Oof, it’s been a while since our last status update...
Currently Posted Main Story (Tumblr links)
Office Gossip: Bulma and Jaco gossip instead of working.
Reading to Daddy: Most parents read to their children. Goku isn’t most parents and Gohan isn’t most children.
Boredom: Lapis no. (LAPIS YES)
A Judge of Character: Goku and Piccolo have history. It’s in Piccolo’s best interests that no one finds out about it. Especially Gohan.
Worst Patron of the Day: Krillin, Yamcha, and Tien would love their jobs so much more if it weren’t for the people.
A Human Resources Nightmare: Piccolo can only be expected to put up with so much. Unfortunately, Bulma has a few things to say about his interactions with patrons, and so does the new guy in HR.
Mr. Piccolo: Gohan has some questions about his dad and Mr. Piccolo. Piccolo has answers, but refuses to give them.
Author Visit: It's time for an author visit to the library, and it's someone Bulma knows well. Unfortunately, she has a bit of a quirk that can result in violent tendencies.
Nine Thousand and Eighty-One: The Technical Services department has been working hard recently. Maybe a little too hard...
First Comes Marriage: Gohan, Dende, and Videl are best friends. And best friends are supposed to get married, right?
Nature Break: Lazurite from Maintenance has gone missing again, and Bulma sends Lapis to find him.
Take Me Out: Everyone is fed up with Yamcha and Tien beating around the bush, including them.
Book Club: Senior women love nothing more than sticking their noses in other people's business, especially Yamcha's.
Staff Meeting: Staff meetings are usually boring as hell. Unless your HR guy is a bitch in a camo suit jacket.
Junior: Cell is a douchebag. His nephews are no better.
Next of Kin: Kami and Piccolo don’t get along. They never have. So Kami’s more than a little surprised when Piccolo shows up at his apartment demanding to know why he was just in the hospital–and, more specifically, why he didn’t tell Piccolo about it in the first place.
Paws Fur Reading: Everyone loves Bella, the reading therapy dog who comes to the library once a month through the school year. Maybe a little too much.
Harassment Policy: Lapis, Lazuli, and Lazurite need to have words with Bulma about Cell.
Cell’s Break Down: Cell is missing. So is Lapis.
Bedroom Eyes: After Piccolo and Nail start communicating regularly, some abrupt realisations are made. Yamcha cackles with glee in the background.
Mr. Mayor: After the absolute disaster that was their last Human Resources representative, the WCPL bigwigs are scrambling to find someone to take his place. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), the mayor has a..."suggestion."
The Hiring Process: The whole Cell disaster made one thing clear: WCPL needs a security team. Since they don't currently have a Human Resources manager to fall back on, Bulma and Jaco recruit Krillin and Nappa to help with interviews.
Orientation: The new staff members need to be shown around, and paperwork needs to be filled out. Vegeta couldn't care less about the new security staff, but the new Human Resources manager, on the other hand...he might pose a problem.
Wait For It: Chi-Chi needs a favour sometime in the next nine months.
Meet My Family: A few snippets from the love lives of Krillin and Lazuli.
Meet My Family Pt. 2: Goku has something to say to Krillin’s new girlfriend...
Totally Rad: Raditz has a long and complicated family history, and he has come to terms with exactly zero of it.
The Cat Came Back: Upa and Lazurite deal with a pest problem at the library. A rather destructive pest problem.
Red Ribbon: A censorship group has set their sights on WCPL. Bulma 100% doesn't need this right now.
The Ox Cafe: Just a look into the daily ongoings at WCPL from the point of view of the cafe next door.
Maternity Leave: Bulma is pretty far along in her pregnancy, and she's not going to be at work for much longer.
Currently Posted Side Stories (Tumblr links where applicable)
Once Upon a Time: Gohan is ten years old when Goku and Piccolo decide it's time to come clean to him about their shared past. It is fun for exactly none of them.
