't an actual kraken, so Loon Drive's stone streets wouldn't be slippery with rain. And at least Mayor Faden hadn't deployed her tie yourself to a building addition to the kraken emergency plan yet...

Library, Thursday 7/10

Belle had treated herself to a milkshake before walking in to her shift. The milkshake had treated itself to her outfit and she'd had to run back and change into something else.

Was she wearing a fancy dress right now? Yes.

Was she glaring at the gremlins who were pointing at her and giggling? Yes.

Was the library just waiting to do something messy and terrible to her and anyone who might come in? Almost certainly.

The Devil's Nest, Thursday Evening

One would think Thor, who wore his armor near-exclusively, would not be impacted by the odd plague of laundry upon their island of late, but he wore fabric between the armor and his skin, and he did not keep many changes of clothing. He didn't exist half the time to wear it, anyway. So, faced with few choices, he had opted to conserve what clothing he had left and resume the tradition of shirtlessness tonight at the bar. You're welcome.

Llamas' Corner, Baltimore, Maryland, Thursday Evening

As with Charming Elephant previously, Lydia was bound to be disappointed by the lack of truth in advertising of Llamas' Corner. Where were the llamas? Oh, in the decor? They should be serving her London Fog latte.

Well. They were already here, and she supposed the place was quite charming, anyway. She did so hope nothing ill befell her dress; she seemed to be having the most rotten luck with that this week!

Welcome to Supper Club, everyone! No llamas were involved in the food preparation.

The Wonderful World of Pizza, Thursday, Period 3

Raiden's students should have received a message telling them to meet at Portalocity, where they would find their teacher in jeans with a hole in the knee and one of the last clean shirts he'd had in the closet, which was a nice, burnt orange button down. It was a shame it was not likely to stay clean very long.

"All right, everybody, listen up," he said once he'd counted what he thought was the correct number of heads. "I'm Raiden, and this is..." He did a drumroll with his hands on the desk, which made the gnomes sigh. "The Wonderful World of Pizza! Today we're getting started by going to the birthplace of modern pizza, Naples, Italy. While there have been of course flatbreads with stuff on them since ancient times, it was in Naples that this was really refined and tomatoes were added to the mix, creating the modern pizza. At first, pizza was sold at open air stands, frequently by the slice, and it was food for the poor and working class, something you could easily pick up and eat on the go. It only really took off after it got royal approval in 1889...but that's another story. Today we're going to the oldest pizzeria in Naples, the Antica Pizzeria Port'Alba, which got its start as one of those open air stands in the 1700s before moving into a brick and mortar building during the 19th century. You can try the pizza--the Margherita is, of course, a classic, but in a port city like Naples you can't go wrong trying the seafood--and then explore the city a little, maybe pick up a pastry like a sfogliatella, another regional classic. And maybe a souvenir t-shirt or two." He would be shopping for one, because it was that or try to squeeze into the clothes Smalls had left around his place. "Sound like a plan? Let's go!"

Finding (More) New Hobbies, Thursday Period 2

Hobby class, today, was meeting in a generic classroom. Stark was standing at the front of the room with some books on the desk by him along with a stack of squares of colorful paper. Stark was also dressed in what could charitably be described as 'threadbare' clothing today. There were holes. He hadn't even known he still had this shirt.

“I’m Stark,” Stark said. “If you don’t know me by now. Welcome to a workshop on finding new hobbies. More new hobbies. We’ll try out something new each week and maybe find something we want to keep doing. Or not. Easy enough to never try something again after the first time.”

“I’m looking for ways to help keep myself busy.” Moreso right now than at the beginning of the summer, even. “So I thought I’d share that. I do better when I have things to do. And today’s thing to do is folding paper into shapes. It’s called origami, it’s from Japan, and it’s you make little paper sculptures.”

He held up a small paper frog. “Like this frog. It jumps.”

He demonstrated, then held up a few other shapes including tiny stars. “So, try some things out. And…I suppose we can do introductions? In case not everyone knows each other. If someone would like to start before we start folding? Or you can fold and talk. No reason not to do both.”

