Gladio was spending a little less time just doing his rounds and tending to administrative tasks today, and a little more time just sort of hitting the weights and at one point one of the punching bags, in a way to sort of work through some of his distracted thoughts about the Jetty's he'd found yesterday. Unsurprisingly, when he swung by Portalocity before coming in to talk with the gnomes, they....well, understandably, they were a little reluctant to deal with him, especially when they had bad news, because of how he'd kind of acted when he'd first got stuck here, but after some convincing that he'd settled down with all that now, they looked into it and reported that, yeah, no, access to Eos seemed to still be blocked or even nonexistent. Which meant he'd just have to wait on what Summer came up with on the store's end.

But waiting for answers meant thinking about all the other questions that had cropped up, and thinking about those questions and not being entirely sure of those answers left Gladio feeling pretty out of sorts that day, and trying to just not think about it in the best ways he knew how: distraction through sweat and (eventually) Cup Noodle^TM.

Atlas is open!

Prompto was unexpectedly busy at the computer that day, a new box of camera straps that could go out on the shelf going a bit ignored as he started with checking his email to see if he'd gotten any hits for photography gigs for the weekend, only to find that he actually had, one that he was absolutely interested in taking, but it was so last notice that he had to do a lot of poking and figuring things out and emailing to do.

But, like, if a professional cosplayer reaches out to you and asks if you'd be interested in being hired to do a bunch of photo shoots at a convention that weekend, uhhhh....you definitely are going to take that job! Their usual photographer had to duck out, so they were putting out some feelers, and the last-minute nature of it was a little tricky to negotiate, but by the end of the day, he was determined to figure something out!

The Photo Hut is open!

[[ and totally inspired by the brilliance of the professional photographer at ACen last weekend cosplaying as Prompto, because, I mean, *chef's kiss*]]

Ignis was really ready to put yesterday's gremlin bite well behind him, in the hopes that, really, besides Summer and Stewart and the radio squirrels (well, and Apu, he supposed, maybe the cheese panda) were even aware of such a thing and it could be slipped neatly into the ether to be forgotten, for the most part, or at least ignored henceforth.

But what Ignis hadn't realized was that Greg had been doing his own personal grocery shopping on late Monday afternoons, and so now....there was video.

Sure, they tried to hide the fact that they were watching it, but Ignis could practically feel it, and that song would forever be branded into his brain to send off some sort of immediate cringing response.

He was, of course, going to staunchly ignore it and just focus on his specials and his coffee, and remind himself that there existed out there video of him performing with Noct, Prompto, and Gladio as a boy band for Nina's birthday, as well, and at least, with this new embarrassing edition to his performing arts, he knew he had better hair in this recent one...

For a while now, Amaya had (somewhat lowkey and secretly, but also probably not surprising no one, much to her chagrin) been keeping up with fashion trends, an interest that really had developed two-fold in that her....erm, well, she never did like putting too fine a point on it, so let's just come out and say that fashion was clearly relevant to Irene's interests, and therefor they were relevant to Amaya's interests now, but Amaya's interests had always included making money, and she was finding that fashion was even more profitable than weaponry these days.

So, when she took a break from weaponry to let a piece cool before adding more to it, she was checking through some posts on her phone and came across this dress and squinted at it a lot.

On the one hand, she'd done metal flowers months before this, so there was some kind of pride in having called it, but there was also that little bit of irritation that made her feel that now all her metal flower fashion collaborations were going to come off as just following the trend instead of following it, and now she had grumbling complaints about it as she inspected the workmanship on the dress as best she could and trying to decide if she wanted to give into the temptation to recreate it, but, you know, better or to just take a break and try to think of something else to to focus on.

But metal and flowers were her thing!

Maybe she should get in on it before metal and meats-on-sticks became popular...

The Forge is open!

When Dean woke up this morning he was not a dog. He was however a woman. Thankfully several people on the island had warned him of this event so necessary clothing had been purchased ahead of time.

She was still wearing flannel but it was oversized on her frame and the Metallica t-shirt was as well. Luckily there was a pair of sweatpants that had a drawstring but even that was barely holding up. Don’t even get started with shoes.

Anyhow that’s the reason why the chair didn’t even get a chance to try and attack Dean today. She had had enough and chained it up as soon as the store was opened.

