Trooper Station, Monday, July 21

Steve was on the phone with the Baltimore police. "No," he said. "No. No, sir, we haven't seen anything like that, but if we do run into two Welsh guys and a stolen penguin named Dirk, you'll be our first call."

He hung up and turned to Calvin. "Can you go check in with the raccoons and check that there's not a new penguin here named Dirk?"

How was this his life. How.

The Trooper Station was open, especially if you were a penguin named Dirk.

Pizza Planet, Monday

There were no gremlin breakups happening in the supply closet this week. All of the deliveries had gone off how they were supposed to. Nothing weird was coming out of the taps.

"Suspicious," Raiden agreed, "but we're gonna go with it until all hell breaks loose."

Specials

Movies in the Park- The park, obviously, Monday night

The park was set up with a large screen for the movie to project onto, the sound system was up and working, and there was plenty of room for people to spread out with blankets, chairs, picnic supplies, or whatever else they might have brought. Alcohol was fine as long as you kept in mind that this was a family-friendly event, in that younger kids would only probably really be interested in the cars and older kids might enjoy the actual movie.

So come one and come all, and watch yourselves some 2 Fast 2 Family.

The Magpie Emporium, Monday [21/07]

Because reasons, Vi came back from class with pizza for lunch. Several boxes in fact.

Enough pizza that some people might even venture it was too much pizza.

Those people were wrong.

The Perk; Sunday Afternoon [07/20].

If it weren't so dang hot out, Luma might have been inclined to go on a nice run today. She was feeling pretty restless, though, and unwilling to just stay inside, so she figured it would be a good idea to grab some new book she'd picked up recently that sounded promising and head to the Perk for one of those yummy blended coffee drinks, and a cinnamon roll, too.

Oooh, or perhaps one of those berry tarts!

No, no. The cinnamon roll.

But those tarts...

...clearly, she was getting both. She could practically burn it all off just by transforming a few times, anyway, really...

[[ and open, of course! ]]

At the Door to Harley's Apartment, Needful Things, Sunday

There were a lot of opportunities in a year for someone like Harley Quinn to feel lonely. Pam knew that. Harley's birthday was a major one - one of several reasons why she was happy to be home in Gotham right now, making sure Harley-her-Harley had the best birthday of her life.

But she hadn't forgotten about the one in Fandom. So she'd prepared this package early in the week, packed it carefully, and given it to a rickshaw driver with specific delivery instructions.

He followed the instructions to the letter. He left the little basket of colorful flowers at Harley's doorstep, along with a tiny watering can and a note.

Put them in the full sun and water once every two weeks.

Some call them harlequin flowers.

Happy birthday, Harley.

-- Pam

Per instructions, after ringing the bell, the rickshaw driver got the hell out of dodge.

Fandom Radio - Sunday (7/20)

Okay, it's Sunday once again... and there are notes! A change from how things have gone recently. Let's get started with the new brunch place, Over Easy where Raiden contemplated a healthy diet for a bird before a black cat who is actually Liliana came looking for food. Well. So long as she doesn't turn into a pony, I guess it's not stealing my thing. Over at Caritas, Jane dealt with Tino being Tino about the drink specials. That fully tracks from my brief interactions with him, yes.

And that is all there is. So everyone enjoy yourselves. Hope to see people tomorrow at the movies in the park.

Stark Industries- Sunday

Rey didn't really do things for her birthday, so today was pretty much a regular day where she talked to people from home more than usual.

She did however get free Starbucks today, and she'd been sort of upsold into a venti so now she got to work with a giant pink drink. It was for the best they didn't get her a trenta. She'd be horrified.

[Open!]

Regent's Park, London, Sunday Afternoon

Normally they only made a quick day trip to London on Saturdays. But Steven and Llewellyn had wanted to go on a bike ride and have a picnic, and it'd been ages since they'd gone to Regent's Park. Which made it more sensible to stay over in the London flat than it was to make two trips.

Besides, that way they had their first night in the flat as a married couple.

The next day they rented bicycles and took the easy loop around the park. Steven needed a little time to get used to it again but it was, indeed, just like riding a bike.

Once they'd worked up an appetite they stopped off at one of the many dining spots to get lunch to go and eat while enjoying the sights.

Steven pointed out a table in a shady spot. "How about there?"

[for the hubby]

Caritas, Saturday (7/19)

Tino had spent time on the mainland now that the number of bartenders here on Fandom had gone down. And he was now making that into Jane's problem with the drink specials.

Honestly, she was just glad that he didn't have a replica of one of her outfits again. That had just been the weirdest part of that one weekend. And that was saying something.

Long Island Iced Tea

At least the drinks seemed drinkable.

Fandom Radio, Saturday, July 19

Good morning, everyone--and it is a good morning, as there were no horrid 'drills' yesterday, so let us learn what did happen, shan't we?

At the school, Drama in the Park-a-Rama announced the cast of their play, and Markets of the Worlds visited a farmer's market on Dantooine. There was produce, of a sort. Mr. Rand claimed he was too 'New York' to enjoy the experience. First Aid reviewed proper triage procedure, with Captain Flint having some questions about...amputations.

Let's move along quickly from that, shall we? I've nothing for the dormitory, but in the town, Detective Watts was singing at the Trooper Station before he was joined for luncheon by Mr. Grant. Miss Eleanor was working on some sleep aids at Plant Parenthood, whilst at Needful Things, it seems hand fans were on sale--most needful in this weather--and I've a note that it will be Dr. Quinn's birthday tomorrow! Many happy returns, Miss. Miss Skywalker was dealing with a plague of confetti at her warehouse, which caused Dean Skywalker to worry he had missed some sort of celebration. Dr. Isley took a break from her research at Pick Your Poison to take a walk with Dr. Quinn. And lastly, but far from least, Dr. Pryde-Barton was about town putting up flyers for a "movie night" in the park on Monday evening. It seems they shall be showing 2 Fast 2 Family, a thrilling tale of fast cars and even faster friendships, and I'm sure it shall be a lovely time for all, even though I'm not sure how entertaining automobiles can be. Until next week, dear listeners!

