Sitting On The Shelf - Marcus White x Reader

Part 31 - Spring Cleaning

SOTS Masterlist

"Okay, let's give a warm first-day welcome to our newest employee, Bo Thompson." It was far too early for Glenn's joyous tone, though when was it not? The loud claps that resounded around the break room didn't help either.

"I can't believe Glenn actually hired Bo." Amy scoffed, her cup of coffee muffling the already whispers words, loud enough that only you could hear. "Bo who staged a shooting to propose to Cheyenne, Bo who then ran away at the thought of having a baby with Cheyenne and we had to hunt him down, Bo who-"

"Yeah I get the idea, Ames." Folding your arm across your chest, you turned in your chair to face the man who was slipping out of his chair to stand and introduce himself to the people in the break room. You other hand held your cup of coffee in front of your lips, the steam heating your face and keeping you warm. "But Glenn's all about expanding his cloud 9 family. I'm more surprised he didn't do it sooner."

"What's up?" Bo's shirt had an all-too explicit cartoon penis on it, attached to a hand and being held up as a middle finger. The image was only accentuated by a big red circle and thunder bolts surrounding it, the word 'off' in big, black block letters beneath it.

"Who apparently wasn't filled in about the dress code." Very clearly so.

"Why does his middle finger look so weird?" Mateo asked, staring intently at the shirt and trying to figure out what exactly was wrong with the image, the realisation dawning on him as soon as he'd asked the question aloud. "Oh, it's a penis. Ha, clever."

At the stark silence that settled over the break room, Cheyenne looked up at Bo, squeezing her juice box between two hands and fiddling with the cardboard flaps. "Bo, maybe you should change."

"Change into what?" Bo sassed, his hands flying to his sides in an over exaggerated shrug. "Where am I supposed to find another shirt?"

Jonah let out a sigh, your attention turning to him as he ran a hand over his face in frustration. He looked oddly tired, by Jonah standards, and you were beginning to worry that he hasn't been taking care of himself, a series of unusual break room appearances beginning to get to you. "We work in a store."

"Okay, moving on. Uh, today, we're gonna be spring cleaning, which is gonna be buckets of fun." Glenn had barely got his words out, holding the bucket beside him up for everyone to see, before Jonah was letting laughter slip past his lips.

Something was definitely wrong, you were sure of it. Jonah's laugh was forced and scratchy, and as the attention of the break room moved to him, his face paled. "What? That's that was funny."

"No, it wasn't." Garrett deadpanned, staring down Jonah who was shifting anxiously under his gaze.

"Literally nobody laughed, except for you." Staying out of the drama for a change, you let the debate ensue, watching it play out of the brim of your cup of coffee.

"It's barely even wordplay. He just said buckets, and held up a bucket." Even Dina was intervening to comment of the absurdity of Jonah's laughter, and not unlike usual she was right. It had barely been wordplay, and if it warranted any laugh at all, it would have been a delirious, sleepy or sick one.

"It's called prop comedy, Dina."

"You're just kissing up to him, 'cause you're dating his daughter." Mateo had assessed the situation and hit the nail on the head, Jonah's face and neck flushing red and quickly coming to defend himself against the accusation.

"That's not true at all." He shuffled in his seat under the intense stares of everyone on him, and Glenn's upset and confused one. Stumbling to an explanation, he attempted to hide the older man from the truth. "In fact, just this morning, Kristen said she respects how much I don't kiss up."

"Where did you see Kristen this morning?" The question was innocent enough at face value, but the truth would destroy Glenn and told Jonah he'd already said too much.

"Hmm? We uh, met for breakfast."

"Wait, I'm confused, 'cause it's 6:30 right now. So does that mean you got up and drove from your house, and she got up and drove from her house to meet for breakfast before 6:00 a.m.?" If you didn't know Glenn, you'd have assumed he was tormenting Jonah for the stupidity of his answer; unfortunately, that was not the case. The older man was genuinely under the belief that that was what had happened, and if Jonah could pull the right moves, he'd have Glenn convinced.

"That's what happened." Jonah himself didn't sound like he believed it, but Glenn, ever the sweetheart, took Jonah's word as truth and was willing to run with it.

"And what restaurant is open at, like, 4:00 in the morning?" Any asked, egging on Jonah's web of lies as she stirred the pot and attempted to get him to catch himself out.

Jonah only allowed himself a second to think before blurting out the first (plausible) idea that came to mind. "It was a gas station."

"Gas station breakfast usually starts at 6:00. Was this BP or Mobil?" Dina knew far too much about gas stations for you liking; but it was perfectly enough right now to catch Jonah in his lie. Not that you wanted him to feel the 'wrath' of Glenn, but the face he pulled was sure to be funny.

"Oh, I don't, I don't remember."

Bo suddenly stood from his seat, the screeching of chair legs against the tiled floor turning everyone's attention to the newcomer. "Nah, fools, they're banging. You know what I'm saying?"

"You know what?" You whispered your question to Amy who acknowledged it with a hum, watching a Jonah's face paled at Bo's reveal. "I think I could get used to having Bo around. That was awesome."

Bo began miming the action he'd just exposed, a look of appall filling Glenn's features. "He's getting a little breakfast action. Yeah."

————————————————————————

Employees had been divided in cleaning squads all across the store, people leaving the break room with armfuls of buckets and bleach, yellow rubber gloves and replacement mouse traps. If you could use it to clean, someone was holding it.

Thankfully, you'd managed to convince Glenn to let you clean around the store with Amy and Garrett, not wanting to take Marcus upon his offer to join him in warehouse. Despite knowing it would mean you could lazily work through the days cleaning at your doting boyfriends side, you didn't like the idea of having to work in the warehouse: heavy lifting and a raccoon infestation not your idea of a good day at work.

You'd taken up your usual post sitting on the customer service desks counter top, sifting through stacks of paperwork that you probably should've filed a long time ago. Jonah was stood at your side, leaning with his back to Amy and Garrett as he stared down Glenn, anxious to talk to him again after the events in the break room this morning.

"Wow, someone just never picked up their photos." Turning your head slightly to the right, you looked at the thick stack of photos Amy was holding, trying to catch a glimpse as to what they could contain. "What do we do? Do we just toss them?"

"Uh, well, first, we look for any naked pictures, and I will be doing that." Garrett plucked the prints from Amy's hands, quickly flicking through them. "Dressed, dressed..."

"I love finding stuff left in the photo lab, man." Leaning your head back, you brought one of your knees up and held it against your chest, the other hanging over the edge of the countertop. "There's always something interesting. Yeah, sure, it's not always something I wanted to see, but it's always interesting."

Any grimaced at your words, though you didn't see, returning to categorising the paperwork you had saddled yourself up with to aid in Glenn's 'spring cleaning' efforts.

"Hey, Glenn." Jonah had suddenly perked up from his silent position as he waved to the older man from across the aisle, Glenn simply pulling a face as ignoring him in response.

"Do you feel good about how that just went?" Amy asked,having just as you had, seen the whole interaction between the two gone down. Glenn had a hard time lying about how he felt to anyone; Jonah had an even harder time knowing people weren't impressed, overwhelmed and maybe even slightly intimidated by him.

"I don't get it." Jonah let out a deep sigh, arms folded across his chest as he turned to face the three of you. Glenn's dismissal had clearly gotten to him, and knowing Jonah it would take turning that dismissal into utter bewilderment to feel good about himself again. "Normally, my girlfriends' dads love me. I still keep in touch with most of them. I just took Naomi's Dad to a train museum."

"Jonah, relax. Glenn likes you." Amy chastised turning back to her pile of things to work through before Jonah inevitably interrupted her again.

"Yeah, but he doesn't seemed jazzed, you know. I want him I want him to be jazzed." Jonah was eventuating every word with an almost violent shake of his hands, nervousness running through his entirety.

Reaching out across the countertop to him, you pushed his hands together between your own, trapping them and stopping their movement. At the stillness, you let them go, leaning back to your original position and picking up a new pile of paperwork to look through. "Just stop trying so hard, J. Glenn clearly likes you, he just doesn't like that you're dating his daughter. Give him some time."

"Yeah. Eventually, he'll be, I'm not gonna say jazzed. He's, he's gonna be fine with it." Amy reaffirmed, the pair of you trying to reboots Jonah's confidence before it was too crushed.

"Does that look like a piece of a butt to you guys?" Garrett held up one of the left-behind photos, having been sifting through the pile while the three of you conversed in search of the naked pictures he coveted so.

"There's a lot of butts on the Internet." Jonah teased,  leaning against the desk as he spoke to the man. "Have you tried looking there?"

"It's too easy. I like the hunt." Garrett dismissed, returning to sifting through the photos for something showing, or someone naked - the only true gems of the photo labs leftovers.

"It'll be okay, J. Go speak to Glenn, I'm sure you'll figure things out." Smoothing down his cloud 9 vest, you gently pushed him away, sending him off in the direction Glenn had previously left in.

You didn't doubt that Jonah would figure things out, even if he had to do so in his own Jonah way - things would be resolved - and before you'd know it he'd be back to his usual self.

