Sand everywhere...

[Video]

[The broom finished sweeping the rest of the sand over the threshold and out into the street before Eagle addressed the network. ]

Does anyone know the reason why there is so much sand in the City? It was fun at first with that beach party and all but now I am really beginning to get concerned about it.
Now matter how many times I sweep out this shoppe the sand seems to return.

[A slight drizzle of sand from above catches Eagle’s attention and he steps back into the doorway of Geo’s Sweet Shoppe just as the sign above his head completes it’s transformation into sand and crashes to earth right where he had been standing. ]

Ah!
The sign just…

Is that where all it is coming from, objects are actually turning into sand? Has anyone else had something like this happen?



[Action - Shopping later in the day]

[The Commander looked through the racks of clothing that claimed to be spring fashions for 2012. What were people thinking? ]

Too flashy…
[Green School Boy - Rejected ]

Too strange…
[Hat with Poof - Rejected ]

Too… just too…
[Men’s Dress - Rejected ]

Hmm, but this in nice.
[Attractive Blue and White - Possibility ]

And this is definitely different than your usual color choices.
[Cute Pink - Possibility ]

[Eagle stops looking through the racks and looks over his shoulder to see how Lantis is doing. ]

Have you found anything you like?

Our coffee maker turned into sand. Which... talk about blasphemy. But never fear, we got a new one that's still all plastic and chrome-y and good with the coffee making and the eventual caffeination that comes with the coffee making.

[eagleofautozam]

The coffee maker did?

[Eagle would never be very bothered about the loss of a coffee maker... now if the teapot suddenly turned to sand it truly would be a tragedy! ]

My sign and our coffee maker, there really doesn't seem to be very much of a pattern to this. Have you noticed this happening very often to things?

[ voice ]

[the_dawnster]

[He has something to compare it to then!]

Not all that often, really. But I'm not always miss observant girl when it comes to things and not people. Now if people started turning to sand, that'd be all creeptastic and noticeable.

[ voice ]

[eagleofautozam]

That is certainly a good thing! I would much rather loose objects than people.

The last time something like this happened an entire communications tower turned to sand, I haven't noticed any buildings changing to sand either but...

[He is concerned about it. ]

[ voice ]

[the_dawnster]

I hope between my people thing and your building thing that we aren't unwittingly jinxing us all. Cause I've been the one to do the jinxy thing before and it's never a good feeling being that person in the group. Even if jinx is a fun word to say sometimes.

[ voice ]

[eagleofautozam]

I don't believe in jinxes. I believe we all make our our luck. If anything like what we were talking about actually does happen we will just have to locate the source of the problem and find a way to solve it.

[ voice ]

[the_dawnster]

Oh I believe in them. I believe in lots of things cause if I ever said I didn't believe in them then poof, they'd prove themselves to be real. That's just how things happen. But I'm with you on the finding a way to solve whatever comes our way. I'm all about the problem solving. Although I'm afraid I don't have a way to save your sign from being all sandy.

[Lantis looks up from where he's...having a lot of trouble figuring out these clothes.]

...They're all so different.

[eagleofautozam]

There really are a lot of strange fashions. I think...

[Eagle just goes over and pulls out a simple t-shirt and a pair of jeans. It is the kind of outfit he has seen so many people in the city wearing. ]

...just trying on something simple like this might be best?

[antipillar]

I think so.

[Lantis takes the clothes and goes to head towards the changing area.]

[eagleofautozam]

[And Eagle just goes back to perusing through the racks of clothes until Lantis decides if that suits him or not. They really did have such strange things here!]

[antipillar]

[Lantis comes out wearing the clothes because he's decided that Eagle will be a better judge over whether or not this will look good.]

Eagle?

[eagleofautozam]

[At the summons Eagle walks over to Lantis. ]

It looks very nice on you!

[He reaches up to readjust the collar just a little. They do wear these folded over instead of straight on the neck like the old turtle neck Lantis is more used to. ]

Do you like it? Does it feel alright?

The ceiling of my apartment caved in.

[eagleofautozam]

How terrible! Was anyone hurt when that happened?

video:

[charring]

No, nut...I ended up with an unexpected and unwanted guest for a bit.

[eagleofautozam]

The poor house guest must have been just as surprised as you were.

That has to be a bad sign if even the buildings are beginning to change into sand.

video: fff my typo. why did i just notice it? *facepalm*

[charring]

I'm expecting something horrific to come of all this.

video: *pats* Typos happen

[eagleofautozam]

Were you around to see the communications tower collapse into sand? I really hope this will not turn into an incident like that.

[deathstrumpcard]

..What are you going to do about the sign?

[eagleofautozam]

I suppose I will have to order a new one... It is unlikely I would be able to fix this one.

Do you think I should give the shoppe a new name at the same time? Since I have to order a new sign anyway, I might change the name of this place too.

[deathstrumpcard]

Well...it's your shop now, right? Might as well show it in the name too.

[eagleofautozam]

Maybe. I'm not sure I will use my name for it either.

It should be something catchy that says 'candy store'. Maybe you can think of something?

[deathstrumpcard]

Don't know how far my creativity goes, but I'll give it some thought.

[eagleofautozam]

It is alright. I will listen to any suggestions you might come up with.

[Because renaming the shoppe is something of a sudden notion and he really has no idea what kind of name would best fit it. ]
