Originally, this was going to be a much smaller event, but then Fandom had to be Fandom and Portalocity had to be Portalocity, and now Zoe was wondering if there would be enough food for everyone or if she'd have to get things from the local restaurants ( Read more... )

Oh, sweet, beautiful weekend. Jono had been looking forward to it all week, just so that he would have a proper excuse to make his way to the Groovy Tunes to go through the new music selection. A new single by Janet Jackson, an import of the Very Best of Art Garfunkel (UK Edition), a new album by The Doors (which would be coming home with him, ( Read more... )

Like so many weekends before it, the calm of a September Saturday morning was interrupted by the unscheduled opening of a portal in the park. This one sprang to life in a blaze of blue and gold and a burst of glitter before settling into something more stable ( Read more... )

April had hired an intern at Furnado, and today she was exploiting his unpaid hard work in order to get all her stuff packed up for her big move to Bloomington, Indiana.

Sitting at her desk at the shelter, she cradled her phone to her ear while typing up a job posting on Craigslist. "How many drawers are left?" she asked.

April had a band-aid over one cheek when she got to the bar today: Ben and Derek had booked her a last-minute portal so she could spend the day in Pawnee and they wound up playing roller derby, which April was not as gifted at as her boyfriends had expected she would be.

Anyway, that was her reason for not knowing that Something Was Up on Fandom ( Read more... )

April wasn't sure if it was here to be adopted or not, but there was definitely a loose bird in the shelter.

She called the animal control guys to see if they had had anything to do with either a weird prank or a late-night drop-off, but all she was getting was a busy signal. Way to go, 2014.

April had been missing a lot of shifts lately and she was starting to become vaguely worried that she was going to get fired. She knew that Saturday morning classes and Saturday evening bar shifts weren't a great combination, but she had to be at the shelter most weekdays now and the end result was that she spent most of her Saturday afternoons and ( Read more... )

A well-dressed woman strode into the store early in the morning with nothing in her hands and apparently nothing to say. She simply bypassed the front desk, stood off to the side, and waited ( Read more... )

With a few days left before the start of the new semester at community college, April was making the most of her vacation while it lasted... by doing animal shelter paperwork while behind the bar. It wasn't because it was overdue, either; she just wanted to get it done, and it wasn't that annoying to take care of. Plus, it gave her a reason not to ( Read more... )