"I feel like I know this girl. Or maybe she worked here." Amy divided the stack of photos she had been looking through, handing a half to Garrett and another half to you.

"Oh, yeah, she does look familiar. I was just focused on the neck down before, so..."

Scoffing at Garrett's comment, you made your own, eyes trained on the picture as you scanned over the woman's very familiar face. "I know her from somewhere. Like, I must have seen her everyday, kind of know her. You know?"

"Hey, Tate, do you recognize this girl?" Amy asked, stopping the pharmacist as he walked past the group of you. Tate walked up to the side of the counter, encasing you between his arms as he stared down at the photos you were holding. "Like, maybe she worked here in the last ten years or something."

"Hmm. Oh, yeah, was the the one on Fluoxetine? No. That was Carol." Thankfully, Tate's looming presence didn't last long as he pushed himself away from the counter in thought. "Oh, maybe lithium. No. No, that was also Carol. Yeah, Carol is what we in the medical profession call a cuckoo."

"You can just say no."

"Yeah, no, I don't know her. Ooh, hey, let me know when you need, uh, refills on that skin stuff." As Tate turned to continue his journey whenever he was headed, he turned back to you, his most charming smile crossing his face. "And let me know if you need a good time, gorgeous."

Not surprising coming from Tate, however, you'd been hoping that today would be the day you managed to escape his flirtations.

"I'm good, Tate. Besides, you do know I have a boyfriend, right?" You words sounded nice enough, however, you were trying to get on Tate's nerves, push his buttons as he had always pushed yours. Tate didn't seem to believe you, his smile not fading at the statement. "Marcus? You know, from Warehouse."

"Marcus?" Tate gasped, not quite believing the words that had come from your mouth. "Like, Marcus Marcus?"

"Did you not hear?" Garrett reaffirmed your point to Tate, breaking away from his handful of photographs to address the pharmacist. "It was a whole thing."

"Well, I'll be damned." Tate scoffed, hands tucked deep into the pockets of his white pharmaceutical coat as he began to leave once again. "It's always the nice guys who come last, huh."

After he was out of sight, you turned to face your companions, making eye contact with Amy that had the two of you bursting out in laughter at the absurdity of it all. With any hope, the day would get better from here.

————————————————————————

Garrett had supplied your investigation with a laptop and a folder filled with employee records, searching each feminine-sounding name you came across into an employee database on search of your mysterious photo-leaver. So far, your search had been less then successful.

"Okay, try Veronica Harris." Amy scanned her finger across the page, reading aloud what she saw and hoping that it would be the girl you were searching for. "She quit in 2011."

"Veronica Harris. Oh, no, it's definitely not Veronica." The girl you were seeing on the screen was far different from the one in the image, your chance at finding her decreasing majorly with every failed enquiry.

"Oh, Veronica." Amy fawned at the image that flashed up on the screen, reminiscing on times she had worked with the girl across the years, at last putting a face to the name she knew was familiar. "How is she doing?"

"Prison."

"What? Another one went to prison?" You asked, looking up from the meticulous filing you were still working through, deciding to only tune into Amy and Garrett's research until you finished working through the paperwork you'd found this morning.

"Yeah, we're kind of a feeder."

"Ugh, okay, umm, try Robin Sanders." Amy flickered through the grey folder of previous employee that sat on the countertop in-front of her, desperate to put a name to the face she knew, that she knew. And you and Garett knew too.

You winced as the image came up, gasps elicited from Amy and Garret at a Robin that looked very different from the last time you saw her. "Not Robin. Meth hit her hard."

"God, why do people do it?"

"My guess?" You asked, picking up a handful of of paperwork and slipping it into a folder pocket. "It feels incredible."

Amy and Garrett shared a slightly disturbed look, before continuing their, ultimately, fruitless search into the mysterious, but not-so, stranger.

————————————————————————

"Well, this has escalated."

Though you couldn't quite place when, or how, you'd ended up in the break room, you had; tucked into one of the couches in the back corner of the room as Amy pieced together an array of pictures and red sharpie.

Her spider diagram would've confused anyone outside the three of you - saying that, you weren't even entirely sure you knew what Amy was making - but you knew she was trying her hardest to figure out exactly who this woman was.

"I, I just feel like there's gotta be something that tells us who she is, like a stack of mail with an address on it, or, or, or, or like a a car with a license plate, and we can run the plate."

"Okay, explain to me the process by which we would run a plate." Garrett was trying, and failing, to stifle his laughter, amused and bewildered by Amy's ambition in relation to solving this case.

"We would call someone on the force." It was a wild suggestion, but not entirely impossible, yet still outlandish enough that you wouldn't consider it beyond the break room.

"The force?" Raising your eyebrows at Amy quizzically, you folded your arms across your chest, shuffling into the comfort of the sofa as you looked at her eccentric display.

"Yes, that is what people call it." Amy herself didn't seem sure that there were people who referred to it as 'the force,' but she felt as though she was too far in to back out now.

"Look, I am all for wasting time on useless activities, but this is entering Carol territory."

"I agree, Ames. I'm a sucker for a do-nothing day, but this? This is getting to be too much."

"Look at that kitchen, guys. That's like a, a million dollar kitchen." Amy made a good point. The kitchen was far too beautiful for someone who had worked at cloud 9, and as far as you were aware, this woman had. Something just didn't add up. "Aren't you the least bit curious about how someone who used to work here ended up in a house like that?"

"Is that a solid oak table? " Garrett's question had caught you off guard, however, the mention of the detail had you observing the photos even closer. No cloud 9 employee could ever afford a solid oak table. "Looks like a solid oak table."

"And a French press." You muttered your observation into the shared quiet of the otherwise abandoned break room, a wicked smile curling onto Amy's lips as she managed to reinvest you and Garrett in her cause.

"That is a French press! Do you know how much disposable time you need to make French press coffee?" Amy shook her hands, her hands resting on her hips as she stared up at the whiteboard. "Too much."

"We're gonna need to make these a lot bigger." Garrett concluded, picking up the prints that had yet to be pinned to the red-sharpie covered investigation, and placing them in his lap; headed for the photo lab to blow up the images for closer observation.

"While you guys go and get those made bigger, I'm gonna run some of these prints by warehouse, see if they know anything."

Your ruse was not a good one, but you still snatched three photos from the top of the pile to support your claim. Garrett saw right through you. "You just want to go and see Marcus."

"No." It was no use trying to lie to the pair, both of them knowing you all too well. "Yes. I'll meet you back here in 20?"

————————————————————————

"Marcus!" You sang as you pushed past the warehouse doors and into uncharted territory; so far in your cloud 9 career, in every instance of you being in the warehouse, you'd injured yourself or entered it upset. The fact you were quite joyfully skipping through the back space left only one option left that you were determined to avoid. "Marcus, sweetheart! Where are you?"

"Here." The voice you recognised all too well startled you into a fall, that was luckily stopped by your boyfriends large hands grabbing onto your waist and steadying you against him. "We've got to stop meeting like this, angel."

You stared up at the brunette before quickly standing on the tips of your toes and daringly pressing a kiss to his chapped lips. The peck of your lips against his had Marcus's lips chasing after you own as you pulled away, a frown settling on his face as you pushed a single finger against his lips.

Letting your arms hang loosely over his shoulders, you allowed your eyes to run across his broad chest before meeting his eyes once again. Catching you off guard, Marcus pressed the kiss he so desired against your lips, holding you lip locked until you needed to break away for air. "So what brings you to the warehouse today, angel?"

"Well, I did have a question to ask some of the guys, but I'm so over it now."

"What? Why?"

Wrapping your arms around Marcus's neck you pulled him into another kiss, lazily slanting your lips against his own. With a squeeze to his bicep that elicited a gasp, you slipped your tongue past his lips, escalating the kiss more then your previous ones had. As Marcus went to pull away, you successfully chased after him, pressing a series of feather-light kissed against his mouth with a wide smile.

"How long do you have?"

Looking at the imaginary watch that supposedly adorned your wrist, you decided you probably had 15 minutes until you needed to be back into the break room with answers from the warehouse guys. "15 minutes. I'm all yours, sweets."

Marcus pulled you with him, taking you to a secluded workbench at the back of the warehouse, where he helped you lift yourself onto of the counter, the added height making you face to face. "15 minutes? I can work with that."

The photos that were stuffed haphazardly into your back pocket could wait.

———————————————————————-

"Aww, look at Jonah!" You'd only just arrived back from your trip to the warehouse, late, red faced and with tousled hair, and hadn't expected to see the brunette in the break room - let alone all dolled up in his cloud covered tie.

"11 Mississippi, 12 Mississippi, 13. Uh, he says to count to 13. He likes it more as a slurry." Jonah held up the cloud 9 brand mug that he'd just poured sugar into; the drink now more sugar then coffee.

"What has Glenn done to you?" Placing down your handful of photos onto the table Jonah stood beside, you turned him to face you, inspecting the back and front of his tie and assessing his face. Somehow, he looked even more tired then this morning and seemed itching to go home and get said tie off of him.

