Luma had absolutely ruined her finger nail polish by attempting to make crochet easier by using her claws in class earlier, but obviously that was fine, because she could just redo them again here at work. It worked out even better, actually, because now she could pick out something to better match what she was planning on wearing to that party this weekend.

She wasn't sure she even knew the people holding it. One of them might have been in one of her classes? She'd figure it out later. First, she needed to figure out if she wanted to do solid colors, something matte or shiny, something glittery, or maybe some nice French ti--

--no. On second thought, absolutely no French anything, if she could help it.

Why did the library smell faintly of peanut butter today? Belle didn't know. Belle wasn't going to spend too much time investigating, either. She did a quick pass through the space looking for any signs of odd gremlin activity or abandoned indoor picnics or any other obvious reason why the smell of peanut butter lingered in the air.

There was no clear cause. That had Belle feeling a bit concerned but not overly so. A smell of peanut butter was a pleasant one at least and there was a package of peanut butter cups waiting for her on the desk. It was well sealed so not the source of the mysterious scent but it was certainly appreciated.

“Last week was TV and snacks,” Stark said. “Easy. Just something to sit back and enjoy without having to do anything at all besides maybe press a button. Or open snacks. So today we’ll do something that requires a little more effort. Or at least a little more engagement? I don’t know. A less passive hobby for today than the one last week, anyway.”

Was he babbling a little today? Maybe. Just a bit. These things happened, sometimes. Especially if you were Stark.

“So. Creating something. So there’s something to show for your time and something to keep your hands busy. But you don’t have to make it all up. Just follow the instructions. And if it doesn’t work you just take it apart and start again. So. This is…”

Stark paused and gestured to the bag in front of him and then started pulling things out of it. Hooks. Yarn. Instruction books. Kits for beginners that included everything.

“Crochet. Something new for us to try. Unless you’ve tried it before and then it isn’t new for you but it’s still new for me. So…Come get your supplies. And there is a video we can watch that might explain things and then there are plenty of instructions and different sorts of things to try. Hats are popular. Blankets, but that involves a lot more time than we have. Tiny scarves. Maybe a blanket for the squirrels when they’ve passed out? Or little characters and creatures. Lots of things to try but at first we’ll just try to put a few stitches together. And if you can’t…that’s fine. No risk. Just something to do. To keep us occupied.”

Well, it's a thinner stack of notes this week, I'd say that's a good sing, but I've been here too long.

In School news, Jaina was in charge of non-Anakin Shenanigans, inflicting another round of Hungry Hungry Hippos on the voluntolds, though apparently this time it involved less costumes and more free for alls.

No Dorm news, yet again, while over in Town, Needful Things was closed on account of everything getting bonfired. That's why you burn the other person's things, everyone.

Elsewhere, Jaina and Jag were enduring parenthood when Jaina turned into a kitty. Octavia was behind the bar at the Devil's Nest. While at Caritas, Summer was inflicting her very worst jello upon people as a farewell. I thankfully don't have any details in my notes beyond 'Teeth, why'. Those who were unlucky enough to witness all the gory details were Atton, Rey, Stark, and Raiden.

Liz had not been sleep all that well the last couple of nights so she was still feeling rather tired when she came downstairs that morning, she had considered staying upstairs to work but she thought she would try and work for a couple of hours to see what she could done.

There were a few emails that she had to answer and then she was focused on doing some work on her spreadsheets, to keep her busy for the morning.

Llewellyn had been sleeping poorly, which meant Steven had been sleeping poorly along with him. Rather literally.

Steven didn't mind, of course. He minded Llewellyn was having troubles, but not that Steven was losing sleep to keep him company with them. Working on a sleepless night was practically one of Steven's specialties after all.

Fortunately there wasn't anything requiring too much concentration at the Museum today. Steven kept cups of tea handy as he got through his regular work. He could go without sleep, but caffeine helped.

There was a crate of mangoes sitting on the bar when Thor walked into the Devil's Nest tonight, and he shrugged and went with it, looking up mango-based drink recipes for the specials board.

