Summer was already feeling a little restless that week, as one might expect when one had a RageFest sized carrot dangled in front of them on the way to a new possible business prospect, and it really didn't help that Tino, although he didn't say anything, was giving her a look as she set up her specials board that week.

"What?" she said. "We had a lot of mango at the store this week! You think I'm happy about that? I don't even like mango all that much!"

And now Tino was really looking at her like she was crazy.

The final touches were being put on the property at 79 Godiva Street and the kitchen was being stocked, so there was nothing left to do now but announce it.

With fliers, as was traditional, which was why Raiden could be found around town on Wednesday morning putting those fliers up, and occasionally pausing to dither over whether he'd put them at an appropriate eye level for someone who wasn't approximately the size of a commercial fridge.

GRAND OPENING!!!
Join us Sunday, July 6 to celebrate the opening of

He should have brought Gray along to provide a more appropriate eye level gauge. Some of these might be too low. Some were definitely too high. But Raiden was out here doin' his best.

Good morning, everyone, it's Captain Steve Rogers a few days early. Stark--the other Stark--was unavailable today.

Since it's a break week, we're pretty quiet on the island and I can assure you that the park is safe to walk through today. We didn't have classes yesterday, but I am looking forward to seeing everyone back at paintball next week!

In town, Liliana was at the diner for her weekly--

*chittering*

--I am not calling it a "booty call." Her lunch date with Ignis. Stark asked Gladio at the gym for hobby ideas--Tino at Caritas' new hobby is apparently blending things--and gardening is always a good choice too. Pam was helping her plants get through the heat wave. Jaina was in the Perk drinking coffee and reading and both of those would also be hobbies, though in my household drinking coffee is more of a personality trait than a hobby.

Party planning could also be a hobby, and so I hope you all can make it to my party tomorrow. Tony's really gone to a lot of effort for it. Have a great day!

For all that Octavia, Duke and Lucifer were in Los Angeles under a looming sense of foreboding like time was about to run out, there also seemed to be nothing but time. Octavia was doing her best to adjust, to build new routines away from the island. Going back to the ship to take care of her plants, finding hiking trails she liked (whenever the weather didn't feel like it was out to kill her), trying to -- just trying to stay busy. Keep active.

But some days the body felt like it needed to rest. And sometimes Octavia even gave into that instead of pushing forward. Today was one of those, so she was reading a book in Lucifer's living room, her back against the floor and her feet up on the couch.

Well, she was pretending to read, anyway.

See, there were downsides to letting herself be still - like how much louder it made all kinds of thoughts she'd been ignoring and repressing and holding back. Thoughts about things like Heaven, and Hell, and how it was July 2nd again and she didn't even know if Bellamy was alive like her or dead like their mother.

(Where was their mother?)

There was a certain kind of loneliness that didn't touch her often, but when it did, it hurt.

But at least she was holding her book the correct way up?

Adrian peered cautiously into the store, trying to find any hint of...weirdness. No decorations that he could see, nothing singing annoying songs, no random bags of chips tucked away anywhere.

Or, well, none of those things right now.

He moved inside, carefully, step by tentative step, head on a swivel. So far...so good...?

Nothing on his way through the aisles. Nothing as he stepped behind the register.

Nothing at all.

Nothing. At. All.

But during his shift, why did it feel like someone watching him?

There was a weird beach tableau happening in the library today. Books - beach reads, obviously - were lounging around, while Beach Boys played from some portable speakers. Some books rested on towels, some wear floaties around their covers, a few are clustered around a couple of different coolers. Arden had no idea of what could even be in those coolers. What snacks and beverages would books even bring to the beach?

Not curious enough to actually tread into their space, mind.

At least not until she saw a pair of books with a bottle of suntan lotion between them, the paper cover pulled slightly askew. "Okay, absolutely not!" she called. "We do not put lotion onto the books!"

Jaina had mixed feelings about the fact that they were still here. She didn't mind it. The kids were having fun, Jag wasn't as stressed, she didn't have to deal with the Empire. But this wasn't normal life, either.

Plus there was still a threat out there, and Jaina wasn't getting annoyed that she wasn't aware of any progress on that. Maybe she needed to make a visit. If she was the target of anything, good luck to them, so she wasn't worried about that. And in the meantime she'd take some time at a table with coffee and a datapad to check over some reports on what was going on over there.

