Well, the gremlin from class was just sitting in the bar, writing the play. Or pretending to write the play while drinking heavily. And, you know what? Jane wasn't going to question it at all.

She was just going to stay on this side of the bar and help restock things. It seemed the safest option.

Monday had been a success, and so why not try it again? So Kitty had done up a few new posters- looks like she was saving that template- and putting them up around town.

MOVIES IN THE PARK

SPACE BATTLES
Monday evening, July 21
Bring blankets, chairs, picnic it up! All are welcome!

[I had some questions about it so maybe we keep it going through August? Establishy unless you want to catch her.]

"No, we're not 'in competition with' the Mexican restaurant. A, they're not even open for breakfast, and B, they don't even serve waffles. There's no competition. Don't pit two bad bitches against each other, jeez." Raiden couldn't believe they were even having this conversation.

Specials
Chilaquiles Frittata Bake
Huevos Rancheros
Churro Waffles

Raiden texted Gray a picture of the churro waffles and waited for him to appear.

Over Easy is open!

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the Saturday news with me, Miss Lydia Bennet. I'm sure the squirrels managed to notice at least three things through their inebriated haze, so let's begin, shall we?

At the school Drama in the Park-a-Rama practiced stunt driving for the gremlin director's newly revised vision involving underground street racing. As one does. The students in First Aid 2: First Aider received first aid kits, courtesy of Mr. Stark, and Dr. Blake went over the contents with them. I've no notes for the dormitory, the porg is sad, yes, yes, we're all familiar, moving along to the town, where Miss Eleanor was dealing with gremlins at Plant Parenthood, whilst Captain Flint dealt with a salesperson at the Ink Spot. Miss Skywalker was practicing the use of her powers at her warehouse, where she was joined by Dean Skywalker and a fake infant, which he apparently shares with Mr. Kestis, although Mr. Kestis has of course shirked his fake caregiving responsibilities. Well, those are all the notes I have, so I shall leave you until next week with a fond farewell, dear listeners.

After spending most of her life having to handle everything so physically, Rey didn't use the Force for a lot of minor things. Sure, sometimes you didn't want to flip a light switch or whatever, and picking up on things like Force senses was more like something she had to switch off, but the only time she defaulted to using things like telepathy was when it was instinctive.

She'd given herself a little mission, and she was trying to use it for as much as possible for about a week. It wasn't about being lazy, but she figured there were ways to use it that she'd never thought of before. At worst it was an exercise in fine control.

So today she wasn't doing anything by hand that she didn't have to. Opening the door, setting up remotes, cleaning up the confetti that she was still finding in places from last week, she wasn't doing anything of that herself/i>. It was harder to remember to do it than to actually do any of it.

[Open!]

Flint had been startled from reading Sun Tsu's Art of War by the phone ringing. (He didn't know the phone even worked.)

The incredibly perky voice on the other end of the line didn't lessen his confusion in any way. "...back to school inventory," he repeated, sounding baffled. "We're a bookshop."

And that was how there would be a hundred adorable new notebooks delivered next week. Flint had said "uh huh" one too many times in an effort to get the person off of the phone.

For now, though, Flint was living in blissful oblivion as he plotted (as always) the downfall of the British Empire.

The door to the shop was open because Flint hadn't figured out air conditioning.

Good morning, everyone! It's Steve Rogers with the news of yesterday.

In classes, Summer introduced Stark's hobby class to the wonderful world of mid-century American cuisine, Pizza class ate casserole in Chicago--

*chittering*

Yes, you can expect this commentary for the rest of the summer. I was raised on Brooklyn pizza. I have opinions. Liliana stopped being a cat in time to teach her class, and I'm very impressed by her dedication.

In town, Liz was unpacking new stock at the Photo Hut, Pam was taking care of the hollyhock that's usually Adrien at Pick Your Poison, and Thor continued the race car movie theme at The Devil's Nest. Steven checked the exhibits at the museum to be sure that there weren't any people-turned-animals lost in there before Watts arrived with lunch and a discussion about what animals they were turn into. Harley also stopped in and learned about Steven and Watts' communication strategies. Lydia took Rey shopping during Luma's shift at Pixie Dust. After shopping, Rey and Lydia went to a crab shack with Flint for Supper Club and beat on crabs with a mallet for dinner. Sounds delicious!

On that slightly hungry note, I'm out of news! Maybe Tony and I'll go for crabs this weekend, too. Have a great day.

When the students arrived today, they would find a black backpack waiting at their seat. "Okay, everyone," Don greeted them. "Tony Stark has generously donated first aid kits." That was a field medic kit, Tony. "So let's go through what's in here and how to use it, so that when you need a band-aid you don't mistakenly grab a chest seal. Hopefully you won't actually need the chest seals."

