Kitty had put a lot of thought into the party tonight, so she'd tried to give people conversation starters for the icebreaker party. So there were random decorative fish hanging from the ceiling. Just a nonsense thing people might comment on. And there were plenty of drinks!

SPECIALS
New Friend
Old Friend
Flirtini
Public Enemy #1

And upon arriving, everyone would be able to grab a pen and a bingo card, which had very simple instructions:

Find people who can check off the squares!
Write their names down, get a bingo!
Person with the most bingos gets their tab cleared for the night!

Come one, come all! Strike up some conversations! Make some friends! At least learn some names!

Stark had extra strong coffees for everyone at the clinic today on account of the time change. He, after all these years, did not understand the reasoning behind it.

"Extra caffeeine," he said, placing the drinks down. "In case it's needed." His, of course, also had excessive amounts of sugar.

"Everyone doing all right?"

The nurses mostly shrugged in acknowledgement. Stabby smacked his claws against the glass.

"He doesn't have a schedule to keep to and he still hates time changes," one nurse said.

The clinic was open but maybe kind of tired.

Some days, the store got historical artifacts on incalculable worth, like Kayla's music box or the Thran book. Other days, it got fascinating new magical puzzles and treasures that left her intrigued and mystified. Still other days, it received creepy clockwork dolls or hideous monsters with the heads of baby dolls.

And then there were days like today, when they got something that basically looked like...junk? Or, at least, something you could find at any toyshop in the US.

She stared at the ball, willed it to do anything interesting, and then stuck it in the display window. Perhaps some sports enthusiast would show up and take it off her hands.

When the students got to their simulations today, they'd each find themselves in a room with a simulated Kitty. Notably, there were also two microwaves set on tables, with a jug of milk atop each, and a task.kitty was holding a timer, which she started when they entered the room.

"You don't want to open the task yet," Kitty told them.

The class met this week at Portalocity again, this time to head out to a local butcher's shop in a lovely market.

"In future, we will be discussing how to cut meat," Hannibal began, "but there are any number of different meats you may encounter. Different cuts of different animals are useful for different things, and it's important to know how to make the most of them. And even given the overall qualities of a species, the flavor and texture of meat on an animal varies depending upon which part of the body it comes from. Also, different strains of species have different flavors, and their diet can make a very large difference." As did their frame of mind upon death, but that tended to distress people.

He led them toward the butchery to one side of the building. "I have arranged for the butchers to show you the various cuts of beef, pork, and lamb; where on the carcass they come from; and how to acquire them should you be performing your own butchery. Then we'll be moving to the stall next to it, which I have rented temporarily so that I can show you how the various cuts cook up. There won't be time for you to cook yourselves today, but I'll be feeding you. Provided you pay attention while I work." This was still, after all, a class.

Jon waved tiredly at the class. He'd reserved the Danger Shop for this period, but there was nothing in it so far; he was fiddling with the controls. "I, um. I apologize for last week. I got...well. Distracted." He cleared his throat. "I hope you all enjoyed Greece. That said, one of the things suggested to preserve focus is getting enough sleep. Which Daylight Saving Time does not help with. So."

He finally got it to do what he wanted, and around them appeared a...well, a sort of plush and padded cat tower, if the cats were human-sized. There were tunnels and cubbies and all kinds of places to hide. Or to climb around and play if you were so inclined.

"Today's class is for napping. If you don't feel like doing that, you can use it for exercise, which as we've discussed is also good for focus."

Just don't climb on him, please. He was going to be sleeping.

The kitten let him give it head scritches this morning, but balked at anything further than that. Caleb thought that might be the highlight of his shift but then he glanced into one of the other cats' cages and noticed a few extra occupants.

"Hey did y'all know this cat was pregnant?"

The vet tech paused in their own morning rounds. "She's pregnant?"

"Well not anymore, unless she ain't done yet."

Caleb had more work to do but was of course distracted by brand new kittens.

Morning, everybody. I don't know what time it is and it's still dark, so happy time change to us all.

Quiet day yesterday: Gregorith was dealing with a rogue butterfly at the museum, and Rey dropped Anakin's kids off after a trip with all of their limbs attached. Which is nothing I've asked a babysitter about but maybe I should.

That's all I've got. Have caffeine. Come to my party.

thatwaslucky

Rey had taken Juliet and Christopher home this weekend. It gave Anakin a break, and it gave her some opportunity to show them the galaxy, specifically Jedi-related parts of the galaxy. And to teach them some things. She felt like she didn't suck at teaching as much these days? Or maybe she just really didn't want to screw up her Master's kids and was trying harder.

She reached out to let Anakin know when they were back and headed to his house (as if he couldn't tell through the Force) and walked the kids up to the front door.

[For the owner of the house and children.]

It was far too not-cold a day to spend it indoors so Caleb decided it was high time he investigated the woods behind the school. Now he knew that unfamiliar forested areas could play tricks, both mundane and not, so he was doing so carefully. And with all his senses on high alert.

The death and rebirth of the Green no longer disturbed him when he looked at the world this way. He noted it, acknowledged it, even appreciated it, then it became a kind of white noise to be tuned out. He listened to the birds and scampering of critters and sensed nothing out of the ordinary.

Well maybe that racoon looked a little sketchy.

But nothing struck him as worrisome just yet, and he was confident that if anything shifted or changed to try to make him lost for instance, he would be able to catch it in time.

