Repose

Lately, I am not 100% into celebrating the grand old US of A but July is still a nostalgic month for me. Something that I remember so fondly, catching lightning bugs with sticky watermelon soaked hands, trying to write words with sparkles, staying in the pool for 10 hours at a time and being shivering with near hypthermia when I got out, sleeping on the porch and listening to the peepers sing love songs to one another across the pond.

if you want a sweet treat, always remember I Scream.

This month, the special menu for July is:

1. The Rafe Treaty - A soft cheesecake icecream, with a coating of smashed up Jax. This one's a special concoction I created for someone disbelieving. It's amazing.

2. Cherry Pie - A vanilla and cherry base icecream with buttery pie crust pieces.

3. Firecracker - a lemonade, watermelon, and blueberry sherbert with chocolate-covered candy rock pieces.

4. Dragon floss and cotton candy - a mash-up of two pulled sugar treats. [Vegan]

5. Chocolate Chile - When you like your ice cream a little hot. This one is actually really refreshing on a hot day.

6. Fried dough and powder sugar. - Yep. That carnival favorite but in a universe of ice cream.


Special this month from Katiewhittleart Cute and Affordable!

[Today arrives the first kitty subscription box that Dante has signed his cat up for. The receipt shows that he'll be receiving a year of kitty treat boxes and that it comes with an account log-in as well so he can manage the gift subscription as Alex sees fit.


The same subscription - one year of kitty treat boxes with an account log-in for management - is sent to Leena's P.O. Box with a note that reads "For Isis".]

[A link is dropped to share her location on the map, watching it just a couple of seconds will reveal it's actively mapping her movement back towards town. There's even a little avatar replica of Dart - that’s moving quite quick - on the software. She's about 15mins outside of Repose.]

Come join the Vampyre masquerade before going to the party masquerade! RPG this Thursday night if anyone is interested. It's free! It's fun! You can dress in a costume! You can eat Funyuns and no one will judge!

Plus you can taste some of my flavors and tell me what you think about them!

I promised that I would keep you updated if I found anything and I also told you that I was a man of my word, so here we are. I didn't learn a lot but I did pick up a few things that might help us. Or they might make things all the more complicated, it's yet to be seen.

And how is the shoot going? Well, I hope.

[Dante Z.]
Hola. ¿Como estas durmiendo ahora? Sé que no necesito preocuparme por ti, pero espero que me hagas el humor de todos modos.

[Holly NW.]
Gracias for your assistance at the site, and for sharing your thoughts with me. I'm a stranger to you, more or less, so you didn't have to do that. I just wanted you to know that I appreciate it.

[Aubrey R.]
Hey, Sarge. Mind if I pick your brain for a minute?

[Audrey C.]
Hello, Audrey. I'm sure you're receiving a lot of random messages from people you don't recognise or remember, but hopefully you can tolerate one more. How are you?

[Encrypted Text: Leena]
Busy?

[Forum: Zee]
How's that big house and you?

[Text: Hector]
¡Hola papá! ¿Como estas?

[Encrypted Text: Georgia]
Got a system update that I'm gonna be pushing to the house security. When's a good time to do that?

[Added later — Forum: Dante’s Friends.]
From checking around looks like the big weekend with the Pride Parade in The Capital is gonna be June 20-21st, anyone who’s looking to head out with me: were we thinking of getting a hotel and staying out there a night or two? Going out each day? Picking one day over the other?

[Rafe J.]

I can't recall if I mentioned but I'm going to be out of town for most of the next month. I'm sure Zee will be fine, but all this is somewhat new to her, and I wouldn't hate knowing someone drops by occassionally, if you'd be willing.

[Separate locks to: Noah NW., Atticus M., Hannah S., Dante Z]

Leaving tomorrow for my next project; I'll be back first of July-ish.

[Audrey C.]

How are you feeling?

How against parties is this town?

Asking for a friend.

[Starting today D&D Automotive has taken out some advertising to introduce a new service line they’ll be offering. This advert can be seen in a local newspaper (if the town has one), in the appropriate online forum location, and as a sign/banner at the shop. It simply reads:

D&D Automotive will begin offering, on a commission basis, custom car build orders, custom build orders and special repair jobs beginning as of June 1st, 2020. We are capable of restoring classic cars, building cars from scratch to your specifications, converting fuel systems to biodiesel, converting cars to electric, redesigning interiors, building custom engines, rewiring the electrical systems, installing new rims or stereo systems, reconfiguring internal response systems and more! Got a wild idea? We'd love to hear it! If you have any questions for the sort of special repairs or custom builds available or an idea for something completely new please inquire with the shop for commission order availability and rates for custom build or repair requests. We can be reached at [Shop Phone] or [Shop Email] and will respond to all requests within 72hrs. Not feeling those? Swing on by and we’d be happy to chat.

This advertisement will remain posted/running in various local things until otherwise noted.]

Taste the Rainbow
Carrot Cake
Cream Puff
Strawberry frosted donut
Salted Ginger Mango

Those are the new I Scream flavors for June. I am ALWAYS looking for new ideas to taste test and also taste testers to experiment on. Let the flavors flow people! You can even whisper if you need to. I am listening!

Also, I just got in some wonderful new awesome things in the shop, Including these Vintage Horror Movie Tarot by a local artist! I'm in love with it. There are a few decks left, and come in full packs or just the major arcana. It's not too late!

Let me know if you are interested in a consignment of any handmade products that you think would do well with our spooky clientele.

To my Thursday group! We start a new campaign this week. Come with your character sheets already filled out. If you are interested in joining The Excelsior Thursday night RPG let me know. There's always ice cream and lots of laughs to be had.

What weekend is Pride in The Capital and who's heading out that way? Should we arrange a group thing? Carpooling? Party bus? I'm sure we can make the trip just as fun as the party out there.

Muchas gracias to you for keeping me in the loop, of course. Will you be visiting the hospital any time soon? I know Casey said they're not allowing non-family in but some hospitals are less strict about that than others.

[Dante Z.]
¿Cómo te sientes ahora? No pude evitar notar que te veías extremadamente cansado cuando estábamos todos reunidos en lo de Hugh.

Everything okay at work? I can come by for lunch if you want.