Tiny was also trying to go with it, but mangoes were unfortunately not a shape that worked well for construction, especially when Thor wouldn't let him use cocktail picks to secure them. They kept falling off the counter and rolling off places, leaving Tiny to chase after them. It was good exercise.

"I can't even tell what he's trying to build," Thor confided to Don after Tiny had been at it for a while with little to no progress.

"Today we're going to ~~continue causing physical pain to the New Yorker in our midst~~ continue our exploration of the regional pizzas of the United States, because there really are so many great options to choose from. Except Rhode Island. I'm not sure what went wrong in Rhode Island." The less said about Rhode Island-style pizza, the better. "Detroit-style pizza has been having kind of a moment over the last few years, so I thought we should include it in our study.

"Now, it's Detroit, Motor City, so of course their pizza has ties to the auto industry: the reason their pizzas are rectangular, instead of the classic round shape, is that they were originally baked in trays meant to be used as automotive drip pans, or to hold small parts in the car factories. Pretty neat, huh? I'm sure they cleaned them first. It has a thick, crispy, chewy crust, and the cheese goes from edge to edge with no exposed crust, which results in a beautiful layer of frico where the cheese touches the pan. These are the two real hallmarks of a Detroit-style pizza, but there are two more twists that are sometimes in play: Wisconsin brick cheese is sometimes used instead of mozzarella, and sometimes the pepperoni is placed directly on the crust, instead of on top of the sauce and cheese. In fact, some pizzas are completely reversed, with the sauce going on top of the cheese in what's known as a 'red top.' Why? Why not?

"Detroit-style pizza was invented in 1946 at Buddy's Rendezvous in Detroit, later renamed to Buddy's Pizza, and they're still slinging pies today! In fact, they've expanded into a whole chain, but we're going to the original location at the corner of Eight Mile Road and Conant Street. So let's head through our portal and go get some pizza!"

Good morning, it’s Wednesday, I’m me-shaped and so I’ll read the news the squirrels have written down from yesterday. Starting with the school as always.

(Even More) American National Park Tours with Sam Eagle ventured to a place called the Dry Tortugas which is actually almost entirely water. All right. Beach! watched a movie about sharks in a wave pool. And Paintball! had balloons full of paint instead of guns full of paint and Thor won.

Nothing in the dorms, sorry Porg, so we’ll go right into how Thor celebrated his victory with a bear claw and coffee at the Perk while I chose to soothe my sorrows with a very sugary coffee and we chatted a bit.

Earlier in the day, Marc was in his office at the boarding house. Remy brought him beer from home. Remy’s home, not Marc’s. And they talked about Harley and Marc says everything that happened was due to him and nothing to do with her. Marc. It doesn’t matter how many times you say that or think it the other person will be wondering what they did wrong. I’m sorry Harley.

Remy also went to work at Needful Things though I’m still unsure if he actually works there or not. The shop was still mostly empty after the bonfire.

Nell was at her shop working on flowers for the party for Watts and Steven. I’m sure they will be lovely.

And at Pick Your Poison Pam was working on something and Watts stopped in and had tea and a conversation about Marc and Harley.

That seems to be everything from yesterday, I think. Anakin is a cat, again, I think, so the park may be safe this morning. May be. I imagine I’ll be here again next week.

Any rain in the forecast seemed to be holding off while the events in the park were happening, which was lucky! The last thing anyone wanted was to do this in the rain. Not because it would make the event harder but because people might not come out and watch.

It was Jaina starting things off again, bullhorn in hand not because she needed it but because she liked it.

She was standing in the middle of a large tape circle, where several differently colored bins were situated in evenly spaced spots at the edge. Above Jaina was a good number of soccer balls, hanging in the air, levitated by the Force. It wasn't her showing off but there was really no easy way to hang things from air, you know?

"No teams today, guys!" she announced through the bullhorn. "It's going to be simple: the balls will drop, and you have to collect as many as you can and put them in your bin until there are no balls left. You can't use powers and you can't take anything from someone else's bin. if a ball goes out of bounds, it's not in play anymore. It's every person for themselves for three rounds."

And she read out this week's names.

Remy's "CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS" sign was still in the window of Needful Things. And the inside of the store remained barren, shelves empty and the checkout counter standing useless in the middle of it.

