Once again Marc was in one of the local establishments pondering buying things for more than himself for reasons he was not examining too closely.

Which was a shame because if he had he might be doing better than last time. As it was he was staring at the offerings at J,GoB and thinking okay, chocolate doughnut for Illyana, muffins for Steven and Watts, and...

Shit, there was something Arden wasn't good on in the sweets department, right? Vanilla maybe? Cream cheese?

Asking was cheating so of course Marc wasn't going to do that. Instead he was going to stare at what was on offer and see if inspiration came to him. Either that or he'd bribe the person behind the counter to come up with something. One of those.

Eric was --horrors-- behind the bar tonight because Tiny had claimed that seeing ~~meta for~~ Princess Bride was part of his religious tradition and you know, Eric just didn't want to ask follow-up questions.

Tiny was gone, Eric was only going to get you drinks that required the least possible effort, but the Devil's Nest was open?

Steve ~~had been here every day, RL just got busy~~ was back at the office after the weekend and returned just in time to answer the phone that the Troopers had been very obviously avoiding.

Ralph muttered something under his breath about that being Steve's funeral and that was the only warning Steve had before the Bee Lady was giving him an earful about their heartlessness in overlooking National Honeybee Day.

When she finally took a breath, Steve quickly offered, "We can send a card?" and that set her off for another five minutes.

Apparently, the only way to mend this fence was to send individualized cards to each of her bees, who were all, individually, very hurt.

"Uh huh," Steve said, hanging up. He wasn't going to do that. The tiny cards on the Troopers' desk said that they were much more afraid of the Bee Lady and her consequences.

The Trooper Station was open and bird free, at least? There was no guarantee an angry swarm of bees wasn't in-bound.

"Welcome to our final class," Jon said. "Ordinarily, I'd have a final, but I'm not even sure what that would look like for this, honestly. Who can waste time the best? I don't know how to measure that. So instead, I've got a cat video that will take up the entire class time. You can sit here and watch it while you also look at other things on your phone. Because multitasking is a wonderful way to waste time on the internet."

Stabby was...tap dancing? Yep. Tapping on the front desk.

"How did he get the shoes?" Stark asked.

"SeaBay. It's always SeaBay with him," a nurse said dismissively.

Stark nodded because that was true and set down the coffees.

"I didn't realize he could do this," Stark said, keeping his eye on the crab. "Do you think he dances often?"

"Looks like he practices, doesn't it?"

Stark had to nod again.

The clinic was open, the crab was dancing, and the alien was in.

The students should have gotten a ~~handwaved~~ notice to dress nicely and meet outside the school, where they would find Ghanima and Trebor waiting for them next to a portal.

"Right." Reaching in her coat pocket, Ghanima retrieved a deck of the Dune Tarot and fanned the cards at them. "Step right up, and ask me what today holds for you. Through there -" she gestured at the portal with the cards, " - is Monaco. Home to some of the most wonderful casinos this Earth holds. I am giving each of you fifty dollars. Your mission is to take the future I forsee, and try to beat it. If I tell you that you are destined to win big, sit outside and give away money. If I say you fail, go cheat the casino by whatever means you choose. The one rule is not to get caught, because I am not paying for bail. I want to see how many of you manage to flaunt destiny."

"After all," she grinned humorlessly, flipping up the Hanged Man with ease. "Navigating the future is a family talent. Who wants to try and beat the oracular Atreides?"

The Danger Shop looked a lot like the park today. And there was a truck full of weapons on the ground between the teachers. In case that told you anything.

"You've been a very capable class," Jag told them, a very high compliment. "For our last class, you're going to be able to let loose a bit."

"We're going to have a good old-fashioned invasion," Jaina told them. "You can choose a weapon, and the monsters are programmed in a way that you'll have to fight them together. Defeat them, and then you're prepared for the next time that happens."

Today class was in the Danger Shop. What dire task was going to be set before them for their final? Whatever it was, it was behind curtains because your teachers loved themselves a dramatic reveal. "Welcome to our final time together, though I also encourage everyone to take our upcoming class in the Fall, which will include fewer gifts for the teachers."

But probably not zero gifts for the teachers, now that Anakin had learned he could get people to bring him gifts.

Speaking of, it was time to present your latest and last offerings.

Once they had been judged, Ahsoka led each student in turn to a plinth near the curtains. "We will be judging the skill and speed of your roasting skills today," she informed them. "After each figure behind the curtain is revealed, you must roast them as quickly and relevantly as possible. Fastest roaster wins, best roaster gets bonus points."

"For clarification," Anakin said with a little smile at Henry, "we mean you should say mean but funny things about the figures, not cook them."

Did Ahsoka seem especially amused right now? Maybe.

Had there been a two week break in this? Yes. But shhh. The screen was out, there was plenty of room, and the screen was back up and the movie was cued up, just waiting for the sun to set enough to see it.

Enjoy ~~the meta for~~ The Princess Bride! It's a kissing movie.

When Nell arrived to open the shop today she found stacks of what appeared to be mail order catalogs being dropped off. She tried to explain that she hadn't ordered them and didn't need them, but the mail person insisted that they had to drop them off because of what day it was.

"Monday?" Nell asked, with a note in her voice that suggested it was hopeless to even ask, and indeed she just got an eye roll before they headed off for their next stop.

