Open Thread Who: Peter & Open Where: Goods & Stuff When: At the end of Peter's morning shift What: IDK, Peter needs something to do. Maybe with someone he hasn't talked to/threaded with before?
Peter had had quite a successful morning on the ocean. He'd gotten reasonably skilled at summoning fish into the boat when he saw them swimming alongside. The trick was to target one specific fish, and not to use a general summoning charm which was liable to get you hit in the face by several too-large slippery things at once, which chances are would knock you either flat in the boat or over the side, which was never fun. By now, he could do it while also using the traditional Muggle methods of net and rod simultaneously. It wasn't easy by any means, and much more physical than sitting behind a desk at St Mungos, but on a clear day like this it was reasonably satisfying to spend a few hours on the water before docking the boat and levitating his catch up to the fish counter at Goods & Stuff. On a really good day he might even sell a couple of them.
When lunch time came, Peter yawned and shut the case, leaving the fish on ice for the next day. He thought this was probably not very good, but sometimes he didn't catch anything at all, and it was better to be prepared. He could always throw them away later if they started to smell. Still yawning - he had to get up quite early these days, to get his catch in before the shop opened - he tugged off his apron and ducked under the counter, ready to go home for a shower and quite possibly an afternoon nap.