And Harley was sitting on the floor, eating a cake she'd ordered in. So, whatever stage of the breakup that was, she was pretty firmly at it, one sugar overloaded scoop of a spoon at a time. The high of the bonfire had carried her for a few days, but when she'd crashed, she'd done so hard.

And now that that had evened out, at least a little... Yeah, cake it was. While she looked around her store, and heaved a big sigh that was far from her first of the day.

"Jeez, how'm I gonna fill ya back up with junk, huh?"

And did she even really want to?

She drowned that thought out by shoveling yet more cake in her mouth.

Now that Summer had an actual property for her new storefront on Ravnica (with everything pretty much set up from the last business to carry over extremely well into her business), she was itching to get back there and get started with making this latest dream a reality, but, with the timing, she was definitely thinking she could get in one last shift in at Caritas before her attention shifted entirely to other enterprises.

Well. It was all still jello, but...you know what she meant.

But you better believe that if this was her last shift for a while, that she was going to go out with an absolutely disgusting bang.

Octavia hadn't been at work in... three months? Guess time flew when you were busy being stuck in a whole different universe.

She was also just a little bit late to this particular shift. Guess time also flew when you were busy trying to coerce a city into making better, more substantial plans for a better, more livable future. She'd left the demonstration late, grabbed a quick shower at Lucifer's place, and then hopped a portal to Fandom. And now she was there, at the club, standing behind the bar.

Feeling weird.

Everything felt and seemed the same (hi, Tiny, for one) but she didn't feel the same. Not after - or during? - everything in Los Angeles.

But at least she still knew how to bartend, probably. As much as she ever had, anyway.

Nell had spent a good chunk of yesterday (and would be spending another good amount of time today) getting flowers ready for Steven and the Detective's birthday and wedding celebration. Lots of sunflowers and red roses with the occasional sprig of honeysuckle for devoted and everlasting love thrown in.

They were going to be relatively simple, but beautiful.

“Today,” Sam announced, “we shall be going to Florida, to the Keys! Which are not actual keys but are islands. Nothing will be locked or unlocked today!”

Ok Sam whatever.

“We shall be going to the Dry Tortugas National Park! Which are islands and therefore not terribly dry because they are surrounded by water. Over 90% of the park is water!”

Thank you for that valuable lesson, Mr. Eagle.

“Now, let us go! Hurry up, students!”

Remy made his way to the shop . . . eventually. Where he found the place all but cleared out. There was, in fact, little left in the place other than a collection of cat food behind the sales desk.

Remy was reasonably certain that wasn't for Bruce.

He found a handy scrap of cardboard and a marker and hastily scrawled a "CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS" sign on it, which he hung in the window. Then he sat back and tried to imagine what Harley would choose to fill this place with.

"Still not big enough for Fifi," he mused aloud. "Pity."

Well. There sure was something going on with Harley. Her Harley, that beautiful cloud of chaos that kept slipping through the cracks of her life every time she thought she'd caught it--

But while Pam waited for that to shake out however it was going to shake out, she was... here, when she wasn't in Slaughter Swamp.

Still trying to make enough antidotes to protect a whole city. Still having to do this - go downstairs, pour herself a large glass of water, sit down on the sofa - every few hours to make up for the resulting blood loss.

"This was definitely easier when I still had nigh-omnipotent power over nature," she muttered, patting one of her bigger swamp milkweeds.

Class was back in the danger shop, with a movie projector set up again, however, this time, the screen was set up in front of a wavepool, and instead of beach chairs, there were floaties bobbing in the water.

"It's time for a fun beach movie!" Aphra declared.

Thor was in a celebratory mood for no particular reason that involved pelting Tony Stark with paint balloons, and thus felt like treating himself to a latte and a pastry. Perhaps two pastries. He was a big god, after all.

"Do you want anything while we are here?" he asked the inside of his cup before taking a sip.

Let me get back to you on that, Don said, and his spirit wandered over to inspect the pastry case. Thor wondered if he would feel it if he tried to go any further, and then he shrugged off such weighty metaphysical matters and dedicated his attention to his almond croissant.
