Pixie Dust, Monday, 6/22

Romeo didn't realize until he got on the phone to try to schedule a swimsuit delivery that this was likely his last shift; next Monday would be taken up with packing and goodbyes.

He'd never much wanted this job -- he couldn't quite remember how Tink had talked him into taking it other than that there had been a lot of alcohol and a fire pit -- but, after eighteen months, it was a part of him.

Well. He'd make this last shift count. He pumped Kanye West through the store speakers then sampled from all of the bottles under the counter, including some of the scary bright-colored ones that smelled of perfume and flowers and hadn't been touched since Tink left. Once he was just intoxicated enough to be properly enthused by the task, he started weeding the ugliest clothes out for a proper bonfire. One green cropped top was too ugly to sell but not quite bad enough to burn; Romeo tossed it and a few bras in absurd sizes into a cardboard box in the alley for anyone who might want them, then lit a blue furry thing on fire.

It would be a good day.

Gabrielle had, thanks to rehearsal at the Boards last week, discovered coffee. The world, ancient, modern, or otherwise, might never be the same again.

She was on her way through town with a quintuple-shot mocha from the Perk, sugared within an inch of its life, whistling something that might have been a cheerful melody had someone with a non-tin ear been doing the whistling, when she happened to detour into the alley by Pixie Dust and spotted the cardboard box.

Maybe it was the caffeine. Maybe it was the sugar. Maybe it was a random and unrelated impulse. Who knows? The key thing here is that Gabrielle set her coffee down and started rifling through the box as if she was compelled by the power of Ngila Dickson magnetically drawn to that bizarre green top.

"Aha!" she exclaimed, holding it up triumphantly; it would add a nice but not impractical splash of color to her outfit, and looked like it would be a perfect fit. Picking her coffee back up, she boogied on out of the alley and back up to the dorms to do something wacky like wash it in the sink before she put it on.
