Turtle & Canary; Monday [04/29].

Summer's recent bout of squirreling had gone on for well over a week now, and so she'd become increasingly insistent about Stark not dragging her around everywhere, and this caution was proven wise when, not very long after he left to go to the clinic, she was, in fact, back to herself again, in the comfort of her own home, as it should be. And since a glance at her phone told her immediately that it was Monday, she figured she'd take care of a few things, have a nice long shower, and do the most boring and terribly normal thing for a human to do: go to fucking work.

Especially since she'd heard from the other squirrels that Prompto had turned into an animal, too, which meant it was just Apu and the usual animals in the store, and, sure, the store pretty much would run itself when left to its own devices, but she felt Apu would appreciate that Summer was able to help again.

Of course, she walked in, saw a hug display about zippers, noticed anything with zippers was 50% off today, let out a little sigh and a shake of her head, but it was mostly just relieved that she may have been changed to a small furry rodent, but some things never did.

It would be a solid hour or so before Atton's tele-therapy appointment, and he was pretty sure his therapist was going to yell at him.

Actually, completely sure he was going to yell. And he'd probably deserve it, too.

Might as well prep by getting someone else to yell at him first, right? please tell me you're not a squirrel anymore.

It was a Monday. Odds were good.

I kind of fucked up right before you squirreled, Atton texted. I think? I think that's how the timing works out.

Probably not the details she wanted, Rand.

Both? Him? Her? Atton had avoided telling her about it until today, a day where he knew he couldn't get out of being yelled at over it anyway, so the can-still-text-her of it all was maybe more complicated than that.

Atton stared at his phone. When he finally did text her, it was, obnoxiously, in a long series of individual messages.

So I told my roommate I'm from space

and he didn't react

then he found out he was late to work

and ran away

so I also ran away

And now I have 58 unread messages on my phone


Yes, it had been more than a week.

[personal profile] suitably_heroic 2024-04-29 12:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Look, maybe someone had left his stupid phone in a drawer all week when he found out the only other person he texted regularly was a squirrel, okay? Okay?!

I know okay??? I panicked

I was leaning 'lost my phone'.

To hopefully no one's surprise.

Well, Atton was 50/50 on whether they were mostly his roommate telling him he was insane and he was moving out with a Greek chorus of Jill, or Jill yelling at him for worrying his roommate, and his roommate worrying at him, with possibly a slice of Trent being a weirdo about it.

He had no idea. He hadn't looked.

or I could just not
suitably_heroic: (dsp: ew.)

[personal profile] suitably_heroic 2024-04-29 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, but being a shifty coward was where Atton felt most comfortable. Interpersonally, anyway.

Atton sighed, well aware of above fact, and also that Summer was speaking facts, and he hated every minute of it. He wasn't sure whether the greatest mistake of his life was 'not allowing himself to start learning how to be a functioning human being around other people until his late thirties' or 'learning how to be a functioning human being around other people after a lifetime of not doing so, thus opening himself up to all kinds of problems'.

Kind of a long hair/short hair dilemma, there.

why does this getting it together thing have to be so complicated all the time

Dean had spent most of yesterday sleeping off his aches and pains from Saturday. He was still sluggish and wincing as he moved throughout the store as he gathered the items he needed. By the time he got to the register he had gathered, whiskey, strawberry pie, bread, butter, beer and much to the panda's disappointment: American cheese.

"Hey, you're not a squirrel any more," Dean said with a smirk and grabbed some roasted almonds and put it in front of Summer. "Here you go. On me in case you're still craving nuts."

"Bus. Big shadowy thing that was obsessed with names from meta for Gilligan's island. One or the other," Dean replied, not exactly shrugging because that still hurt. "Nothing that can't get better with rest, whiskey and pie. Looks like you missed all the fun last week with the exception of the radio knife fight with Leroy."
single_man_tear: (Hmm)

[personal profile] single_man_tear 2024-04-29 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, I can understand the attraction. Girls with swords? Awesome."

Girl with a hammer? Even better.

"But if the squirrel can't get a clue that nothing is going to happen, maybe you need a restraining order. Or I could just shoot him."

Dean was a little puzzled by the look until she started talking. "Oh. Well I hadn't realized those options hadn't been pursued already," Dean said apologetically. "Give the newbie a break here, I haven't learned everything about the island yet. Clearly this is not an ordinary squirrel."

Because they could write. Duh, Dean.

"Maybe I can find some lore on them. Probably a spell or a ritual somewhere that can take him out."

"Yeah, I'll take a look and let you know what I find," Dean said, amiably. "You would not believe the crazy stuff you can find in the lore I look at."

Ooo. Chili lime beef jerky near the counter. That got thrown into the pile too.
single_man_tear: (Happy. Scary but Happy)

[personal profile] single_man_tear 2024-04-29 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Pfft. Easy score," Dean said as he pulled out his wallet. "You will not believe the weird shit I can find."

Normally research was a somewhat boring task to Dean but now there was free beef jerky on the line.
