I do not care if he is a koala I am an eagle and that does not stop me from communicating! How dare you!

Once again, I, Sam Eagle, have been forced by squirrels to read you the news of yesterday as seen through their tiny rodent eyes.

At the school, the class on Beach built sand castles. At least that is a wholesome activity. In Paintball! somehow Captain Rogers’s team lost which is an outrage! My class was canceled because I was unavoidably detained and there is no reason to look into that further!

Nothing from the dorms but the young porg is bearing up well under the circumstances.

Now, let us discuss the town. It seems the objectionable bartender at Caritas was making inappropriate suggestions to Kitty. Shameful behavior, sir!

In less shameful behavior, Remy kept his pets at home instead of bringing them to work with him. Well done, young man. He seems to have been rewarded with pizza.

Finally, Marc was at the coffee shop for, we must assume, coffee though he did peruse the available pastries as well.
He was then joined by Harley who walked into a door. That sounds painful. I recommend against it in the future, young lady! Their conversation involved bikes and then breaking up because someone thought he knew better and sir I recommend against that as well. And it all ended in tears which seems unnecessary for the squirrels to have reported on and I regret my part in reading it!

Thankfully we are finished and I will not be punished with this nonsense in future weeks.

There was a pizza on the sales desk.

Quinn looked around the shop. She peered at the pizza.

She had no idea what some of those toppings were.

After a lot of thought, she picked the pizza up and moved it over to the carnivorous chair.

She might be young, but she was definitely old enough to be suspicious of random pizzas.

Koala sitting hadn't necessarily put a damper on Summer's work in trying to figure out what to do about her jello enterprise in Ravnica, but it did sort of make it slightly slower going than she would have liked. Since she was so distracted with all of that, though, she didn't have time to put a lot of thought into what to do for her shift at the bar tonight. Thankfully, a quick look through her pantry to do some inventory on what she had and what might need used up before she completely switched gears to another plane for a while, helped her get some inspiration.

Or, at the very least, find something that she had way too much of that she should probably use up soon.

Three guesses as to what type of booze in particular seemed to have been collecting a lot of dust among all the vodka, rum, and gin...

Featured Cocktail
Brandy Alexander

Featured Jello
Brandy Pudding
Blackberry Brandy
Brandy Old Fashioned

It was...well, not Tatooine hot because the humidity was so high that Anakin felt like he could chew the air...but that sweet spot of unbearable that Maryland got as July slid into August and no one with a modicum of sense was going to be outside.

(Well, a few were outside, and Anakin knew better than to wonder if Jaina had any sense.)

He'd turned the park into an ode to summer water activities. The slip 'n slides were back, spewing water instead of alcoholic beverages, and aimed at landing in the pond. There was an arsenal of water guns waiting for all takers, an ice cream truck with an incredibly loud, incredibly perky song that wouldn't.stop.playing (maybe if you threatened them with the water guns?) and free treats for anyone who asked, and a beach volleyball court set up because there was always (generally one of the Steves, sometimes both of the Steves) needing some sort of ridiculously athletic activity to participate in.

Anakin, for his part, had ditched the Jedi robes in favor of shorts (oh, the legs, they were so pale), sunglasses, and a trashy sci-fi novel, and was sitting by the pond with his feet in the water with no bullhorn or horrifying t-shirt pile to be seen.

"Relax," he told everyone as they arrived. "There's no trick today."

That would probably not stop people for looking for the trick, but that was because they'd known Anakin for more than ten minutes.

The last thing Arden remembered before her sudden finching was the library being a complete wreck, so she was very grateful to discover that, at some point in the intervening two weeks, someone or something had cleaned it all up. She couldn't swear that the mess had been the reason for her transformation, but she couldn't completely disregard the possibility, either. Today, however, that seemed unlikely to be a concern either way; the library was spotless. In fact, the circulation desk was practically gleaming in the light.

Hey, wait a minute--

Arden marched over to the desk and examined it closely. Yep, someone had smeared Vaseline on the surface of it. And there were thumbtacks on the chair she normally sat in. And a bucket was perched precariously over the door to Mr. Constantine's office.

