Sairis was thrown off by the lack of classes, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to show up to his job.

There was a box in the entryway that seemed to have just been delivered, but when he picked it up to bring it in, there was a thump from inside.

He dropped it and backed away as it twitched and thumped. Then he carefully used magic to pick it up and bring it into the back. Whatever it was, it could wait for Liliana; Sairis wasn't opening anything that moved.

He'd just stay up front and clean the nice, still items.

"I'll use the duster on you if you behave," he told the chair.

...How are you at this rest stop? How did you know I'd be at this rest stop? How did you get all the radio equipment to this rest stop?

*chittering*

Yeah, no matter how many time you insist 'professionalism,' nobody's going to believe you. Anyway, what up, island? It's me, ya girl, Arden Finch, coming at you live from a random rest stop in Louisiana, where the squirrels have successfully tracked me down. It's creepy and I'm not comfortable with this, so I'm just gonna fly through these notes and send them away again, before we're done getting gas and snacks.

No School or Dorms, but a bit of news from Town. There was some kind of Space Battles theme going on, it seems; Magpie Emporium was full of fans and Little Bot had a new weapon, and Steph thought Vi should have one, too. Caleb didn't have an opinion about CGI versus recasting for Space Battles, which, fair, and Ray was giving the workers of Pizza Planet a pep talk about handling things while he and Gray are away for the summer. Space Battles was also being played in the waiting room of the Clinic, but Professor James was busy keeping an eye on the crab.

There was a big get together at Devil's Nest last night, complete with a--you can't get me to say that's a music genre, I don't believe you. Ms. Solo-Fel dropped by for a visit and got caught up on vampire politics. Which probably involved a lot of violence, because vampire politics usually does. After getting a strong whiskey from Mr. Northman, Ms. Beniko and Ms. Solo-Fel talked about how home was always crazy, before chatting with Mr. Jack about his band's tour. Dean Skywalker was lured in by...that genre of music...and talked about one of his other grandchildren with Ms. Solo-Fel before insisting that Mr. Cade was lying and he was not covering drinks. Ms. Beniko somehow missed Dean Skywalker's correction, and Mr. Jack teamed up with Mr. Cade to argue with him about it. Even Cal was there, saying that...that music...had made him homesick, and Ms. Blake just wanted to know if this was going to be a weeklong thing or what.

Anyway, I'm out of notes and also out of time, so enjoy the rest of your day and normally I'd play something thematic, but I'm not having that search term in my algorithm, so ask your closest Jedi about their...music from home, I guess.

Bye!

Tino (who still wasn't telling where he'd been and Kitty hated it) looked very confused when Kitty got there before him and put on a Space Battles movie on in the back room.

"What?" she said. "Don't you dare think it's just one day."

He didn't question it further.

The Devil had not been at the Nest for far too long. Luckily, that sad, sad time was coming to an end.

Lucifer chased off the jizz musicians with a look as he strode into the bar, and then clapped that same Look onto Tiny. Tiny did not budge.

"What," Lucifer said, "Was that."

Tiny shrugged.

Lucifer let out an annoyed sigh. "You know, I think this place could take a renovation, honestly," he said. "Perhaps a few more tall video screens with images of strippers on them, or something."

The mood could only improve.

"So," Lucifer said, "Is there any difference between fishing in Chile and fishing here? Are the fish bitier, perhaps? Or more boring? Would you rate Fandom above or below Chile on the boredom scale where it comes to fishing? I have hard time telling the difference, personally."

Yes, Lucifer did still enjoy inviting him along on Duke's fishing trips. And yes, he did still sort of trash talk fishing by proxy while doing it.

But it was a nice morning, and they were having a nice wander along the beach to whatever point Duke had in mind for his next fishing... adventure. And it was nice to be home.

"No, what makes for a good fishing spot?"

He was trying!

There was a live band tonight that Eric had not ordered. Tiny pleaded innocence entirely too quickly for it to be real, either. "What kind of music do they play?" Eric asked, looking confused by the plasticky blue elephant...thing playing a keyboard.

Tiny told him.

"It is not called that."

Tiny grinned.

"Well, that's probably why they were so cheap," Eric said.

Tiny told him how much they cost.

"Well, that's probably why it's coming out of your paycheck," Eric amended.

Welcome to the Devil's Nest. Enjoy the jizz band.

There was a Space Battles movie on the TV in the waiting area of the clinic and Stabby had a laser sword. Thankfully it was a toy laser sword or everyone would likely be dead already.

