The night wore on to the still-dark early hours of the next day before people finally started peeling off. Although Ella had made a literal mountain of food, it was still finite, and Arthur’s fri...
2024-03-31 14:13:52 +0000 UTC View PostThe buying hour was magical. Arthur’s pocket money was light compared to a few days ago, but by the time he had spent his last coin, he had replenished his stock of starch, the teas he generally ...
2024-03-30 15:20:03 +0000 UTC View PostFrom the moment Arthur put his first pot of water on a heat source, the day became a blur.
Lily worked like a whirlwind, running to get him water, taking pots off heat when they were ready, b...
2024-03-29 19:21:13 +0000 UTC View PostArthur made his way home.
The worst part about his walk was a moderately sore set of legs. It almost felt wrong. This was a place everyone referred to as the demon world, a land of magic comp...

2024-03-28 12:08:59 +0000 UTC View PostAs the sun pulled high in the sky, Lily was puffing away on a crate. The exertion had finally caught up with her and weakened her enough that she had actually listened to Arthur when he forced her ...
2024-03-28 12:06:55 +0000 UTC View Post“And what do these do again?” The wolverine commander was glaring at Arthur out of his one good eye. Probably. It was possible he just always looked like that. Arthur tried hard not to take it ...
2024-03-27 19:51:20 +0000 UTC View PostBetween the over-pepped tea and the new fruit tea combinations, a new wave of interest swept over Arthur’s food cart. Enough demons were trying, enjoying, and complimenting his drinks that Arthur...

“That’s not… Kind of. I’m doing some ...
2024-03-26 19:17:08 +0000 UTC View PostNow that Arthur had some at least mild success with his shop, he had a bigger job ahead of him. He had customers, sure. But a good portion of the interest in his boba was driven by novelty. If he l...
2024-03-26 00:04:06 +0000 UTC View Post“No. I won't.” Lily pushed the tea away, careful not to slosh it. “I don't have to.”
“Oh, okay. My mistake,” Arthur said. “I thought you wanted to work.”
“Work?”
... 2024-03-25 23:08:48 +0000 UTC View PostIt was really, really hard.
It wasn't just hard because Arthur didn't really know what he was doing. If that had been all it was, it would have been bearable.
This was hard in a differe...

“What do you have to do?” Itela asked. “Not a thing. I however, have to do sort of a lot.”
Itela stood from her desk, suddenly glowing with light. 2024-03-23 14:26:25 +0000 UTC View Post
The next week went by fast, and slow, depending on how Arthur looked at it. Until that point, every day had brought something vastly different, some new test, struggle, or triumph. It had all been ...
2024-03-23 14:21:17 +0000 UTC View PostA bunch of information suddenly clicked into place for Arthur. A distrustful kid, one who was just a little dirtier and less taken care of than all the others. A bad attitude that was always on the...
2024-03-23 14:05:49 +0000 UTC View PostArthur poked his shell-shocked friend as Milo stood there. The sparrow’s eyes panned back and forth at the empty space in front of him. “Is it good? The skill?”

2024-03-22 12:24:13 +0000 UTC View PostUniforms, it turned out, were not really a thing for food stand owners. The associated gaggle of friends who had shown up to watch him set up the shop had been very clear on that subject.

Ella sent a message to Pico, letting him know about Arthur’s class and asking for a day or so more to break it in. And the mayo...

She nodded at him slightly, then stood there. And stood there. She seemed content to stand quietly and politely until he said something. “So you were...