The heat would not be kind to some of the plants in Pick Your Poison's garden; Pam knew as much. So she'd spent some time moving some items around, putting up some sheets to create more areas of shade.

Yes, oftentimes, it was best to let nature do her own work. But sometimes - like in these times of manmade disaster - you had to help her.

The store was open. The correct sign was on the door. If anyone needed Pam, though, she'd be in the garden, checking on all the plants, making a note of which to water later, when the sun went down.

Tino was hyper focused on the blender today. Normally not a huge problem, but he was taking it as a challenge. Everything was getting blended. Did you want a run and Coke? Blended. Martini? Blended. Beer? You best believe you were getting it blended.

Kitty was a little worried about bow this would end, and yet:

Hey there Fandom, it's me, ya girl, Arden Finch, welcoming you into July by telling you all the cool things that we did to finish up June. Which, judging by the size of this stack, isn't really much? Because we're all on vacation, being beach bums, right?

*chittering*

...Or obsessively listening to a single band on repeat. Thank you, squirrels, very vital for you to have brought that up.

Anyway, With nothing happening in School or the Dorms, it was just stuff in Town that rates a mention. We start with Vi changing back from being a kitten over Pride weekend, and anything that happened between her and Steph after that is their business, not ours. Professor Vess was arguing with a crystal ball in the Infinite Consortium, I guess because she didn't like her fortune, probably? Mystery Sign Theater 3000 was showing What Can A Girl Do? and Mayor Faden came by to catch the movie and tease Mr. Barnes about stereotypes and candy. That's...not a very descriptive note, rodents. Pizza Planet saw Raiden putting in orders for a metric BLEEPton of eggs and potatoes....I'm guessing for his new breakfast place? But that's just a guess, there's a holiday coming up, he might be making a kiddie pool's worth of potato salad.

*chittering*

No, I have faith that Raiden wouldn't put raisins or blueberries in his potato salad. He's a Nephilim, not a monster. Professor James Stark bought out the last of the Pride pastries and brought them to the Clinic nurses, and Officer McGarrett was looking at emails at the Trooper Station. The squirrels are making a big deal about him not answering any, but who amongst us has not read an email and decided to just deal with it all later. I click mine back to 'unread' so that it stays at the time of my email. Also, if I get too many unread emails, I start getting twitchy. Fun Finch Facts that nobody asked for! And, lastly, Tiny was making drinks with sparklers in them, and Mr. Northman was nearby with a fire extinguisher to make sure that Devil's Nest didn't end up burning down.

And that's it for this radio! So long Fandom, this is ya girl, Arden Finch, leaving you with How It's Done by Huntr/x! Have a great day!

When he came in that morning, Gladio found that everything was running as it should, the gremlins were behaving, the Cup Noodle^TM claw machine was well stocked, his emails and phone calls were call cleared and caught up....

...some people might have been suspicious about something like that,but Gladio knew how to take advantage of an unexpectedly peaceful boon when he saw one and seized the opportunity to finish that book he'd started that Sunday that he was really having trouble putting down in thr first place.

It didn't take Ignis very long at all to notice a slight difference in the kitchen, when he came into work that day, getting his coffee ready and preparing for thinking up some new recipehs for the specials board. He took a moment to pause and listen, though, before making any comment about it, but, feeling confident, he lifted a brow toward the rest of the staff.

"No Greg today?" he asked.

Apparently, he had a dentist appointment that day, which meant that Ignis could only give him distant kudos for his acceptable levels of dental hygene, but then Ignis also couldn't help notice that the patchouli did still linger, even in his absense, which was why he, for a moment, doubted himself.

Everyone else, it seemed, just were eager to see how this altered their odds when it came to the betting board.

Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone! It's time to sign up for your Second Session Summer 2025 Workshops! These sign-ups are open to EVERYONE: students, teachers, and townies. Please read the following before you start signing up:

1) Teacher and Student Class Expectations! The all important guideline for what is expected of the players in Fandom High. Please give it a once-over even if you've seen it in some form or other before - consider it a good thing to click and read while I put up the OCD!

2) Japanese characters, please sign up in the Western style - given name, then family name - to make our alphabetical OCDing easier.

The Important Stuff About Signing Up For Classes

1) Since we've removed the cap on characters, we have also removed the cap on the number of classes your characters can sign up for, but please consider your RL ability to keep up before chucking a character at every class we're offering.

