Chaucer's, Saturday evening

[soniabelmont.livejournal.com]

Now that Ludwig's moved out into his own place, Sonia's had her first full night of sleep in over a week. The bags are gone from her eyes, and she's visibly more energetic than earlier; if anyone were close enough, they might even hear her humming what sounds suspiciously like Little Bunny Foo Foo.

She unlocks the door to Chaucer's shop, and finds the place empty and dark. Cautiously shuffling across the floor, she manages to find a lamp, then settles down to her desk to work. Her first commission for Chaucer is finally finished, so she sets herself on the next project- a new sign for the shop.

[OOC: geoff_chaucer, wasn't sure if you got email notification, so this seemed like the best way to get your attention. Oh, and thread open to anyone who feels like chatting. :D]

Sunday Mass is in a couple of hours.

[feck-arse-girls.livejournal.com]

The priest strides up to the door of the church, looking down with distaste at the small group of frogs sat near the front steps. He walks through the church to the vestry.

The frogs hop up the stairs after him. A small, animated group assemble on one of the front pews, and there is much croaking.

The priest's head pokes out of the door of the vestry, and he casts a baleful eye at his green visitors.

Feck off!

He retreats once more to the vestry, and starts to prepare for mass.

More frogs arrive, in ones and twos. They have to start using the second row.

Witch Delivery Express Activity for Today

[kikidelivers.livejournal.com]

Kiki stops by Angelus' room to pick something up, and then heads downtown to Deb's Diva Dive to speak to Deb.

Sunday -- the Emporium is open

[bens-mikey.livejournal.com]

Michael goes ahead and flips the sign to "open" as he enters, but he's more concerned about what's happened to Paige as he and Lily help Paige inside. He tosses a blanket over the worn sofa in the back room so they can settle Paige in to rest.

Phale's Rare Books, Sunday

[flash-serpent.livejournal.com]

Crowley sits in the comfortable chair. His tea is getting cold beside him as he holds a card and a small glass jar sealed with wax. The inside swirls black and red. He can feel its anger and hatred and torment when he holds it tightly. He's never given me anything so very lovely. His tongue darts out, slithering against his upper lip. He drops his glasses slightly and looks at it, unfiltered. It's hideous. Delicious.


((The book store is open, but for now you won't get the comforting advice of Phale. No...not even kind of))

The Perkolator, Sunday PM

[janet_fraiser]

Sam and Janet walked into the coffee shop in search of the stuff of life caffeine.

In the Perk

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

[ooc: This takes place very shortly after sunset, around 5 PM FHT. Also, Vladdie won't make a mess if he's allowed in. He's very well-trained. But let me know if Ror should go put him outside]

Rory wanders into the Perk with Logan in her purse, and Vladdie on his leash. She orders her usual caramel macchiato, as well as some carrot cake for Logan. She settles down at a table, opens a notebook, and waits for her interviewees.

Echolls Residence - NFB, heh.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker walked into town, and after leaving the church, carefully made her way over to Echoll's place. She waited until she saw Jake and Krycek leave, then waited a little longer until the pirate was gone...

.. then used her key to let herself into Logan Echolls' house. After all, she did have permission to be there. But better safe than sorry.

She kept her thin leather driving gloves on, just in case someone wanted to get snippy about her being there later. Deny, avoid, alibi.

Vladdie was barking out in the garage, so she stopped by there first. "Who's a sweet lil' creature of the night? That's right, that's right. Who's a pretty bloodsucking fiend? You is!" Vladdie wriggled and barked some more as she petted him and scratched behind his ears, and he tried to follow her into the house. "No, no. Little vampire dogs don't want to get hurt with what I'm going to do. No, no." She pulled one of her new crosses out of her purse, and Vladdie whined and put his head down on his paws. "That's right. Bad mojo for baby bloodsucky puppies." She put it back in her purse, leaned down and patted him again. "Now, this is going to teach you not to jump on Logan's couch. So don't do that." She straightened up, chortling. "And teach someone else not to jump on Logan. Heh."

She was only looking out for Logan. And his roommates. And Rory, by extension. Just like any good slave would!

Humming, she wandered through the house, admiring the furnishings, noting the big screen TV, the stereo system, the wet bar... hmm.

One crucifix in the bar, right next to the glasses.

One stuffed down under the leather cushions of the couch, just like she told Vladdie.

One in the bathroom, under the towels in the cabinet.

One in the bedroom, under the mattress, near the headboard.

