Janet had heard enough on radio over the last two weeks to be prepared for today's shift. Which was why...

The thing about working on Saturdays was that Janet would have less time to get ready for homecoming, but she was trying to make sure she had everything done so she could leave exactly on time (or a little early?) to get dressed up.

So far so good, but she was also eyeing the cheese panda like she was expecting it to start something.

Janet had successfully avoided having her parents show up again, by telling them that the event was next week. Which meant that next weekend, she could happily show them around Baltimore while also making sure they weren't like, unintentionally rude to aliens or that they didn't yank her out of school in her senior year when they caught sight of a gremlin.

And today she could just have a quiet day at work.

Don't mind Janet, spending part of her shift testing a hand vacuum to try and get the sugar glitter off of her. Was it working? Absolutely not. Was this the fault of the vacuum or the substance itself? Remained to be seen.

Janet ~~lived!~~ walked in today and wasn't fully prepared for the creepiness of twin raccoons who stared at her or straight up followed her whenever she moved. Therefore she was trying to stay behind the counter, finding busy work so she wouldn't have to think about it.

It wasn't working. At least it being the last day to sell turnips before they rotted meant that maybe other people would keep the raccoons busy?

So! This pollen thing sure still was going on, huh! Kitty would have appreciated knowing that was going to be a thing when she set that up! Though it might also bring in more super frustrated people towards the end of this week?

The flyer on the door advertised Three Minute Dates tonight ~~though it was easy enough to miss if you were distracted/wanted to be surprised~~ and there were plenty of available drinks, along with Tino at the bar, who was happy to sign you up for tonight. Maybe without you knowing about it.

At 8:00 on the dot, the zombie band, dressed in tuxedos and please don't ask how they got them on, began to play something that sounded suspiciously like Barry White. And after that intro, Kitty walked out to the microphone, where a banner reading "WELCOME TO THREE MINUTE DATES" unfurled behind her.

"Good evening, all, and welcome to the triumphant return of Three Minute Dates!" Kitty greeted them. "If you've never experienced this before, the rules are simple! Your names will be read off in pairs. You will sit at one of these lovely tables here. You will have five minutes to talk and get to know each other. Exchange numbers. What have you. After those five minutes, you'll hear a gong-" Or a bell, or a buzzer, who even knew anymore. "-and move on to the next partner. You'll have five rounds, and if there's someone you hit it off with, feel free to stick around and get a drink with them once the dates are over. Oh! And don't have sex in my bar."

That was important.

"And with that over with, let's-"

And with that, the gong went off too early- prematurely, you might say- and it was on to the event!

[Three minutes = ten comments total, five per person. Feel free to go a little over but don't get carried away. You have other dates to get to! A regular bar post will go up later, and you can absolutely finish things up on Sunday!

OCD ~~a-coming!~~ a-here! Go forth and date for exactly three minutes!

If I made a blatant mistake, like doubling people up or you dating yourself when you did not tell me you could date yourself, grab me via email or in the OOC thread and I will adjust!]

Janet had spent the holidays at home, which meant she'd come back right at the tail end of... all that. And she really didn't want to ask or listen to radio because she didn't actually want to know, except for how she sort of did, but mostly she really did not.

So it was back to work like normal, aside from the little display at the counter.

"Why are we running a special on goat jerky?"

Normally Janet wouldn't be into the idea of riding in anything pulled by an animal.

But the rickshaws were being pulled by reindeer and decked out with Christmas lights and so she took one to work even though she didn't need to because that was awesome.

She did make sure to put some water outside for any reindeer to drink, though, just in case they got thirsty.

Janet swore she'd placed the order correctly. She'd double checked everything. But what got delivered was egg nog.

Just... so much egg nog.

And Apu was acting like it was all her fault, which it was the hell not, she had receipts. But they also told her to keep the egg nog while they were fixing the order. Soooo.

Janet, thank god, was normal this weekend. However, she thought everyone else being little was super cute, so she was prepared at the store. Things like candy were on prominent display, for instance, with a colorful sign saying it needed to be eaten outside.

(Because she wasn't babysitting or cleaning up anything sticky.)

This year, the folks at the Student Council had decided on a Homecoming theme of cyberpunk fairytales - with all the creepy stuff going on, a positive, brighter spin on the genre would surely be appreciated, right? Neon-painted billboards of castles and princesses covered the walls, next to glitter-covered robots (because there always needed to be glitter) wearing bright translucent dresses and leather jackets.

