Pixie Dust, Wednesday

[notclueful]

Cher got to work fashionably late (five minutes), carrying a Rock Star energy drink. She'd picked it just for the name. Ignore the faces that she made as she sipped at it. Sure, it tasted like ass, but it was probably an acquired taste, like...

Okay, it tasted like ass. She'd just finish this one because she needed the energy kick and she'll have learned her lesson. Good thing she didn't check the nutrition info.

Photo Hut, Wednesday, 9/19

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny felt like mega crap. He sauntered into the Hut and parked his butt in a chair behind the counter. It's where he was staying all day.

Luckily he missed the radio due to being passed out on his bed or he would have wondered about Jeff calling him a harlot. A harlot? Yeah... okay, maybe. Wait. No. That was before his girlfriend. 

He closed his eyes and leaned his head into his hand. Maybe he'd set himself on fire... he just couldn't summon the energy yet.

The Photo Hut is open.

Millie set out treats for the customers and opened the store.  Then she settled in to enjoy her latest book find while she waited to be helpful. 

Luke's Diner; Wednesday [ 09/19 ]

[by137.livejournal.com]

The Post-It notes were safe today. Heck, even the specials board was safe today, because A.J. had a lot of new designs and scenes to work on for the graphic novel and they were promptly consuming all of his time. Which was good, because he had a lot of things he had to think about. Occasionally, he would stop drawing and drift off, confused and trying to figure things out to no avail, but, for the most part, the smooth lines and comic action kept him good and distracted.

Today's Specials:
Reuben Burger (everything the same except hamburger instead of corned beef)
Red Pepper Hummus (with either pita points or blue corn chips)
ChocoCaramelCoffee Milkshake

Luke's is open.

Bluth's Original Frozen Banana Stand

[george-m-bluth.livejournal.com]

 George Michael had his first beer last night. It was gross. It was gross at first. Kind of smelled like bananas half way through it. Didn't matter; he had it and now he felt a bit more manly thanks to Dick. 

Not Dirty.

He was chopping nuts again and whistling, ignoring Eddie today who seemed to be chasing the female seagulls. Or whatever.

Fandom Post Office, Wednesday (09/19)

[comelyhonour.livejournal.com]

She'd just mailed a packet of letters, and now Beauty already had new ones to write. Wondering if that was going to be the case every week, and marvelling at apparently newfound tolerance for socializing, she sat behind the desk of the post office and began a brand new set of letters home.

The post office is open for business.

Modern Feminism: From Susan B Anthony to Bea Arthur - Second Period - 09/19

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

There was a man in the classroom today.

He certainly spoke like Deadpool; even moved like him too! The pirate-y hook on his hand should have been a dead give away that it actually was Deadpool, really.

"Good morning pirates and pirate wenches-- which I mean in the least insulting way as there is no good term for female pirates that I know of!" He bounced just a little. "Today is International Talk Like a Pirate day and in honor of that day, we will be deviating from the lesson plan to learn about female pirates." As an afterthought he added, "Arrrr!"

"Two of the most notable are Anne Bonney and Mary Read. Who, oddly enough, knew each other," Deadpool told them with a small grin. "Of all the gin joints of all the world, they happened upon each other. Only without the Cinemax after dark soft core kinda entertainment following said meeting." Which was a real shame. Would have made history so much more interesting. "Anne Bonney left her husband to go be a pirate with her lover, John 'Calico Jack' Rackham. Which just makes me think of whiskers on kittens when I hear that name. And brown paper packages tied up with string."

Deadpool sighed fondly. "Oh, Julie Andrews, is there anything you don't make better?"

"Anyway! Anne, with her new husband, went on to become a moderately successful pirate, only famous because she lacked the Y chromosome. Sad but true. Then a new sailor joined the crew, a woman disguised as a man. This would be Mary Read, who had been raised mostly as a boy from childhood so the whole cross-dressing thing was normal for her." Deadpool paused there to give Jude if he's there a suspicious look. "Becoming friends with this new pirate and promising to keep her secret, Anne soon found herself under suspicion of adultery by her new husband. Which, granted would be all kinds of sexy, was so very wrong, so he was let in on the secret."

"This Three's Company of piracy didn't last long though, as they were soon captured by the British Navy and set to hang for there crimes," Deadpool continued. "Anne and Mary mysteriously got pregnant before they could be sentenced and were allowed to wait for the children to be born before the hanging could happen. Such an angry judge. Anyway! Mary died in prison of a fever and Anne disappeared from record. Some say she's still haunting the Caribbean, looking for more female piiiiiarates!"

He waved dismissively. "No they don't, I just think that would be cool and very Scooby Doo if it was true. Enjoy the day of piracy!"

The Arms Hotel Lobby, Wednesday

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

Hoshi came in for her shift and sat down at the front desk. She was warily keeping an eye on Gunther, who was sitting around the lobby keeping an eye on her. This went on for five minutes before Hoshi finally asked him, in German, "//Would you like me to show you a Japanese dish?//"

That was all she needed to say. Gunther was thrilled to find someone else who spoke German and would not shut up as Hoshi taught him the fine art of making gyoza.

Welcome to the Arms Hotel!
Today's Special

Chilly Boulder - Wednesday, all day

[fh-anonymous.livejournal.com]

A large sign in the window of the ice cream shop proclaimed that they were giving away free samples of a new flavor today.

