Feeling morose, he finished with his rounds, then sat down and fired up a smoke. He took a puff, leaned back, and closed his eyes.
Forrest the owl landed nearby and strutted over.
"Hey! Hey!" he said, in a mocking voice. "Do you like honey?"
The bear blew a cloud of smoke in his face. (3/3) #wss366

She began to ask yet another question, but her mother ran over.
"Brunhilde! Don't #tease the bear!" She grabbed the little girl's hand and dragged her away, squealing and struggling.
"It really wasn't a problem," the bear muttered, sadly, to himself. (2/3) #wss366

The bear made his rounds through the picnic grounds carefully checking for fire-safety violations. A little girl wearing a polka-dot dress walked alongside and peppered him with questions.
"Hey! Hey!" she said. "Do you like honey?"
"It's okay, I guess," he replied, noncommittally. (1/3) #wss366

Jupiter? Saturn? Neptune? Pollen on the Campus Pond.

Totemo heard a noise and found that Lambda was sitting behind her watching the screen. Lambda's tongue lolled.
"No! Don't look!" she said, blushing.
Lambda ruffed.
"Really?"
She nudged Totemo with her muzzle.
"Oh, alright," she sighed.
Miss Dairy pumped her fist and said, "Yes!" (3/3) #wss366

"Oh, this is perfect!" she gushed, looking at Totemo wearing a tight blue cashmere sweater and short, frilly pink skirt with striped leggings. She touched the screen. The avatar did a pirouette and dance routine on the screen.
"I'm not sure that's quite #right for me." Totemo cringed. (2/3) #wss366

Totemo and Sunny stood together in Dress Nouveau and looked at a floor-to-ceiling screen. Miss Dairy had persuaded Totemo, reluctantly, to go clothes shopping after work. She made her walk through the scanner and now she was selecting outfits to dress up her avatar on the screen. (1/3) #wss366

"There," Totemo whispered. "You're off the hook for tonight."
Miss Dairy looked adoringly at Totemo. "Where are we going for our anniversary?" she purred, taking Totemo's arm. (5/5)

"Sunny and I are going out for our anniversary tonight."
"Oh," he said. "Oh. I didn't know."
"I'm sorry, but Mr. Rokunai has asked me to…" Miss Dairy began.
"Nevermind," he said. "Nevermind! I didn't know you had a prior commitment. Tomorrow will be fine." He excused himself and walked away. (4/5)

Miss Dairy, who had started to pack up, looked pale at the prospect of spending hours re-doing the entire report.
Totemo composed her features, put on a big smile, and walked up to Miss Dairy.
"Hi, Sunny, are you ready?"
"Huh?" she said, genuinely confused.
Totemo turned to Mr. Rokunai. (3/5)

Mr. Rokunai pointed at a graph. "I believe that what you've represented as one variable should actually be two. Could you rerun all of the analyses using two factors?"
"I'll do it first thing in the morning, Mr. Rokunai," she said.
He looked pained. "I really need it tonight, Miss Dairy!" (2/5)

Totemo Isogashii finished her report and submitted it. Stretching after a long day, she headed home. As she walked through the office, she spied Mr. Rokunai approach Miss Dairy.
"I was reviewing your analysis, Miss Dairy," he said, staring at her ample bosom. "May I make a #request?" (1/5) #wss366

It's amazing what a 75% off string of Christmas lights can do… https://stevendbrewer.com/a-truly-magical-place-to-write/

I'm printing and folding 'zines to give away at the Watch City Steampunk Festival.

I have my writing tent set up for the season…

Miss Dairy reached into her bag and pulled out another sandwich and shoved it front of Totemo.
"For me?" asked Totemo.
Miss Dairy nodded silently.
"Thank you," she said, unwrapping it.
"It's not like I bring one every day just in case you might need it!" Miss Dairy said, abruptly. (3/3)

Totemo sighed. She reminded herself to not bother trying to interact with the odd woman.
She opened her bento and realized the box was empty. She had unaccountably picked up the box from yesterday rather than the fresh one she'd made this morning. She closed it and put it back in her bag. (2/3)

Totemo spent the morning writing up a field report. At noon, she went to the lunchroom. She sat at the #table next to the inscrutable Miss Dairy. She was a short, plump woman with an off-putting manner.
"Good afternoon, Sunny," she said.
"Hmph!" Miss Dairy said, looking away. (1/3) #wss366
