*47 repeats of It's Gonna Be Me*

I don't think that was entirely necessary, Leroy.

*chittering*

Well, maybe your repeated playing of that song has something to do with why you didn't find much news yesterday.

*chittering*

Well, other than Watts and Steven having lunch, of course. Do you have anything else?

*long, guilty silence*

I promise I won't tell Cara. That's it for today, everyone! Have a good weekend!

Well, I'm here, Leroy. Where are my notes?

There's no notes? Because nothing happened yesterday?

You have until the count of ten, Leroy.

One.

Two.

The children visiting always left Steven in a thoughtful mood. Hard not to ponder what their dads' lives were like. Steven didn't ask, of course. It wasn't the children's job to report on such things and dimensions had so much difference even when the changes seemed small it wasn't worth asking.

Still. Steven couldn't help but wonder what if?

Which made him glad for the distraction of work to keep his mind off of things.

He was behind the welcome desk if anyone needed him.

Good morning. Wednesday, again. Hopefully a more pleasant Wednesday than the last. If last Wednesday was pleasant for you…I don’t want to hear about it, thank you. Especially you, Leroy.

Today was quiet. It often is after these weeks and weekends. And there’s no classes at the school and there’s nothing from the dorms, sorry Porg. So, a few notes from the town.

Sairis was at the Infinite Consortium, where there was still a glowy skull on display and potions and charms on offer.

Bucky opened up the movie theatre with some movies with lots of blood. Jesse was drawn in by the bloody horror movies and…there was a small cat in the theatre, for some reason.

And finally Kitty was subjected to tales of Tino’s children before I arrived and…told her about my own impossible boy from the weekend.

That’s all I have from yesterday for today.

Grossly, Tino had apparently cleaned up last week, and then spent the weekend dealing with a kid from each of those people. So that was a fun thing to find out about!

No, actually, it wasn't, and Kitty wanted to go back to being the person she was before that.

Sairis had spent the early part of last week antsy and needy, and then had decided to head somewhere remote and meditate. Instead, when he'd gotten to the top floor of the dorms, he had been eaten by a metal cabinet that Google informed him was a locker and was not supposed to eat people. Apparently he'd missed his finals, but they mostly hadn't happened.

This place was strange.

Today, though, he was back at the shop. The glowy dragon-head thing was still in the window, but the sign next to it now read, Don't ask, I just like it.

Next to that was another sign: Potions and charms available: Calm, fertility or infertility, privacy available - others by request.

Sairis was spending his time looking up what that glowy dragon-head thing actually was, but he could answer other questions!

Hey there, Fandom. It's me, ya girl Arden Finch, and...it's always a lot quieter the day after the kids go home, isn't it? Yeah...

Well, anyway, there's no School and no Dorms to report, so just a bit of stuff from Town to share. Professor Vess was with her daughter at the Infinite Consortium playing go, at least until Sairis came in asking about...carnivorous metal cabinets? Ooookayyyy, then. Kids got to eat free at Pizza Planet, which my kids appreciated when we stopped by. So weird that there are no radio notes about that! What were you squirrels even doing? Professor James brought his son with him to the Clinic, which made the nurses all happy, and Rey was in Mr. Blackwood's Grove with their daughters getting them all sugared up before sending them home. There's a thick stack of notes here about everything that they got up to, but out of respect for their privacy, I'll just say that children were adorable and goodbyes were said.

And with that, I'm out of notes, so I'll be signing off. Take care island, and enjoy emlyn's god sent me a karma which may or may not be related to the weekend. Bye!

[Me, to my manager, LJ, last week: Hey, so I'm going to Vegas next week! Fly out on Tuesday. Her: Okay! :) My Client Lead to me, today: Hey, LJ told me to send along these two high-priority assignments to you. When do you think you can get them done by? Me: lol. I'm getting into the cab to the airport in 3 hours. Not today, my guy! As I told her last week.]

Right. The pollen was gone, the kids were gone, and Bucky was out of whisky. Time to take some kind of step.

Or several steps, all the way to the theater.

Maybe not a step. Maybe a vague olive branch.

(You could take a guy out of the intelligence community, but you couldn't take the urge to send out coded messages out of the guy, apparently.)

The movie theater was open. Come get your grindhouse.

Unsurprisingly, Rey loved having the girls around. It was one of the rare weekends like this that wasn't weird or kind of traumatic. Instead, it was just nice. There would definutely be things to think about, and the timing was definitely awkward for when they were supposed to go to Beltane, but... nice.

Also Hanna could maybe be a little more forthcoming about some of the Jedi stuff in her universe but whatever.

And knowing that their time together was coming to an end, that felt like a good excuse to sugar them up on cookies before send them off. Sorry, AU future Reys and Adrians.

"How many chocolate chips should they have?" Rey asked, kind of knowing the answer.

[For them and all the SP.]

Once again, Raiden didn't have any kids visiting this weekend. He figured that made sense, what with the being gay and not planning to reproduce in case the curse could be passed down anyway, but he liked kids, so it was kind of a bummer.

Oh, well. He'd suffered worse disappointments.

There were no classes but Stark still had a job to go to. Neri would much preferred to have slept in but Stark hadn't wanted to leave the boy alone and unsupervised. He'd eventually been bribed with the promise of coffee and donuts for breakfasts and pizza for lunch and cupcakes later.