There were chest seals in here. Oh, and a snake venom extractor kit. Did they even have venomous snakes on this island? Maybe it worked on gremlin bites, too.

Don spent the rest of the class period unpacking the backpack and ~~handwavily~~ explaining what each item was for and a little bit about how to use it. Yes, including the chest seals.

"If you got one of these in a previous class," because this was not the first time Tony had done this, and he should not have been surprised when he did it again, "feel free to pass this one along to a friend. Everyone should have a first aid kit." Maybe not one this extensive. "Are there any questions?"

Expecting a relatively quiet day at the shop, Eleanor came in, took care of the usual housekeeping and plant-tending things that she usually started her shift with, took care of a few new things to go on the shelves, and then settled in behind the counter with a big cup of tea and an even bigger book of the dusty old poems that she loved so much.

She was mildly concerned that her quiet, peaceful day might be ruined when a couple of gremlin came into the shop not long after she'd settled, but they were actually very easy to handle and were in and out relatively quickly, which just felt like a good, abject lesson in not assuming that just because someone is a gremlin meant that they were going to give you a hard time.

Which almost then made her wonder if gremlins were also subject to being gremlin bit, but she shook her head and realized that down that way went madness and instead figured it was just much easier on the brain to focus on, you know, something nice and easy like Eliot.

Plant Parenthood is open!

There were a number of toy cars on the 'stage' when class arrived. Because someone was inspired by the movie earlier in the week. And neither of the teachers had it in them to deter this artistic vision.

Or they just didn't want to.

"So, apparently there have been some rewrites to the play," Jane said. "And now it involves underground car races."

Her expression was one of 'what can you do?'

"According to our director, your roles are generally the same," including Steve still playing a tiny child. "You're just now all underground racers too. Which means stunt driving."

"Let's get some practice in with the scooters and you can adjust your characterization?" Jane offered. Hopefully.

Or just spend your time crashing. Either worked.

Liliana was once again leaning against the front of the desk, wearing a man's button down shirt that hit her at mid-thigh and a wryly amused expression. "Good morning, class," she said. "I'm sure you're all as thrilled as I am to be having class today." She genuinely was thrilled was the thing. She had not been best pleased about being a cat in general, but losing an entire class was insupportable. "Today we're covering the end of the Brother's War, the discovery of the Phyrexian infiltration, and the activation of the Golgothian Sylex."

( Vacations don't mean lectures get any shorter )

"Two additional side effects of the Sylex Blast that went unknown and unnoticed for centuries were the creation of a time rift, a fracture in the planar fabric of Dominaria itself, and the formation of the Dominarian Nexus and the Shard of Twelve Worlds. The latter only affected Planeswalkers, and the former...well, we'll talk about the former during out final class. Any questions?"

So far, Don and Thor had managed to make Don's new schedule work, but surgery today had run over and Thor was running late when he arrived at The Devil's Nest.

"Not one word," he said to Tiny, who just held up his hands.

It was then that Thor caught sight of the specials board.

Specials
The Moderately Quick & Mildly Irate
Quarter Miler
Corona

Thor sighed. "I suppose I cannot complain." He hadn't been here to make it any different, but now he had to look up how to make two of those. Hopefully everyone would want a Corona.

"All right," Raiden told his students once they'd stepped through this week's portal and were standing on a street outside--you guessed it--a pizzeria. "Today we're in Chicago, home to the deep dish pizza, which is baked in a high-sided pan like a cake tin, with layers and layers of cheese and yummy ingredients. Some people will tell you this isn't pizza. Those people are snobs. Don't listen to them. The new pope is from Chicago, so he probably likes deep dish, and you can't argue with the pope, right? Science." Actually, that was religion, and it wasn't even Raiden's religion, but...details. "You're probably gonna want to eat this pizza with a knife and fork, since you can't really pick up a slice without making a giant mess, but hey, you do you. And after we eat, if you have some time left over, you can explore the neighborhood of Lincoln Park! But first..." He held open the door to Lou Malnati's for them. "Let's get some pizza."

It had been a lot to deal with having to completely restock the store of the last week or two since that vicious raccoon raid destroyed so much of it, but Luma realized that there was an excellent opportunity here for her to be in charge, especially with Boc now presumably gone back to where he came from, to set up the store the way she might like it to be.

Of course, of course, the other employees would get a say, too, it wasn't like she was the boss or anything. But she was a bit boss-y (as she should be! She was, really, an alpha now), and if no one else was going to contend with her or fight for dominance, then she would just go ahead and proceed.

