Wonka's Sweet Shoppe, Saturday

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

Ivanova opened up the store and set out the April Fools sweets, surpressing sniffles. There was a whole range of things that Tonks had left and Ivanova didn't know what half of them did. She certainly wasn't going to try any of them herself. The Canary Creams looked especially dodgy. Once that was done, she sat behind the counter, leaned against the wall, and stared off into space.

[[Wizarding Wheezes fully moddable. If you can think it up, Wonka's stocks it. Because we're cool like that.]]

Edmund came in carrying a tray of coffee and scones from J,GOB. "Good morning."

Ivanova opened her eyes and straightened up, her eyes widening appreciatively at the offerings. "Morning, Edmund."

"I thought I would assure myself that you were alive and moving this morning before returning to the hotel. I doubt I will have as interesting a time as yesterday."

"I didn't look that bad on our handwaved walk back to school," she murmured defensive. "Do you need a hand again today? I can probably get away for a bit . . ."

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

"You never look bad. Occasionally you look hungover, which was more my concern." Because I would have missed out on getting drunk with you.

"If you have time today, I'm certain that the Arms' guests could use assistance with deflating their senses of self-importance."

"I didn't actually drink much last night. I just went to bed." She smirked. "Now that is assistance I am very willing to provide. I wonder if I can get more property damage out of them today . . ."

Pippi flounces into Wonka's some time after Blackadder leaves.

"Hi!"

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

Ivanova nodded with a slight smile. "Hello."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi's eyes fell on the joke candy.

"Hey! I remember this stuff!" she grinned at Ivanova, "What does it all do again?"

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

Ivanova chuckled a bit. "To be honest, I can't even remember. The Canary Creams supposedly turn you into canaries. We have foaming chewing gum, ton-tongue toffees . . ." she went on to list only about half of what they had.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"The effects of these only last an hour yeah?" asked pippi grabbing some foaming chewing gum, ton-toungue toffees, Pepper Imps, and Peppermint Toads.

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

"Yes, they should." Ivanova paused. "At least, I hope so. Our resident witch is rather less than resident at the moment so troubleshooting might be a problem."

[[Isn't it spelt 'Aloysius'?]]

After Pippi

Alphonse decided to drop by today as well to visit Ivanova. He always meant to come and check the place out, and today he happened to be free. "Hello, Ivanova!" he greeted her.

Ivanova managed a smile for him, too. It was getting easier. "Hey, Alphonse."

Alphonse went to lean against the counter and looked around the shop, a little surprised about the amount of sugary stuffs on the shelves. "Awful lot of candies in here," he mused. This should've been expected, because duh, candy shop. He turned back to Ivanova, "Do you usually work here by yourself?"

Re: After Pippi

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

"No. Usually Tonks is with me." Her face and voice were perfectly blank when she said it.

Re: After Pippi

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

Alphonse internally winced at that as he remembered their conversation the other night. She mentioned Tonks was leaving... Maybe that 'soon' was sooner than he thought. "Sorry," he apologized.

Re: After Pippi

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

"Don't be. You didn't do anything wrong," she said, slightly more harshly than she meant to. She took a breath and her shoulders slumped. "Now I'm the one who's sorry. I didn't mean to snap."

After Alphonse...

Victor came in and looked for Ivanova. In his hand was a single white carnation.

Re: After Alphonse...

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

Wow. She never had such a busy shift before.

"Hey, Victor," she murmured in a blank sort of voice. "Walter sucking up for something?"

Re: After Alphonse...

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

Walter sucking up for...huh? Oh, the carnation!

"Actually, no," he repleid, holding the flower out to Ivanova. "I brought this for you. I...heard about what happened with Tonks on the radio. I'm sorry."

Re: After Alphonse...

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

Ivanova blinked, surprised. "Oh! Oh, thank you." She took the carnation automatically, twirling the stem between her fingers, focusing on it as she replied. "Yes. Tonks. She's gone and everyone's sorry."

Re: After Alphonse...

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"But it doesn't change the fact that she's gone, does it?" Victor replied with an understanding nod. When Jean-Paul died, so many people were "Sorry for my loss". But how many truly understood what I was going through? Of course, he didn't tell Ivanova that. She needed cheering up, not depressing. "I have no idea what I could do to help, Ivanova, but if you need anything, just let me know, okay?"

A girl in red and black skips past, chucking a grendade into the candy shop.

Who doesn't need a laugh every now and again, right?

"April Fool, suckas!"

Ivanova's eyes snapped open, she dove for the grenade, and discovered that the pin was still in. She glared down the street after the jolly jester, muttering dire things in Russian.

And holding onto the grenade in case she needed it later.