"So as his assistant, do you have to wear the tie?" The smile on Garrett's face was wide and unmoving as he stared Jonah down, completely bemused by the tie Jonah had been forced into wearing.

"Uh, no. He, he said it, it, it makes it easier for the two of us to play pranks?" It was an odd reason, but a very Glenn reason at that. Pulling Jonah's tie down, you then pushed it back up, tightening it and making it more presentable against his button up shirt.

"Well, on the bright side, he's now good and jazzed, yeah?" Amy offered in an attempt to aid Jonah's distress. He'd clearly achieved his goal, but to an extent that was beginning to appear uncomfortable for him.

"I just love the tie. It makes me so happy."

"Glad to hear that." Jonah thanked through a tightlipped smile.

"So are you his assistant now forever?" You asked, still fiddling with the cloud-brandished tie, your attention captivated by the the clouds against the blue background. Despite the fact you'd seen Glenn wear the tie almost every single day, it was different seeing it on Jonah; made you actually want to look at it.

"No, no no no, just like, until Kristen and I break up." Ouch. The thought of being Glenn's assistant day in and day out was unappealing, to you, to say the least, and if it was Jonah's job on the basis he was dating Kristen, you imagined it would only speed up the process.

"But what happens if you guys get married?" Amy teased, Jonah stilling at the thought of being stuck as Glenn's assistant forever.

"Oh, well, then well, then, uh I guess until Glenn dies."

"The tie just makes me so happy, man." Garrett was overly whimsical at this point, encapsulated by the tie Jonah adorned and how stupid he looked with it. "I mean, it's like you're a little, tiny businessman."

Jonah left the break room with a sigh, Garrett's smile even then taking a moment longer to fade. The blown up images were quick to be stuck against the whiteboard, red sharpie connecting them and connotations them with ideas and potential leads.

"So, are we allowed to ask why you look like that?" Garrett tested the waters, his question enough to have you flushed red in embarrassment.

"I didn't have sex in the warehouse, if that's what you're asking."

Garrett only stifled a laugh at your answer, trying not to bother you more then his first comment had. So far, with your now blown up images, and your 'second opinion' from the guys in warehouse, you'd been able to confirm practically nothing more. Except for one background feature throughout the photos that may have been your lead to solving everything.

"Okay, that tree outside the window it's a sycamore tree." Garrett had cross referenced the image and then cross referenced it again, double-checking and making sure that the image in fact was of a sycamore tree.

"Great, now all we need to know is where sycamore trees grow." Amy scrawled something down onto the image in her red sharpie, only adding to the chaos that the whiteboard was quickly becoming.

"Okay, sycamores they grow in the Southern parts of Missouri." You informed the group, having began your research on your phone as Garrett held the same laptop from earlier. Amy sped to write down the information, hoping it would give you a good precedent to find the girl you knew that you knew.

"Large swaths of the Eastern Seaboard. There's no sycamores on the West Coast." Garrett added, eyes scanning across a Wikipedia page detailing everything you could ever dream over about sycamore trees. "Except for Washington state. And there's a large group of them in Australia."

"We got nothing." Amy let out a defeated sigh, scribbling across the blown up image of the stupid tree in frustration. "I just don't get it. Where do we know her from?"

And just like that, the three of you were back to square one, with no information, and no knowledge of why you recognised this woman. With a deep sigh, you threw yourself back against the old couch cushions, resigning to the fact that you probably would never truly know who this woman was.

"I give up."

————————————————————————

The three of you had resigned in your search, having managed to waste the day away in search of your mysterious ex-employee in the comfort of the break room.

"I don't feel like it was a total waste of a day." You argued, breaking the silence that was shared between the three of you as you headed towards the store entrance, ready to go home. "I feel like we really learnt something along the way."

"And what would that be, doll?" Garrett asked, looking up at you confused by the proclamation. It wasn't difficult to argue that it had been a total waste of a day, so he was genuinely interested in what you possibly learned from the day.

"We'd make some mean stalkers, or like, secret agents." Garrett burst out laughing at the explanation, but nodded in agreement; the extents you had gone to today to try and solve the mystery of the woman in the photos was big, it was a surprise you'd come up with nothing.

"Even if we never find out who she is, isn't it nice to know that at least one person who worked here didn't end up on drugs, or in prison, or fused to a couch?" Amy mused, looking up at the ceiling of the store as she seemed far away in thought, dwelling on how you'd all spent your day.

"Mmm, the future is bright."

"Yep, I can smell the French press coffee now."

"Eh, why wait?" Garrett asked, stopping you and Amy as he turned to face you with a bright smile. "Don't we sell one of those French presses here in the store?"

Amy seemed to be struck with a genius thought, practically running away from you and Garrett in the direction of the French press display. Maybe she just really wanted that French press, in a sudden change of heart?

As you finally caught up with her, she pointed to the large display posters the rested behind the French presses, and practically every display within the store. "She's a Cloud 9 model."

"Yep." A whole days worth of work solved if you stood on the store floor for more then 10 seconds, the mysterious brunette woman you all recognised before you at last. "You still want to pick up the French press?"

"Nope."

"You know, I do think I have seen that woman naked, though." Garrett added as you left the display behind and headed back for the store entrance, the day finally over, and your mystery solved as well.

"You think you've seen everyone naked, Gare."

As you parted from Garrett and Amy in the parking lot, you bumped into a red faced Jonah, this time without the cloud covered tie, leaning against the side of the building.

"Oh, hey, J! Did you speak to Glenn?"

"Kind of, but I think he's okay with it. He's got Eugene now anyway so..." And so the tie had been passed on, without Jonah and Kristen breaking up, and without Glenn dying - an event you were sure would have to have one of said events as the beginning of the landslide.

"Ouch! Replaced already? I'd be hurt." You placed a hand over your heart in feigned pain, trying your best to eliciting some kind of laugh or smile after the seemingly shitty day he had had.

"Oh I am, deeply, devastatingly so." He cracked a smile at the remark, making you feel as though you could move on with your day without worry. Waving goodbye to Jonah, you made your wave over to the door-less car in the far corner of the parking lot, your favourite brunette sat inside.

"Hey, you. You ready to get out of here?" With a nod, Marcus started up the car, headed for you apartment where you planned on wasting the night away with some takeout, tv and your frog, Gerald. What a night it would be.

[slashedthroughtheheart]

The boy behind the wall Pt. 2

She managed to quietly close the door to the basement she’d found, and slowly snuck her way back to the kitchen, putting her long forgotten empty glass in the sink and made her way to the front door just as it opened with a very vexed looking Mrs. Thompson at it. “Oh, there you are. Your fath-uncle is here.” She didn’t dwell on the slip up, and Layla didn’t point it out in any way either.

“I was just coming to check if it was him. Guess I lost track of time daydreaming and dozed off. Sorry about that!” She did her best to hide behind a sheepish smile, hoping that her lie was good enough and any face she might be pulling would be easily chalked up to embarrassment at ‘falling asleep’ at the kitchen table.

Mrs. Thompson seemed to readily accept this answer, shaking her head briskly. “No matter, but you better get a move on, your uncle seems to have places he wants to be, since he’s still got the truck running.”

And with that, she moved to the side and Layla scampered past her, stomach doing flip flops as she brushed by the older woman.

She felt cold inside, trying to figure out how anyone could treat someone else like that.

They didn’t stay long after she left the house, having bound down the steps as well as she could, making her way over to the passenger side of the truck her uncle was in, leaning towards his window, talking with Mr. Thompson.

They said their goodbyes, and her uncle reversed before heading off their property.

He asked how it was helping out around the farm, and she gave a non-committal shrug. His eyebrow quirked at this.

She knew her uncle to be a kind man, he loved his wife, loved his younger brother who was her father. It was a shame that they had gotten a nice big ranch with a big house only to find out he and his wife just couldn’t have children. They loved kids though, and loved her unequivocally.

So upon seeing his usually very talkative niece being aloof set off a warning bell in him, like the tornado warnings. It wasn’t right.

Before he could probe about the shift, she asked her own question.

“Do the Thompson’s have any children?”

At this he pauses, his first response was going to be no before an almost forgotten image of seeing Mrs. Thompson round with child popped into his head from a time long ago when he’d ran into her in town. She’d been so happy back then.

The Thompson’s were never the same after she lost the child during birth.

It was a very hush hush topic, never brought up in polite company, and not talked about except behind closed doors.

He made a low noise in his throat. “Well, not exactly. They were supposed to, but years and years ago they lost the baby she was going to have. It was tragic, and they’ve not been the same since, especially not Evelyn. She went from being happy and full of life to having a very… uh… tight lipped way of dealing with anyone.” He glanced over at her from the side before returning his attention back to the road.

“Did they… did she do something to you that made you ask that?” He had a feeling of dread in his stomach, hands gripping the steering wheel hard enough for his knuckles to turn white.

With the change in her demeanor paired with the odd question, he couldn’t shake the bad feeling taking root at the base of his skull screaming danger.

She looked at her hands clasped together in her lap for a long moment, almost long enough for him to prompt her once again, but she beat him to it once more.

