    The line between bartender for hunters and actual hunter became blurred more often than Johnny was comfortable with these days, prompting him to take a pointed step back on the smaller hunts that he wasn't desperately needed on. Johnny was aware that if he wanted to be, he could be a formidable hunter. He'd picked up a thing here or there from those he served to supplement the couple of times his dad had taken him out when he was younger. He never got into it the way most hunters did; Johnny hadn't had a tragic event in his life that would push him into the deep end of this life, he just dabbled because it was impossible to pretend you didn't know the truth once the veil was lifted. He preferred to serve beer, offer places to stay, and just give advice than getting into the thick of things.

    Especially since his baby sister was so determined to do the opposite.

    Today was a day he was making it a point to hang back. Business was slow that night, the results of upcoming midterms at the college, the early hour, and the dreary weather. Since he hadn't had a problem making sales, it wasn't bothering him too much. A nearly empty place made it easier for their team of hunters to spread out their research to try and make a crack in their latest case. At one of the larger tables they sat; Rosario with her permascowl, pointing something out in the article in front of her angrily as though determined to make it known that her idea was right; Russell sitting beside her, meeting her aggression like a dance, the two always doing the anger tango; Mason sat across from them, looking awkward and uncomfortable in his switch from leader to follower in light of the big dogs coming to play; and next to him was Steve, looking as serious as he always did when it was time to get to business. At another table sat the younger kids, joking around and laughing as though it were completely normal that their older comrades looked at clippings of murders on a Saturday night. Even Taylor was kept busy, and not for want of trying--she had argued with both Selena and Johnny for an hour about the hunt, and had only relented to staying put when Johnny threatened to take her computer away.

    Johnny caught Selena's eye from across the way, gesturing to the bottle of beer in his hand before tossing it over to her. It was technically illegal for him to condone her drinking, but he had never been a stickler over it. Since she was older, Johnny felt comfortable being her brother again, not her father. He hadn't quite reached that potential with Taylor yet, so he enjoyed it as much as he could. Grabbing a couple more, he made his way over to take a seat on Russell's other side, passing the beers around.

    "It's not just going after the kids," Rose said, tapping her finger down on a newspaper angrily. "Look. The first family had the kids and the mom."

    "A young mom," Mason pointed out, sounding a little hesitant to give his input, but doing so anyway. "She was the step-mom. Probably Bianca's age, and only like two years older than the oldest kid."

    "Yeah, but this one didn't attack the youngest kid. It only attacked the parents and the oldest kids." Rose countered, shoving another article over towards Mason.

    Johnny peeked over, briefly skimming through each article. He wasn't interested in the hunt, but it wasn't like he was going to leave them without and extra pair of eyes. He was in the middle of reading one of the articles, engrossed by it to the point that he hadn't noticed Taylor walk over--or how long she'd been standing there.

    "They're non-traditional families," She said, causing Johnny to look up at her smug smile. "Look. That family had a step-mom, that one had adopted kids and the only one not touched was the blood kid. That one had a single dad. None of them are nuclear. It's a monster with a moral cause."

    Johnny stared. "Go...back to your table."

    If I ever become a pirate, I want to be one of those vegetable pirates. They seem nice.

    A man is driving down the freeway with his two pet penguins when he gets pulled over by a cop for speeding. After the cop hands over the speeding ticket to the driver, he notices the 2 penguins. The cop informs the driver that he must take the penguins to the zoo. The driver agrees to do so.

    Two months later, the same man is pulled over by the same cop for speeding. The cop notices the penguins again only now they are wearing sun glasses and eating ice cream. The cop says, "I thought I told you to take those penguins to the zoo." The man responds, "I did take them to the zoo, now I'm taking them to the beach."

    Connor, Whitney, Fletcher...We're going to the zoo.

    We've got a lot of signatures, guys! I'm proud of everyone. This is gunna be great. We'll start a Sea Monkey revolution! Down with the evil system, up with a caring one!

    On another note, we actually had a customer at Mayberry's today. He was confused and wanted the shop next door, but it was still someone, and he actually bought a sandwich. I think we're making progress.

    I need to buy more glitter. Suggestions for colors?

    We're going to protest the mistreatment of Sea Monkeys through the use of freeze drying technology just for commercial gain. If you want to sign, there are two copies. One of which is tacked on my door, and the other will be with Charlotte.

    Thank you for your concern.

    I met my neighbors today. They gave me a hamster they can't take care of anymore. I'm going to have to have a talk with Peart about how his ninja skills can't be used to eat Ulrich. I hope he doesn't get offended.

    [Locked to mutant friendly people]
    I ate a lot of waffles today, and oatmeal, and a few donuts... Seriously. Food tastes so much better when you're done fasting in the name of Ghandi and against anti-mutant actions. I'm already planning dinner. And Peart's getting extra catnip for being a ninja kitty, because those ninja skills saved my behind.

    I do feel sorry for those people who were still in the building, human and mutant. The mutants had no choice to be there, and it's a shame that their lives were ended because of this. The humans...I'll always feel sorry for them, even if that's not the popular answer. They were members of Op X, and I understand why others would hate them. They were cruel to all of us in there. But they're products of a violent society, and slaves to their misunderstanding.

    I wish I had a chance to help them.

    I would love to keep pondering things on this neato contraption, but I think Nugent just figured out how to turn on the water in the kitchen sink, and I've got packing to do.

    I think we should have a costume party, so I'm going to throw one. Next Saturday, August 29th, at eight p.m. You should all come, and in costume, because it's fun. I'll bring the sandwiches! And the good stuff. :D We can have it in the lobby of my apartment building.

    Today I figured out that if you use a flashlight, Nugent will run after it without stopping, even if it means running into the kitchen cabinet.

    I also found out that batteries in flashlights really do go dead at the worst times.

    But it's okay! Because I figured out how to steal electricity from the building across the alley.