Someone had been in the mood for pranks, it appeared.

Marc had gone for a walk around the island just to get some movement in. Or that was the reason he told himself. Maybe there was other motivation but nothing he was letting near his conscious thoughts.

Before he headed back he decided to hit the Perk. Coffee for himself, stuff for back home. Not for any particular reason. Or again no reason he was telling himself. At best it was him noticing Illyana had dropped off her usual deliveries and he was feeling inspired.

Of course the replenishment of the vodka stash - which he hadn't made use of yet, just noted and moved a fresh bottle into the freezer of the mini fridge in his office - could just mean getting something for Illyana. But for whatever reason he was thinking about the other residents too.

Nothing he was examining too closely.

The problem was that Steven was the one who remembered crap like preferences and diet. Marc could ask Steven, but doing so felt like cheating. So here Marc was trying to remember.

Watts and Steven were easy, Marc knew their preferences on enough things. Illyana was chocolate donuts (you remembered when it was the person who kept you in good vodka and pastrami). Arden was... not poultry? Which Marc remembered because Watts had just done that radio about her being a bird? But was that even relevant when far as Marc knew there was no such thing as a chicken cupcake?

Yeah, got a little harder as he went down the list. Which was why he was in front of the counter, not in line yet, and studying the selection like it was a text he couldn't translate.

It took a judicious application of treats, but Remy managed to head to the store this week without the cats in tow.

Which was good, because the store was particularly . . . fragrant, today.

The source, he quickly discovered, was an extra-large pizza covered in brightly colored, not-easily identified, but likely non-traditional toppings, sitting on the check-out desk.

Remy blinked at it. He poked at it. He sniffed it delicately.

He decided to sit on the other side of the room today.

But hey, customers who may or may not show up: have some pizza! It's on sale. It may or may not be cursed.

[this post brought to you by the not-at-all mysterious pizza my company got for us for lunch. Mine has fried chicken and bacon on it. Mmmmm.]

Today Steve and Tony had on scrimmage pinnies on over their usual paintball protective gear. Steve was in blue, Tony in red.

"We're gonna capture the flag today, troops!" Steve said with entirely too much enthusiasm. "Half of you will be with me on Team Cap, and the other half will be Team Iron Man." He grinned. "And lose. How sad for you."

This was clearly going to end in tears. "We've had a neutral third party hide a blue flag and a red flag somewhere in this course. Whatever team finds the other team's flag first wins! Listen up for your names."

Class was being held in the Danger Shop again. Partially because it was far too hot to go to the actual beach, and partially because Isabela was, well, partial to the neon pink sand. Which had a number of pastel coloured toy buckets set up along it.

"Welcome back," Isabela greeted them, and no, neither she nor Aphra would even acknowledge their absence last week. "Today we'll be tackling a class of the beach. Sand castles!"

"We considered making this a competition for best sandcastle to motivate you," Aphra added. "But we decided that really, you're all winners." Plus otherwise they'd have to judge the merits of everyone's castle, and that would be too much like work.

Kitty liked doing the movie thing on Monday, and was putting up posters advertising the next one, but it opened her up for helpful suggestions from Tino about which ones to do next.

These suggestions elicited answers like, "That's disgusting," "Kids go to this," "No, we're not doing anything gory," and finally, "What the hell is wrong with you?"

Fun day over here!

Good morning all, it seems the only new that the squirrels deemed noteworthy from yesterday was Miss Finch transforming from a literal finch back into her regular form on Mr. Kestis's balcony. Which was, I am being told, a little awkward due to both her rather precarious postion on the railing and the fact that she lacked clothing.

Until next time, Fandom.

This week class was indoors in Ghanima's regular classroom. While the heat didn't bother her, it was too much for the students and Trebor. And as people arrived, they would find her quietly coaching Trebor over a chess board, studious intent written all over his toddler face.

I haven't scared you off yet?" Ghanima asked, looking up from their game. "Fantastic."

