Giant snake or no giant snake, the class of 2017 -- Anders included -- had graduated. And now he was squeezing in one last shift at the Magic Box before he headed off on a road trip with Dante. He hummed cheerfully to himself as he organized the shelves of herbs and swept the shop floor ( Read more... )

Anders hadn't thought to bring his daughters by the shop while they'd been in town over the weekend, and coming into work made him wish he had. Carys and Kate should have gotten kittens to take home.

Kathy wasn't a naturalist by ( Read more... )

Anders was still tired. Still sorting out everything he felt about the destruction in Limbo City two days before ( Read more... )

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Zack was dealing with the weird body-shift over weekend in his usual way: Pretend nothing had happened, everything was fine come hell or high water, and grin until people thought he was a maniac.

Only now he had another weapon in his arsenal.

Puppies.So he'd taken a few puppy playpens out and fastened them together, and ( Read more... )

Anders had missed enough work lately without calling in female, so here he was at the Magic Box today ( Read more... )

Kitty was absolutely confident that today would not involve the never ending stream of coffee at work.