"Morning," Stark said, dropping off some space themed donuts and coffees at the desk as he arrived.

He was expecting a quiet day. But you never knew around here. Anything could happen.

The clinic was open, the crab was swinging a toy laser sword with abandon, and the alien was in.

A fun fact about Erasmus: he owned a car! A car that had been taking up space in his mother's driveway since he went off to college, and even though it wasn't like he needed it on the island, she would like it gone, please. So yesterday he and his friends had portaled to his momma's house, been fussed over appropriately, and spent the night and been fed breakfast this morning before they had promptly headed out.

In the wrong direction, because New Orleans was right there and Erasmus knew his duties as Local Guide. They had like four more days after this to drive back to Maryland. It would be fine.

Now they were standing in the middle of the French Quarter as Erasmus tried really hard not to think about how much he was paying for the privilege of parking his car, and he asked, "Okay, what do we want to do? Bourbon Street is a hellhole." He was just getting that out there first thing.

((For those friends. NFB due to distance!))

"...they may not have had a legal requirement to get the family's permission, but it seems to me they had a moral obligation to do so. Caleb, what do you think?"

The vet tech and one of the volunteers had been going on for some time about the Space Battles franchise which had segued into using CGI to bring back characters who's original actors had passed on rather than re-casting them.

Caleb had not gotten around to Space Battles. It was too big. Likewise Mr. What.

"I'll be honest I'm not sure I understood most'a that. But respectin' the family's wishes seems t'me t'be the right thing t'do."

Steve was ignoring the dogs' obstacle course today in the ballroom today, heading for the human-sized equipment.

The dogs, who had followed him in expecting something more them-centric, took to tugging on chew toys instead of going through their obstacle course while Steve went through a workout, then started a run on the special Steve-proof treadmill.

The children visiting always left Steven in a thoughtful mood. Hard not to ponder what their dads' lives were like. Steven didn't ask, of course. It wasn't the children's job to report on such things and dimensions had so much difference even when the changes seemed small it wasn't worth asking.

Still. Steven couldn't help but wonder what if?

Which made him glad for the distraction of work to keep his mind off of things.

Good morning. Wednesday, again. Hopefully a more pleasant Wednesday than the last. If last Wednesday was pleasant for you…I don’t want to hear about it, thank you. Especially you, Leroy.

Today was quiet. It often is after these weeks and weekends. And there’s no classes at the school and there’s nothing from the dorms, sorry Porg. So, a few notes from the town.

Sairis was at the Infinite Consortium, where there was still a glowy skull on display and potions and charms on offer.

Bucky opened up the movie theatre with some movies with lots of blood. Jesse was drawn in by the bloody horror movies and…there was a small cat in the theatre, for some reason.

And finally Kitty was subjected to tales of Tino’s children before I arrived and…told her about my own impossible boy from the weekend.

That’s all I have from yesterday for today.

Sairis had spent the early part of last week antsy and needy, and then had decided to head somewhere remote and meditate. Instead, when he'd gotten to the top floor of the dorms, he had been eaten by a metal cabinet that Google informed him was a locker and was not supposed to eat people. Apparently he'd missed his finals, but they mostly hadn't happened.

This place was strange.

Today, though, he was back at the shop. The glowy dragon-head thing was still in the window, but the sign next to it now read, Don't ask, I just like it.

Next to that was another sign: Potions and charms available: Calm, fertility or infertility, privacy available - others by request.

Sairis was spending his time looking up what that glowy dragon-head thing actually was, but he could answer other questions!

Hey there, Fandom. It's me, ya girl Arden Finch, and...it's always a lot quieter the day after the kids go home, isn't it? Yeah...

Well, anyway, there's no School and no Dorms to report, so just a bit of stuff from Town to share. Professor Vess was with her daughter at the Infinite Consortium playing go, at least until Sairis came in asking about...carnivorous metal cabinets? Ooookayyyy, then. Kids got to eat free at Pizza Planet, which my kids appreciated when we stopped by. So weird that there are no radio notes about that! What were you squirrels even doing? Professor James brought his son with him to the Clinic, which made the nurses all happy, and Rey was in Mr. Blackwood's Grove with their daughters getting them all sugared up before sending them home. There's a thick stack of notes here about everything that they got up to, but out of respect for their privacy, I'll just say that children were adorable and goodbyes were said.