2) If you're a TA for a class, you need to sign up for that class. It will count towards your minimum 2. (Not you, recent grads.) Please note TA-ship in the sign-up for easy of making the class lists accurate. Teachers: please refrain from having your own character act as the TA as it defeats the purpose of having a back-up player to post for you!

3) If it's OOC for your character to take a class but you really want to take it anyway, just sign them up and we'll pretend it was an IG paperwork mishap.

4) If you sign up, please, please try to show up. It lets the mods judge if you're still in the game and it makes the work the teachers are putting into coming up with something fun to interact with so worth it.

5) Class descriptions are subject to change at the teacher's discretion.

6) To be fair to people in all time-zones, sign-ups are not first-come, first-serve.

And now we get to what you really want to see: Summer Workshops! (Session 2)!!!!

FH class sign-ups will close at 11:59pm Eastern on Saturday, July 5, 2025, and are IG knowledge.

General FYI: Feel free to make changes to your class choices as long as you do it before the deadline. We use the final pings in each thread to make the class lists, not the email notifs. Questions or difficulties, please email us - fandomhighadmins (@) iambicnut.com - or drop a question in the Questions thread down below.

~~PLEASE HOLD WHILE I OCD~~ Go ahead!

Hello from Greece, where apparently even being on holiday does not absolve me of my duties regarding the news.

The entirety of which is centered around yesterday's Pride Parade in Town, organized by our own wonderful Miss Stephanie Gingrich.

There was a spot for folks to get ready, followed by the parade itself, full of decorated rickshaws and marchers. And of course along the route there were spots to observe the proceedings, which Stark, Steven, and I took advantage of. And of course following all that there was the Post-Parade Park Picnic, which the squirrels would like me to ask you to 'say five times really fast'. Naturally, given that the picnic boasted cupcakes, Stark was there to partake.

And that's all that was noteworthy about yesterday, I'll see you next week.

Steve had not opened his stitches trying to win a prize on Saturday, which he was counting as a win. (He was still annoyed that the prize he'd won was dramatically smaller than he was used to.)

He was finally reading through his cache of emails from his Navy buddies expressing that mix of congratulations and commiseration that could only come with leaving a career earlier than you'd intended to. He was far from the only SEAL to have been medically discharged, but it stung enough to read through the messages, however heartfelt, that he couldn't reply back to them just yet.

He stored them carefully in a new folder. He'd get back to them when he could.

For now, he was hoping for some sort of island-wide crime spree, either here or in Honolulu, to take his mind off of it. That looked a lot like staring into space to anyone observing, though.

Did Tiny need to be making cocktails with sparklers in them? No, he did not. But it was a celebratory sort of week, he had a lot of time on his hands, and sparklers were on sale.

Eric was sitting at the bar wondering if he needed to bring the fire extinguisher closer, just in case.

The Devil's Nest was festive tonight!

It was the last day of June and the bakery had an excess of rainbow baked goods to sell and so of course Stark had stopped off for those and iced coffees this morning.

The clinic also had rather a lot of rainbow items to give away, leftovers from the festival and parade.

Stabby was sporting a pair of crab-sized rainbow sunglasses and had a rainbow shot glass full of something in his tank with him and looking very suspicious.

Stark was seated at the desk with a rainbow donut and a frozen coffee concoction topped with whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles.

The clinic was open, the crab was possibly doing crime while being queer, and the alien was in.

"Yeah, no, we're going to need a lot more eggs than that...no, a lot more eggs than that. And double the potato order." Raiden had gone out for brunch once and the place had been out of potatoes. Out of potatoes! At Sunday brunch! He was still not emotionally recovered from it, and that would never happen at his restaurant. Potatoes were too precious to run out of. "Listen, I gotta let you go, I've still got this place to run. Yeah. It's gonna be great!"

After he finished writing up the specials board for today, he needed to call the printer about fliers announcing the grand opening. Wow, who knew this was so much work when you weren't just stepping into an already running business? Crazy!

In a couple of days, Bucky was going to take off for Wakanda again. They kept making what felt like progress, just... Agonizingly slow progress. But, with it being the week that it was, at least Steve had already announced he'd be visiting come Friday. So Bucky had that to look forward to.

In the meantime, the theater was playing another movie he hadn't actually seen yet.

NOW SHOWING
What Can A Girl Do

It was going to be an education in both rock'n'roll as well as Jayne Mansfield.
