He was alone. The landscape around him was empty, stretching out for miles on end. Loss permeated the air. Failure.

A skull tumbled from the sky and clipped his head, falling now at an angle, cracking against the rock. He looked up, and saw more. Bone, cascading down, femurs and tibias, ribs and hips, and skulls and skulls and skulls--

They buried him.

He was drowning.

He was alone.

( In which everything is fine. )

Anakin was back in the park, surrounded by stations.

The good news was that none of them looked messy.

The bad news was that his shirts this week were especially hideous.

"Today you will complete seven tasks," Anakin yelled through his megaphone. "When you touch a task envelope in any way, you must complete it before looking inside another envelope. Fastest wins! Listen for your names:

Stark
Steve R.
Vi
Hannibal
Henry
Steve M.
Jonathan
Aphra
Rey
Flint
Sairis."

It’s Wednesday. Be careful.

*chittering*

It doesn’t matter where I was last week I’m here now. Hush.

I’ve notes from the school to start, as usual. Coping With The Non-Modern World covered the importance of vaccinations. Those are important. We have them at the clinic. Whatever you might need, really. Sam Eagle Presents: Weird or Not Weird? had the eagle saying all parties here are weird.

Nothing from the dorms but a few notes from the town. The eagle probably thinks everything there, well, here, is weird as well.

Sairis was working at Liliana’s shop in a shirt from some of Anakin’s nonsense. Oh dear. Perhaps feed those to the chair? Remy was at Needful Things but I’m still not certain he works there with a sale on knives and Harley seemed pleased to see that he wasn’t dead.

Finally, it was a celebration of Duke’s birthday at Lucifer’s. Duke, Octavia, and Lucifer had dinner and then a discussion of various ways to celebrate and I don’t think we need to go into any more detail than that. Happy birthday, Duke.

That’s all I have from yesterday for today.

Sairis still wasn't sure about this "shenanigans" thing, but at least he got clothes out of it. He got nothing out of Monday's class (except for the experience of eating fried bugs).

So today he was wearing last week's shirt, even if it did look a bit odd with his medieval-style trousers and boots. It was clothing; you didn't sneer at free clothing.

His standard "charms available" sign was in the window, the artifacts were getting dusted, and the chair was getting side-eyed.

“I was unavoidably detained last week! I apologize. I was forced into a mandatory ‘team-building exercise’ with my coworkers elsewhere. It will not happen again!”

Mostly because Sam had instituted some anti-Muppet security measures that he hoped would save him from further Muppet activities. Sam might have forgotten about Wednesdays though. Oh well. He'd remember eventually.

“Now! My required team building activity involved a boat. We had to go on a boat. For a party!” Oh, the horror.

“Boat parties, of course, are quite weird! As are all ‘team-building activities.’” Did you know felt eagles could do airquotes with their wings? You did now!

“Some parties, of course, are not weird. Some are perfectly lovely occasions. You will not find those parties on this island. Here things are weird as we discussed in the first class!” In case you forgot that this was an odd place when you had a teacher literally made of felt talking to you right now.

“A non-weird party might have food and drink and respectable music that could be danced to appropriately. A party here would have…glitter.” Sam shuddered at the thought. “And inappropriate music! Wild dancing! Things would be loud! And unpleasant! Unless, of course, the party is one hosted by one Captain America who can, naturally, never be weird as he is all that is right and good.”

“Now! Let us discuss parties! What, to you, would make a good and not weird party?”

What up, Fandom? It's me, ya girl, Arden Finch, interrupting my day of lounging on the beach, hanging at the beach, and other beach-related activities, to bring you all the best news about yesterday that the squirrels could dig up or make up.

School started with Try Not To Die heading to Thailand where they got to pick flowers and eat bugs and I'm glad I spend my Mondays on the beach. Using metal detectors in Various Beach Things sounds like a much better way to spend an hour. Though maybe Let's Eat getting to try a tasting menu in a fancy Brazilian restaurant wins out overall.

