Nipclub October 1st, 2026, Sekurity Update by Slinky, @Slinky_the_Cat, Sekurity Agent, Late Nite shift
Oct. 1 was Pumpkin Spice Day! Who knew? And it was already everywhere!
Gator was calling out the next shift’s staff just as I arrived, right on time. Moo greeted me with maple pecan pumpkin spice ice cream and pumpkin spice pancakes. I whispered and asked if she had anything that wasn’t pumpkin spice flavored.
Mizz Bassie arrived and greeted everyone; there were already 24 pals at the bar, including DJ K-Boi!
Pearl arrived for her shift and served pumpkin sammich cookies and some kind of orange-colored pumpkin-flavored beverage. Gator said it had rained at his house, as well as the huge rainstorm at Pearl’s home. Jakku had a lot of rain on Tuesday. It was epic; the storm was the dregs from cyclone Polo!
It seems like cooler weather is showing up for many now.
Hooray for autumn!
Mizz Bassie said Armani was doing better, but they’re still trying to get the insulin dose dialed in. Pearl’s new rescue kitty, Mr. Man, was doing well; she shared a photo of the orange boi relaxing.
TJS showed up early and greeted everyone.
Pearl served pumpkin wine along with fresh lobster over a bed of pumpkin risotto. I thought I would try it, as it at least sounded savory. The pumpkin wine sounded atrocious, though.
George the Duck showed up and hugged everyone. It was nice to catch up since we hadn’t seen him in a long time.
Jerry the Tuxedo showed up as well! It seemed like a million years since we’d seen him!
Pearl served more noms: pumpkin spice lasagna and dirty niptinis. I took the drink but passed on the lasagna. Then Pearl came over a few minutes later with my niptini and a pumpkin-shaped pepperoni pizza.
No pumpkin spice in sight!
It was heavenly! Mizz Bassie smelled the delicious pizza and grabbed a slice.
Angus and Louis arrived for LATE NITE tag team DJing as usual.
Pearl talked to Gator about a new Nipclub theme idea; she said that Oct. 20th is Cryptid Day! Gator said he had themes for the rest of the year but on Oct. 29th it is a monster movie theme, so maybe combine the two? I mentioned kaiju (Japanese monsters) to Pearl and Gator. We all agreed that more monsters would be good.
The music was playing, and we were all having a great time. Louis was playing autumnal music, including Frank Sinatra and Smashing Pumpkins, while Gator and I talked about various past Godzilla avatars while Pearl served some kind of pumpkin spice latte Jell-O shot monstrosity.
I just sipped my icy-cold dirty niptini, oblivious to the pumpkin spice all around me.
Moo came back while Pearl made cocktails free of pumpkin flavor or spice, so I took one and gestured for Moo to join me at the bar. Right after that, Pearl left for home, and I took over the bar, secretly knowing I would serve nothing with pumpkin spice. It will be my secret.
I served some Negroni cocktails (they’re at least orange-colored) and lobster mac and cheese while Gator and I talked about kaiju films like War of the Gargantuas.
Louis talked about a spooky music playlist and shared various ideas with us. Gator and I added a few songs to his list while I served more snacks, and he played more tunes. Louis played October by U2 as the last song while I served jalapeño poppers wrapped with prosciutto as we talked about going to out-of-town concerts.
Gator noted Nipclub was trending on X; Angus said we were trending as well! Awesomeness! We were all getting tired, so I offered noms to take home and to-go cups for the drinks.
It’s Nipclub, so we can do what we want!
We all talked a bit about live music and clearly, everyone was fading so we called it and put out the “We’re Closed” neon sign.
Time to head out.
Until next week!