"The question of free will is if, and in what sense, rational agents exercise control over their actions and decisions," Ghani said, hopping off her desk to wander haphazardly among the desks. "Addressing this question requires understanding the relationship between freedom and cause, and determining whether the laws of nature are causally deterministic. Sounds fun, hrm?"

( Read more... )
"Now, then, let's ponder." Ghanima leaned against the wall to survey the room. "Moral responsibility, madness, and free will. Go."

Why did the classroom look like a cheap Italian restaurant? Why was there a miniature giraffe in a scarf in the corner? Excellent questions, both! Your teachers would explain it later.

"Hello, everyone," Anakin said.

"Today s all about hidden layers." It was not, but Ahsoka had learned to spin a line of bantha poodoo with the best of them. "So we may as well judge your homework first off."

Anakin nodded. "Yes, show us your costumes."

The costumes that you had remembered to wear, right?

Of course they had! They were conscientious students! Probably.

"And now onto the second part," Anakin said. "You are going to create chemistry on a first date."

Which...sort of explained the restaurant set up.

Feel free to start having a bad feeling about this. "Working in teams, you will relay instructions to your single on what to say and how to act. We will be judging which team had the best first date."

Feel free to start having a really bad feeling about this.

"Earl the miniature giraffe is looking for love," Anakin said like that was a normal thing to say. "His date, Tiny, will be here soon."

Steph was still of a feline disposition, so Vi had brought her along to the store, much to Saffron's dismay.

It was bad enough that Food Human was stealing all her rightful snuggles, and she was being forced to (ugh) share her salmon, but every time Snuggle Human had to actually do anything that required her attention, Food Human would immediately start trying to play with her.

Like now, when Food Human was pouncing on her tail.

Help, Snuggle Human. Help.

The projector was set up in the park again, with all the room to set down chairs and blankets so people could hang out and watch.

Tino was also handing out toy totally-not-lightsabers which was not in the plan and he wasn't supposed to be involved in any of this so surely this would go well.

It was back in the classroom today, where Jag and Jaina were happy to take the droid babies people were probably thrilled to get rid of.

"Today will be a discussion class," Jaina said. "How did the week go? How did you work with your co-parent? Did you learn anything about the experience, et cetera?"

"And we will be checking the droid babies for damage after class so if there's anything we need to know tyrrr, now would be the time," Jag added.

"I'm allowing it," Raiden decided when the staff showed him what they'd whipped up for today's special. "That's not what angels look like, but I'm allowing it." It was kind of funny, after all.

There were a multitude of reasons why Pam was happy to keep her lab on Fandom. Lack of sudden super-villain drive-bys, for one. A quiet, focused place to work. And... somewhere to retreat to when you'd just digested an entire evil apartment building's worth of toxins and you came home to find your girlfriend had bailed again for the week. Something about the Bats?

Pam preferred not to think about the Bats.

So she'd come home - to the shack, to here - early. And while she badly wanted to get back to her research, the ache in her body said no thank you.

The sign on the door said 'open'. Pam, herself, was inside, curled up on the sofa between the shelves, sipping some herbal tea she'd drawn for herself.

She really hoped this feeling would go away soon. There was work to do.

"Some time-wasting things are more informative than others," Jon said once everyone had settled. "Though occasionally veracity is...well, best proved by actual research."

He held up his phone, which was opened to Wikipedia. "Wikipedia is more or less an encyclopedia, but crowd-sourced. Which is to say, anybody can write anything, but they do their best to try and keep it factual. It's generally safe for casual knowledge, but real resource...as I said, best to check.

"One way to use it to waste time, though, is with looking at random pages. They have their own code, or you can use something like Wikiroulette. Just look up a random page, read it, click on links in it to take you to something related, and keep going however you like. When you get bored or run out of links, you can start again."

He went to another page. "There are also a few games you can play with it, like following a specific number link until you run out of links, or seeing how fast you can get from one article to another using links. It's a definite time-waster, and also potentially informative and really interesting."

If you were a nerd.

"So let's do that, and report anything really interesting you find."