It was already shaping up to be a hot day so Wanda was out early, dressing Jeff up for the summer. It was only due to magic that those swim trunks got on him without Wanda knocking Jeff over entirely and she was currently using her powers to get a big ol' floppy hat on his head.

Just needed to add sunglasses and he'd be beach ready.

There were some weird calls Diego had to sift through during his shift today. He didn't know exactly what was going on, but people had some weird ass complaints. Different colored hair, waking up with boobs, all stuff that Diego couldn't really do anything about but he'd log them as complaints anyway.

He was a cop, not a magician. These people would have to solve their own problems.

Buck certainly hadn't ordered the three giant boxes of super soakers that were on the doorstep of the fire station when he came in this morning. That would be a irresponsible use of taxpayer money. However, since they were already here, he might as well test them out.

Looks like they found a new activity for the open house when they had it.

[Open]

Kitty was set on having a normal day today. She got in on time, started getting things set up, phased into her office for a minute, and when she got out, Tino had updated the specials board.

SPECIALS
Long Island Iced Sweet Tea

"Oh that doesn't end anywhere good," Kitty said.

Nell was a bit distracted today after her talk with Gladio, but luckily her work at the store kept her pretty busy all day. Working with plants always made her feel more settled and grounded.

Maybe this afternoon or tonight would be a good time to go out into the preserve and commune with the land.

In any case, Plant Parenthood was open.

Another person might have woken up exhausted and hung over if they'd had a night like Charlie's. Luckily, a charm or two prevented that, leaving her bright eyed and bushy-tailed. Not literally, which in Fandom was important to note.

Anyone stopping by would find her in a fine mood and very happy to hang out.

Today, Lucy was actually doing something a little old-fashioned at work. Once she'd taken care of the repairs that needed doing, she was using her downtime to examine a couple of different large, folding paper maps she'd gotten.

You know, you're lied to about two hundred years of history, you can't really rely on your own previous knowledge of what the US of 2024 looked like, right? And while she'd figured out the island by foot pretty well, now, there was a whole bunch of land across that causeway. It would be silly to assume everything was like here.

[open if a little slow!]

Had Remy actually been hired to work a shift at the antique shop? Absolutely not.

Was he showing up, slipping past any security Harley had set up, and seating himself casually behind the sales desk anyway?

He sure was.

What could he say? The island -- and its attendant freedom from the pressures of being visibly a mutant in his own world -- had him feeling puckish.

He wasn't quite brazen enough to post a sign about any random sales, but that was mostly because he couldn't decide which random items to put on sale yet. He did put on some music though. Something cheerful and welcoming. And played forward, thank you.

[shop busted into with permission. Open!]

Steve was being extremely productive today. He'd taken two showers (thanks for that, weird cooking class involving hunting a scorpion for lunch) and was now hangng up party invitations for next week on easily visible light poles.

Fandom First Responders BBQ and Open House
Chili, Grilled Stuff, Cold Beer*

(or don't and we'll track you down and get you one anyway)

*If applicable. If you can't drink in Dean's class, you can't drink here

[OOC: Mostly establishy, but open if you want to chat!]

Arden hadn't really been sleeping well recently and had decided to go for a walk about it tonight rather than just stay in her room staring up at the ceiling. The weather was warm enough that she didn't even bother changing out of her nightshirt or put on shoes, just let herself out of the manor and walked along the beach for awhile, trying not to think, to just empty out her mind and be one with the air, just like she'd tried during medit--never mind.

Sadly, that had worked about as well as it had during meditation - though she hadn't kicked up a hurricane this time, so progress! - and so partway through her walk, she decided that if she couldn't shut up her whirling thoughts by will alone, she could at least tire herself out enough to sleep instead.

Maybe it was today's trip to the Falls and a reminder of how much she enjoyed swimming. Maybe it was how inviting the ocean looked, reflecting the stars. Maybe it was because running in sand sucked. Or maybe it was Irony having its way. Either way, Arden looked at the ocean, then down at her pjs, and then back at the ocean. Wearing wet clothes sucked but it was the middle of the night. Who was even going to be around this late?

Terrible decision made, she shucked off her nightshirt, leaving it right there on the beach, and waded into the water. It was cooler than she'd expected, but she dove under anyway and once she got actually swimming, she warmed right up. Huh. It turned out skinny dipping was fun. No wonder all her teachers had done it!

[Open for anyone out for a late night beach stroll, but warning for the (obvious) potential nudity! There will be no accidental flashing unless agreed upon OOCly!]