“How long ago did they loose their baby?”

At this he really had to think. He tracked back in his memory as they were pulling up to the ranch. “Well, I think you were born just a year after it happened. I remember having that small fear of ‘what if?’ in the back of my mind when your father told me about your mother expecting so soon after it happened. So 19 years ago?” He ventured a guess, before turning to look at his niece now that the truck had come to a stop and the engine had been cut.

“Did something happen over there, little one?” He had a deep frown on his face, but the touch he used on her shoulder was light. He was concerned.

She worried at her bottom lip for a moment, before turning back to him, deciding to trust her uncle. He liked children, and he couldn’t have his own and that must hurt him so very deeply. So maybe, maybe if she told him the truth, he’d be willing to help her free the boy.

“I think they’re keeping their son locked up in the basement. I don’t think they lost him at all.”

He removed his hand for just a moment in shock at her words, not having expected the conversation to take this turn.

“You think… wait, why do you think any of this of the Thompson’s?” He sounded skeptical, but he also knew his niece was not one prone to lying or over exaggeration. In fact, his niece tended to downplay the seriousness of most things, especially her discomfort. She wasn’t one to inconvenience others.

So this kind of declaration from her was shocking, but he couldn’t immediately rule it out.

A small flash of worry crossed her face, before she seemed to take a moment to collect herself. He watched her hands tighten in her lap before she turned to face him fully, a very grave expression on her face.

“Because… I saw him. He’s kept in the basement behind a crude brick wall with just a single brick not in place where he can see out of. He looked… different. Like his face was smooshed up from something. Kind of like how a blood hound looks different from a german shepherd dog, but for people. His eyes have this… like.. extra skin around them. It looks rather painful, honestly. He can’t talk, but he understood me talking to him. I asked him questions uncle Andrew, and he said… well more like grunted in a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ way. He said he lives there with the Thompson’s, but he didn’t seem happy about that. And that he can’t leave the room! It’s awful!”

She had run away with the conversation, passion filling her voice now. She was almost breathless after explaining everything to him.

He took a moment, and looked real hard at her, trying to tell if she was pulling some sick joke or if she was being actually honest. And when she didn’t waver under his intense gaze, but instead switched to an almost pleading tone, he realized she was telling the truth.

“He couldn’t have been much older than me, so it fits. He’s gotta be the baby from back then. And they… they locked him up because he was different. I don’t know if he’s ever even been out of that room before. He didn’t even know what a hug was, I had to explain it to him. And he looked so sad after I explained it. He’s never been hugged before, I just know it. They’re being awful to him just because of the way he looks, even though they’re his parents and supposed to love him, all of him, unconditionally. He’s just… he’s just a kid, their kid. He shoulda gotten hugs…”

As she went on, trying to impart upon him the sincerity and the urgency, she wasn’t able to hold back the emotions she’d been tamping down for the better part of the day. Her voice cracked at the end, and the tears she’d held back in the basement resurfaced with a vengeance.

A very small and broken “I couldn’t imagine papa never hugging me… or teaching me how to read… or loving me.” And at that last bit she burst into sobs, the big tears rolling down her face as she hugged herself tightly, rocking softly.

Her heart was aching, but not for herself. For the boy locked in a basement, unwanted by those who were supposed to take care for him.

“It’s not right… he’s alone…” she barely managed to get those words out through her choking sobs, her mind too young to emotionally handle something of this gravity without breaking down a little.

He didn’t doubt his niece, not after seeing how broken she looked and sounded. He did scoot over, drawing her up in a hug and rubbing her back and shushing her softly, trying to get her to calm down. Doing his best to soothe her.

“Shhh shhh, little one. It’s alright, it’ll be alright. We’ll look into it, okay? We’ll figure it out, it’ll all be okay.” He didn’t want to make any promises about this supposed boy, but the story was plausible. He just didn’t want to promise anything in case the situation wasn’t as it seemed.

But she shook her head. “We need to get him out of there. I promised him, and even if I hadn’t… you can’t… he can’t just stay locked up in a basement. It’s not right, uncle Andrew. He was crying when I had to leave, I can’t… I can’t leave him there. I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I let him stay down there to-to… to just wallow alone.”

Her tears hadn’t stopped, but her sobs had lessened. She still sounded like she was crying, even while talking.

He pulled a grimace, but nodded. No one deserved to be locked in a basement with no contact from anyone. That was just cruel. And if it did turn out to be the long thought dead Thompson boy, then it was an even worse situation.

He finally nodded, his mouth still in a grim line. “If he’s down there with no way out, we’ll get him out, okay? That’s all I can promise. But we gotta be smart about this. Do the Thompson’s know you found him?” He turned to face her, still holding her in a reassuring way, but wanting to make sure she knew it was important to go about this the right way.

Shaking her head, she sat up straighter, hands going to wipe at her tear stained face before responding verbally. “N-no. Mrs. Thompson thinks I fell asleep at the kitchen table while she gardened.”

He took a breath, trying to think if that was believable enough or not, but then remembered that everyone knew his niece he took in for the summer was of frail constitution and tired easily. So it was entirely plausible.

“Alright, well you can’t go back right away, we have to think this through. So for now, no wandering around, you’ll stay at the house, alright?”

At this she seemed to resist the idea for a moment, before nodding. “I’m just worried about him. I trust you, but how are we going to check on him and get him out?”

Quiet fills the truck as they both sit in anxiety while turning over different ideas in their own minds. He breaks the silence first.

"Well, I think the easiest way is to get the law involved. I've known Dale since I moved here, him and Irene went to school together. He's good people. We can have him come out and check in on them." He seemed sure this was the best course of action, but Layla worried at her bottom lip.

"What if... what if that makes things worse? Like, if they hide him or hurt him?" She had only ever read about things like this. And even then, they weren't quite like this situation. The stories she'd read were detective novels. Ones where once the police closed in and the bad guy had nowhere to go, they lost it and hurt the person they were stalking or had kidnapped. It never ended well.

He gave a low hum at what she brought up, it was a fair thing to be worried about. "I could have him over soon, invite him early in the day and we could tell him what happened. Make sure he's gonna be on our side, and then when we go over to check, it'll be me and him together. They won't be able to hurt him if both of us are there little one. We'll make sure he stays safe, alright?"

She contemplated this for a moment, anxiety eating at her. She wanted to say no, that she didn't want him to be in danger, but she also knew he was an adult who knew what he was doing. Had been an adult far longer than she had been, having only just turned 18 at the end of winter.

A shaky sigh passed her lips before she nodded. "Alright. When can we have Mr. Dale over? I don't... I'm not gonna sleep well until we get that poor boy out of there." Her voice had started out strong, but trailed off, barely above a whisper by the end of it.

Shifting to rub soothing circles on her back, he looked out the windshield. "Well, we oughta tell Irene all this, run our plan by her. She's the brains, after all." A soft, affectionate chuckle left him at the joke.

With a bit lighter hearts, the two of them got out of the truck and made their way inside to run their plan by aunt Irene. Layla had hope that aunt Irene might have a better idea than involving the police or putting uncle Andrew in harms way.

Revenant Falls

I don’t really know how this all started, I mean I can tell you how our bit pf the story happened but not how the whole story started. I mean it could have been a lab accident, a miscast spell (not me this time), or even a sick cdc agent who went missing. Who knows.

As for us well it was our fifth summer here and we were staying at the Shack with Soos, Melody, and lil Mía. Abuelita was spending the summer with family in Florida. Stan and Ford were due back sometime after our second week but they were delayed, something to do with a customs hassle at their last port of call. I was ok with it though as it gave me more time with Wendy. Her dad was working at his brother’s site upstate and had taken the boys with him, so she was home alone this summer.

We finally decided last year to go ahead and take the plunge and started dating. Heck most of Gravity Falls had thought that already were. According to some they already had wedding gifts bought for us, just waiting for the date to happen. Mabel and Tambry kept playing Ro-sham-bo for the privilege of being Wendy’s maid of honor everytime the whole group got together.

And just cause I was spending so much time with Wendy, that didn’t mean that Mabel was left lonely. Nope. She spent time with her girls; Candy, Grenda, and particularly Pacifica. That one was a surprise. Not that they hung out, they had become great friends during our second summer in Gravity Falls. No the surprise happened during one of the gangs parties last year, during a game of truth or dare, Robbie dared Pacifica to kiss Mabel. Now I knew that Mabel had come out as Pan and that she thought Paz was cute, but apparently Robbie had known that Pacifica had a crush on Mabel and in his own way decided to try to pay Mabel back for setting him up with Tambry. In his defense it worked like a charm. The two of them begged out of the next round so they could talk. And the rest is history as they say.

Every once in awhile the four of us would go out exploring, visiting Multibear and what not. It had adopted Several Timez after finding them foraging in the woods after Weirdmageddon. They all helped each other expand their taste in music and two of them (Mabel could tell you which but not me) even joined the Gravity Falls workforce. One became a dispatcher for the Sheriff’s office and the other got hired on by Thompson to run the projector at the theater.

