Diego didn't know where it was coming from, but ever since he walked into the station Kenny Loggins' classic song "Footloose" had been playing. Loudly. None of the troopers seemed to be bothered by it. A few of them were bobbing their heads along to the tune as they worked, in fact.

Well. If it wasn't gonna bother them it wasn't going to bother Diego. It was a good song.

[I've had this song in my head since Wednesday (silly spoilers for TUA). Open!]

With a break in the summer sessions ahead of him, Shunsui knew it was only a matter of time before he would be inundated with Jigokuchō from Nanao-chan about using his time wisely and returning to the Seireitei for various training and other things like....you know...doing his job. Which, of course, was a categorically unpleasant prospect, one that he knew was inevitable, but one that he figured he should try and put off for as long as possible, and then, once he was there, he could focus on trying to get out of it even still with making other plans with other Shinigami to continue to avoid it.

Which meant he figured he'd best try and get in some good park bench napping now while he still could. His time here would surely be limited; he was honestly a little surprised he hadn't been assaulted with hell butterflies the second his class was over on Monday.

Maybe Nanao-chan was in a bit of a rare good mood.

Or maybe she was just giving him a small amount of grace before unloading on him the nightmare of paperwork that surely awaited him.

Whatever it was, he was resolved to not worry about it until he absolutely had to and, for now, just enjoying a nice quiet nap on his favorite bench by the duck pond.

While he still could.

[[ open park is open! work is giving me 'could turn to hell at any moment' vibes atm, but let's hope not! ]]

It was a busy morning for Dwight. Several deliveries had been made the last few days, some of them quite large, and there were boxes stacked around the shop that still needed to be unpacked, added to inventory, and then set out. Most of it was odds and ends he needed around the shop, but there was some new hardware and accessories out in case anyone needed something for a quick and easy project. There was also a new shelving unit to put together and a stack of wood in the back storage room that needed to be organized still.

And so, with the morning run behind him, and a cup of coffee on the counter already half empty, Dwight got to work on trying to figure out the shelf. It wasn't anything special, and sure he could have just made a shelf himself, but he didn't need anything flashy or fancy and wanted to save the good wood for actual projects. So there he was, in the middle of the shop, a bunch of boards and screws and poles spread out around him as he stared a the sheet of instructions in his hand.

"Put pole A2 into the hole marked B1 on the shelf and secure with peg I2...." Dwight looked at the stuff littered around him and sighed, rubbing his head. Maybe it would have been easier to just have made the shelf himself....

Shop is open

(and I am desperate for distractions today)

Steven was a late sleeper when left to his own devices, which meant mornings were left to Marc if he wanted them.

It was Saturday so there wasn't much on the agenda. Marc had set up some shot glasses of rum on their apartment balcony to see if bribing squirrels really was a thing. Next was laundry where it was just as easy to wash both of their clothes at the same time as not.

Unfortunately it wasn't until he had everything in the machine that Marc realized he'd gotten detergent on his t-shirt. Oh well. He stripped it off and tossed it in with everything else.

He could run upstairs to get a replacement but on this island he didn't trust leaving the laundry alone for roving gangs of possums or whatever the hell to make off with it. So instead he took a seat and got out his phone to see what baseball games he could listen to while he waited.

[shameless excuse to use an icon is shameless. But very much open as well.]

Today was one of the greatest holidays of the year, if you asked Steph: Free RPG Day. She'd been prepping for this for months.

Spread out on tables throughout the store were stacks of free one-shot adventures for all kinds of game systems: D&D 5e, Pathfinder, Starfinder, Overlight (which was one that Steph was personally eyeing, since she hadn't played it yet and it looked fascinating), Powered by the Apocalypse, Cypher, and a whole bunch of cool indie TTRPGs.

She had maybe given a particularly prominent position to a certain new one-page RPG about a bunch of wizard familiars on their own mission, because it had been written by Grant Howitt and Marisha Ray. Look, as a fan she had her own shameless biases, and this was her store, okay?

The point was, there was a lot of free stuff, plenty of games to try out -- or take home and then try out -- and all of it geared towards new players, though Steph wouldn't complain if people wanted to buy things either.

Plus there was a sign at the counter:
It's the anniversary of Stonewall this weekend.
ALL proceeds from dice sales for the rest of June go to the Transgender Law Center.

Your friendly local game store was open for business on this fine Free RPG Day! Come in and browse, learn to play a new game, or hang out. Just... mind the pine cones.

Miguel came in and marched straight to the coffee pot. He held up a hand in case anybody tried to talk to him before he had at least two cups in him. "Not today."

They shrugged and got on with it.

Luke's was open! And in a mood.

Well, it looked like this was just the weather on the east coast and Eddie was going to have to adapt to it. He didn't have to like it, though.

And no, it wasn't annoying that Chris was doing better with the humidity than him. Not at all.

"I don't look like I need a cold drink," he muttered to himself as he, well, ordered a cold drink, having dropped Chris off on the mainland for one of the many summer activities that he insisted were good for his scholastic achievements.

Which was just a fancy way of saying he'd rather hang out with his new friends, if you asked Eddie.