He turned to look at the school. It shone like a beacon to him and gave him another thing to help keep him oriented. Someday he'd need to try to get his senses used to the rest of the town so it wouldn't overwhelm him like on the first day. But for now this would do.

Then he was off on a short hike.

[Open if anyone is also getting a little stir crazy, but be aware that Caleb still has his "Other" sight on so he may get a glimpse of your magical nature or whatever, possibly even a death prophecy if you're interested, though he won't say anything.]

Gregorith went through the latter half of his routine at work without realizing there was a butterfly chilling on one of his horns, apparently unconcerned with it's resting place being so mobile.

It wasn't until he caught his reflection in one of the glass displays that he noticed.

"How long have you been there?"

He took a quick selfie to send back home before heading back to the butterfly room. Fortunately the insect did not make like a cat and make a break for it the second a phone's camera was put into use.

Good morning, everyone! It is I, Miss Lydia Bennet, here once again with the news of yesterday...today! Let's see what the squirrels bothered to take notice of this week, shall we?

At the school, Overcoming Obstacles was a 'free run' and Combat 101 learned about hitting people with sticks, whilst Cupcakes of the World(s) learned of the cupcakes of France. The French do do sweets particularly well, I shall give them that. In the town, Mrs. Pryde-Barton was posting announcements for a party on Tuesday at Caritas--I shall expect to see you all there!--and at the Trooper Station, Detective Watts found a raccoon under arrest...and thus ends my notes, so I shall away until next week, dear listeners!

Hello, everyone! This is Kitty on a different day, when more things seem to happen than on Sundays. What's up with that.

Anyway, at school, Philosophies of Mana went to somewhere called Kylem to talk about blue and white mana pairings, and Liliana stuck around in class a while before her office hours. And in the library, Belle was inspired by Arden's cleaning to do some herself.

And in town, Steph was at the Magpie Emporium where today was all about a cat rescue game, though Vi had her attention when she came in and they could get their flirt on.

That's all I've got! I'm throwing a party Sunday. You should come. I'll mention it again on Monday. I'll annoy you into it. Till then, bye!

There was a soggy-looking raccoon in the cells when Watts arrived this morning.

"Drunk and disorderly?" he asked Calvin.

"Mostly the second thing," Calvin confirmed. "Haven't figured out how to tell a drunk raccoon from a sober one, if I'm entirely honest."

You know what? Fair enough.

"Today we continue our exploration of various weapons with the staff. The staff has much to recommend it. It is versatile and unobtrusive. One can carry a walking stick even in modern times without being perceived as armed. It is not, however, the most lethal of weapons, although never count blunt force trauma out. Please watch this instructional video, and then try out some of the movements for yourselves."

Class today was outside! Because spring weather was springing and they could do that.

"Welcome back," Tony said. "We hope everyone had a nice vacation. I know I did."

Despite Hydra Island!

"The dogs missed us, though," Steve said, "and they have a lot of energy."

"Which means this will be a free run!" Tony added. "Please take the towels we provided. They will be muddy and they will want to play with you. I'm sorry."

Not as sorry as he and Steve would be in having to bathe all three dogs after this, but still.

Fee was already off, tearing through the park after a squirrel.

Kitty had spent the early art of her morning mocking up and printing up flyers, and she was going to spend the later part of her morning putting them up. Well. Not the whole later morning. The island wasn't that big.

ICEBREAKER PARTY
TUESDAY, MARCH 10 @ CARITAS

MEET NEW PEOPLE!
TALK TO OLD PEOPLE!
JUST TALK TO PEOPLE NOW THAT IT'S NOT FREEZING OUT

All right, if this did take her whole later morning doing this, it was because it wasn't freezing out.

Once again, cupcake class was meeting in the Home Ec room because that was where the ovens were.

“France today,” Stark said, pointing to the map. “I went there once, on a trip like last week’s but not exactly the same. They’re never exactly the same. I don’t remember ever seeing this sort of cupcake but there were things with the same flavors. There were lots of very good things to eat there. So many pastries…Pastries and very good butter and of course there’s the wine…”

A week of warmth and sun had done wonders for Stark but he was still going to wax nostalgic about trips and treats past.

“So. Today’s cupcakes are Monte Blanc cupcakes. A monte blanc is a french dessert but not usually a cupcake. There’s chestnuts, it’s very good. I think it is anyway. You may not agree. There’s some that I’ve already made for you to try, of course.”

They were not as pretty as the ones in the photos on the website but it was sometimes difficult to get the frosting to be tall.

“I’ve done some of the steps already or we wouldn’t have time but there’s time after class ends if anyone wants to try to do all of the steps yourselves. And…of course…you can just eat cupcakes if you’d rather.”

Arden had made such progress on spring cleaning yesterday that Belle felt compelled to contusion the task.

As soon as she finished picking up the pile of books that some gremlins (presumably) had knocked over before she arrived. And the pile of plastic building bricks. She really wished those would be strewn about les often!

Last week, Steph had ordered several copies of a game about cat rescue somewhat on a whim, because as an inveterate cat lover who happened to run a game store it seemed like the kind of thing she had to do. (Also because, well. Cats.)

She probably should have expected that as soon as she put them on the floor today, the copies she'd reserved for the in-store game library would have been the source of the most high-intensity play of any of the tables -- and that was with two tables booked by her most competitive wargaming nerd regulars and a mini TCG tournament going on.

Steph was seriously convinced that someone would end up flipping at least one table before the day was over, and it was not going to be by one of those groups.