But during the week that this all started Candy had went with Grenda to visit Marius (yeah, I’m surprised that they were still together myself) and so Mabel was spending most of her free time with either Pacifica or doting on lil Mía like a good godmother should (oh yeah I forgot to mention that, Mabel and I are lil Mía’s godparents). But where was I, oh yeah. We were alone in the Shack and I was running the last tour cause Soos and family had driven up to Portland that Friday for Melody’s mother’s birthday. I wish we knew what happened to them, but I digress. Right now it really won’t help us much.

Like I was saying, I had finished up giving the last tour and Wendy was cashing out the suckers’ (as Grunkle Stan calls them) purchases while Mabel was discreetly showing them the door. She had a date with Pacifica and she was ready to leave. After we shuffled the last customer out Mabel was already on her phone talking to Paz.

I was locking up when I heard one of the tourists say ‘Look honey, one of the animatronics got loose.’ Looking out the door I saw one of the gnomes coming towards the Shack. Yeah Soos hired some of the Gnomes to act as animatronics during the tours to help ‘Make the display look more lifelike.’ And he pays them a pie a week for each working gnome, it’s a good deal all around (Geoff makes sure to get his cut of one slice out of each pie earned even though he doesn’t work any shifts). But the thing is the gnomes we had working today left right after the tour finished in their area. Well that and this gnome was coming from towards town. As I got a better look at it I saw it wasn’t one of Soos’s regular crew. I think this one was named Carson or was it Henry.

I walked outside as the tourist started to head for the gnome saying ‘I’ll get and take it back into the giftshop.” As I headed over to the gnome myself I got an even better look at Alan or was it Jeremiah, I saw that it’s complexion had soured. I tried stopping the tourist before he got to Kevin, Ezekiel, well whatever it’s name was but I was too late. As he had bent down he said “Honey it looks like this one was damaged, it’s leaking fluid… AAAAGGGGHHHH!”

The former gnome had taken the opportunity and took a giant (well for a gnome at least) chunk out of the man’s hand. As the guy pulled back the gnome scurried forward and climbed up his clothing before going for his jugular. I quickly hurried back towards the Shack and tried to bring his wife with me but she rushed forward to try and help her husband. I heard her screams as his died out. Locking the door I told the girls what had happened and to make sure the doors were locked tight. Well that and assured them that it was not my fault as I no longer had access to that spell anymore.

I then ran into the Shack’s office to grab the wireless microphone for the outdoor PA system. As I reached into the drawer where Soos kept it I came upon one of Grunkle Stans pistols, I grabbed it just to be safe. After going hunting with Wendy’s family a couple of times last year, I know how to use a gun but I really hoped I wouldn’t have to.

I met Wendy and Mabel back in the gift shop and after a quick debate over everyone’s taste in music we settled on a jingle from tv ad that we all were certain we knew. We gathered around the mic and harmonized perfectly. All it did was attract the, well, zombies towards the speaker on the totem pole. We belted out the song and tried a couple others and still there was no change in the now three zombies. Finally we gave up. I asked the girls to stay inside and I stepped out with the pistol pulled out. The two former tourists were quick to take out but the gnome was harder due to his size. He was only five feet away from me when I finally tagged him.

After Wendy let me back in we locked the doors and headed into the living room where Mabel had turned on the tv. After we watched the breaking news story it was apparent that whatever had attacked Rico, oh hell, the gnome had done it somewhere in town. There was already panic in the streets as people were being bitten and converted. Mabel was already on her phone checking back in with Pacifica. She gasped right in the middle of her conversation and I turned to see what had caused it. Right in the middle of the gang of ghouls was Preston Northwest. I really should have felt remorse for him, but to be honest I felt it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy,

While Mabel talked to Pacifica, Wendy and I rushed around the Shack gathering up supplies. After the Weirdmageddon incident Mabel and I began making ‘bug-out bags’. I currently have two here in the Shack, one out in the compartment where I found the journal, one stashed with Multibear, and we all have one down in the Blind Eye room at the museum. I also found seven more of Stan’s guns plus some ammo. I tossed a baseball bat and a shovel into a gunny sack I found in the office and met back up with the girls. Wendy had gathered up a collection of can goods and her bag she had here, while Mabel had two bags of her own.

Mabel Said that Pacifica barricaded herself in her room at her parent’s ranch house and was packing a second bag of her own. We headed out and remembered that Wendy had rode her bike to work today. So Wendy grabbed the keys from the corpse of the zombie and we took their SUV. While Wendy drove I called the phone I had left with Multibear in case something happened to one of Several Timez. One of the band answered and handed off the phone to Multi, I warned him about what was going down and told him to be leary of any of the Band that may have been in town.

Next I started calling the gang. Tambry was at Robbie’s so that was a two for one call. They had been listening to some music when her phone started going crazy. At first they thought it was a joke until her Bumbl feed starting sharing stories of zombie encounters. I told her to warn Robbie that the three piece harmony defense I told him about after spotting one of the old style zombies trying to escape their graveyard after Weirdmageddon.

I didn’t reach Thompson and when I called Nate I found out that he had left his phone at home when his mother answered it. She said that as far as she knows he was with Lee & Thompson at the theater. After I tried to convince her of what’s happening but she just thought it was some kind of hoax. Calling Lee and the theater got no results.

Wendy had skirted around the outer edge of town on our way to pick up Pacifica. We pulled onto the grounds of the house and it was eerie. Normally there is some type of sound coming from the house. I stayed with the SUV while the girls went in to get Pacifica, Wendy went prepared taking not only her ax but one of the pistols. She also handed Mabel the baseball bat. From what they told me the house was trashed. Mabel said they found Fredricks, the Northwest’s only remaining in house servant, in the kitchen crouched over the remains of Priscilla. Mabel froze seeing the once gentle butler munching on his former boss. Wendy went to act but Mabel stopped her and walked up to the former butler and swung her bat straight down on his head. After he was done moving Wendy said she had to hold Mabel for a bit to calm her down.

While they were inside I was still outside trying to figure out why (besides the whole zombie outbreak) the quiet was bothering me. I looked around the property till I saw what it was, the stables. There was usually some type of noise coming from the stables when we visited Pacifica in the past. I was torn, I knew I needed to stay with the vehicle for when the girls got back but I was curious. It would only take me a moment.

I grabbed the shotgun and headed towards the stables. As I neared the doors I saw that one was pushed inwards, almost broken down. And then I finally heard some noise. Cautiously I peered through the open door and I saw it. Standing outside of the stall was one of the manotaurs, Beardy, and he had a big chunk torn out of his side. And it appeared as if he had just finished eating Pacifica’s horse, Cappuccino. I apparently gasped or something as he turned towards me and began to charge. I barely had time to bring the shotgun up and fire. Whoever loaded the chambers of this thing did not load buckshot. It was a slug shot and when it hit, it certainly did it’s job. Beardy dropped like a puppet whose strings were cut.

During the time I took to check the barn the girls had convinced Pacifica to let them into her room and once she saw the state of Mabel’s clothes she knew something had happened to the other’s in her house. For some reason (I believe it was in an attempt to have some type of normalcy) she insisted that Mabel change out of her bloody sweater. She had just finished when they heard the shot. Pacifica grabbed her stuff and they rushed out (Wendy guiding them away from the kitchen to spare Pacifica from seeing her mother). We all made it back to the SUV at about the same time. After they saw that I was ok and I explained what had happened, Wendy volunteered to go back inside to grab any non perishables that the house had in case we needed them. Pacifica also told her that her father had a satellite phone in his office incase of a power outage or phone line problems.

Once she was back with us we discussed where we were going to try to hold up for the night. We thought about heading back to the Shack and even staying here for the night but decided against either as the bodies at both locations may draw straggler zombies towards us. Finally it was a call from Lee that set our course of action.

Apparently a group of bikers from the Fractured Skull had tried taking up refuge in the theater and when Thompson attempted to stop them they threw him and Nate out into the arms of the oncoming horde. Lee was currently hiding out on the roof of the theater scared out of his mind. We told him to keep his phone on silent and to be ready to run once we called him. We planned to drive as close to the theater and try to get Lee out of there. From there the thought process was to try and find some sort of gated property for the night.

We made it into town with little hassle thanks to Wendy knowing the town like the back of her hand. As we got closer we saw that while the front of the theater had zombies milling about, the alleyway looked clear. I dialed up Lee and told him to head to the back of the roof and to look out for a blue SUV. As we pulled up I saw him hanging from the edge of the roof. Thanks to his lanky frame and the dumpster under him, he didn’t have that far to fall. He had made enough noise though that I climbed out of the SUV with one of the pistols drawn as Mabel and Pacifica helped him into the vehicle. The soft spoken giant was visibly shaken up over everything that he had seen in this short time. As I was heading back to the SUV the theater’s emergency exit opened and one of the bikers (he actually looked like one of Gideon’s old henchmen that had stayed in town after they got their pardon for their help during Weirdmageddon) had came through the door. Upon seeing us said something about stealing the SUV and getting out of town. I was hit by a thrown bottle as I started to climb into the vehicle. Wendy grabbed me and peeled out.

