Something beautiful happens in this world [Open]

Who: Deputy Pratt and YOU!
What: Cake decorating, showing off his artistic prowess, shovel knight time
When: Later half of January
Where:Sand Dollars, the Library, Upper Deck
Warnings: None! (Well that's rare for him)


1. Sand Dollars
Pratt has completed his scientific research (having Sharky eat various cupcakes while naked) and has taken actual notes which are in the little notepad next to him while he sits at a table in Sand Dollars. He has one of the plastic trays from the buffet and has assembled a circle of cupcakes onto it to resemble a cake and is using a plastic butter knife to spread the frosting around so it looks like it's all one piece.

The wrappers from all of them are on the table nearby, along with some colorful other cupcakes that he's going to scoop the frosting off of in order to write out a message on this cake.

Yes, he is making the Captain a "Congrats on the Sex" cake. Sure it's been a few weeks but his memory is trash okay. He's trying.

2. The Library
Well, the binder is gone, which sucks because Pratt has already forgotten 80% of the contents. He assumes one of those people obsessed with blowing the place up stole it. So he will add his contribution to its recovery.

In its place is a Serena Eterna spiral notebook with a ship on the front, the ship is crossed out and instead there's a reproduction of Ryan's original cat drawing of Guatauva, but every page afterwards also has a cat drawing. He has faithfully recreated every cat internet meme he can think of. There's space above and below to make them into ship-centric memes. So have at.

His drawings look like this because I'm not going to draw 30 cat memes.

3. Deck
Pratt picked up the best package from home he's ever gotten. It was huge heavy and when he unwrapped it he squealed like a school girl because he's so damn excited. Friday is his favorite person for the next few hours because he has his shovel launcher now. Which is exactly what it sounds like, it is a rocket launcher, that shoots shovels.

He has a pile of shovels next to him, as he stands on the deck, aiming at the hull of the ship and then KUHTHUWNK the thing embeds itself into the metal siding and Pratt straight up cackles. Oh this is fantastic.

On the other side of him is his Christmas present he never opened which is 99 cans of Pabst in an absurdly long box and he's about to have the best day. Drink some beer, launch some shovels, spend way too long prying shovels out of the ship to do it again.

Montana's finest, right here.

4. Wildcard
Hit me with anything. He's always in the buffet or arcade or around the deck doing random patrols.

Mm. Well. [Since he asked.] I'd just need to keep it in some containers, expend some energy to it so it doesn't go bad. Then use it as needed. No pentagrams from you at all.

I actually "lost" [Cue an air-quotes gesture] my casting before I got here. More like someone took it, and I ended up here before I could get it back. Though I seriously doubt it was ever going to get returned to me anyway. So. Now here I am, with a lifetime of wasted career research.

[Says a kid. Hard to pin an age on him with that pallid complexion and dark-circled eyes, but he couldn't possibly be older than 20.]

[The clues click into place.] Wait, you mean like-- those deliveries people get? They sometimes get intangible shit like that back?! [Is it possible? Could there actually be some hope in his eyes?]

I have no idea what a sailor moon or an anime villain is, but uh, I think I catch your drift. Problem is, at least where I come from, either you can cast magic or you can't. There are very few instances in history of anyone without that spark of magic being able to do anything at all. It gets all fucked up, fizzles out, backfires. [Now if Theo only knew that his mentor was one of those hapless folks who managed it. He'd lose his mind.]

I dunno if it's just a-- "groove". [The more they talk about this, the faster his previous enthusiasm deflates.] I-I dunno if it was... locked, or removed entirely, I don't know how they did it. So I guess I'll keep checking the mail to see what shows up for me. I'll take just about whatever they'd give me.

[He looks away, looking angry, but not at Pratt.]

I-- I don't wanna get into it. Trust me, I would have if I could've.

[Don't trust him. He's lying. This kid is all murdered out.]

Besides, they're long gone, I'm long gone. I'm never seeing 'em again. So unless a magical package shows up for me here, I'm pretty fucked.

Yeah... been trying to occupy myself with anything, honestly. That's what I've been trying, anyway. [He gives the notebook he's holding a tap with a finger.] Been writing. And drawing. It's... something, I guess. It'll have to keep me occupied until my own shovel launcher shows up in the mail.