And with that, I'm out of notes, so I'll be signing off. Take care island, and enjoy emlyn's god sent me a karma which may or may not be related to the weekend. Bye!

Unsurprisingly, Rey loved having the girls around. It was one of the rare weekends like this that wasn't weird or kind of traumatic. Instead, it was just nice. There would definutely be things to think about, and the timing was definitely awkward for when they were supposed to go to Beltane, but... nice.

Also Hanna could maybe be a little more forthcoming about some of the Jedi stuff in her universe but whatever.

And knowing that their time together was coming to an end, that felt like a good excuse to sugar them up on cookies before send them off. Sorry, AU future Reys and Adrians.

The nurses exclaimed over the grey boy and set to spoiling him for the day. As if Stark wasn't doing a fine job of that already. He was a charming boy. Clearly got that from his mother.

Stark said a quick hello to Stabby and his crabster offspring who had returned for another year it seemed.

"Now. Tell us everything about your father," a nurse encouraged Neri. Stark just sighed.

There aren't many notes for the day, though. Stark brought his son to try the Skywalker sundae at Chilly Boulder- never something you'll regret- and Gregorith wasn't up on what's happening so he was researching the kid weekend at the museum. Sorry, that's usually one of the first things newbies get told.

Well, today's shift hadn't started off with a movie about a baby dinosaur losing its mother, so already it was on better footing than the last time Irrim had accompanied Liliana to the store. Then Liliana had the brilliant idea to let Irrim choose what bit of merchandise to showcase in the display window today (thus eating up nearly a solid hour while the girl prowled the store in search for the perfect item), and, once that decision had been made, introducing her to the strategy game go. There was still plenty of time for it all to go south, but, for now, a tentative peace reigned.

She'd take it.

Gregorith had been initially puzzled when he hear the radio update. He didn't know Watts and Stephen had kids. Granted it was Stephen's prerogative to volunteer that information or not, but he hadn't struck Gregorith as the type to keep that a secret.

But then he thought he remembered something he'd seen in the museum's archives. Soon enough he found what he was looking for. Records of weekends past where possible future children found their way to the present. There were transcripts of radio broadcasts and some photos.

He chuckled ruefully at the shell shocked expressions on some of the future parents. He also thought of how weird it must have been for the kids, to meet their own parents when they were little more than kids themselves.

He counted himself lucky that he seemed to have been skipped over by this particular event, though part of him was a little sad as well. Just more proof that he was not likely to have a family of his own.

He put on some music and double checked that everything was child safe.

Stark hadn't slept much last night but Neri had eventually fallen asleep mid-sentence after chattering away into the wee hours. There had been pancakes for breakfast and more talking. The boy had stories. So many stories.

They were now seated at a table inside Chilly Boulder waiting for the Skywalker sundae that Neri had ordered.
He'd scoffed at the idea he might not be able to finish it. "Dad. Come on. I know how to eat. Especially ice cream. Especially chocolate!"

Considering the boy's apparent parentage Stark had to agree that a sweet tooth that would never be satisfied did seem incredibly likely.

Hello, folks. Tony again with the news from yesterday. Rey woke up with Adrian to meet their children. Which apparently no one had warned Adrian about. Oops! Vi and Steph also woke up to a very unimpressedkid. I think that might just be parenthood in a nutshell there. Liliana woke up to a particularly loud kid and Ignis got to discuss the changes between the last time she'd the kid had been around and now. Octavia on the Cape Rouge also had a visitor with mixed reactions of delight from Duke and surprise from Lucifer. Stark went to the Perk, but was also found by a kid of his. Welcome to the weekend for it. Watts and Steven had breakfast with their kids at Midnight Manor.

Several years on the island had given Watts a general idea of certain rhythms - which is why his and Steven's somewhat impulsive trip to Japan had concluded last night, in anticipation of certain little visitors this morning, or just attending their usual Saturday services at their synagogue if no such visitors showed.

Luckily for them, it ended up being Option A.

"All right," Watts said, once everyone- including Raphael, of course- was assembled in the kitchen. "We are now taking votes for what to have for breakfast."

All of this was to be expected.

His extremely sugary coffee order with extra whipped cream was also entirely expected. Stark had the coffee and he had a breakfast sandwich even though it was afternoon and he was just sitting, glad to be feeling less restless than he had been for the whole week.

It was shaping up to be a quiet, peaceful sort of day.

Sorry, Steve.

