Who: Otter and Piper
Where: Those stands at the Liberty Inn
When: Afternoon

Otter hadn't particularly wanted the day off but his mother had been oddly persistent. He'd finally managed to convince her to at least let him have the morning shift with the thought that maybe he could keep going come noon. Hadn't worked too well when she'd shown up and shooed him outside. "And make sure that you do something fun. The garden's always there, fourth of July only comes once a year," she called after him, waving before disappearing back into the shop. It was busy today thanks to people actually feeling safe enough to be out and about. He hated going away when he could actually be useful, but he stuffed his hands into his pockets and shuffled along the streets, feeling oddly out of place with all the people.

The general flow he went along with dropped the teen off in the mess that was the Liberty Inn and all of the booths people'd set up. The bazaar that was always there, people showing off all sorts of things. Well maybe he could find a good potted plant if he looked around for long enough. Wish Sitala was here. But his spirit guide had flitted off and up a tree when Otter started wandering through Scarlet Oak proper, claiming that she wanted a nap and not to be bothered by a whole bunch of kids with sticky hands. Speaking of sticky hands... stopping by a vendor that had a glass case filled with the fluffy stuff, Otter shelled out a few bucks for a bag of cotton candy and started munching on it as he wandered the stands in an attempt to find something interesting to take home.

Who: Jackson and Michael (NPC)
Where: Casa De Lowell

Who: Hap and Maria
Where: Outside some random alley
When: Late afternoon

"AND IF I EVER CATCH YOU AROUND HER AGAIN, I SWEAR YOU WON'T LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO REGRET IT!" A teenage boy went stumbling out of the alley, eyes huge as he took one look behind him before bolting off. Hap stood there, glaring until the boy was gone before turning back to look at his daughter. "And you... you go home. I don't even want to talk to you right now, but you can bet that I will when I get home. And you'd better be there and if there's anyone in the house they'd best be someone who isn't touching you. Clear?" Denise did not even respond, just nodded with a sullen look in her eyes before whirling and stomping up. That was going to lead to a shouting match later but thankfully she was not going to face off with him in the street.

Rubbing a hand between his eyes, Hap leaned against the wall. This was the sort of thing that his wife had been good with. He was good with people naturally but dealing with Denise now that she had boys interested in her and actually went around making out with them? That, that was something that made Hap want to beat his head against a wall. If not for the fact that it was the fourth then he would have went home and knocked back half a bottle just to not deal with it right then. And then tell Deangelo the kid's name so he could go have a talk with him.

Who: Annabelle and Oliver
Where: the loft
When: morning

( Two kids playing together was totally different than two semi-adults making out. When one picked up their toys and went home, the pain of loss was more than just a lack of GI Joes and Transformers. )
