Still. A Goddamn. SQUIRREL.

To say Summer was just a wee bit frustrated was a bit of an understatement. And it wasn't even that she minded being a squirrel. There actually were some benefits to being small and quick and nimble and generally not having any obligations because you were tiny and fluffy. But what she didn't like was the uncertainty of not knowing when she was going to be changing back. At least she wasn't the only straggler, by the sound of radio, and she supposed she could technically still teach her class today, but....yeah. If that didn't sound like a perfect recipe for exactly when she'd change back, she didn't know what did.

So most of her day was spent painstakingly putting together a text to the usual suspects who dared to darken the doorway of her class with as best a message as her little squirrel paws could type:

Stll squrrel'd. No class again ths weeeek. SORRY!!1!! hopefulli better luck nxt weeeek!!!1 <3 Summer


And then she went back to loafing around her apartment, starting to get pretty stir-crazy with the whole thing, and maybe thinking Fenris might have had a good idea after all with the idea of hunting down some mages and shaking them until a solution fell out.

[[yeah, I've been up since three am thanks to having to be at a meeting held at STUPID O'CLOCK, so squirrel summer still stands. post is definitely open now, since I am free. Frreeeeeee! With slight SP because, oh wait, there's still errands, yay ]]

Yeah. No.

Never let it be said that Summer Smith didn't have a good head on her shoulders. She knew what was up. She listened to radio. She knew that the multiverse was a sick fuck with a twisted-ass sense of humor. She knew she was just one in a wave of animal transformations that had seized the island this last week, and she noticed that an awful lot of the others in that wave were starting to turn back. She, much to her disappointment, hadn't yet, but she could only suspect her time was nearly up, which meant that she would be changing back at any moment, and if anyone thought for a second she'd let that happen when she was out and about and lacking clothes, well, then, they clearly didn't know Summer.

She wasn't going anywhere until she was back to normal.

She had texted Apu (which was an...long and arduous process, but she did it, dammit) to bring over some food and supplies for her, she had Netflix, she had comfy pillows, she had a small stick to use to shoo off Leroy if he thought it would be cute to bother her (seriously, someone around here finally gets a crush on her, and it's a goddamn radio squirrel??). She was set. If she needed anything, she'd just ask Apu, she had no reason to leave the safety of her own apartment until she was back to human, transformed in the privacy of her own home, with plenty of clothes within arm's reach.

She'd tempted fate more than enough this weekend, thank you very much.

Summer Smith definitely didn't get this far into her (okay, technically still pretty short) life without developing a high sense of when something a little weird was going down, and she'd had more than enough bad encounters to feel like it was probably a bad idea to give into the urge to head back out to the woods like she'd been feeling all week. Probably. If didn't necessarily feel like a bad idea, but she also didn't feel like she could entirely trust her feelings, either.

So that meant distractions. That meant putting on some loud music and maybe dealing with complaints later, but whatever. It meant maybe cleaning her kitchen. Or making some jello to bring to BDG on Sunday. Or make jello, then clean the kitchen. She thought about maybe dipping into her stash a little, too, ease off some of the weird feeling, but that didn't seem the best idea. If this turned out to be more than a feeling, she wouldn't want to have to be forced to deal with it while also being high.

Although maybe that would help...

...no. Music, jello, cleaning, and if that didn't help, maybe go out to Caritas for a drink and maybe see if anyone else was feeling it, too. For now, just jello, and trying not to wonder why she'd been thinking about Morty so much lately, and maybe popping into her phone every once in a while to check on a few feeds from home.

Everything seemed fine. It was fine. She was probably just antsy because she wasn't used to things being so calm and chill for any long stretch of time. No big deal...



[[toes open if'n you like, but the thread with a certain visitor's going to be last chronologically, yo ]]

All things considered, getting Summer moved into her new apartment wasn't all that difficult. There were plenty of boxes, sure, but it never really occurred to her until those boxes were stacked up in her empty new place that she honestly didn't have that much stuff. Not actual important stuff, because most of those boxes were literally just clothes and shoes. A few with books and other things, sure, one box of old kitchen stuff from her dad's old bachelor pad, but that was honestly about it. She probably could have managed getting all this up here herself, but it definitely had been easier and more fun with BDG's help.

Despite the sparcity of the place, though, it wasn't until they got those last boxes in that it hit her good and hard that this was her apartment. Her own place. No parents, grandparents, brothers, roommates, husbands, nada. It was just her, and this apartment was hers. And that was so freaking cool she could almost puke.

But she didn't, thankfully. It did need to be said, though, as she looked around at the blank rooms and the small towers of boxes.

"Man, I really need to get some furniture."


[[ for he who is mentioned in the moving, but definitely also open if anyone else wants to swing by and welcome the new neighbor! ]]