5 Times Urza Ruined Everything, Thursday, Per 1

"Rocks," Liliana said with a sigh, perching on the edge of her desk at the front of the classroom. "I need you all to understand that everything that I'm going to describe over the next seven weeks happened because of a pair of bloody rocks. Yes, they were magical, but at the heart of all of the death, destruction, and depowering, were two brothers who couldn't share rocks. Our next six classes will skim the surface of the five most egregious failures and resultant disasters, and the one time it was still a tragedy, but it was at least an effective one. Which leaves today for providing some historical and personal background information about Urza, so you can understand a little more about the man behind the fuck-ups. This is not an attempt to get you to sympathize with him, but more so you can understand how absolutely committed this man was to ruining every facet of his life, and the lives of everyone around him."

Welcome to class! Hope you're prepared for seven weeks of Liliana ranting. Just know, should there be any tests, you could probably get by with just writing because Urza sucked, just like, so much for every question.

Let The Ranting Begin )

She gave them all a bright smile. "And that, my darlings, is plenty of background to begin understanding Urza's actions and atrocities during his lifetime. Any questions?"

WTFH - Fandom Radio [Thurs, July 10th]

*chittering*

Well, no, you don't wash leather.

*chittering*

That explains so many things that I never needed to know.

Let's see, quiet day, with the only thing happening related to the school being Shenanigans, which Jaina ran instead of Anakin, lulling the minglers and voluntolds into a false sense of security only to hit them with a very messy obstacle course. Good thing there isn't some kind of island wide issue with the laundry machines.

*chittering*

It's called foreshadowing. Jaina did stick around to take feedback on the course.

Everything was quiet in the Dorms, while over in Town, both Jon and Rey discovered that their respective apartment buildings were both having laundry machine issues. Sucks to be them.

Pixie Dust; Thursday [07/10].

Luma came into work that day expecting the usual quiet day bordering on boredom, where she spent just as much time shopping and browsing for herself as the customers themselves did, but what she found instead made her stop as soon as she walked through the door to stare in astonishment.

The store wasn't completely empty, but just about, with vacant shelves and lonely hangers dangling on the racks.

"What happened?" she asked, but the evidence of half the answer was scattered about everywhere, shredded and torn clothes as the result of an unexpected raccoon attack.

The rest of it? Sent back due to a safety recall. Which Luma didn't really understand, but she sighed and got ready to spend her shift bored in a different way, with cleaning up and with no clothes to actually sell.

They still had a ton of shoes and accessories, though, at least?

Pixie Dust is open!

The Photo Hut - Thursday

Liz wasn’t too sure what had been happening with the laundry this week but it turned out that one of the very few outfits that she had left were ones that definitely were a bit more snug on her than she would have liked. She was a bit uncomfortable when she came downstairs to do some work that morning but she wanted to try and catch up on some of the work that she hadn’t gotten to in the last few weeks.

Fandom Island Museum, Thursday Daytime

All things considered it was perhaps amazing that Steven arrived at work on time. But he was extra motivated, what with needing to tell Blathers the news as well as make time to nip out during Stark's class.

In the meanwhile there were things to catch up on from while he was on holiday. And if Steven happened to do more things that used his left hand than he normally would well, he was absolutely doing that. Showing off the ring at the slightest opportunity and all that.

Plus it perhaps distracted from the tea he spilled on his shirt while he was running over here.

Perhaps he could quickly run home and change before Stark's class? He'd figure something out.

MCA Laundry room- Wednesday evening

Rey had already needed to do laundry before being drenched in various goos, so after she'd showered and changed she took everything to the laundry room. It started okay, but when she came back to get it after the wash cycle, everything was soaked, and it hadn't run the whole way through. This time it didn't start okay, and she was stuck with heavy clothes she didn't know what to do with.

Maybe she should text Danny and see if she could take this thing apart.

Just wait till she remembered she'd just purged her closet.

No Anakin today, which might make some people breathe a sigh of relief. Except instead you got his fairly similar granddaughter so you have fun with that.

Especially when there seemed to be a small obstacle course set up in the park, so.

"Welcome!" Jaina began, through a megaphone because if he got to use one, she wanted one too. "We're going to do a little obstacle course today. Nothing to be afraid of."

She read out this week's names:

Fandom Radio, Wednesday 7/9

*chittering*

Please stop asking me that. Just hand me the notes. I know there are plenty. Starting with the school, as usual.

The day started with Sam the eagle taking students to Even More National Parks, this time one in California with giant trees. Isabella and Aphra had a class on the beach. Oh, a class on ‘Beach’ that happened on the beach. Right. And then there was Paintball where Steve was a dog but still playing and I almost won this time but Beckett did win.

I have nothing from the dorms and the porg seems to be becoming resigned to his fate. Or at least he’s quieter about being sad now.

