This morning, everyone in the class had been sent a message.

Sometimes the distractions are too much. I'm not going out in this weather. Stay home.

Jon was cold, still emotionally sore from his conversation a few days ago with Liliana, and disinclined to go out in this. Enjoy a day off, class! Or do like your instructor and curl up in a ball under the covers and stay warm.

It might still be cold, and the snow might be a challenge (though still pretty), but the animals at the shelter still needed caring for.

He might not be afraid of dogs anymore but he found that he was still more of a cat person. Maybe it was the accoustics, but the cat room was so much quieter. Though the dogs seemed happier to see him.

When everything was cleaned and everyone was fed and watered, Caleb checked on one particular feline resident. There was a very frightened kitten he had decided to try to befriend. Last time it had spat, and hissed, and slapped at his hand (thank goodness he'd taken the precaution of wearing a thick glove). He'd kept his distance, just putting a bit of food nearer to it.

Today it didn't seem outwardly any friendlier but it didn't bat at him immediately when he reached in to change the bedding. He got some treats and once again placed them near the poor kid.

"I know darlin'." he said. "I'm sorry. But I promise, you're safe."

The shelter is open.

Good morning, all. This is Kitty, who had a little battle of wills with the squirrels because I didn't want to go out and I think they didn't want to go out, and anyway, I lost. Go, me. While I'm out, let's get through some notes!

In the dorms-

*porg*

-Saris was in the common room with breakfast and a book. In town, Gregorith braved the elements to get to the museum, and Stark had a snow day at JGOB, looking up warm places. Which might me what I spend most of my day doing.

Anyway, I'm done. Stay warm!

Okay, the snow? I could do without the snow. Let's just get this over with so I can continue to try dragging a Husky indoors when they don't want to be.

Hi. This is Tony Stark with... the bit of news from yesterday. Caleb attempted to make pizza in the dorms with Sairis stopping in to see what he was doing before they compared notes on musical instruments.

But that's all there is. Please stay warm, folks.

[helps if you hit post BEFORE going to shovel snow]

Even if he didn't have chores now, Sairis couldn't help but get up early. With no pigeons or garden to tend to, he went straight for breakfast. Bacon, eggs, and fried bread were comforting and familiar.

Since he was using what was apparently everybody's food, it only seemed right to make enough for anyone else who might come later, too.

Then he was sitting down with breakfast and tea and reading a book he'd gotten from the library. He only understood about half of it, but he thought he was at least getting an idea of how things worked.

[Open common room!]

It was cold and snowy and Stark did not enjoy winter weather at all. Still, he'd decided to drag himself out of his apartment because he hadn't left it since finishing his class on Friday and he wanted to at least make an effort to not hide away when he wasn't supposed to be somewhere for work or class.

The bakery was warm and inviting and he could have a warm drink and some still-warm cookies.

And he could watch the snow fall. It was pretty so long as he didn't have to feel it. Of course, he'd gone out and would have to go outside again to go back home.

For now he had tea and he had cookies and he had his phone out looking at places that might be warm. He almost certainly wouldn't go anywhere on a trip by himself but at least he could think warm thoughts?

[open, obvs. Baked goods for all.]

Neither rain nor snow nor cold of...cold, would keep this workaholic from his appointed rounds. He had the entire rest of the week off, he could only stand that for so long.

He was glad the island was small though.

But Gregorith was here, he had coffee and cocoa in case anyone else was adventurous enough to brave the elements and found their way here.

Current Music: Winter by Tori Amos

It was really, very, incredibly cold outside. Which was unfortunate for a number of reasons, one of them being that Caleb was feeling poorly, emotionally speaking and his usual remedy of going for a broody walk was, well not out of the question but seemed like it would be counter productive.

So instead, he was listening to the radio, as he attempted to make pizza. Well a few pizzas as the pre-made crusts only came in so many sizes.

The current music selection was actually doing a fairly good job at alleviating some of his angst.

Current Music: Gogol Bordello- Through the Roof n Underground

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to this radio broadcast. I hope you've all a cup of something hot to drink on this hideously cold morning. The squirrels have once again neglected to provide me with tea, but what do you expect from squirrels? Let's get started, hmm?

At the school, Overcoming Obstacles and Combat 101 both enjoyed a film, whilst Cupcakes of the World learned about the cake of the Black Forest. Chocolate and cherries, sounds lovely! I don't see anything from the dormitory, so we shall move along to the town, where at the Trooper Station, Detective Watts was joined by Mr. Grant for luncheon, whilst at the forge Mr. Henry of Skalitz considered expanding his repertoire. Dr. Quinn was at Needful Things, where they stock, allegedly, everything, and Miss Skywalker was breaking crystals at her warehouse--is that some type of slang? The squirrels do not know. Well, she was accompanied by Dean Skywalker, so he might. Speaking of Miss Skywalker, she made a sort of fort at her apartment, where she was joined by a fashionably late Mr. Blackwood. And that is the last of my notes, so I shall be dashing off to the dormitory to warm up. Farewell, everyone! May next week be warmer!

Well, there weren't any more bite suits in the classroom. Everyone be happy about that. No, instead, there was a little set up for a movie.

There was also popcorn! ...decidedly less popcorn than they'd arrived with, granted, but popcorn! (Shh, supersoldiers got snacky.) "We decided to give the dogs a break," Steve said, "and you a break from the dogs. They can be a lot."

"Also, Fee chewed through an entire door, so she's getting a little check up at the vet," Tony said like that a normal thing.