But let's get this going so I can go back to helping out my husband, shall we?

At the school, Thor wisely cancelled the last Combat 101 class. Cupcakes of the World was also cancelled with Stark providing Gatorade and cupcakes to anyone who showed up. Very kind of him. Oh, and we watched a movie for our last class of Overcoming Obstacles.

The dance was remarkably quiet, but then again, I'm sure people were still occupied by the pollen. The squirrels did include that Arden and Cal had a great time of it at least. Over at Blackstone, Henry kept himself busy with forging horseshoes. I mean. It certainly is manual labor to ignore other things. I'll give him that much! Barnes had an evening in with what I'm assuming is quiet contemplation. Or brooding. The squirrels say brooding.

And with all that, I'm out of here. Try to have a good weekend, folks!

As soon as Octavia woke up, just a little too early for a Saturday morning, she knew the pollen was gone again. Nothing buzzed incessantly under her skin, and her partners looked only the usual amount of attractive to her. (Not that 'the usual' wasn't in itself a considerable amount, but, you know.) Everything seemed... calm.

Except for her ability to get back to sleep.

So Octavia got up, quietly. She got the coffee machine running in the galley, and then grabbed one of their yoga mats to take up on deck with her. But then she got up there, and found out she wasn't alone. Someone else was just crossing the gangplank. A teenager, dark hair, even darker clothes.

Octavia's heart skipped a beat. She stopped in her tracks.

"Ha yun, nomon," Rory said, with a crooked smile, a hint of teasing in it. "You look like you've seen a ghost."

Maybe it felt like it, too. The long summer last year had been hard, and even though at the end of it, the Rory that had been around but convinced she was the daughter of the detective and a deadbeat Lucifer had reverted back into their Rory, the memories of her rejection of all of them (and not even recognizing Octavia and Duke) had weighed heavy on Octavia's mind. Still did. You couldn't always rationalize your way out of a wound like that.

But maybe you could overwrite some of it with a weekend.

Octavia shuddered, then launched herself at the girl, grabbing her in the tightest hug possible. Rory made the requisite gently affronted teenage noises about her being ridiculous, but still hugged her back just as tight.

It was, after all, nice to be loved. Even by the weird young versions of your parents.

As was happening all across the island, Liliana was quite happily asleep in bed, still tangled up with Ignis and sleeping the sleep of the pleasantly exhausted. She had no plans to leave the bed until noon at the earliest, and Ignis would have to talk fast if he expected to be let up much before then, either.

And if anybody came trying to drag him out for an early morning run, she was going to blight first, ask questions never.

One could forgive her for not realizing what today would be. Last year, the island had been kind and hadn't sent them any surprises as they were recovering from their battle with Emrakul and Liliana had decided to take that as a sign that it had been a one-time fluke that the universe had hastily made sure would never happen again.

You know what she didn't need? A shouted, "RISE AND SHIIIIIIIIII~IIIIIIIIINE!" from the other side of the bedroom door. You know what she was gonna get?

Just guess.

Vi and Steph had been planning on going to the dance last night, but then they'd gotten dressed for the dance last night, and, well, it's not like they didn't have a tendency to get distracted even when they weren't completely and utterly doused in pollen.

So, no, they hadn't made it to the dance last night. They hadn't even made it to the front door.

They had, however, eventually made it to the bed, where Vi now snuggled in closer to Steph, eyes still firmly closed.

So, that had been a good week.

Rey could tell immediately upon waking up that the pollen was gone. That halfway buzzing feeling was gone, and she was relieved but also a little sorry about it, even if they didn't exactly need it.

And despite all the closeness this week, she snuggled a little closer to Adrian, because even if she was awake and actually a little hungry, she didn't want to be apart yet. Sure, there were things that she'd needed to do that had gone wholly ignored and she should get to them, but it wasn't like real life was going anywhere.

She'd also historically not had a reason to automatically remember what this weekend tended to be, but it should register in a bit.

Tony and Steve had been distracted this week--go figure--and Friday snuck up on them. Which meant there was a movie set up for the class.

"We meant to come up with a final exam for you all, but... things came up," Tony said, scratching his nose.

Steve was a professional and would not snicker inappropriately at that, but he did shoot Tony a "I see what you did there" look. "So we found a movie that you can enjoy instead of having to focus on anything in particular."

"And then get ready for the dance tonight," Tony added, very much not looking at his husband for professional reasons.