The nurses exclaimed over the grey boy and set to spoiling him for the day. As if Stark wasn't doing a fine job of that already. He was a charming boy. Clearly got that from his mother.

Stark said a quick hello to Stabby and his crabster offspring who had returned for another year it seemed.

"Now. Tell us everything about your father," a nurse encouraged Neri. Stark just sighed.

The clinic was open and the crab and alien both had kids with them.

Happy Monday, everyone, and if you thought you were sleeping in for your first day of break week, uhhh no you're probably not. There's even a squirrel here drinking extra rum while I watch its super cute little baby squirrel!

There aren't many notes for the day, though. Stark brought his son to try the Skywalker sundae at Chilly Boulder- never something you'll regret- and Gregorith wasn't up on what's happening so he was researching the kid weekend at the museum. Sorry, that's usually one of the first things newbies get told.

That's all I've got. I'm assuming little baby squirrel here has something to do with it. Enjoy the time you have and I hope it's light on the trauma.

Well, today's shift hadn't started off with a movie about a baby dinosaur losing its mother, so already it was on better footing than the last time Irrim had accompanied Liliana to the store. Then Liliana had the brilliant idea to let Irrim choose what bit of merchandise to showcase in the display window today (thus eating up nearly a solid hour while the girl prowled the store in search for the perfect item), and, once that decision had been made, introducing her to the strategy game go. There was still plenty of time for it all to go south, but, for now, a tentative peace reigned.

She'd take it.

Orazca Relic
Because it's cool, that's why.

Irrim's reasoning behind her choice for display item was a little questionable, but her taste was flawless.

Gregorith had been initially puzzled when he hear the radio update. He didn't know Watts and Stephen had kids. Granted it was Stephen's prerogative to volunteer that information or not, but he hadn't struck Gregorith as the type to keep that a secret.

But then he thought he remembered something he'd seen in the museum's archives. Soon enough he found what he was looking for. Records of weekends past where possible future children found their way to the present. There were transcripts of radio broadcasts and some photos.

He chuckled ruefully at the shell shocked expressions on some of the future parents. He also thought of how weird it must have been for the kids, to meet their own parents when they were little more than kids themselves.

He counted himself lucky that he seemed to have been skipped over by this particular event, though part of him was a little sad as well. Just more proof that he was not likely to have a family of his own.

He put on some music and double checked that everything was child safe.

Stark hadn't slept much last night but Neri had eventually fallen asleep mid-sentence after chattering away into the wee hours. There had been pancakes for breakfast and more talking. The boy had stories. So many stories.

They were now seated at a table inside Chilly Boulder waiting for the Skywalker sundae that Neri had ordered.
He'd scoffed at the idea he might not be able to finish it. "Dad. Come on. I know how to eat. Especially ice cream. Especially chocolate!"

Considering the boy's apparent parentage Stark had to agree that a sweet tooth that would never be satisfied did seem incredibly likely.

Again? Really? Alright, alright. I suppose it's payback for being gone for a couple weeks.

Hello, folks. Tony again with the news from yesterday. Rey woke up with Adrian to meet their children. Which apparently no one had warned Adrian about. Oops! Vi and Steph also woke up to a very unimpressedkid. I think that might just be parenthood in a nutshell there. Liliana woke up to a particularly loud kid and Ignis got to discuss the changes between the last time she'd the kid had been around and now. Octavia on the Cape Rouge also had a visitor with mixed reactions of delight from Duke and surprise from Lucifer. Stark went to the Perk, but was also found by a kid of his. Welcome to the weekend for it. Watts and Steven had breakfast with their kids at Midnight Manor.

Well, that's a lot of kids for you. Try not to get too tired from it all, folks!

Several years on the island had given Watts a general idea of certain rhythms - which is why his and Steven's somewhat impulsive trip to Japan had concluded last night, in anticipation of certain little visitors this morning, or just attending their usual Saturday services at their synagogue if no such visitors showed.

Luckily for them, it ended up being Option A.

"All right," Watts said, once everyone- including Raphael, of course- was assembled in the kitchen. "We are now taking votes for what to have for breakfast."

Stark had gone to bed alone and woken up alone after spending all of last week alone. Now he was at the Perk alone.

All of this was to be expected.

His extremely sugary coffee order with extra whipped cream was also entirely expected. Stark had the coffee and he had a breakfast sandwich even though it was afternoon and he was just sitting, glad to be feeling less restless than he had been for the whole week.

It was shaping up to be a quiet, peaceful sort of day.

[the coffee shop is, of course, open to all and sundry]

Well, folks. It seems things are back to normal...ish. Don't be too surprised if you have a guest showing up sometime today or tomorrow. It's one of those weekends, folks.

Sorry, Steve.

But let's get this going so I can go back to helping out my husband, shall we?

At the school, Thor wisely cancelled the last Combat 101 class. Cupcakes of the World was also cancelled with Stark providing Gatorade and cupcakes to anyone who showed up. Very kind of him. Oh, and we watched a movie for our last class of Overcoming Obstacles.

The dance was remarkably quiet, but then again, I'm sure people were still occupied by the pollen. The squirrels did include that Arden and Cal had a great time of it at least. Over at Blackstone, Henry kept himself busy with forging horseshoes. I mean. It certainly is manual labor to ignore other things. I'll give him that much! Barnes had an evening in with what I'm assuming is quiet contemplation. Or brooding. The squirrels say brooding.

And with all that, I'm out of here. Try to have a good weekend, folks!
