OPEN i don't have cool titles

WHO: wendy and you!
WHERE: lucky cat cafe, various places
WHEN: today and this month!
WHAT: wendy is showing off her new job skills (doubling as a catch all for this month)
WARNINGS: LUMBERJACK SHIT and other things

a: video

(when wendy turns on the device, she's in a place differing from her norms. it's not her room or the outdoors, it's the lucky cat cafe, her recent place of employment. she greets the camera with a big smile and points back to the open cafe behind her with her thumb.) Hey guys! My name's Wendy, I just started working at the Lucky Cat Cafe. Since it's summer now, we've got some new specials out to beat the heat. Presenting!

(she moves the camera down to show two beautiful bowls of shaved ice, one green and one red. the crisscross drizzle pattern of brown and white overlap perfectly to make it look like a plaid pattern.) It's Lumberjack Shaved Ice! It comes in strawberry and melon flavors, and there's chocolate and condensed milk on the top to make it look plaid, the best color ever. C'mon over and get one!

b: action; lucky cat cafe

(feel free to drop by the cafe any time after wendy makes her announcement. she's been working tirelessly to make new chocolate designs, many thanks to aunt cass' great teaching. since they aren't that great yet, wendy lets people sample them or take them a low price if they really want to buy more. they come in, though some more misshapen than others, axes, pine trees, and shooting stars.

if you happen to catch her making shaved ice instead, you'll notice she's been making them with startling precision. if there's one thing she knows by this point in her life, it's how to make a plaid pattern, even with her eyes closed. and sometimes, she does glance away to grab something, but even then, her arms move in the usual fashion and make the frosty treat as well as if she'd been staring at it.

she's not overly chatty by any means, but wendy's not so focused that she can't strike up a conversation with anyone who's got questions or a friend who's got some spare time to talk.)

c: pet shop; nonah

(if you happen to run into wendy when she's not at work, chances are she's been checking out a few pet shops around nonah. while most people would look at something like a kitten or a bunny or a hamster, wendy is look at the more... interesting animals.

namely reptiles. she's particularly enthralled by a few large snakes and a komodo dragon, things along those lines. everyone around her is getting or has had pets for a while, but wendy? well, it's high time she got one for herself, isn't it? she can't help but chuckle excitedly as the snake moves around in its cage, opening its mouth at her every now and then as she watches it move.) Dude, this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. And I'd get to feed it mice.

e: wildcard!

[Being that Maya is now neglecting her usual duties to help out Cass (much to her director's-- well, J.J. would like to be mad, but Cass is a lovely woman and J.J. can't fault Maya here), she's over at the Catfé more often. But that doesn't mean she doesn't still have a habit of showing up pretty much out of nowhere.]

Whoa! That really does look just like your shirt.

[she says, peering out from beside Wendy like a nosy cat.]

(wendy has dealt with far weirder things than people randomly showing up behind her, so she just reacts as though maya walked over normally and started up a conversation.) Plaid is hands down the best color, so I hoped I got it right.

[It's the shaved ice that's drawn Frisk to the cafe today, with the heat and humidity bearing down outside making Frisk wish very heartily they had something other than a sweater to wear.]

[* We COULD have gone looking for new clothes first, you know...]

[Anyway, Frisk steps inside and quickly trots over to the counter Wendy is working behind. Wiping a bit of sweat off their brow, Frisk waves to catch her attention.]

Um, how much G issit for th' Lumberjack ice?

(... little dude, you are wearing a sweater in the middle of summer, how are you still alive, you have too much determination. she leans over the counter with a smile after handing off another order.) Five bucks. We got strawberry and melon.

[Wendy, you have no idea how determined this kid is. No idea.]

[* Melon, I want it with melon!]

[Frisk nods, and digs in their pocket to pull out a fiver and slap it down.]

Melon, please! I never had a shaved ice with chocolate on b'fore!

Oh, dude, this stuff is gonna blow your mind. (she makes a sweeping gesture with her arm while speaking, all to make this more dramatic.) One melon Lumberjack special, comin' up. You okay with condensed milk, too? It makes it sweet.

Yes, please!

[They bounce on their heels a little, beaming and watching Wendy work with every indication of being utterly thrilled.]

Are you gonna do it with other flavors, too?

Nah, probably not. Just the two red and green, since those are the most common colors for flannel, the mascot clothing of lumberjacks. (she puts the last few lines of chocolate on the shaved ice, before handing it off to frisk with a smile.) There you go, little dude, one Melon Lumberjack special. Enjoy.

[Mabel spends about half of her time in Nonah, which means she knows where all the best pet supply stores are. You just never know when you're going to have to buy a toy for a new Dipper-provided cat! Or get Ken's hamster buddies a new wheel to run around in, or get bones for the dogs. There's a lot of animal-related business in Nonah.

It does not surprise her in the least to find Wendy praising that weird little snake cutie in the corner. She pops up behind Wendy with a pile of rawhide bones in her arms and a few flea collars hanging off her wrists.]

Can you hug it? Is it one of those hugging snakes?

I didn't really know it was a color!

[Maya grins. She likes people who can play along, so ever since the Cereal Debacle, she's had quite a respect for Wendy.]

How much?

[bc excuse me that is going in her mouth tyvm]

Aw, I think a yellow one would look cute!

[Frisk takes the shaved ice with a grin, wasting no time in chowing down on it. It's warm out, man!]

Mmm! It's good, thank you! [Frisk blinks, then glances behind them before stepping a little bit to the side. There's no one else waiting right now, but they don't want to hold anyone up by accident.] Are you a lumberjack?