She ended up heading back out of town and pulled into the first place with a tall fence and a strong gate, Gleeful’s Auto Lot. It was Sunday so while Pacifica and Lee checked my head (still hurt like a dickens, apparently the bottle first connected lip first before rotating and finished hitting me so I had small gash near the base of my skull in the hairline), Mabel picked the lock on the chain holding the gate closed. After we were in the lot we closed up the gate and chained the lock on the inside. We pulled the SUV into the bay were bud has his mechanic (Ghosteyes usually) whatever minor work needed to be done to protect him from the town’s lemon law. In the office we found the keys to the rest of the vehicles on the lot and moved a panel van in front of the gate. That and the barbed wire on top should make it harder for the zombies to get in.

We set up camp inside of the office and mechanic’s bay and took inventory of out situation. We had the eight guns (three rifles, three revolvers, a semi auto pistol, & the shotgun), about a box of ammo for each, the baseball bat (Mabel had washed it after Fredricks I guess as it looked fairly clean), the shovel, a couple of weeks worth of canned goods (more if we ration), another two to three days worth in our bug out bags, Mabel’s grappling hook, Wendy’s ax, another hatchet she had in her bag, a hand crossbow (another of Wendy’s items with fifty bolts), two magnet guns, six flashlights (two with growth/shrink crystals, but I don’t see how they will help against the zombies. The only thing a shrunk zombie will be is harder to hit), approximately three outfits each (except for Lee), bandages (one of which is adorning the gash on my head), three machetes, a bowie knife, a stun gun (the only weapon Preston would buy Pacifica to defend herself), a large pocket knife (with a silver inlay in the blade that Pacifica bought herself last year after the werewolf transfer student incident), and thanks to the vending machines Bud had on the lot we now have cola and candy. There was more incidental items (like matches, toiletries, water filtration, etc) but this was the important stuff.

After the inventory check and a call to check on Robbie and Tambry (and to let them know about Nate and Thompson), Wendy and I walked the perimeter to look for any weak links in the fencing. It also gave us a chance to be there for each other and make sure we were not in shock over the days events. While walking the back fence we found out that Bud had installed a fifty gallon gas pump. We filled up a couple five gallon cans he had on site and topped off the tank in the SUV.

I decided to take the first watch and let the others sleep (I’m a night owl anyways). Wendy stayed up with me for about a half hour and we comforted each other. I took another walk around the perimeter after she went to lay down. About a hour later I started working on this journal entry. Till tomorrow.

Dipper Pines

June 18th, 2017 The first day of the zombie apocalypse.

With that Dipper closed the blue journal he had been writing in and stood up. he had been at this for a bit and it probably would be best if he did another perimeter search before he went and woke up Mabel for her shift. He had already let her sleep an extra hour more than was planned. ==================================

Well hello there, welcome to Revenent Falls. This is my take what would happen to the Gravity Falls crew if there were a zombie outbreak. And as we have seen these are not the same type of zombies that the Pines family have dealt with in the past. But after surviving Weirdmageddon and instances that have happened since then (it is Gravity Falls) the Twins and their friends are a little more hardened to the towns supernatural weirdness.

My story is set five years post Weirdmageddon. if you want to read a great take on what would have happened if the zombie apocalypse happened before ‘Not What He Seems’, I suggest you check out Dead Falls by @samuel-sadi. it is an excellent story and I highly recommend it.

Also remember to check out my other Gravity Falls works: Gravity Heroes - A few months after the Mystery Twins head home from Gravity Falls Mabel receives a call from Soos telling her that Dipper was found turned to stone out in the woods. The problem is that Dipper is standing next to her when she received the call. This leads them off to a new adventure. Gravity Heroes: Sidetracks - A series on one shots & drabbels that are stories that are in the Gravity Heroes-verse but aren’t necessarily required to read the main story-line. It’s essentially my take on the classic Marvel Comics Presents. Valor Force - During his time on the other side of the portal Ford encountered several people. One was name Zordon who shared scientific knowledge with him. After the defeat of Bill and seeing exactly what McGuket was capable of, Ford decided to use what he learned to create his own team. In 2016 a new threat arises and following Zordon’s advice Ford recruitsa team of ‘Teenagers With Attitude’ to create the Valor Force Rangers. Welcome To The Gravity Falls Region - My take on the Pokemon AU. Follow the adventures of the potential Pokemon Master Dipper Pines and his sister Mabel, Pokemon Coordinator extraordinaire, while they travel through the Gravity Falls Region. On hiatus. The Curse - Thanks to a misunderstanding Wendy is targeted by a fairy curse. This is a short story following what happens afterwards. Chapter 2 coming soon. Wrasslin Wendy - After Wendy’s brothers learn that Dipper’s Godfather is a former pro wrestler and beg him to introduce them.

If any news story could chill your blood, this is it …

Plunger had a nasty moment when we misread a recent online headline as indicating the erstwhile Prince of 90s Pap Pop Robbie Williams was actually collaborating on a forthcoming musical project with horny-handed sons of toil and vanguard of the coming (yes, really, any day now) workers’ popular uprising, Sleaford Mods. Thankfully, once we’d come out from behind the sofa, it turned out The Shirtless One was just singing along to some tune by the miserabilists on his phone.

But it got us thinking…they’re both from the post-industrial Midlands rust belt (they’re practically neighbours in Stoke and Nottingham) so maybe the idea of mashing up their seemingly disparate oeuvres isn’t so far fetched? 

Let loose on some of Robbie’s past glories we’re sure the Mods could work wonders… on the realities of modern love and loss in Angles

And through it all

she offers me protection,

a johnny for my erection,

a raincoat for my dong.

And i will turn it down,

i don’t like wearing rubbers:

and if the silly scrubber

kicks off then I’ll be gone.

If she wont take me…

I’ll shag her mother instead

Or perhaps the unvarnished truth of moonlighting as black economy decorator, in Let Me In To Paint You

Look me up in Thompson’s pages

(between the plumbers and the rabbit cages)

I only work for union wages (cash).

Little boys blue have screwed you too,

they won the election (and the previous two)

fourth time’s a charm, with a Jezza coup (natch!)

Or Relight My Pyre’s tale of incendiary passion on a council estate?

Relight my pyre…

with a fly-tipped sofa and a bread-van tire.

Relight my pyre,

cause I’m bo-o-o-ored and stoned.

Or maybe allow their imaginations to fly free, riffing on another of the Robmeister’s favourites, Back For Good Riddance

Want you back, want you back…

‘cos you took my giro and my stash of smack;

my Co-op baked beans family-size pack;

my grandmother's G-plan magazine rack…

and the Tory wankers are a load of cack.

Couldn’t be any worse together than separately, really.

The Wiccan Rede

Here are two versions of The Wiccan Rede by Doreen Valiente and Lady Gwen Thompson. Read down below for FREE BOS pages featuring the two versions of the Wiccan Rede.

A similar rule is found in the work of Aleister Crowley around the turn of the century, in which he advised his readers, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Love is the Law, love under Will."

One version was made famous by Doreen Valiente in the early 1960s, and in 1974 a lengthier version, by Lady Gwen Thompson, was published in the Green Egg, a Pagan magazine. Thompson credited her grandmother, Adriana Porter, with the original work. Although there is no scholarly evidence for this claim, the work remains one of the most popular writings in Wicca today.

The Wiccan Rede by Doreen Valiente - 1964

Bide within the Law you must, in perfect Love and perfect Trust. Live you must and let to live, fairly take and fairly give.

For tread the Circle thrice about to keep unwelcome spirits out. To bind the spell well every time, let the spell be said in rhyme.

Light of eye and soft of touch, speak you little, listen much. Honor the Old Ones in deed and name, let love and light be our guides again.

Deosil go by the waxing moon, chanting out the joyful tune. Widdershins go when the moon doth wane, and the werewolf howls by the dread wolfsbane.

When the Lady's moon is new, kiss the hand to Her times two. When the moon rides at Her peak then your heart's desire seek.

Heed the North winds mighty gale, lock the door and trim the sail. When the Wind blows from the East, expect the new and set the feast.

When the wind comes from the South, love will kiss you on the mouth. When the wind whispers from the West, all hearts will find peace and rest.

Nine woods in the Cauldron go, burn them fast and burn them slow. Birch in the fire goes to represent what the Lady knows.

Oak in the forest towers with might, in the fire it brings the God's insight. Rowan is a tree of power causing life and magick to flower.

Willows at the waterside stand ready to help us to the Summerland. Hawthorn is burned to purify and to draw faerie to your eye.

Hazel-the tree of wisdom and learning adds its strength to the bright fire burning. White are the flowers of Apple tree that brings us fruits of fertility.

Grapes grow upon the vine giving us both joy and wine. Fir does mark the evergreen to represent immortality seen.

Elder is the Lady's tree burn it not or cursed you'll be. Four times the Major Sabbats mark in the light and in the dark.

As the old year starts to wane the new begins, it's now Samhain. When the time for Imbolc shows watch for flowers through the snows.

