After classes had finally gotten out--and Sholeh had never been so glad to be released from classes before--she'd found herself with lots to think about. And a hand that hurt a lot, especially after having to climb the wall in Bootcamp. Rather than scurry back to her dorm and try to lose herself in a book as she usually did, Sholeh decided that a ( Read more... )

Valentine really didn't have much to do today, which was why she was mostly spending it at the shop, reading Twenty-Five Hues of Puce behind the counter ( Read more... )

Frank arrived at the store today only to discover that the entire place was freezing. Upon further investigation, he learned that this was actually a good thing, as there was an enormous pile of ice cream sandwiches somewhere in between office supplies and cosmetics.

And okay, so he had one or two himself... or three... but then he did the ( Read more... )

With consideration to the complications that went along with working at a shop when you didn't have hands, Valentine was feeling incredibly appreciative of having a tech-savvy friend and an AI system in her bedroom. She'd gone to Samus and Jarvis with the task of creating a voice recognition system for the register, for those days when you were ( Read more... )

Valentine was, admittedly, not too terribly surprised to wake up with four legs, a tail, and a distinctively equine quality about her that morning.

She worked on that after putting together a sign announcing ( Read more... )

It was only Valentine's second day running the shop, and already she could understand why Turtle had enjoyed it so much. It was sort of like being in control of some tiny little ecosystem, especially when you factored in the animals and the robots and Apu. Minute as the decisions may be, her choice to order more little animal soaps might have an ( Read more... )

After getting everything settled in her new apartment and crashing at the picnic to surprise a few people, Valentine was ready to come into the store today and see what kind of state things were left in. It really didn't surprise her to find out that most of the dirty work from getting things organized from a few owners ago had been taken care of ( Read more... )

Val's coming during Ender's first Parents' Weekend years ago had been an ambivalent affair, Ender not sure how far to trust her, Val not sure how far Ender would trust her ( Read more... )

With all the extra people coming in for the graduation, Samus decided to agree to coming into the general store to help Apu a little, though she doubted he would need her assistance as much as he made it out to be. She was pretty sure he was just a little overexcited because the cheese panda had thought it a good idea to try to make a cheese ( Read more... )