"She needs to stop doing that," Steve agreed.

"So, movie!" Tony said clapping his hands together.

"It's very educational," Steve assured them. (Steve had not seen this movie.)

Dr. Donald Blake had been called in for emergency surgery, and for some mysterious reason this meant Thor Odinson was unavailable to teach today, which meant the students would enter the Danger Shop to find a movie theater and a film cued up to start at the time class began. Enjoy your movie day!

Before any kind of laundry fun today, Rey was at the warehouse, practicing some fine detail work. She'd gotten some sugar crystals- not a lot, she didn't want to be wasteful- and had spread them across the floor, doing things like moving them into patterns, or picking up very specific ones one at a time.

She was now on the floor, very focused as she tried to split one of the crystals into two. If she could crack a big rock, she could crack something this small, it was just a matter of adjusting.

She would likely never need to use this, but you never know!

[open!]

Another Friday, another surprising success in Harley managing to be at her store on the day that she had technically established she would be.

She was also putting a new sign in the window:

NEEDFUL THINGS
WE'VE GOT EVERYTHING!!!

Which was definitely false advertising, but not as false as it could've been! They had all sorts of stuff! Furniture, knick knacks - what more did you need? Needful Things was open, and had a lot of stuff.

Just maybe not everything.

(open)

Fandom thought it was being funny.

Rey had gone down to the laundry room to wash her bedding. All was well. Then she came back down to take it out of the dryer, pulled out her sheets… then more sheets… a comforter that she hadn't put in there… more sheets… What had gone into the dryer was a perfectly normal amount of laundry, and what came out was a clown car's worth of bedding.

What she was left with was a ridiculous amount of things that had just appeared mixed in with her actual stuff, and it actually felt like less work to get it up to the second floor than to sort through it in the laundry room. So that's what she did. She got it to her apartment, looked at the mess and decided she really didn't want to put anything/everything away right now.

Instead, she ended up being inspired to pull her furniture together to create an extension to the dining room table, which she used to create a fort with the copies amounts of sheets and pillows and duvets she'd pulled out of the machine, until she ended up with the fluffiest, coziest pillow fort possible.

Then she took a picture and sent it to Adrian, with a text reading, If you're free tonight, dress comfortably. Sometimes you had to use the island's weirdness for good.

[For he who is named in the post!]

Apparently Henry really was doomed to make horseshoes for most of his shifts here. Oh well.

"Suppose there are worse things," he mused aloud to Mutt, as he watched the metal shift in color in the forge. "And if we get bored, we can always go back to swords. Or-- axes. Or a mace. You know, I don't think I've ever made a mace... only seen Father do it..."

Did that make it a good idea or a bad idea to try? Ah well.

[[ open ]]

The Station was eerily empty today, due to a deluge of calls regarding the garden gnomes and thefts, so all of the Troopers were out investigating (and secretly hoping to be the one to catch the gnomes in the act).

There was a part of Watts that kind of envied them, as he remained behind at the Station to take care of manning the phones and the like.

“Have any of you been to Germany?” Stark asked. They were meeting in the Home Ec room again, of course. “Today’s cupcakes are from Germany or at least like something you might find in Germany. Black Forest Cake. Black Forest cupcakes. The Black Forest, the Schwarzwäld, is in Germany. I think I said that right.” He hoped he had.

“Black Forest Cake has cherries. And chocolate. And Kirsch, which is alcohol that tastes of cherries because it’s made of cherries. The cherries have been soaking in kirsch overnight. There wouldn’t have been time to do that during class today.”

“Oh! I have a map today.” An actual paper world map that he’d stuck to the wall and stuck a gold star sticker on Australia and another on Germany. Stark pointed at said map. “There’s Australia for last week and Germany for this week.”

“So, we should bake. Or if you like you can just assemble. Or just eat some after I’ve finished putting them together? I have all the components here to put together if you like or you can try and make your own though you’ll likely need more time.” Of course, this was the last class of the day so there would be time for that.

“If you have questions, please ask. Or if you’ve anything to say about Germany or chocolate or cherries, please do…any of it.”

Hello everyone, it's Steve Rogers today with the news of yesterday. In classes, Liliana led her class through a discussion of blue mana, Don got us thinking about the weird Norse cow again, Belle was reading post-apocalyptic fiction, and Cinema Studies watched a movie about a super puma man. Liliana also held office hours and Jonathan came by with coffee, which also make office hours better.

*chittering*

Sure. In town, Steven was taking notes at the museum, Thor was serving beer, and Supper Club was back at a cozy Poe-themed pub. At the Magpie Emporium, Watts told Steph about his spring break plans somewhere tropical, and then Vi came by with breakfast for lunch.

And that's everything! See you in classes!

"There are more types of movie than just nature documentaries," Cara told the class once they'd arrived, which wasn't technically wrong.

"There are action movies," Jane said, trying and failing at not laughing at the movie on the docket today.

"With daring leads and thrilling fights." None of which would be in this film.

Yeah, there was Jane giving up on trying to look serious. "How did we find this again?"

"Library." So really, it wasn't either of their fault they'd picked it.

"That... actually makes sense," Jane settled on. "So, everyone relax and enjoy The Pumaman."

A cinematic wonder. Truly.

The castle had not survived and it seemed that the cardboard fort had been utilized to fashion a number of bizarre sculptures around the library.

Belle walked around, admiring the artwork, and then settled in to read about various apocalypse.

There were absolutely some post apocalyptic romances out there.

She was hoping no gremlins were feeling bitey.
