"We mutiny!" Rikku announced, pumping her fist into the air. "Against ... um. Against anything we don't like! And for the things we do like!"

Okay, so Room 12 of the Arms Hotel -- Rikku, Gwen Cooper, Yzma, and one of the two Buffy Summerses -- had had rather a lot of liquor last night (not that it took much liquor to get Rikku tipsy, but that was hardly the point) and with all of those sane, rational people in one room, with the bonus of liquor spurring them along, the brilliant idea had been birthed: that they should absolutely have some kind of a Naked Mutiny. Against ... erm ... something. Maybe clothing?! The details had been fuzzy.

Not that everyone was naked! Rikku herself was rocking several beaded necklaces on top, and a tool belt on the bottom. But, you know, not everyone could be as brave as Yzma, who was truly a sight to behold. A lot.

This was going to end very poorly for all involved. That was sort of a given, right?

(Fellow roomies were modded with permission. Anyone is welcome to pop in and join the chaos, which is headed to ... maybe a warehouse, for graffiti-related purposes? They have not exactly thought this through, so who knows where they'll actually end up. Major SP in effect for time zone insanity! Please wait for minor OCD!)

It was the last day of the reunion and Jessica figured she needed to take a moment alone. Get some solitude, a place to be with her thoughts for a little bit, in a quiet place. The beach would work. Have some white noise from the water, what could possibly be more relaxing.

When she got there, food was already on the grill, the volleyball net was set up, and a pig was sitting next to a spit, eating from a trough. There had to be a story there. And wait, who started grilling food on a beach only to leave it, and a pig? If this was Fandom magic, it was really weird Fandom magic.

Anyway, alone-time apparently wasn't happening. She could settle for some BBQ as long as she avoided anything that might have come from that pig's family.

The Impromptu Labor Day Beach Cookout was on!

After seeing so many of the Meerkats at the dance yesterday, Buffy thought it was time for a proper reunion. So she had handwavily texted everyone, and was hoping the ones on the island would be able to make it.

This being Fandom she had now spent the last ten minutes clearing an area around a nice pink tree so it was free of zombie gremlins. It looked like a good place to hold the reunion. The tree seemed friendly, insofar trees could seem friendly. She'd brought blankets to sit on, and had placed them down on the ground, close to the tree. Buffy gave the tree a little pat. "There!" she said. "I hope they all show up. And won't get bitten by gremlins on the way..."

She thought the zombie gremlins were starting to get the point though. They seemed much less interested in her now. She'd brought enough stakes for everybody anyway, so that should be fine.



[OOC: Mainly for the Meerkats, but I suppose if any Stickbugs are around and want to crash the reunion for old times sake...]

The strange spell lifted as the sun came down, and left dozens of gremlins looking confused and bewildered all over the island. They skittered home quickly to tell tales of their terrible, no-good-day. Soon, a decision was made, and lo and behold, just an hour after sundown, signs started to appear everywhere reading SORY and WE MAKE IT UP TO U, pointing helpfully towards a clearing in the wooded area.

You wouldn't be able to miss it. For one, there was loud singing and drums that were audible from quite far away, and for two, there were very large torches sticking out everywhere, casting a glow across the woods.

There were many gremlins strewn across the clearing, and they all looked Very Apologetic. And if the gremlins themselves didn't look apologetic enough, well, there were also tables with enormous amounts of food. That was how Fandom worked, yes?

[[ wait for the ocd up! gremlins party hard! ]]

So, Sparkle's week had been kind of... eh. And then kind of oh. And then there'd been glitter last night and that whole thing had been pretty yesssss.

This morning, as a result, he was actually in a pretty okay mood, right up until a pack of gremlins rounded the corner, arms outstretched, making little moaning sounds at him.

Sparkle was not always stupid. Gremlins and zombies were two things on his 'no touchy' list, so he'd ducked into the Demon Marcus, kind of surprised to realize that he still had his old key for the place, and set up camp perched up on top of the counter, ankles well away from the floor, armed with a hat rack. Any time a gremlin came near, he gave it a mighty swing and thumped the ugly little shit straight into next week.

... It was kind of stupid just how much this felt like a regular shift at his old place of employment. And then he started wondering if maybe there was something to that.

[OOC: Open and OCD-free! Sparkle's going to be taking over running this place from here on in, and I couldn't resist laying the seeds for that now. THIS WEEKEND IS AMAZING.]