The creepy paintings didn't really take away from the effect, especially since they'd been covered in glitter too. Take that, island!

The weirdness had passed Janet by this time, and honestly, she was a little bummed about it. Not that she wanted to deal with new parts or anything, but she was missing out on a chance to do things and see how it compared to doing them as a girl.

Not that she knew what she'd do. All she could think of was going car shopping without sexism.

She didn't need a car.

Anyway, she was hard at work today. With all her normal parts.

Janet had managed to book a flight home last weekend before her parents could even find out Parents Weekend was a thing, so she'd missed last week at work, along with so many arguments.

She might have forgotten to warn Apu about that, though, so now he seemed to always be watching her as she worked, silently judging.

Personally Janet wasn't sure how that was different than any other week.

Janet didn't know what had gone on with the signage over the last week, but uh. She felt the need to make up a new one.

"Okay," Duke said, looking over the menu over the counter. "That all looks . . . normal. You're not even using cutesy names for your sizes -- which, by the way, I appreciate. Kind of a lot of pumpkin on there, but I guess it's basically the season for it." He finally shook his head and looked at the barista. "So this is actually just a perfectly normal coffee shop."

The barista examined her nails, looking bored. (Also incredibly normal.) "So are you going to order something, or. . . ?"

"Yes," Duke said, knocking on the counter. "Let's do a large coffee with -- do you have Bailey's?"

"It's, like, ten AM."

"It is." Duke pointed at her and clicked his tongue, then resumed tapping on the counter. "Just black, then." He glanced at the bakery case. "And some of that apple pumpkin bread."

The barista handed him his order, money exchanged hands, and Duke went to go find a seat by the window.

Still 100% perfectly, totally normal. He could be in any coffee shop anywhere in the world, here, give or take a few standard cultural differences. He sipped his coffee and made a little satisfied noise. Make that any good coffee shop in the world, that was a nice brew. He leaned back in his seat, cradling his mug to his chest.

He didn't trust a damn bit of it. Something, at any moment, was about to try to break his brain again.

He would be ready.

Right. So as far as Janet was concerned, last week never happened.

She was just at work, like usual (for the second week), and had even brought Apu coffee this morning as a sort of peace offering. He'd taken it, and then he'd set it down and it had stayed in the same place all shift.

Fine. Now Janet had a mission.

It was Janet's first day of work that she was not telling her parents about, and she was pretty excited about it. She knew the basics, she barely needed Apu's help, it was mostly a matter of figuring out the specifics of this store, and she was more than happy to do that.

The problem came in the form of the Squishy machine, which Janet actually didn't know how to use. And when she'd asked Apu, he'd maybe insinuated that she could maybe figure it out herself.

Which she could. It was fine.

...It would be fine later, after she got a mop.

Well. Summer and Shunsui had had their sake and steamed buns (and far too many S's), and now she was coming into the store with her laptop and a big fat check to get some paper moving and seal the deal. And she wasn't sure how she felt about it, either. Sure, she knew she was eventually going to try to sell the store or at least pass most of the responsibilities onto someone else and actually leave this planet, this galaxy, this universe completely, and she knew it was going to happen soon, but she maybe wasn't expecting it so soon? But it was the end of summer, her ship was almost ready to go, all she had left was to find a location for her new shop, and now she even had the money (and it was a lot of money, almost staggering, where the hell did Shunsui get that kind of money, anyway? Did she even want to know?) for it. Everything was just falling perfectly into place.

And she kind of hated it, because everything falling perfectly into place meant that everything was going to be set in motion soon and she was not ready.

But she also knew she never truly would be ready. So all she could do was really buckle down, shut up, and get to work, because delaying the inevitable only just made things harder.

It didn't help that Apu was going to be sending the whole day giving her long-suffering sighs and glares, too.

"Don't give me that look," she said. "You knew this was going to happen eventually, and, hey, it's not like you don't know what you're getting into, you've worked with him before, right? And the store stayed in one piece under his watch last time, didn't it? He can't be that bad, and, even if he is, you've still got Amaya around, too, right? You know she'll help out if she can..."

He looked wholly unconvinced, but Summer just shrugged. "It is what it is, man. I don't see you stepping up with a big fat check right now, you know, but I'd be willing to take an offer if you got one."

He did not.

"Didn't think so."