Over Easy, Saturday

Raiden was back at work today at Over Easy, but he was a smidgen distracted by trying to find out what constituted a balanced meal for a bird.

You know. Normal problems.

"I feel like we should provide options for when people turn into things, but there's so much variety. I don't know what to feed a plant!...You're right. Plant food."

Around town- Friday late afternoon

The way Kitty saw it, it was worth coming up with a reason for people to gather at night without it being kraken-related, and lo, an idea was had. And now she got to go around town putting up posters.

Pick Your Poison, Friday Afternoon

Pam would be lying if she said she wasn't concerned about the data she was dragging - with difficulty - out of her lamia research, or the pace at which she was creating antidotes. Very, very, very much lying.

It was dragging her away from Gotham, away from Harley, and to her lab more and more often. She felt... a little guilty about that. Especially now, with the latest batch cooking upstairs. She should be heading home, tucking in for a lavish weekend with the girlfriend. Instead, she was here. Back on the steps of Pick Your Poison, sipping from a glass of water to calm the annoying churn under her ribs, and watching her plants grow.

Faster and faster. Some of the vines were already halfway up the side of the doorframe.

Well. At least they were absolutely sure now that Harley was right about her old powers not being quite gone.

Rey's warehouse- Friday afternoon

Rey had gone into one of the storage lockers to get the remotes, only to immediate have confetti explode all over. No woodchucks in sight, so she couldn't blame them. Must be a Fandom thing.

She took the remotes out, started to set them up, and one again shot out confetti from it. She didn't even know where it was coming from. There was no confetti compartment in these things.

Cool, she'd just put it back and do something else, only for more confetti to does out when she opened the locker again.

All right, just going to do nothing today. Nothing was safe.

[idk. Open!]

Fandom Radio, Friday, July 18

Good morning, everyone, this is Steve Rogers back on air and thankfully no longer a dog.

*chittering*

No, the other three dogs in the tower are always supposed to be dogs. Let's get to the notes! In classes, Finding New Hobbies decorated sugar cookies, Liliana ranted about rocks, mass extinction events, and someone named Urza to her class, and Raiden took the pizza class to Harlem to enjoy New York-style pizza. It wasn't as good as Brooklyn pizza.

*chittering*

Of course I'm going to say that. Finally, Belle was cleaning the library.

In town, Nell stopped by the museum with congratulatory honey bread for Steven to celebrate his wedding to Watts. I missed some stuff while I was indisposed for the week, huh? Lydia and the Supper Club went to Mooby Land for the evening. Ignis made sure that Liliana could attend, even if she'd turned into a cat somewhere between class and supper. Lydia correctly noted that turning into animals--and plants, sorry to hear that, Adrian--is going around. Rey told Lydia that the food at the restaurant was good, and Flint warned Lydia that this was food to be eaten with your hands. Flint caught up with Rey about what he'd missed last week when he'd been a parrot. And Thor was shirtless at the Devil's Nest last night. As a friend, that's kind of awkward to report, but as an artist, I'm kind of sorry anyone missed seeing that.

*chittering*

Exactly. His arms are unreal.

*chittering*

And Tony agrees with me. But that's everything! Have a good weekend.

Needful Things; Friday

Harley was having a weird week, and not in the fun, distracting island way, just in the annoyingly complicated human way where you had to have conversations you didn't entirely know what to do with that just kinda left you restless.

Also it was gonna be her birthday on Sunday and she had no plans whatsoever and ugh and bleugh and all that stuff.

But hey, antique hand fans were on sale! That was something!

(open!)

Plant Parenthood; Friday [07/18].

Now that they didn't have a weekly class together that was basically a period of Luma making pointed remarks at Eleanor and giving her hard, disparaging looks, Eleanor had been feeling a lot better about having her sister here. Luma was still struggling with a lot of things, but she'd also taken to a lot of other things pretty well, and, frustrating as it could be for the both of them sometimes, Eleanor was glad to be here to help.

But she was also glad for those moments, like going into the store for her shift on Friday, where she could just sort of get away by herself for a while. She probably wasn't ever going to get to that the plants just get me point, but she had gotten a lot better at them, so much so that she didn't even worry about how her drakondias were holding up anymore. So it was now a comfortable thing, which she was learning to fully embrace when she could since life with Luma was anything but.

And she could do things while she was here like making little sleep sachets or teas for her that will help make things a bit more comfortable in that regard, too.

Plant Parenthood is open!

Trooper Station, Friday

As per usual, there wasn't much to do at the Trooper Station, but what there was to be done, Watts was quietly singing to himself while doing it.

Ralph had tried to join in at one point, but the other Troopers were of the opinion that he couldn't carry a tune in a bucket (you'd think they'd all have the same level of skill there, given that they were clones, but apparently not?), and thus he'd been rather quickly shushed.

[ooc: Yes, I know the song is technically after his time. But if a version 'Fairytale of New York' can canonically exist in his canon, then so can this song.]

Mooby Land, Thursday Evening

Did you know, Lydia had never actually been to Mooby Land before! The previous time the Supper Club had selected this establishment, she had been unavailable that week, but she believed Captain Flint and Mr. Logan had tried it (she wished Mr. Logan well, wherever he was), and she must admit to a certain curiosity. She hadn't the faintest idea what a 'Mooby' was, or where their land was located.

This was bound to go well. Welcome to Supper Club, everyone!