One in the kitchen, duct-taped under the table.

She debated putting one in the pool, but decided that it wouldn't actually turn all the water holy. Instead, she poured about a third of her bottle into the pool, and hoped that it would stay blessed for a while.

Parker turned around in the center of Logan's house, tapping a finger on her chin. "Where to put the last two...."

Finally, she put one under the mattress in the guest bedroom-- if she *did* stay there, she could use something like that in the coming week-- and one in the game room, taped to the bottom of the poker table.

Her work done, she popped some popcorn, let Vladdie out of the garage, and watched Sleepless in Seattle with him, mocking Meg Ryan mercilessly for another half hour, before putting Vladdie back in the garage, waving bye-bye, and going on to Luke's Diner.

In town Sunday Midday (ish)

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige and Lily walk into town, Paige looks terrified and exhausted, she's holding on to Lily's arm tightly and shaking, she's pretty sure the Evil one's going to kill her soon

"You bought your wand right? If it looks like she's gonna hurt someone you can protect them can't you?" She asks her eyes teary, "I don't want anyone else getting hurt."

Evil!Paige laughs inside her head well good luck with that plan!

((open to pretty much anyone, but I am trying to keep angst to a min now since Paige is likely to have a breakdown soon))

Spike's Pub - Sunday October 23

[pubkeeper.livejournal.com]

Spike opened the pub at 5 pm exactly, ponding the letter he was trying to write to Lilah, as at this rate he was never going to get over there....

The jukebox had started working again, although it seemed to be stuck on a Billy Joel kick, which had Spike wincing as he retreated behind the bar.


((OOC: Thread with Jonathan NFB due to Vampiric hearing and generally suspicious mind-set. This means you.))

On a Bench at the Park, Sunday Afternoon

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Geoff sits on a sunny bench in the park -- the same one, in fact, as yesterday. He's people-watching, but it almost looks as though he's watching for someone in particular.

Sunday Night

[flash-serpent.livejournal.com]

Crowley sits on the bench, alone. The angel needs to rest, and he can only stomach so many Regency "novels". He tosses bits of old scones to the duck.

[ADMIN] A Ruling on New Characters

[http://users.livejournal.com/_red_xiii_/]

Okay. I think something needs a bit of clarification before I go any further with the application processing. Please bear this in mind when you are applying for townieship and I will be going back through the applications and asking for this information, even of those I approved on Friday so…you are warned.

When fandomtownies first opened up, it was a free-for-all playground for the fandomhigh students to go and play. It gave them something to do outside of campus and it was a really good idea.

Something unexpected happened with fandomtownies. It began to grow. It began to take on a life and a personality. There were townies moving in and setting up businesses. These townies wanted interaction. They wanted to play too, yet didn’t want (for reasons that are individual) to play a student or teacher on the campus.

They opened businesses. The business owners took shape, fleshed out and developed.

We now have a thriving little community outside and separate from fandomhigh. Growing up, it needed stricter moderation, which it now has.

fandomtownies continues to grow and for this I’m glad. Townies are interacting with each other and with the students and I find this so very cool.

The problem that infested fandomtownies early on were businesses set up so that students had a place to hang but then were abandoned. Either the player left the game or they got tired/bored with it.

This is not conducive with where fandomtownies is heading. We are no longer a cardboard cut out town that people can frolic in and forget. There are players here making huge personal investments in helping the town come alive. Hence, the stricter application and review process.

As with all things that grow, I need to make some rules that are going into effect as of this moment or I am going to be overrun with problems as fandomtownies continues to go through her growing pains.

fandomtownies is for businesses and those people who make their visible support from the businesses contained there or at the campus. The business owners live there, some instructors and students live there.

It makes no sense to have individual characters with no means of visible support and who are waiting for campus enrollment to open to just show up in town. I will deny any individual character application made for the express purpose of killing time until enrollment opens up. This runs contrary to where fandomtownies is going now.

So, it’s very much a NO GO on comm jumping. No creating a townie to hang around town until the campus enrollment open and trying to get that character in school.

If you wish to make a townie character but don’t want them to own a business, watch the boards, see which businesses need/advertise for help. Contacting business owners to see if they have openings is okay too. Once they tentatively have employment, then apply for townie resident status.

Don’t forget, once I get a handle on the applications (sleep? What’s that?), applications will be reviewed for approval on Sundays only. There will be no on board interactions until your character is approved. Period.

Thank you for your patience through the time of growing for fandomtownies.
