It was a lovely day outside, which the assembled Cabin 7 crew were grateful for as they ate lunch together in the park. "So," Zach asked between bites, "What have you guys been up to lately?"
Alex shrugged. "Not much, you?"
"Same."
"I've just been showing Vee around town," Luz said after swallowing. "You know, 'cause she didn't get to see much before camp started."
Masha grinned. "Well, unlike you guys, I actually managed to get a job."
"Oh?" Vee asked. "Where?"
"Back over at the Historical Society, actually."
Luz and Vee both froze mid-bite before sharing a glance with each other. "How, uh…" Luz started, looking back at Masha, "How's that working out?"
"Actually pretty great!" Masha said cheerily. "I mean, I've always been into the occult, and they have an entire exhibit on that kind of stuff so I'm pretty much dealing with that all the time. Plus, my boss is hilarious."
"How so?" Zach asked.
Masha rolled her eyes. "Oh, he just has this whole thing he does where 'demons are invading from Mars,' and 'using their time machine to steel our teeth' and it's just great." Her smile then faltered a bit. "Although, I suppose he can get a bit too into the act at times…"
"O-oh, yeah…" Vee slowly said, "that does sound like a pretty funny… act…" She then leaned over to Luz and whispered "Should we tell her?"
"I think she'll figure it out soon enough," Luz whispered back.
