So, originally, the plan had been for Karla, Warren, and all three children to show up at Fandom this weekend and do the whole reunion thing. They'd see old friends, show Nyles and Cora the island, and take a ridiculous number of pictures commemorating things that really didn't need to be commemorated. And then, last night, Cora had come into Karla ( Read more... )

It was new stock day at the shop, and all the really interesting stuff had come in today. Interesting, as in, snorkeling and spear fishing gear on the supply side, tropical fish on the tank side. Which meant that Jon was stocking shelves and getting salt water tanks replenished ( Read more... )

Jon had placed an order a few weeks back for some horseshoe crabs for Momoko, like he said he would.

And order for 2. Less than three, more than one. How someone got 20 out of two, was beyond him, but now he had 18 juvenile horseshoe crabs to find homes for.

So now there was a sign on the door:

Free Horseshoe crabs to good homesHey, the crabs ( Read more... )

The shop was open, the door was propped open with a sign and there was happy island music that could be heard faintly out to the beach across the road where Jon was fishing ( Read more... )

Today was a bad, bad day for Jon. A day where the cricket shipment had broken open, as did a wrong shipment of North American Green Tree Frogs. The result being a lot of happy frogs chasing after unhappy crickets and making a lot of noise.

The solution? Put up a sign that says
Free Tree Frogs!
Find one, and it's yours!

Jon had figured out what time of year it was last night when he had seen the prom goers at the community center while out for a walk. And he was trying not to be disappointed that he hadn't received any little visitors that morning because his player is on spring break and forgot due to dealing with family drahmah OMGIT'SMYVACATIONYOUFOOLS!!!!, and ( Read more... )

The weather today wasn't the best, but it wasn't horrible either. And since most of island was gone on Spring Break (boy did he miss spring break, maybe he'd head down to Mexico for a week or two soon...), opening the shop was mostly routine. So Jon was across the street from the shop, fishing. He wasn't catching anything, and he could probably ( Read more... )

Bo was waaaay too smart to fall for the "Tiny drank it, therefore it's safe" trap this time. Or she would have been, if Tiny were actually here and trying it out on her ( Read more... )

The thing about being a Eurekan transplanted to Fandom was, Vincent knew how to go with the flow. So while there had certainly been some shrieks upon waking up that morning to discover the alterations to his form, by the time he opened up the diner, he was back in his usual high spirits.

He was letting his NPC staff handle the cooking today, ( Read more... )

It was a tearful Elle who sat at a table, holding her toddler son in her lap.

"I just don't understand," she said to the cameras, looking dramatically pretty. "Why does he always have to be late? It's like he just doesn't care about us ( Read more... )