So now, the town. Plenty of notes from the town. Ignis had an uninterrupted shift at the diner which likely confused all of the other employees. Gladio was at the gym where the washing machines didn’t work and Nell was trying to fix them.

Remy was at Needful Things with a glowing stone of some sort that he left alone. That seems wise. Harley and her hyena came down to check on him and he told her to go to the park today. Remy. Why.

Harley took the hyena to the Perk but he wasn’t allowed in. Rey stopped to meet Bruce who is apparently a Good Boy and to talk to Harley. Pam was working with the plants in front of Pick Your Poison and Harley and Bruce also stopped in to see her and Pam invited them in for lunch.

At Caritas Kitty had a blender incident and Tino refused to put on a new shirt, I’m sorry Kitty.

*chittering*

I wasn’t leaving it out! I was just…waiting.

And in the morning. I went to take Summer to brunch and…say goodbye before she went away. For a while.

And that’s all I have. I’m done. Try to enjoy your day, everyone.

The Perk; Tuesday Noon-ish

There was a hyena lounging right outside the Perk, with a big thing of water in front of him.

Bruce wasn't blocking the door, although he was probably going to be eyeing anyone who entered (or attempted to enter) with some interest. But like, just interest! Unless, you know, you decided to start openly acting threatening towards him or his Harley. So, maybe don't?

Anyway, Harley herself was inside the coffee place, ordering a giant thing of iced coffee with every possible alteration and add-in that she thought would make it the best iced coffee drink of the day, maybe even the week. Hey, she'd acquiesced to the staff's request to leave Brucey outside - even though he was the bestest boy, yes he was! - so the least they could do in return was humor her ridiculous order.

(open, if you wanna brave the hyena, who is actually a very good boy!)

Pick Your Poison, Tuesday

It was another yard day - but not in the back. Instead, on Tuesday morning, Pam - wearing a sizable sunhat as she considered the weather - strode outside to check the pots out front of the store.

And then added a few more. Young climbing vines, that she pressed up against the facade of the building. Making it, too, come alive a little bit, rather than remaining such cold stone.

She hummed to herself as she worked, a childhood ditty that just wouldn't leave her mind.

(Even More) National Park Tours with Sam Eagle, Tuesday 7/8 1st period

“Good morning students! I am Sam Eagle and we shall be visiting National Parks!” Hopefully everyone had read Sam’s notice to meet outside Portalocity. If not, oh well, someone might miss out on the portal. Tsk.

“Today we shall be traveling to California to visit Redwood National Park. And perhaps the State Parks as well but those are less impressive!” That was not true because they were kind of all one park system but Sam was Sam.

“This park is home to the largest tree in the world! Named Hyperion! We will not be visiting this tree. Its location is not disclosed to protect it from people who might do it harm.” Sam needed a stronger word than weirdos for that. “But we will be seeing many impressive trees, never fear!”

“There are a number of visitor’s centers within the parks should you wish for information or to buy souvenirs. There are programs led by rangers and you are also welcome to hike or observe wildlife or simply enjoy the natural beauty of this majestic area until it is time to return. Let us go, students!”

Introductions? Nah. Unnecessary.

Needful Things, Tuesday

Oh hey! Look who remembered he was kinda sorta pretending to be employed somewhere!

Remy made his way into the shop in his usual manner (with lockpicks if Harley had remembered to lock the place up) and took a leisurely tour around to see if there was anything new or interesting on display.

. . . One of the decided fake-looking (but pretty!) gems was faintly glowing.

He watched it for several moments, trying to decide what to do about it. Should he pick it up? Ignore it? Was this a potential launching mechanism of a plotline adventure? Or a trap laid by a fiend?

. . . You know what? He didn't have the X-men's idiot ball right now, so he was just going to go ahead and leave that alone. Let someone else deal with the consequences of poking strange, glowing rocks.

He did put the entire counter of costume jewelry on sale, though. Just in case.

Outside MHA #4, Tuesday morning

Summer was leaving. Stark wasn't really ready for that but he was as ready as he could be. And she'd told him before and he had a chance to say goodbye (and some other things that might need to be said) and it wasn't the same as any other time and he was going to remind himself of that as often as necessary.

So they were going to go to brunch, this morning, before she left. Before he want and played paintball without her and started to try to adjust to this latest shift in their dynamic.

So he was here, knocking on her door as he'd done so many times before. It was the same and it was very different and he was going to try his best not to be weird about it.