Originally, this was going to be a much smaller event, but then Fandom had to be Fandom and Portalocity had to be Portalocity, and now Zoe was wondering if there would be enough food for everyone or if she'd have to get things from the local restaurants.

For the moment though, everything was set up nicely. There were tables and chairs set up with blue and gold tablecloths, each covered with glitter from years of use. There were balloons, streamers, and other slightly tasteful decorations, also covered in glitter from years of being stored with things that were also covered in glitter. Don't worry, no one had died from a glitter overdose yet.

Once the food was set out and the (non-tainted) punch was ready, it seemed like things were as good to go as they'd ever be. If things got too crowded, hopefully a fire marshal wasn't among the folks who had come back to town.

Buffy had showed up at the dance, but then decided to skip out early and hang out in the cemetery like the olden days. She doubted there'd be anything worth staking tonight- hopefully- but given how event weekends had gone in her day, better safe than sorry.

So there she was, sitting on top of a gravestone, waiting for something to happen.

[I missed patrol posts! Open!]

Like so many weekends before it, the calm of a September Saturday morning was interrupted by the unscheduled opening of a portal in the park. This one sprang to life in a blaze of blue and gold and a burst of glitter before settling into something more stable.

The first to flood out were a score of squirrels, followed by some alots, a few teal deer, and some gremlins who had left Fandom to seek their fortune through biting. Then humans, humanoids, and those we never asked about too closely came through the portal.

Welcome back to Fandom, alums! Even if you hadn't planned on being here this weekend!

[OOC: Feel free to establish your folks coming through if they aren't taking alternative methods to arrive! HAPPY TENTH ANNIVERSARY, FANDOM! Come hang out in the IM chatroom gogremlins if you have time to kill and want to catch up/squee/find out what people have done IRL over ten years...]

Mary never should have agreed to run a promotional deal with Portalocity. When they sent over their first list of reservations for the weekend, it was no big deal. When a second list arrived 20 minutes later with more reservations, Mary found more rooms, although it took a little bit of effort. When the third list of reservations arrived, Mary called over two of her maids to ask if there were any additional rooms available. Unfortunately, there weren't many, due to gremlin damage. When Portalocity faxed over a fourth list of additional reservations, Mary started frantically trying to call the Portalocity representatives to tell them that the hotel had no rooms left. But there was no answer, and then another fax arrived from the Portalocity offices with even more reservations.

Somehow, Mary managed to find beds for everyone, even if it meant a roll-away cot in a shared room. But she had a feeling it was going to be a rough weekend. "Free breakfast for everyone this weekend," she told Gunther. "Maybe we should throw in free lunch and dinner as well if they want it. We're going to have some unhappy guests complaining about the arrangements all weekend and we might as well give them something. Oh, and can you grab all the extra spoons you can find? Someone requested them."

Welcome to the Arms Hotel

Buffy was spending her shift browsing the internet on her laptop. She was searching for local suspicious-possibly-supernatural news stories to see if she could possibly get some slaying done this weekend. Maybe she'd just find a random graveyard on the mainland to hang around in.

Her weekend plans were weird.

[OCD-free!]
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy had gotten herself immersed in bad CW shows about superheroes. It happened completely by accident (she was critiquing the fight scenes) and now she was reading about tumblr ship wars on her phone. But at least she hadn't personally gotten involved. Yet.

It was a miracle she got paid to do these things.

[Open no OCD]
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy was sitting at the bar with several fans pointed in her direction. She was also chewing ice cubes. Which was doing wonders to get rid of frustration in addition to cooling her off.

Ugh she should have just gone away for the week.

[OCD-free]
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy was preparing for Parents Weekend by...doing absolutely nothing. She figured being a sanctuary from the under 21 crowd was enough of a service to the adults this weekend.

[OCD-free and holy crap I finally remembered]

On Saturday morning, the smell of cotton candy permeated the island once again as the booths at Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show began to turn on and light up. There were more attractions to see today than there had been yesterday, and wasn't that just wonderful?

There was plenty of room for even more shows, if today's visitors weren't careful.

Once everything was ready, the tall man with the dark mustache stepped through the main arch again to survey the grounds and, seemingly finding everything satisfactory, he disappeared back into the small tent away from the grounds.

