Right, well there was only one thing of note happening yesterday, and the squirrels seem very enthused about it, so I'll be quick so they can get to...whatever it is they're planning on doing. Except for you, Leroy. I wouldn't recommend that.

In any event, Summer was hanging up flyers for the Purim party today, and Stark came by to ask questions about it.

I encourage you all to go, because I'm obliged to say that Summer's parties are...very festive.

...that was Daughter with "Party," and man does that take me back for some reason. Anyway, that's how you know it's Tuesday, Fandom, because who other than yours truly is going to be bringing you the dopest musical selections in all the land like an audio appetizer before we dig into the news of yesterday?

*chittering*

Sure, you could, Leroy, but I don't hear you actually doing it. Nice try. Next!

*trilling*

Aw, I didn't actually mean 'next' as in 'hand me the School notes,' but I'll take it, buddy, thanks. You're the best, intern porg.

*rimshot*

Hey, no, I'm serious! Anyway, Life Skills covered party planning, Practical Wilderness Survival shared personal survival stories, and Sensory Deprivation Combat Training talked about how to use your sense of smell during a fight, which is... not one people think about as often, I guess, but hey. I am making a note of this right now.

On the subject of notes, there are none for the Dorms, but there are, of course, a whole bunch for Town, such as Eddie getting double jumpscared at the Fire Station, first by a fake snake and then, oh god, an actual literal real one. Yeah, dude, no judgment on the screaming there. Gah. The gremlins at the best game store ever, where I brought Vi lunch, were probably using the werewolf game they were playing as an excuse to chomp on each other. I will stand by this hypothesis. Summer had, like, all the Spaghetti-Os ever at Turtle and Canary, and why isn't as important as the fact that she took this as a cue to look up recipes. Do what you will with this information. Prompto had a visit from the alarmingly regular camera-breaking customer at the Photo Hut, which he told Liz about when she brought Noctra down for a lunchtime visit.

Raiden had a sliiiiiiiiiiiiiightly early Purim-themed bunch of Pizza Planet specials, Steve from the Trooper Station was giving a shoplifter... can we call that constructive criticism? Sure, let's go with that. Over at Furnado Sakaki was trying to cook a potato for a cat. Like you do, because raw potatoes are super not cat-friendly, and now maybe you've learned something today. You're welcome. Rosa was transcribing radio notes again at Diaz & Ass., AKA the best-named business in town, and Connor was texting home from the Museum desk which I can tell you because squirrels aren't great with boundaries.

*indignant chittering*

What are you gonna do, deny that? Uh huh.

Nell was at Covent Garden Flowers doing some experimenttal flower arranging, and that was a pretty quiet day, but you know what wasn't quiet? Caritas, where Jane has not quit, hahaha sorry not sorry, Tino. Stark came to catch up with Jane, and so did Anakin, who got to hear about Jane trending on Twitter and you know what, I don't even need to know the details to feel justified in saying oof, I'm so sorry, Jane. Shunsui wanted to know if Jane needed any assistance doing inventory in the back, which, you know what, gotta hand it to you for just going for it, man. If nothing else. Rey also caught up with Jane, and Raiden showed up with pizza hamantaschen and found out about the Purim party going on in the back room, which is the real pièce de résistance of the night, let's be real.

Obviously Summer was there, obviously, because she is the undisputed party queen of the island. She was really glad to see that Stark made it, leather pants and fancy mask and all... and there's glitter everywhere in here and Leroy is sulking, just so you all know. Amaya tried to sell Stark on taking up archery, and Steven gave Stark one of the Purim gift bags he's been handing out, which by the way, dude, thank you so much, it was awesome. Watts explained to Stark why he was dressed up like Moses and gave him suggestions on what foods to try first. Shunsui showed up, much to Summer's predictable disgust. Anakin got totally razzed by Summer for wearing his usual robes, and explained to Stark that he just came to the bar and didn't realize there was a party. Sooooooooomeone missed all the posters, I see. Amaya's costume involved a totally badass new bow that she was not trying to market. Really. Watts assured Summer he would be sampling the broad wine selection because obviously, and was thoroughly adorkable with Steven about Steven's fake costume beard.

Gladio -- was there in a gladiator costume so anyone who was worried about him missing out on shirtless Monday can stop worrying. Summer was definitely reassured by this, and Stark talked to him about the classes he's been teaching the last couple of terms. Jon noted that Gladio made a pun into a costume. That's honestly some kind of superpower, arguably. Steven, who was dressed as Noah, was thrilled by what Summer pulled off on short notice... my dude. Surely you did not doubt her. He gave Connor a gift bag and they compared vacation notes. Rosa had the exact same cowboy hat as the mechanical bull, which Summer decided meant they had to throw down.

Raiden brought in his coincidentally theme-appropriate snacks, and was saddened to learn that Summer didn't know what hamantaschen were before this week, but that's fixed now so it's okay, right? Stark awkwarded at Raiden, who was happy to see him, and Connor was all decked out if not exactly in costume. No, Leroy, 'geek' is not a costume, how dare you. Anyway, Summer pointed him toward the wine and Watts assured him costumes were optional. As if to underscore that point Arthur was all dressed up but not in costume, and Summer told him that she mostly threw the party to prove to Steven that she could do it on short notice. Steven told Arthur about his trip to Toronto, and Jon made an appearance in costume.

And finally, in the Clinic report and Crab Lore Update, even Stabby was all dressed up for the party, because he somehow knew about it. How, Stark wondered? Hey, man, let a crab keep his secrets.

Looks like that's it for today, so until next week, this is Steph, signing off. Later, Fandom!
