It was possible that the strange creatures that had invaded Fandom last week were still on everyone's mind when the Student Council had designed the decorations for Prom. Glittery cardboard animal-hybrid monsters awaited everyone as they arrived to the community center, and made their way inside along a blue and yellow carpet flanked by glowing, ( Read more... )

The shop was a mess. She wasn't sure how they'd gotten in, but there were dead goldfish laying around the ground and octopus ink on the top shelves, and a whole bunch of unidentifiable gunk and goo pretty much everywhere else. Half the stock was ruined and Kathy wasn't entirely sure whether the shop's insurance covered 'Acts of Fandom.' Though that ( Read more... )

Parker had decided that supervision was needed today, after various bouts of singing from the kitchen staff this week. Also, she wanted to see how they'd react to being stared at without her speaking for as long as possible.

Very nervously, it turned out.

There were nine different colleges and universities in the city of Baltimore, and several more in the surrounding county. Kathy had gone to the Baltimore Public Library that afternoon and gotten brochures for all of them, bringing them back to the island to browse through. She didn't know if she was actually going to go to one of these colleges. ( Read more... )

Kathy had come into the store today to discover that it filled with birds' nests. Tons of them, tucked away in corners, on shelves, under merchandise. All of the nests were filled with three or four pastel eggs in various colors and patterns, too. None of them looked remotely similar, even the ones in the same nests. Kathy wasn't a naturalist by ( Read more... )

It was spring and Kathy was furiously spring cleaning the shop. Shelves were getting scrubbed, merchandise dusted and rotated, edibles were having their expiration dates checked, and anything looking even the least bit worn, faded, or ragged was getting tossed into the bin immediately. Her speakers were blasting a black metal band that Lottie had ( Read more... )

Saint Patrick's day was this weekend and who was Kathy to turn down a theme when it was handed to her? She was making a display out of anything green or gold she could find in the store, including a sexy Leprechaun costume she'd found up on the second floor. And everywhere she was posting signs with glittery green letters that offered merchandise ( Read more... )

Kathy'd had a great idea talking to Dante the other week and had decided to come in over the weekend to start pricing out sex supply basics like lube, condoms, and dental dams, as well as trying to figure out what other potential items she could throw in for her 'Sex Care Crates ( Read more... )

Kathy looked down at the final number she'd come up with. There were four digits before the decimal point and that seemed a lot to spend on candy, even for a full month. She thought she'd done a good job at paring the list down, but could she really justify spending a thousand dollars on candy for a store that sold it mostly as a novelty item? Of ( Read more... )

Kathy, wearing a fetching top improvised out of a blanket, took shelter under the giant metal statue of a rooster outside of Dite's to avoid a shower of beads from the sky. Most of the necklaces didn't hurt when they landed, but some of the novelty ones had sharp edges that got tangled in her hair. No sooner did the plink plink plink of plastic on ( Read more... )