The carnival was open, offering more merriment and delight... and likely some terror as well.
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy was putting her skills to use today by cleaning some of the more unreachable places of the bar tonight. She had little to no cleaning skills but she did have the balance and agility to attempt some of the more hard to reach spots. Look at her, earning her paycheck.

[OCD-free]
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy did not understand nor did she care about soccer, but she did appreciate the World Cup when it came around. All those sweaty guys tackling each other. That was an event she could get behind.

So she would be spending her shift looking up the various sweaty guys on her phone. It'd help her pick which team to root for.

[OCD-free]

Best part about being a bartender in the summer was definitely having an excuse to order a bunch of fresh fruit. Sure, they were for tropical fruity drinks. If anybody happened to order one. Until then, it was snack time for Buffy.

[OCD-free]
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy was sitting at the bar, reading news articles on her phone and eating maraschino cherries. Occasionally she'd drop one down her shirt and have to go fishing for it, which was annoying but the price you paid for cherry deliciousness.

[OCD-free!]

Buffy was doing a bit of late spring cleaning at the bar. Some of the cheaper liquor nobody used had gathered quite a bit of dust. It was really gross, actually.

[OCD-free 'cause I'm at work]
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy was around...somewhere. She had been taking inventory and it turned out to be waaaaaaay more extensive than she initially thought. Why were there so many different types of vodka?

[OCD-free!]

Buffy had joined one of those online book thingys where you'd vow to read so many books in a year. Maybe one hundred was too ambitious. Fifty seemed pretty steep too...

You know what? If she finished this book she'd consider it a win.
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy had been through enough that she was fairly alarmed about the weirdness going on, but wasn't to the point where she was dedicating every last second of her life to finding a solution. It didn't seem like an apocalypse. Another one. So she still showed up for work.

She was, however, texting Willow about everything as she sat at the bar.

[Expect super slow SP from me at times because ahahahaha I'm insane and agreed to go to work tonight on my day off]
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy was actually attempting to drink beer tonight. It may have been the lightest of light beer but she was attempting! Just ignore the face she made whenever she took a sip of it.

[OCD-free! So sleepy]
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy had leftover chocolate and a warm (ish) sunny weekend ahead of her. That was enough to put her in a good mood. Didn't necessarily mean you'd be getting great service though. Good moods didn't make miracles happen.
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy didn't really have any plans for Valentine's Day so she would be marathoning every romantic comedy known to mankind tomorrow night. So that meant tonight she was browsing through the wine choices the bar had and figuring out what would go best with The Wedding Planner.

[OCD-free!]
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy would be sitting at the bar cursing under her breath all night. She had discovered Flappybird. So her life was now over.
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy may have been spending her shift catching up on the potential Oscar nom movies on her laptop. Though less than legal means. Listen, she had saved the world several times she was allowed to stream some movies illegally, okay? She'd be able to tear her eyes away long enough to do her job. Maybe.
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy had leftover Christmas cookies on hand and was spending her shift eating those rather than, you know, doing something productive. Like work. Look she never claimed to be the best employee.
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy had been aware enough of the events going on this week to know that she shouldn't wear clothes she had any particular attachment to when walking to work today. Sure enough, by the time she made it in she her shirt was torn, her jeans were dirty and there was splatter of what could have been blood drying on her coat. At least her hair still looked okay.

Now she was sitting at the bar, drawing a crude map of the island on a cocktail napkin. She had some patrolling to do later.
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy didn't know what possessed the DJ to play 50's hits tonight but she couldn't really complain. Sock hop music was cute. You know, in a hokey way.

[OCD-free!]
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy had some bad Halloweens in her day, but she wasn't about to let it stop her from getting into the spirit at work. She finally had a job where she could whatever she wanted for the holiday and she was taking advantage. She was allowed to dress skanky sometimes, shut up.

There was cider available and scary music playing. Happy Halloween!
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy was carving pumpkins at work. Sure, it was messy and it'd take forever to get somebody a drink because she'd have to get the pumpkin goo off her hands first but...shut up. She wanted to carve pumpkins, dammit.
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
It was cold and wet and generally gross outside, which meant Buffy was taking it as an opportunity to see how many pumpkin spice lattes she could drink during a shift. She kept having Tiny go back to the coffee shop for refills. It's not like he was doing anything important and Buffy was more than capable of handling bouncer duties herself.
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Man, when did it become almost October? Buffy was bored enough to start looking for Halloween costumes on her phone, putting some thought into whether or not she'd enjoy turning into said costume just in case history repeated itself.

