Job Fair, The Park, Sunday

While the weather seemed to be on-again-off-again sputtering rain today, the island, perhaps recognizing that outdoor job fairs didn't tend to work well in the rain, had provided a large canopy in the park, under which numerous booths were neatly set up, awaiting employers to fill them. Notices had handwavily gone out advertising the event, and so the usual contingent of food vendors had congregated on the outskirts of the park, shaking off their summertime 'this is for Wednesday' mindset in order to provide cheap fried goods to folks who were swinging by as an excuse to get out and be social today.

There, the island had done its part. Fandom's locals were welcome to do whatsoever they pleased with it from here.

Bob showed up as soon as he'd checked the shop over. He took one look at the booth and sighed. "I had thought that thing might be gone by now."

"I'm pretty sure we're stuck with it," Norman replied, hiking up a shoulder a little. "It seems okay with that, at least."

So long as it doesn't try to eat everybody? He wasn't sure what it ate, exactly.
nuclear_snide: (really?)

"Just until somebody comes at it with a slice of bread." Bob gave the thing a half-hearted glare.
always_someone: (Thoughtful)

"... Maybe it eats bread?"

Norman had no idea. It was small and squishy and too cute to destroy, anyway.
nuclear_snide: (WTF)

"Only one way to find out," Bob said.
always_someone: (Wow Not Super Great)

"Are you suggesting I should try to beat on the jelly demon with bread?"

Norman was on to you, Bob.
nuclear_snide: (sly)

"Not beat on it," Bob protested. "Just...come at it with a slice, see what happens."

"You really don't like the little guy, huh?"

Norman was trying very hard to not look amused, now.
nuclear_snide: (Mm-hm.)

"It's adorable," Bob said. "I don't trust it."
always_someone: (Chatty)

"It squeaks!"

It would probably devour them all someday.
nuclear_snide: (Talking)

"That's no guarantee it isn't evil incarnate!" Bob pointed out.

He had no basis for that, but he didn't trust it.
always_someone: (Wow Not Super Great)

"If it's evil incarnate and it can be destroyed by bread, I'm not actually half as concerned as I apparently should be."

Sorry, Bob.
nuclear_snide: (shocked)

"Which is precisely why we should know if that's a weakness!" Bob pointed out. Reasonably, he thought.

"... Will you feel better if I bring a sandwich for it on Tuesday, Bob?"

Norman was quietly judging him, here.

nuclear_snide: (Well then)

"I would, thank you." Bob judged more noisily. "We'll never know if you don't try it."