She was having a lot of fun with it, too, considering what should go where, rearranging, reorganizing, changing her mind, and setting up a display in the window, but there was a part of her who kind of did wish someone would challenge her. Because while this was fun, that would be exciting.

Pixie Dust is open!

Guess what, everyone! You were meeting in the home ec classroom today, and you had a substitute teacher! Your normal teacher was there, too, but, just hold on a moment, we'll get to that!

"Good morning, everyone!" Summer greeted the class cheerfully. "How's it going? For those of you who don't know, I'm Summer, and I'm going to be teaching Stark's class today because Stark," she gestured to the animal sitting on the desk beside her, "is currently a koala. As, I'm sure you all know, is just a thing sometimes."

And if you didn't know that already? Well, one new lesson learned down for the day!

"Anyway," she said, "moving on. Since this class is about hobbies, I figured it just made sense to bring to you all a weird hobby I've picked up over the years and that I've really glommed onto and that's a certain morbid fascination with old Mid-Century American recipes, borne out of that bizarro post-war cross-section of prosperity, capitalism, and industrial innovation to bring you things like...."

Oh, no, there were cloches. Summer was lifting the lids of some of them now.

"Prawn-stuffed apples , ham-wrapped bananas with hollandaise sauce, a 'pineapple' made of liver sausage, and of course, the jello mold. This one in particular is a cherry ketchup one, which means it's pretty mild and tame. Especially when compared to some other popular options, such as lime jello with any cheese, and any jello with any kind of fish but especially canned tuna or salmon.

"So, today, we'll be tapping into this as your new potential hobby and I'm going to challenge you to come up with your own terrible Mid-Century style recipe to present to the class today. Bonus point for anyone willing to try each other's work, too! I have a lot of great resources and recipe cards for you to flip through to get inspiration, and even a blast chiller if you need your jello to set faster, and even vegan agar-agar for a plant-based alternative if that's a concern. Obviously, if you have any questions, fire away, but if not, then let's get to seeing what horrible things you can come up with!"

There were black hollyhocks on the counter at Pick Your Poison, and a diligent proprietress who occasionally swung by to check the level of moisture and fertilizer in the soil. "I'd say you seem more calm and content this way, but you're always upbeat," Pam sighed, as she delicately plucked a spent flower from the plant. "It's kind of irritating."

That wasn't really true. Her side still stung from when she'd gotten up too quickly that morning, and Killer Croc's request to go wreck some housing development was still in the air, not to mention the ongoing lamia situation. She could actually use Adrian's easy cheer right now.

But the best she had was the gentle sway of the hollyhocks, and the arbitrary busywork of sweeping up the store before she, eventually, returned to the laboratory upstairs.

You know, I'm not going to ask why you're driving a rickshaw in here, but how are you even managing to drive it in the first place?

No, wait, I don't actually want to know that either.

In School news, Shenanakins were all about family, and beating that family in a race. People took the dangerous risk of mingling, and got voluntold for their troubles. Then they had to race tricycles, rickshaws, and pods, the last of which Anakin won, so they can't have been that hard.

Dorms continued to be quiet, while in Town, Quinn was at the Infinite Consortium feeling like she was being watched, I can't imagine what could have led to that. At the Trooper Station, Danny and one of the Steves talked about Steve's racing successes and penguin conspiracies. The squirrels would also like me to inform you that even conspiracy penguins are not for eating. Summer was back at Caritas telling Rey and Atton all about her trip, while Stark was a koala. Okay.

When Liz got downstairs that morning, there were a few boxes of new stock that had been delivered, so before she sat down to do some work at the computer, she was spending some of the morning working on unpacking the new stock that had arrived.

As she worked on unpacking, she also changed up some of the displays, deciding what stock to rotate out with the new arrivals.

Steven didn't know what was going on with the animal transformations on the island, but at least the various animals - well, fish and bugs - in the museum seemed to just be themselves? Not anyone temporarily misplaced?

Of course Steven wasn't exactly certain how he'd ascertain if they were a transformed islander. But there didn't seem to be any new additions so he was going to call that a good enough way to check.

He then settled in to work behind the Welcome Desk. Which also seemed to be the regular desk and not a transformed person. Sometimes you had to be grateful for the little things.

Why was there composite sketch of a penguin on Danny's desk? Why was there an entire whiteboard, complete with red string connecting random things in the trooper area?

Danny was not going to question any of that, honestly. He was just going to hope whatever weirdness they had going wasn't going to drag him into some sort of rickshaw chase again. He was good on those for a while, thanks.

But he was going to put the penguin picture on Steve's desk.
