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 . . ."

Edmund wore a matching smirk. "I think that is a goal well worth the aspiration. And definitely something I would enjoy watching." He set the breakfast-to-go down on the counter and took a coffee for himself. "I will see you at the hotel then?"

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

Ivanova nodded, taking the other. "Yes, you will. Unless, of course, I decide to end it all and decide to fling myself off the roof of the shoppe." Deadpan, as always.

"I shall make sure to bring a large spatula should that happen." It would take more than that to faze him. Talking cats don't count!

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

"Your concern touches me," she murmured, but she was still smiling. "Thanks for the breakfast. Sometimes I forget to eat if I'm . . . if I've got something on my mind."

"Should you ever need a reminder for dinner, I am at your service." She was single now, right? So her girlfriend wouldn't come stick a knife in his back. Right?

Come to think of it, he didn't care anyway.

"Just call me before you jump, I shall have to go home for the spatula before coming to get you."

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

"You'll be the first to know," she assured him. "And I'll keep the dinner invite in mind."

He was such a good friend.

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

"Excellent. In that case, I am off for a leisurely walk to the hotel. Heaven forfend any of the guests have to wait for anything. I will see you there."

Edmund smiled warmly and strolled very slowly out of the shop.

"Bye, Edmund!" Ivanova smiled after him and set to work on one of the scones he had brought. He really was too good to her. Everyone. Blair brought her cake, Edmund brought her breakfast . . . She was going be crushed by a gigantic meteor this afternoon. She just knew it.

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'?]]

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Well, they're temporary at any rate." she says, "Of that I'm sure... Reasonably sure anyway."

Hers is an evil grin.

[[ooc: Yes, I think it is. I did that intentionally. It was funny in my head at the time.]]

"Do I have to pull out the disclaimer forms?" Ivanova's grin would have been a matching one, but her smiling muscles weren't working lately. So all Pippi got a weak little smile.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Only if I can show people the disclaimer after they partake of the candy."

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

"I can just pretend that I never sold you anything at all and then it's all on your head," Ivanova smirked.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"That may actually be the case at any rate!"
