Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center, Thursday

[shiroi_tiger]

Algren was actually in an almost pleasant mood today as he opened up the Wellspring Arms. It was difficult to say if he'd just happened to get up on the right side of the bed today, or if horrors that were burned into his mind all to recently had finally begun to fade, but either way? He was going about cleaning around the store efficiently... And he wasn't even scowling!

What he wasn't telling anyone, for fear of jinxing it, was that he was just relieved that the worst that the island had thrown at him recently was a day of humming.

Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center is open!

Talk To Algren

[shiroi_tiger]

You'll likely get civil conversation in turn!

Which would be a good thing, everything considered.

Of course, the husky hurtling himself down the stairs ahead of his master probably had other plans.

Plans that involved Algren's feet.

Dog! Large dog, incoming!

Which Algren was actually fine with. It wasn't a zombie, it wasn't an alligator, and it wasn't a gremlin, and so his reaction, after the initial moment of shock, was a faint grin as he bent over to offer Tether a friendly pat on the head.

"Well, good day to you, too."

Re: Talk To Algren

Tether responded by leaning his head on what space of leg he could manage to acquire (it was a gift) and panting in what could have been a response, or could have been the simple canine response to opening up your trap when it was warm, hot, or something shiny just passed on by and he was hoping to get at it with his tongue eventually.

"Morning," Cable called, stepping down the stairs.

Re: Talk To Algren

Algren did not have a soft spot for friendly dogs. Honest. He was going to just crouch a little in order to better reach with both hands to scratch behind Tether's ears.

"It is that," he agreed, nodding faintly as he glanced up toward Cable. "And how is it treating you so far?"

Re: Talk To Algren

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"Peaceful, so far," Cable allowed, passing into the store with a cup of coffee. "We'll see if that holds." Not that he was paranoid. He was just stating a fact.

Tether leaned into all the scratching. This was why he loved the store, honestly.

"Fandom has been more or less quiet for a week now," Algren agreed with a faint nod of his head and some almost playful messing up of the fur behind Tether's ears. "It's about due to throw us all for a loop again. The worst we've had lately is animate inanimate objects and a particularly musical Thursday, so it should probably be looking to make up for lost time."

He was paranoid, yes. And a firm believer that this island existed for the sole purpose of attempting to break the minds of the people residing upon it. Why?

Re: Talk To Algren

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

Cable should tell him a few stories about 616, some day. Even Tony Stark's world didn't quite measure up to 616.

"Some of the students would argue with you that that 'musical Thursday' was definitely the worst," he said, wryly, "An enemy is easier if you can hit it..."

Re: Talk To Algren

[shiroi_tiger]

"I still have a special place in my heart set aside for the zombies," Algren noted, almost dryly. "I'll take an afternoon of humming the Garry Owen over that mess in an instant."

Sure, he could have hit them, but he would just as soon the dead choose to remain as such.

A combination of a weird (and not, frankly, very good) week and the realization it had been months since he spoke to Nathan had Tyler in the shop today, eying the guns like a man who would never actually buy one. (Which he was.)

"Hey, Nathan. How's work?"

Re: Talk To Algren

[shiroi_tiger]

"It's a job," Nathan replied, smirking faintly. It had been a while, hadn't it? "Leave it to me to seek out employment at the one business in town that refuses to sell what it purports to be peddling."

There was a wry sort of note in his tone that suggested that he was actually quite alright with the idea.

"And how have you been lately? No more antics with a neckerchief?"

Re: Talk To Algren

[tyler_gone]

"Little short on antics in general," Tyler said. "Unless singing is an antic. 'Sbeen quiet. We made tree cannons in class this week."

He looked at the display case again. "So you work in more a weapons museum than a gun store."

Re: Talk To Algren

[shiroi_tiger]

"Essentially, yes." Nathan's gaze followed Tyler's, settling on the items in the case. "It sounds as though you've been working with more active munitions than I have, lately. Aside from a brief trip to London, I haven't really handled a loaded weapon in some time."

There was something the matter with that. He'd have to speak to Triela about perhaps starting the Girls With Guns Club up again in the fall.

Re: Talk To Algren

[tyler_gone]

"I've been watching students work with Danger Shop munitions," Tyler demurred. "Can't let them blow themselves up."

"What's in London?"

Re: Talk To Algren

[shiroi_tiger]

"Blowing up the students would mean entirely too much paperwork," Nathan agreed, albeit dryly. And then a pause.

"London was..." He furrowed his brow a little as he thought back to his excursion with Wilhelmina and Minsc. "It was messy. Another case of Fandom snatching unsuspecting individuals off and flinging them at an alternate world, I should hope. Unless in this reality, there just happened to be a massive alien invasion on London about a century ago that I haven't had the pleasure of reading about quite yet."

"Kang and Kodos and their friends," Tyler deadpanned. "Impersonated the prime minister for weeks before they got caught. I'm surprised it never came up before."

He was not, apparently, above recounting Sampsons plots as gospel to his poor time-displaced colleague.

"I'm gonna guess everyone got back okay?"

Meditation Room

[shiroi_tiger]

Mod your own zen!

Shooting Range

[shiroi_tiger]

But only if you have permission from Cable!

OOC

[shiroi_tiger]

I'm 26 tomorrow. The heck, now I feel old or something.

As an early birthday present to myself, I finally got around to uploading a meditation icon. I now have an icon suited to all of my Wellspring OCD! Hurrah!

Re: OOC

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

Early happy birthday to uuus~~

Ahem.

Re: OOC

[shiroi_tiger]

We're awesome 24-7, yo!

Re: OOC

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

We keep on rockin' all day and all night!

Re: OOC

[shiroi_tiger]

And we very well can, as we have the timezones well covered! *fistbump*

Re: OOC

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

*FISTBUMP*

Well, it'd be a shame if the world had to go on without us, man.

Re: OOC

[shiroi_tiger]

It really would. Little do those silly Americans know, our timezones are not, in fact, fake. They are placed on this Earth for the sole purpose of Equal Awesomeness Distribution.