When the wheel begins to turn soon the Beltane fires will burn. As the wheel turns to Lamas night power is brought to magick rite.

Four times the Minor Sabbats fall use the Sun to mark them all. When the wheel has turned to Yule light the log the Horned One rules.

In the spring, when night equals day time for Ostara to come our way. When the Sun has reached it's height time for Oak and Holly to fight.

Harvesting comes to one and all when the Autumn Equinox does fall. Heed the flower, bush, and tree by the Lady blessed you'll be.

Where the rippling waters go cast a stone, the truth you'll know. When you have and hold a need, harken not to others greed.

With a fool no season spend or be counted as his friend. Merry Meet and Merry Part bright the cheeks and warm the heart.

Mind the Three-fold Laws you should three times bad and three times good. When misfortune is enow wear the star upon your brow.

Be true in love this you must do unless your love is false to you.

These Eight words the Rede fulfill:

"An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will"

 Lady Gwen Thompson's version of the Wiccan Rede reads as follows:

The Rede of the Wiccae

Being known as the counsel of the Wise Ones: Bide the Wiccan laws ye must, in perfect love and perfect trust. Live and let live, fairly take and fairly give. Cast the Circle thrice about to keep the evil spirits out.

To bind the spell every time, let the spell be spake in rhyme. Soft of eye and light of touch, speak little, listen much. Deosil go by the waxing Moon, sing and dance the Wiccan rune. Widdershins go when the moon doth wane, and the Werewolf howls by the dread Wolfsbane.

When the Lady's Moon is new, kiss thy hand to Her times two. When the Moon rides at Her peak then your heart's desire seek. Heed the Northwind's mighty gale; lock the door and drop the sail.

When the wind comes from the South, love will kiss thee on the mouth. When the wind blows from the East, expect the new and set the feast. When the West wind blows o'er thee, departed spirits restless be.

Nine woods in the Cauldron go, burn them quick a' burn them slow. Elder be ye Lady's tree; burn it not or cursed ye'll be. When the Wheel begins to turn, let the Beltane fires burn. When the Wheel has turned at Yule, light the log and let Pan rule.

Heed ye flower bush and tree, by the Lady Bless'd Be. Where the rippling waters go cast a stone and truth ye'll know. When find that ye have need, hearken not to others' greed. With the fool no season spend or be counted as his friend.

Merry meet and merry part, bright the cheeks and warm the heart. Mind the Threefold Law ye should, three times bad and three times good. When misfortune is enow, wear the Blue Star on thy brow. True in love ever be unless thy lover's false to thee. Eight words ye Wiccan Rede fulfill: An' it harm none, do what ye will.

#she is so arrogant and desperate and horrible and DECEPTIVE in Mando#I don’t know why people don’t see her as a bad guy#but then again I’ve actually seen tcw (via @sidesofmayo)

I cut off a lot of the tags here, but I wanted to focus in on this, because you're not WRONG, but also yes, you've seen TCW, and that makes a HUGE difference.

I was actually someone who was introduced to Bo-Katan in The Mandalorian before I ever saw TCW or Rebels. So I know that Bo-Katan's past as a terrorist is erased, because I'm someone who only knew her from this one thing and I can tell you right now, I had no idea about any of that just from her scenes in The Mandalorian.

And I DID like Bo-Katan when I first met her. Half of that was liking Katee Sackhoff for nostalgic Battlestar Galactica reasons, but the other half was just genuinely liking Bo-Katan. She's rough around the edges, yes, she's rude and insensitive and arrogant, but she's also presented as someone who does genuinely care about her people, who cares about restoring a planet and a culture that the Empire tried to destroy, to bring back together a people forced into diaspora. That's who Bo-Katan is presented to be at her core, despite her sharper edges. And even with the way she initially reacts to Din, she also seems to ultimately come to respect him and is reasonable enough to be willing to help him out if he helps her with something in return, which is pretty common of literally everyone Din interacts with in the show.

The fact that Bo-Katan was once a literal TERRORIST, who worked to help destabilize and bring down her own sister's pacifist government, who SUCCEEDED at overthrowing her own sister's pacifist government, which was part of what led to Mandalore being weak enough that the Empire could just come in and take over without issue, is never mentioned even once.

You only know she's being deceptive if you know who she is. You only know she's manipulating the truth if you've seen everything else she's been in and can point to her history and question the version she's presenting. But, not unlike Din himself, I had no knowledge of any of the events she was discussing, so I had to take her at her word for it since no one else was refuting her statements.

Without having seen literally a full ELEVEN SEASONS of content between TCW and Rebels (yes, I know that Bo-Katan is only in a few episodes total of both shows, but I am not a person who can watch only select episodes and feel like I truly understood what was happening, so 11 full seasons of show it was), Bo-Katan comes off as not all that much different than Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie in Thor. She's jaded, she's got a troubled past, she's initially prickly but you can ultimately understand her motives are good and honorable.

So yeah, if you haven't seen TCW, she doesn't come off as the Bad Guy, she's honestly likable as a character, because what references they make to her history are entirely sanitized.

I love Bo-Katan’s introduction in Rebels because about 2% of the information relayed to new audiences is actually accurate.

Some of that may be due to it being aired prior to season seven of The Clone Wars, but some of it isn’t.

For one, they decided to have the entirety of Mandalore apparently conveniently forget that Bo-Katan was part of a terrorist organization whose entire goal was overthrowing her own sister’s government, that Bo-Katan was second in command of said terrorist organization, and that said terrorist organization SUCCEEDED in their overthrow which is what directly led to Maul ending up in charge via a puppet Prime Minister and Satine’s death.

Love that none of that gets mentioned. I understand that Sabine may not have that backstory for Bo-Katan, but Fenn Rau should given how old he is and what we know he was involved in during that time period.

For two, they try to say that the Jedi named Bo-Katan regent of Mandalore right before the Clone War ended. I don’t know if they decided on “regent” because Korkie was supposed to be around at the time even though he’s conveniently nowhere to be found during the Siege of Mandalore arc and we have yet to discover what happened to him, but at no point during that arc is it shown that Bo-Katan wants to be a REGENT or that that would be her title if she did succeed in her mission to take down Maul and Death Watch’s regime.

The other major problems with this are that the Jedi would not have had any power to name anyone ruler of the Mandalorian government, and even if they did, there weren’t actually any Jedi available during that mission to do so. That just wasn’t a power they had ANYWHERE, much less over Mandalore, a planet in a system that was technically part of a neutral coalition and not even part of the Republic anymore. For another, Ahsoka is there as a civilian consultant, not a Jedi, and this is made explicitly clear. This is the one that can be attributed to the fact that season seven hadn’t been aired yet and so the details of this arc clearly changed, but when seen chronologically, it really doesn’t add up. If Bo-Katan ended up a ruler of Mandalore in the aftermath of the Siege of Mandalore, it was of her own doing, not the Jedi’s.

Not to mention, I find it hard to believe ANY Mandalorian would respect a ruler named such by the Jedi, and Fenn Rau makes it clear that the Mandalorians still to this day think that Bo-Katan is the true ruler of Mandalore.

The only thing in this entire introduction that is true is that Bo-Katan’s sister once ruled Mandalore and that at some point after that, Bo-Katan then ruled it and lost it to Gar Saxon. Everything else is so inaccurate it hurts.

Lucy the Disc Jockey

S3;E26 ~ April 12, 1965

Synopsis

Lucy wins a mystery sound contest on the radio, winning $25 and the chance to be disc jockey for a day. Naturally, things don't go smoothly when she takes over the studio.

Regular Cast

Lucille Ball (Lucy Carmichael), Vivian Vance (Vivian Bagley), Gale Gordon (Theodore J. Mooney)

Guest Cast

Pat Harrington (Gordon Felson) is probably best remembered as Schneider on the 1975 sitcom “One Day at a Time.” Between 1959 and 1960 he played the recurring role of Pat Hannigan in “Make Room for Daddy” also shot at Desilu. He died on January 6, 2016 at age 86.

His nickname is “Fair Felson”. 

Variations on the title of this episode include “Lucy and the Disc Jockey” and “Lucy is a Disc Jockey.”  

This episode was not intended to be the season finale, “Lucy the Stockholder” (S3;E25) was. It was shot in late 1964 and was supposed to air on March 15, 1965 but it kept getting pre-empted so it ended up being the season three finale.

This episode employs dozens of sound effects, many more than a usual “Lucy Show” episode.  Sound Engineer Eldon E. Campbell and Glen Glen Sound Company deserve credit for their creativity. 

From September 1964 to August 1965 (from shoot date to air date) Lucille Ball had her own daily radio show “Let’s Talk To Lucy” on CBS Radio. Although she did not play music, she talked to celebrities as herself, not in character, about a variety of subjects. 

Viv stayed up watching “The Late Late Show” on TV. They were airing the James Cagney movie where he push the grapefruit into his girlfriend's face. Viv is referring to The Public Enemy (1931). The film featured Sam McDaniel (Hattie's brother) who was the first African American face on “I Love Lucy” in “The Great Train Robbery” (ILL S5;E5).  