Mixed in with their usual shipment of ingredients, the workers had found a box labeled 'Extra Special Pirate Rum'. Unlike some others in Fandom, their first instinct was to add it to ice cream and make rum raisin ice cream. Since the supply was limited, they couldn't add it to the regular menu and they decided to hold a one day promotion. If the flavor proved popular, they could request more of the rum from their ingredients supplier.

So, for one day only, Fandomites could receive a free one scoop cone of the new flavor.

From the way the workers were talking, it appeared as if they were getting into the theme for the day too. Unless, of course, there was another reason.

[[OOC: Free ice cream! One day only! Non-monitored post so mod your own worker. The only stipulation is that they are all talking like pirates. Yes, that'd right, anyone who eats the ice cream will talk like a pirate for the rest of the day. Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day!]]

Turtle & Canary; Wednesday [ 09/19 ]

[fastestkidalive.livejournal.com]

Bart was very busy today, trying to help make posters for Turtle's run for Student Council.

It was difficult when he kept doodling little pirates all over the posters. Hmmm... Maybe if he drew a pirate Turtle!

Magic Box, Wednesday [ 09/19 ]

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

Andrew unlocked the door and said, "Arrgh. The store be open!"

His pirate accent was pretty sad.

Caritas, Wednesday evening

[iqof39.livejournal.com]

For the last hour, D'Argo had been trying to work the phone. He'd never had to use it before. And apparently dialing numbers at random and asking for "Massapippi" did nothing to help.

Tino found it really hilarious though.

[Somehow I got hugely busy tonight. Plz to be modding Tino.]

Nast Sporting Goods [9/19]

[bigbrothersean.livejournal.com]

This is Sean, not working himself to death. No, really. His sister won't let him, you know.

Seriously, though, he's just sort of meandering around the shop.

[Wait for the OCD is up!]

Movies in the Park, Wednesday at Dusk (09/19)

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Just before dusk, the temporary movie screen is set up, with a big grassy area in front to provide seating space. A few people have arrived early to share picnic suppers, and to visit with their friends.

[OOC: The movie begins at dusk, and the screen will be removed afterwards. OCD threads will be are up for your movie-going use. Anyone who needs the park for other purposes will find that the outdoor cinema takes up only a portion of the park, with plenty of space available for non-movie needs.]

Devil's Nest, Wednesday Night 9/19

[sound-loyalty.livejournal.com]

Kabuto was surprised to find that the bar was actually clean when he came in. This was a plus, of course, because it meant that he could devote more time to research when there were no customers. The Mad Science class was really making him want to actually do things again. It didn't hurt to look through some of the things he'd been working on in the past to see if any of them warranted picking up again.

The Playground, Wednesday, late morning.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"I hereby claim this playground in the name o' No Beard the Pirate!" Billy, dressed in a close approximation to pirate clothes, and wearing a peg leg instead of his prosthesis, waved a nerf sword, in one hand, and a bottle of, something that wasn't rum in the other.

No sooner than he'd spoken however, when there was the sudden sound of a gong (played from the small stereo set up on one of the benches) and a weetiny green figure, dressed in a weetiny ninja outfit hopped up on top of the monkey bars, brandishing a plastic katana.

"I think not."

"Oh noes! The ninjas have unleashed their secret cute-fu master!"

"Hi keeba!" Ninja!Robin hopped from the monkey bars to the slide, (flipping on the way) and landed precariously on the railing. Billy steadied him. The treacherous ninja thanked him softly, then with a swipe of his blade, knocked the sword from No Beard's hand, then with a kick, sent him backwards down the slide.

"Aaaarrrrrrrr!!!" Fortunately he didn't spill any of his not rum.

[open! Come watch or join in the fun!]

The Playground, Wednesday Afternoon

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"I win!" The Wee Ninja crowed, and danced a jaunty jig.

"I say thee nay!" Billy growled, leaping to his feet, and then losing his balance because, hey, peg leg, no knee joint. "I'm okay!"

"That was Norse God, not pirate."

"Silence! A pirate cannot be defeated by a ninja on Talk Like a Pirate Day! By the very fact of yer victory and the jaunty jig ye jived, I know ye fer what ye are! Ye're a pirate!"

"Aye!" Robin giggled, removing the ninja outfit. "It is I, CAPTAIN RALSE, SCOURGE OF THE 8TH SEA!" Wow that volume hadn't been easy. While he recovered, he slapped on his twirly mustache and a pirate bandanna.

[ooc: Open! Come watch or join in the fun!]

Book Haven: Thursday 10-5PM [9-20-07]

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana opened the bookstore and set out treats for the customers. She wondered if this would be another quiet day where she could get most of her homework done before the weekend.

The Arms Hotel Lobby, Thursday

[montecito-east.livejournal.com]

Mary wasn't at the front desk today. Nearly everyone in housekeeping called in sick. Supposedly the flu was going around, but Mary also heard rumors about the head of housekeeping throwing a wild party. Either way, Mary was stuck washing what felt like a million loads of sheets and towels before heading to actually clean the rooms that her few remaining maids didn't get to.

Gunther was cooking up a feast in the kitchen. Anything to get out of having to scrub toilets in guest rooms.