Dorms were quiet as usual, but people were bustling about in Town. Dr. Isley shelved stuff and checked on her plants at Pick Your Poison, Officer McGarrett had the troopers go for a run around the island at the Trooper Station, the nurses interrogated Professor James about his whereabouts at the Clinic, and Mr. Northman forbade Mr. Tiny from making his own gin at Devil's Nest.

That's it for notes and I'm burning daylight, so I'll leave you with this super wayback hit, Summertime by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. Huh, that guy kinda looks like Will Smith. Weird. Anyway, this is ya girl, Arden Finch, signing off!

[I literally heard a teen say that the other week and instantly crumbled to dust]

Remy wasn't like. An official employee or anything. There'd been no paperwork, and even if he had been official, he'd probably have been fired for no-call/no-show months ago.

None of this was stopping him from showing up at the shop on Tuesday morning and getting set up to work there for the day.

Look. He'd always been breaking in here anyway. And, well, if the place was no longer run by Harley and now had someone who intended to run a real business in charge . . . well, they should get used to how this island tended to run. Which included strange men breaking into your place of business to run the till for the day.

So there.

Anyway. Needful Things was open. With a sale on antique knives. Because why not?

[yeah, open!]

"Right," Yennefer said. "One of you didn't know about this last week," week before last. Details, "so let's start with it: vaccines. Get them. A vaccine is when they poke you with a needle and then you don't die of--pick a plague, any plague, doesn't matter what plague you pick, they've probably got a vaccine for it. So pop on down to the clinic, tell them what world you're from, and let them come up with a schedule to catch you up on all the not-dying needles you need for that world and this one, hmm?" The clinic seemed to have...changed...somewhat since she had left the island, but surely they still offered vaccines. "Then when you go home you can be incredibly healthy and the envy of all your friends. No, I don't know how to get your friends vaccinated." Honestly, who worried about their friends dying of influenza? Not Yennefer, that was for sure, but then she wasn't sure Jaskier was aging anyway.

No, she hadn't just admitted Jaskier was her friend. Why did you think that?

"To answer your next question, no, I haven't the foggiest idea how the vaccines work. They seem to be science, whereas I could tell you all about it if they were magic. But they do work, so: get some. Are there any questions? I do hope not."

Quick note that post-by-email and comment-by-email is (sometimes?) failing silently without actually posting right now! I'm pretty sure this is related to last night's shenanigans and will be fixed once Mark can finish the full fix for it, which he's working on, but if you've posted or replied by email in the last 24 hours, fish it out of your sent folder to check if it posted!

EDIT: This should be fixed as of around 7AM EDT! We *believe* everything that was stuck in the plumbing has been sent along to your journal or the comment thread it was meant for; it's definitely not where it was stuck anymore, at least.

Welcome back to the beach! Here, take a metal detector!

"All right, we're playing with these bad boys today," Kitty greeted them. "These are metal detectors. They'll beep when they detect metal. Pretty self-explanatory. I've gone ahead and buried some things in the sand, so you have something to look for. There's also a little jackpot, so congratulations to whoever gets it!"

You better be good at this, Flint.

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to June! Somehow! I don't know, either.

Anyway, just one note today about Gregorith looking stuff up at the museum, because...

*chittering*

The squirrels were glitching? I've never been able to say "sounds fake but okay" seriously, so I guess thanks for that. Have a good day, guys, and here's hoping there's less glitching.

It was June, somehow. Where had May gone? ~~The Caribbean? More likely than you think!~~.

The rainbows were out in full force in the clinic today. Even the crab had decorated with rainbows. Stabby had also added some new postcards from the Bahamas, of beaches and crabs of course. Stark wasn't sure if they were from the lobsters, Stabby himself, or someone else endowment.

"I've got the usual coffees," he said, setting them down at the front desk.

"Where were you?" a nurse demanded.

"What?"

"You weren't here! So where were you? Did you send Stabby the postcards?"

"I didn't send any postcards! I wasn’t anywhere, really. Just... not here. Not kidnapped by raccoons either, " he added quickly.

