Fandom Library, Wednesday, July 24th

[afraid_of_marshmallows]

This time, the whispering of her name wasn't confined to the mycology section. And it was accompanied by the feeling of being watched. Overall, it was making for a very creepy shift.

Arden... the wind whispered as she scanned books for a gremlin apparently learning carpentry.

Arden... the pages of the books murmured as she shelved the returns.

Arden... the shelves groaned as she pulled a few novels for the office moose to deliver on her way to Shenanigans.

But it was when a pair of children's voices singsonged her name amidst spectral giggles that she'd decided she'd had enough.

"You know," she said conversationally to the air, though her drawl was thicker than usual, a good sign she was annoyed, "I haven't reported this to Mr. Constantine yet because I'm not a snitch, but y'all are pluckin' my last nerve right now. Sure would hate to see what he had to say about harassin' one of his minions."

There was a pregnant pause and then the sense of being watched faded. "And take those oversized mushrooms with you! This is a library, not a mushroom farm!"

Arden spent the rest of her shift in peace.

Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, July 24, 2024

[sith_happened]

When the poor schmucks Fandom arrived in the park on Wednesday, they would see four wooden rafts, big enough to each hold five people (or Muppets), bobbing on the pond. In the center of each raft was a metal bucket full of objects. Some were balloon-shaped, some were ball-shaped, others were clearly shoes. One looked suspiciously like Intern Porg, desperate for a news story.

"My thanks to Don and Jane for covering for me the last two weeks. We are doing something that didn't require much effort on my part to set up," Anakin said, which was pretty straight-forward of him. "We're doing a balloon-ish toss! Pick an object, toss it to your teammate on the next raft over. Do not miss, or break the object! Fastest team to get all the way around the circuit wins."

He grinned. "Powers may be used today. And there are plenty of objects in the buckets. No one says you have to only toss things at your own teammates."

Sometimes Anakin just liked to watch the world burn.

"Listen for your names!"