Nell sighed and brought the stack inside before setting to work. Periodically throughout the day, if she had a break, she'd pick one up at random and leaf through it. Some of them were ridiculously expensive or had ridiculous offerings. Sometimes both.

Come distract her!

Harley-her-Harley had not come home last night. Instead, Pam had received a nigh-indecipherable string of emojis and exclamation marks, from which she'd deduced that the situation was still ongoing but not to worry.

Which made her worry.

Between that and the anger and the worry about Adrian, she'd be spending the early morning hours tearing through the store with a broom. Maybe there were some corners Adrian hadn't reached last week?

The store was open. Ish.

Good morning all, it's time for me to report on what happened yesterday. Which was not much at all, with Dr. Isley in her shop and myself at the Perk, where Dr. Quinn also stopped by to order a beverage.

I'm sure you're all very surprised to learn that is, in fact, everything of note for yesterday. Until next week, Fandom.

There were a number of broken bottles, mirrors, and various and sundry items around the store today. And also one necromancer currently having fun with the day's most recent shipment. The thunder lasso she had received was a great deal of fun to play with. Not only did it make her stronger and tougher when she equipped it, but with a quick flick of her wrist, she was lassoing things over and knocking them done with ease.

The haunted armor did not appreciate being used for practice, but was also used to its lot in life as it once again picked itself up off the ground. Just to once again feel the lariat slide over its shoulders and--CRASH! Yup. Once again ~~tapped~~ prone on the ground.

"All right, all right, I'll put this away in the window," Liliana said. "You've got a lot to clean up around here anyway."

The haunted armor once more pushed itself up to its feet. No lasso. Went to the cleaning closet. No lasso. Grabbed a broom. No lasso. Started to sweep--

Lasso.

Once more it went crashing to the floor as Liliana laughed. "Couldn't resist," she said with a brilliant grin, before skipping off to the desk, leaving the haunted armor to start the whole process all over again.

You know, I'm starting to think you all kidnap me for the hell of it. Since you have a singular note for me to read and all. Hi, everyone. Here's the news from yesterday... Raiden had a normal food delivery and that felt weird. Because this island.

Swing by the shop sometime, there's a drawer that randomly has citrus in it.

Everyone have a lovely day and try not to melt with the summer heat.

With Marc off taking care of business in London (exactly what business, Watts didn't ask and Marc didn't offer, beyond letting him know he'd text Watts if it took longer than originally anticipated), the house was quieter than usual. Which perhaps explained why Watts was currently at the Perk, notebook open and Polish dictionary in hand as he worked through some language lessons on his mobile telephone, pausing occasionally to take a sip of his mocha or to put on headphones and listen to an audio clip.

Ooh, was that a half-eaten danish the patrons at the next table over had left behind? Watts leaned over to snag it before the staff could come by to tidy the table and toss out a perfectly good snack.

( In which Ivy yells and poor Janet-from-HR once again can't get a word in. )

"Thanks." She ended the call. Observed the newly-restored order in front of her, and felt a brief wave of faintness come over her. She should probably hydrate...

With a sigh, she took the stairs back down, poured herself a cup of water, and then opened the door to the store to let some fresh air in.

Ugh.

Things were still going suspiciously well at Over Easy. Raiden made a patrol through the whole restaurant, checking the walk-in for weird ingredients and the closets for gremlins.

Nothing.

"And all the deliveries came in okay? You got some rhubarb we didn't order but just one crate? You know what, I'll take it. Fine. Something weird finally happened.

The weirdness was rhubarb. Why not?

Good morning, everyone! It is I, Miss Lydia Bennet, here to bring you all the news the squirrels could scribble down before they passed out. Drink is a terrible vice, you know.

*angry chittering*

Oh, get over it. Now let me see...ah! Of course. We shall begin with the school, as we always do. Drama in the Park-a-Rama was learning to do stunts, with Mr. Rogers disappointed there were no shields available. Markets of the World visited Spain, where Mr. Rand and Miss Beniko discussed snails and the capitals of Europe. I imagine one can find snails in most of them. First Aid 2: First Aider discussed, ah, substances which may be intoxicating and addictive, a unit which I hope the squirrels learned something from.

I'm not seeing anything from the dormitory, so we shall move along to the town, where at the Trooper Station birds were being held for, I quote, 'bird crimes,' so Mr. Grant and Detective Watts elected to move their luncheon outside. Dr. Quinn was doing...something at Needful Things, but the squirrel on that beat seems to have gotten distracted by something halfway through writing this note. Perhaps I shall give the porg your job and assign you to the dormitory. Mr. Henry did some sketching in the park--ah, that sounds a lovely way to spend an afternoon! Miss Skywalker was enjoying some snacks at her warehouse, where she was joined by Dean Skywalker and they discussed her recent trip and--oh! Miss Skywalker! Are you coming with us to the market? We shall make a shopper of you yet! At Plant Parenthood, Miss Eleanor was doing some shopping of her own, as well as a bit of plant husbandry. Mr. Argentum was not a fan of the theme of the day at Turtle & Canary, but Mr. James Stark liked his hat, and asked him to join his class in the coming week to discuss photography. Well, it's not hard! You just snap a picture with your phone and then add a few filters, is all. Imagine a whole class on it!

That does seem to be the end of my notes for this week, dear listeners, so I shall bid you farewell until next Saturday, when heavens know what will have happened. Best of luck in the coming week!