Would it really be that bad to be a sexy nurse for an evening? Maybe she'd learn some first aid skills.
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy was spending her shift browsing through the latest issue of Cosmo that she picked up earlier that day. Some of the sex tips were hilarious while others seemed dangerous. Who the hell thought of this stuff?

[OCD-free!]
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
"Who keeps doing this?" Buffy asked, hands on her hips. The bar was once again in complete disarray. "Is there a misguided booze gnome around here or something?"

Somebody was going to get their ass kicked.
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy was displeased. Displeased because after all she did to organize the bar last week somebody had switched everything around. There was no logic in it whatsoever, who the hell put tequila next to gin?

She was fixing this even if it took her all night, goddammit.

[I'm going to Rifftrax live in about a half hour so you're gonna want to mod your drinks unless you want to deal with my SP. Which is fine by me tbh my life is SP]
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy didn't have much in the way of work today but she was making herself useful by organizing the booze by type and then alphabetizing them. Just look at how useful she was. She totally earned her paycheck.
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy didn't know what was up with all the Bryan Adams tonight, but she guessed the music choice could be worse. Could be John Tesh or something. She didn't know what kind of music John Tesh actually played but she did know it was universally hated. So. There was that.
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy didn't have much in the way of work today, so she busied herself reading one of those gossip rags that was an impulse buy at the grocery store. She also impulse bought some Reese's and a Snickers bar as well. It should be illegal to put that crap by the checkout line.

She didn't even notice the DJ was playing Swedish pop music all night.

[Up early so I don't friggen forget for once. I'll be on SP for awhile but should be more consistent as the evening goes on!]
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
There were sparklers to put in the drinks this evening for some reason. It certainly wasn't Buffy's idea because drunks and fire didn't seem to mix well to her. But, whatever, it was a holiday. How much damage could someone possibly do with a sparkler?

She probably just jinxed herself.

Oh, and enjoy about a hundred different variations of the national anthem tonight 'cause that's what the DJ was playing.

[I'm working today and idk how quick I'll be with pings so mod your drinks for speedy service]
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy was spending her shift on her new phone, trying to figure out how the friggen thing worked. Being from the past meant she had a lot of technology to catch up on. She was about five minutes away from downloading Candy Crush, god help her.
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
The DJ must've had allergies or a cold or something because he seemed to be too busy sneezing and using up tissues to really torture everyone with stupid music tonight. So...normal stuff was playing. Weird.

Buffy wasn't about to complain though. She was sure he'd make up for it next week with bagpipe covers of rock songs or something.
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Oooh tonight the DJ was playing a nice mix of those sappy 90's love songs that would always play on WB shows back in the day. Buffy approved, naturally. Could one really get sick of "Linger"? No, no they could not.

She didn't hate the DJ as much as other people did, but her tastes were always questionable.
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Tonight the DJ was playing famous bits of movie scores for some odd reason. Buffy wasn't really sure how people could dance to this, but she was having fun guessing which movies the themes went to. She may have requested the Titanic score be played several times. She loved that movie, don't judge.

Meanwhile, Buffy was behind the bar trying to convince herself that she liked gin and tonics. It wasn't going well.
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy was behind the bar as per usual, dutifully reading what looked to be a bartender's bible. This wasn't going to make her a better bartender, but at least she was trying. That had to count for something, right? Right?
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
The DJ was actually playing normal music tonight which left Buffy...well, sort of suspicious. She wasn't going to outright interrogate the DJ but she was giving him some side eye from the bar throughout the evening. Don't try any funny business, mister.
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy was having fun with the blender tonight, experimenting with smoothie recipes. Nothing with alcohol in it though. Because she was no fun, apparently.

At least the blender noises drowned out the fact the DJ was playing Haddaway's "What Is Love" on repeat.

[OCD-free!]
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
Buffy had luckily avoided the last batch of Fandom weirdness though she had heard about it on the radio. She sympathized, but was so happy she avoided it this time. She had way too many experiences with similar stuff.

The DJ was playing 80's hits so Buffy didn't have much to complain about tonight.
[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com
A quiet week meant that Buffy had to make her own fun at work today. This apparently meant trying to make a tiny castle out of shot glasses while trying to ignore the fact the DJ was spending the evening playing theme songs from 70's and 80's shows.