After playing the mystery sound, Felson announces the return to “the swing sounds of Jan Garber.” Jan Garber (1894-1977) was born in Morristown, New Jersey, and became a bandleader known for ‘sweet’ and ‘swing’ jazz.  His nickname was “The Idol of the Air Lanes.”  

There couldn’t be a show about radio without Lucy’s trusty red transistor radio.  It turns up in every season of “The Lucy Show” - even when Lucy moves to California. 

Listening to the hourglass (egg timer) a sleepy Viv makes a joke about hearing Lawrence of Arabia calling for help. Lawrence of Arabia is a 1962 epic historical film based on the life of  T.E. Lawrence and taking place mostly in the desert. It won seven Oscars including Best Picture.

Lucy once again has trouble with the kitchen sink garbage disposal unit just as she did in “Lucy, the Coin Collector” (S3;E13, right). Before Lucy turns it on to hear what sound it makes, Viv asks her if the plumber fixed it. These two episodes would have been aired closer together had “Lucy the Disc Jockey” not been pre-empted so often.

Mr. Mooney says that the 'Name the Sound' contest is the silliest thing since Mrs. Hush. The Mrs. Hush contest was a feature of “Truth or Consequences” radio show in 1947. The quiz show had already sponsored a Mr. Hush contest, where listeners had to identify the voice of a person of note from whispered clues. After more than two and a half months of guessing, Mrs. Hush turned out to be Clara Bow. The winner received a new car, private plane, home appliances, a mink coat, diamond ring and other assorted prizes totaling $23,000 in value.

When Mr. Mooney hears the cacophony of Lucy and Viv trying out different sounds on various household objects, he calls it a “Housewives Hootenanny.” “Hootenanny” was a television variety show featuring folk music acts that aired on ABC from 1963 to 1964. Lucy's daughter Chris mentioned the show in “Chris Goes Steady” (S2;E16) aired in January 1964.  

Mr. Mooney compares the noise in Mrs. Carmichael's kitchen to a Spike Jones rehearsal. Lindley Armstrong ‘Spike’ Jones (1911–65) was an American musician and bandleader specializing in satirical arrangements of popular songs and classical music. Songs receiving the Jones treatment were punctuated with gunshots, whistles, cowbells and outlandish and comedic vocals. Jones was born four months after Lucille Ball and died two weeks after this episode finally aired.

Angry that Mr. Mooney has also entered (and won) the contest after he said it was silly, Lucy calls him a “banking Benedict Arnold.”  Benedict Arnold (1741-1801) was an American soldier in the revolutionary war who defected to fight for the British. His name has become synonymous with a traitor ever since.

Lucy asks why Mrs. Mooney wasn’t the one defrosting the fridge. Mr. Mooney replies that she was out chopping wood, contributing to the series’ verbal depiction of Mrs. (Irma) Mooney as a sturdy woman.  

Mr. Mooney deems any voice contest between him and Lucy like comparing Walter Cronkite to Donald Duck. Walter Cronkite (1916-2009) was the voice and face of CBS News for nearly fifty years. He reported on some of the most dramatic events of the 20th century, such as the Kennedy Assassination, the Vietnam War, and the space program. He was considered to be “the most trusted man in America.”  Donald Duck is one of Walt Disney's most enduring cartoon creations. He first appeared in 1934 and his squawking raspy voice was provided by Clarence Nash.  

For the contest, Mr. Mooney is prepared to recite the Gettysburg Address, Hamlet's Soliloquy, and  Edgar Allen Poe's “The Raven.” Lucy is prepared to recite Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Little Bo Peep, and Tubby the Tuba.

Instead, Mr. Felson asks them to do traditional tongue-twisters. They first are asked to say “Big Black Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers” and then (after Mr. Mooney loses to Lucy and threatens to examine the radio station's mortgage) “Red Leather Yellow Leather,” each three times, fast and clear. Lucy wins again and receives applause from the studio audience for her performance.

The call letters of the radio station are WLDJ representing the first letter of each word in the episode's title: “Lucy the Disc Jockey.”

WLDJ is a one-man radio station with one sponsor: Spangle Soda Pop. Gordon Felson says he hasn't had a day off in nine years. Although the name Spangle Soda Pop is fictional, there was a chew-able candy in England names Spangles.

This is one of the rare episodes in which a character actually speaks the title of the episode in the dialogue!  

While reading a sports report on the air, Lucy announces that Maury Thompson is at bat. Maury was the camera coordinator for this episode as well as on “I Love Lucy.” In “Drafted” (ILL S1;E11) Ricky receives a letter from the War Department signed by Maurice A. Thompson.

When Lucy tries to see the title of the song on the spinning turntable and gets dizzy, she says “No wonder. It's a Dean Martin album.” This is a joke about Martin's drinking. She also made a joke about Dean Martin and his proclivity for alcohol in “Lucy the Stockbroker” (S3;E25). A year later, Lucy Carmichael dates Dean Martin.  His stuntman is named Eddie Feldman, which sounds similar to Eddie Felson, the radio host played by Pat Harrington. 

Lucy gets a phone request to play a song dedication to: Hilda and Babs and Jan and Ella and Molly and Dotty and Roselle and Mimi (like Eisenhower) and Mildred and Doris and Nora and Emma and Maryann and Evelyn and Sadie and Emma (a redhead) and SueEllen (one name) and Gertrude and Estelle and Joan and Connie and Sylvia.   

The man wants her to play “You're the One for Me.” The song was sung by Freddie Rose in 1927, so it is no surprise Lucy can’t find the record. Instead, she plays “Bing Crosby Sings Stephen Foster.” The Crosby album was released in 1946.  For the ‘record’ (no pun intended), President Johnson's wife was named Mamie, not Mimi. 

When Lucy puts the needle down on the record, a voice sounding very much like Crosby’s sings to the tune of “Camptown Races”:

“Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum Stephen Foster.”

And then suddenly stops! 

With the studio covered in the white foam from the fire extinguisher, Lucy sings a bit of “White Christmas” as the episode (and season three) fade out. "White Christmas" is a 1942 Irving Berlin song. The Bing Crosby version is the best-selling single of all time. In 1965 The Supremes recorded it for their Christmas album.

SIGNING OFF!

This is the last episode featuring Vivian Vance as a regular co-star. She will return for guest-star appearances in 3 future episodes.

This is the last new episode to be broadcast by CBS in black and white. When season four begins, viewers will finally see Lucy's hair in color!

This is the last time Lucy and Mr. Mooney will live in Danfield, NY. The pair relocate to California at the start of season four.

Some insiders say that Vivian Vance had decided to leave the show unless she got more creative control. Ball's advisers tell her Vance wanted a partnership, which wasn't true. It was decided not to meet Vivian's demands, and Vance leaves the series. Lucille felt hurt and betrayed. This is a decision Ball regrets for the rest of her life. Without Vivian, Lucille toys with the idea of ending the series. Vivian wanted to have the stories revolve more around her if she was going to keep commuting to the set from Connecticut. She was exhausted and her marriage to John Dodds was deteriorating because he was bisexual and seeing other men when she wasn't around. Vivian also felt that Lucille let her down.

The closing scene for this episode (Lucy crying amid the radio station destruction) was featured in the season four kaleidoscope opening credit sequence.

“The Lucy Show” was replaced for the summer (June-September) by “Vacation Playhouse,” an anthology series of unsold TV pilots.

Callbacks!

Lucy Ricardo was on the radio twice, both times on a quiz show hosted by Freddy Fillmore (Frank Nelson): “The Quiz Show” (ILL S1;E5) and “Lucy Gets Ricky on the Radio” (ILL S1;E32).  

Both of those episodes featured an illuminated “ON THE AIR” sign, just like “Lucy the Disc Jockey.” 

When Lucy flips an unlabeled switch on the console, it turns on a fan that blows away all her note cards.  In “Redecorating the Mertzes Apartment” (ILL S3;E8) a fan mistakenly activated blows feathers from the recently disemboweled armchair all over the room, ruining all their hard work. 

Blooper Alerts!

Ice Box Inconsistency! For this episode, Lucy's modern refrigerator has been replaced by an older model in order to facilitate the stunt of pulling the guts out of it. The refrigerator has also moved locations to make the gag physically possible.

Sitcom Logic Alert!  Why would there be a switch for a free-standing oscillating fan on the console of a radio station control board? 

Laugh Track! When the shelf of records comes crashing to the floor, Gary Morton’s loud guffaw can be heard on the soundtrack. 

Hoser!  Instead of plain water, the fire hose emits soapy suds, likely to imitate the foam that comes from a hand-held extinguisher. A fire hose would only produce plain water, not foam. 

Name Game!  When taking a song request, a caller gives a long list of women’s names. Repeating them as she jots them down, Lucy says the name “Emma” twice and adds “That the same Emma you mentioned?  Oh, a redhead.”  This may be a scripted line, but it sounds very much like an ad lib by Ball to cover herself after repeating the name.  

“Lucy the Disc Jockey” rates 3 Paper Hearts out of 5
