Thursday, December 5th, 2024

For over a week now, there had been a pot of lovely, glossy black hollyhocks. They had been fed and watered by the kindness of their boss, they had enjoyed the sunshine when it reached them, they had existed in the not-time of plants, so separate from the bustling world of Animalia. It was a soft, warm, easy existence.

Sadly, it could not last. Which was why, roughly two hours after his shift was normally scheduled to begin, the stand of hollyhocks shivered, shimmered, and suddenly there was a naked man perched on the counter where a flowerpot once sat.

"...Well, this is going to be a time."

Luckily Steven had an umbrella with him to keep him safe as he went to work that morning. Not that marzipan was particularly painful but even so it was nice to have the protection.

Once indoors, Steven watched it come down and wondered what to do. Seemed wasteful to let it fall to the ground like that.

After some debate he found some empty buckets used for cleaning. He put bin liners in them and then put the buckets out by the front door. Perhaps debatable if anyone would want to eat them out of those particular vessels, liners or not, but at least Steven could deal with the results later? Possibly?

At least his own snacks were sorted if he got peckish during the day.

It was the first Thursday of the month, and, according to the grand schemes of previous months' Stewart, that meant it was time for another Open Mic Night at Groovy Tunes. He had almost thought about canceling, though; he'd been in sort of a funk this week and had only ~~oh so handwavily~~ somewhat unenthusiastically went around putting up flyers earlier this week to remind everyone, in case they forgot or just didn't care. Because he knew that if he did cancel this month, out of apathy or ennui or just general holiday blues, then it would be difficult to get himself to get it started again next month, and then the whole thing would fizzle before it even really got off the ground.

And people actually had shown up last month.

And if people didn't show up this month, he could just tell himself it was because everyone was busy with holiday bullshit.

So there really was no reason not to hold it this month, and so he was there at the shop getting it ready and dealing with customers in the day before setting things up on the stage for the performances that evening.

Groovy Tunes is open!

The gremlins were behaving today.

Was it because Yelena threatened to shoot them in the kneecaps again?

Maybe.

Was it because there was an ugly badger snarling at them constantly?

That's the more likely reason.

Any which way, Yelena was enjoying the quiet despite being pelted with marzipan this morning.

Putting up signs about the holiday party would have been easier if Tony hadn't turned into a cat.

Putting up the signs about the holiday party would have been much easier if Thor hadn't also turned into a goat.

Putting up the signs about the holiday party would have been much, much easier if it wasn't also raining marzipan, and yet Steve prevailed!

"Thor, stop eating the marzipan," he scolded, taping a sign to the pole. "Patty, you too."

Both corgi and goat ignored him while the Tony cat sat on his shoulder yowling disapproval about being outside in the weather.

HAVE A COOL YULE
Celebrate the festive season with us!
Stark Tower, Friday, December 13th, after sunset
Food, Drink, ~~festive bonfire atop the building~~ no ~~but it is traditional!~~ Revels
Festive attire encouraged!

This was why you didn't write an invitation with a committee, Steve thought with an internal sigh.

"...Thor, stop eating the invitations."

It had taken some doing, but the cashier had finally managed to convince Boc to go outside, even if just for a moment, to check out the marzipan, and the results were...

...well...let's just say, Boc wasn't getting much work done now, due to constantly sticky marzipan paws, but his sweet tooth was very well satisfied now.

And the best thing was that there continued to be more!

Pixie Dust is open!

Since Liz didn’t need to go outside that morning to get to work, she hadn’t realised that it was raining marzipan and was unaware of it as she worked on the last of the spreadsheets and reports from the last month and before she started setting up the paperwork for December. She had brought up some boxes of Christmas decorations and was planning on doing some decorating later but for now she was focused on making sure that the work that needed to be done was finished before she could start decorating.