It is, this is a fact, believe me. (this is actually something wendy is serious about.) Five bucks. It comes with chocolate drizzle and condensed milk drizzle. And it is the single best thing you will ever digest.

Hmmmm... maybe we could do like. Flavors of the week. I can talk to my boss about it. (wendy leans one arm on the counter and grins at frisk's satisfaction. happy customer is always a good thing!!

unless it's the mystery shack but that's different.) Yup, my whole family's lumberjacks. My dad had me join in these weird lumberjack games when I was a kid, actually. I've got axes and everything.

Sup, hambone. (a usual greeting, probably something she hasn't heard from soos in a long time. damn, where is that dude.

her eyes go wide at the term "hugging snake", and she just. slowly turns her head to look at mabel. then slowly back at the snake.) Uh. If by "hugging", you mean "can choke you to death."

[Ken's a few aisles over, where the rodents are kept away from the reptiles, but he does hear a familiar, cool voice and pops over to say hello! He has a few things in the basket he's holding: a tube of tennis balls, a couple bag of treats (Capsule and Koromaru like different things), a few toy mice for the cats, and new bedding for the hamster cage as well as a second water bottle. And lint roller refills. Like five of them. They live a very furry life in Nonah 5.]

Wendy?

[Aw, hambone. Mabel feels a momentary pang of sadness-- she's had to endure Gideon, why not Soos? But it passes quickly. There are, after all, more important things to focus on for now.]

Yeah, right, choke with love! [She presses her face against the tank.] What're you gonna name it? Do you think you can set up a bunch of tubes so it can wander around your room?

(she perks up at hearing her name and turns to find ken, greeting him with a smile in turn.) Hey, dude, what's up? Stocking up on your... I guess petting zoo by now? You guys must have loads of fun over there.

(meanwhile she still stares at snakes and lizards like those are some of the coolest beings created.)

(... she is just gonna remain silent and let mabel have this. this one thing. sure okay, snakes hug and not kill. mental note to never invite mabel over for feeding.) I dunno which one I'm gonna get, so I dunno about names yet. Something cool and deadly. But uh. Tubes are really more for hamsters.

But who says hamsters can have all the fun? I'm pretty sure the internet would say that snakes love tubes if we asked! [She will never remember to google this.] Plus we can borrow some of Ken's tubes before you buy any and test it out! We'd take the hamsters out first.

Yeah! You can do lemon an' blueberry, too! Or blue raspberry!

[* I thought we agreed to never speak of that hideous non-flavor again.]

[* (It's not that bad, Chara!)]

That's so cool! My family's all th' ambassadors for monsters. What kinda games are lumberjack games?

Oh-- hey!

That sounds like the shaved ice from back home!

[She's very quickly pulling a five dollar bill out of her shirt, because hell yes she's going to eat this.]

You got me. I'll take one.

Sweet. You want strawberry or melon? Always happy to give someone a little piece of home. (she's even gonna give you extra drizzle.)

I still don't get blue raspberry. It's just raspberry, why is the blue so important. (oh, consider her interest piqued at monsters.) Whoa, you have monsters in your world, too? And uh, lumberjack games are like climbing trees, chopping stuff, spitting contests.

The internet says a lot of things, Mabel. A lot of things. (wendy personally doesn't want her snake in tubes, it might never come out.) ... yeah, keep the hamsters away.

It's sort of like a petting zoo, yeah.

[He looks down at his armload and grins. He likes his furry party.]

What were you looking at?

Can we introduce it to the dog, though!? All the dogs. Meatsteak is really sweet and I promise I won't let him step on it!

--your snake could ride our roomba!

It makes it quirky!

[* UGH.]

Yeah! They all got outta th' Barrier just a...um, a month ago! They're real nice.

If I give you seven bucks, can I have both?

[don't judge her powers are directly food powered ok]

Nah, it's cool. I can do a mixed for regular price. I'm still using the same amount of syrup, anyway. I can give you extra drizzle, though. (which she's. already doing. hope you don't mind that, maya.)

Dude. That is bananas crazy. Your world sounds like it's own adventure. (TELL HER MORE.)

Uhhhhh. As long as I don't get a big one that can eat them, sure. I'd be more worried about small animals getting close to a huge snake.

... okay, but that is a really good idea.

I'd say charge for admission. You could make a killing. (wendy, you're not grunkle stan, stop doing that.)

I was looking at some of the snakes and lizards. Something like a komodo dragon would be pretty cool.

There would be a killing, honestly.

Not because of them. But the humans. [he shakes his head.]

Snakes are pretty cool. I had a friend who had one of those. She's still around.

Ehe! Um, it's pretty fun, I guess! I know almost alla th' monsters, an' Toriel's my mom an' she's soooo super smart, Dad asks her for help alla th' time! She's still kinda mad at him, but she still helps out. I think they're startin' t' get along a little better.

[Mind? No, Maya seems ecstatic.]

You're the best!

[She's bouncing on her toes in excitement, even.]

I know, dude. (despite her smug reply, she's grinning from ear to ear, more than glad to see maya happy.) Just don't get brain freeze.

(... that scenario sounds familiar. minus the parenting part.) Baby steps. Patching things up works out in the end, though. I mean, I think it'll work the same with monsters. One heck of a defense squad, I bet.

Really? Maybe she could give me some tips. It'd be pretty cool to take a lizard out on walks, though. Freak everyone out.

Oh.

No, I mean. She's the snake.

The snake is still here... the guy isn't.