The clinic was oo open and the alien was in and definitely not missing!

Hannibal greeted them at Portalocity cheerfully. "Today we'll be visiting Brazil. There's a restaurant called D.O.M. that I have been wanting to try. It has two Michelin stars and has consistently ranked among the top restaurants in the world. The chef is very highly regarded and curates a menu after intensive research and thought." Hannibal approved.

"We'll be enjoying the tasting menu, and won't know what it is until we get it, so this should be interesting."

Hannibal did enjoy the occasional surprise.

Eric was running behind tonight due to the time it took the sun to go down in June, but he owned the place and so it didn't really matter.

It was only when he came in that he remembered this meant Tiny was left unsupervised for longer and longer periods of time.

"No one wants you to be brewing your own gin," Eric told him.

Tiny rumbled a response.

"And no one wants a joint venture with the raccoon brewpub, either."

More rumbling.

"I don't care that their papers are updated."

The Devil's Nest was open! Skip the gin.

Steve was back in the Trooper Station with a lot of energy on a Monday, which meant the Troopers were out for a run.

The Troopers hated when Steve had a lot of energy.

"When you're all back, make sure you've taken the updated cybersecurity training," Steve said.

...the Troopers hated mandatory training more than they hated running, and that's why they were voluntarily doing another lap around the island while Steve caught up on emails.

The Trooper Station was open. Please have a crime.

Today your teachers were back with the bug spray and sunhats. "Make sure you hydrate today," Anakin said. "It's humid where you're heading."

"And crowded," Ahsoka added, which was the excuse for just how neon the sunhats were. "So make sure you don't get lost."

"Welcome to Thailand," Anakin said with a smile.

"More specifically Bangkok," Ahsoka said. "The capital and by far the largest city."

"You'll get to experience a lot of different things," Anakin said. "One of them should not be getting run over. Please look in all of the directions before stepping out anywhere."

"We'd prefer not to try to explain how we returned with less students than we started with."

"And there's paperwork," Anakin agreed, nodding.

And no one to push it off on, so please don't make them do any.

Good morning, Fandom! It's been a year or two since the dead last came back to Fandom, and obviously that can't stand.

Lo and behold, it's that time again. Sprung from a plot developed by

idontlooktired and originally conceptualized by

robinthefrog, it's Field of Dreams time from June 9th through June 14th!

( Copypasta of info overload! )

Where do I sign up?
There is an application form right down here, stolen, like much-but-not-all of this post, from our beloved

idontlooktired. (And/or our beloved

nookiepowered.)

If you're looking for someone to play a character for you, you can do so in the comments of an upcoming post.

APPLICATIONS CLOSE MONDAY JUNE 8TH AT MIDNIGHT PST!

If this is a different version of a character currently in game, have you checked in with the player?:
Are there any potential issues you see with the character showing up? (These will not necessarily prevent the character from getting in, it's just nice to know in advance. Deceased FH characters should definitely be mentioned here!):

The plants needed a check-up. That was the only reason Pam was here, really.

Well. That, and a moment outside of Gotham. There'd been stories about some monster crashing around Marshview, somehere - she hadn't been able to find it yet. But rumors did not come from nowhere, and humans did often see the shadows of things they didn't understand - even if they didn't know what cast those shadows.

So it was a pensive Pam who opened up Pick Your Poison that morning, going through each shelving unit to check on the plants next to the products.

Robby has managed to put in a temporary fix for the site errors and things failing to refresh or not showing up where they should! The permanent fix is going to need Mark's experience, and unfortunately -- seriously, this literally never fails -- Mark has been on an international flight all day, because of course he has. (Never. Fails. He and I are not allowed to both take vacation at once.)

The site will work just fine with the temporary fix in place, things just might be a little slow here and there. We'll keep you updated.

We're aware of site traffic issues and are working to fix them for the people who are having problems! (The tactics the damn bot traffic uses are endlessly shifting, and they're really good at looking like real traffic, sigh.)
