Town Hall, Friday

[iqof39.livejournal.com]

D'Argo was actually doing some real work today. Or at least trying to. He'd gotten into the paperwork and was trying to make sense of it, but the problem was that none of it did.

This was why he'd avoided it in the first place.

Bluth's Original Frozen Banana Stand, Fri., 1/11

[george-m-bluth.livejournal.com]

George Michael came to work yawning. And he yawned every minute or so it seemed. He was up late last night. Very late. Did they even sleep? Mary was a hellion, a she-cat, "Rrrrrrrawr."

His body was sore, his mind devoid of rational thinking.

... and there was snow? Lot's of snow. White fluffy stuff that he could play in. There was no snow in California.

Maybe he could just hand out snow bananas.

Yeah, he was tired.

NOW HIRING!!

Book Haven - Friday

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir had utterly cheated getting here.

Layers sounded like a good plan for snow, but when you only have one set of clothes, they're not so much an option. He did have more than one cloak, of course, but he'd only eyed the black one a few times before settling with just the blue. Then he'd looked down at his feet and the very unwaterproof boots there. Wet feet, he knew from experience, could put him up in bed for a week and he didn't have the time for it.

Broom. Definitely the broom, he'd decided. And as such, someone had probably wondered what the low-flying shivery blue ball on the janitorial equipment might be. But he was here now, just the tiniest bit early since he wanted to make sure he could get there on time with the snow.

He opened the shop, put his things neatly beneath the counter (as he'd never seen a clerk with a quiver on his back), and hoped that Millie showed up before any customers did.

[ooc:OCD up!]

Ching Tai, Friday Evening

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

Andrew was meeting Michael here tonight for dinner. He went ahead and ordered two waters and a pot of hot green tea as soon as he got there. Andrew also grabbed a bottle of sriracha sauce from a neighboring table, knowing that the other boy liked things spicy.

He hoped Michael wouldn't have any trouble finding it with all the snow.

[ooc:Up early for SP and timezone wonderment!]

Groovy Tunes; Friday [ 01/11 ]

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad came into work wondering what sort of project he could do today to make life easier for people. His usual solution of taking care of really high up things didn't seem like an option, because there currently didn't seem to be anything. He figured maybe he'd go through the shelves in between customers, then, and make sure everything was still alphabetically ordered.

He got half-way through the the Cs before he decided that he really didn't want to do do this, so he just went back behind the counter and played his guitar.

Groovy Tunes is open!

Luke's Diner, January 11 (Friday)

[queen-of-zagreb.livejournal.com]

It was snowing. Snowing. Yitzhak? Totally dressed for it.

Diner? Totally open. And warm.

Glittery Help Wanted sign? Totally still in the front window.

Today's Specials
The Anne Murray
(Rotisserie Chicken with Mashed Potatoes and Buttermilk Biscuit)
The Angie Stone
(Frosted Flakes)
The Randy Newman
(BLT Sandwich)

Yeah, so he was stretching on that last one, but he always wanted to name a menu item the Randy Newman.

Luke's is open, and no, the light's not sparkling off the snow in here; it's sparkling off Yitzhak's incredibly rhinestone-studded belt. Sheesh. Some people.

Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center, Friday

[the_merriest]

It was Rikku's first shift on Friday, hooray for Cable letting her switch! Hooray for all the new goodies she picked up in the Omega Ruins! Hooray for armor, which she hadn't worked on in ages!

Hmmm, armor. She wondered if her boss ever thought of expanding out into the armor line, to go along with all those weapons. She'd have to ask him.

In the meantime, the Wellspring Arms and Meditation Center was open.

Magic Box, Friday

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

Giles shook the snow from his coat as he walked into the shop. The years in southern California had got him away from expecting weather of pretty much any kind and so things like snow struck him with a nostalgic novelty.

It meant that he was in a rather good mood when he put on some tea to brew and opened the shop.

Atlas Gym [mid-morning]

[sith_happened]

It might have taken most of the early morning to meditate himself out of a hangover, but using the methods Obi-Wan had finally taught him once he'd become a Jedi Knight, Anakin was able to trotted through the snow and down to the gym well before the time he was scheduled to meet Jaina.

Who hadn't hit on him the night before, thank the Force. Yeesh.

Love Will Come Through - Travis

The Perk, Friday afternoon [1/11]

[mike-cannon.livejournal.com]

Mike Cannon was a man of science. He believed in rational explanations and he was also a meteorolgy enthusiast. That's why Mike was currently hunkered down with his laptop browsing NOAA, the National Weather Service, and the Weather Channel's web sites, trying to figure out how it could be snowing. His caramel latte would probably get cold before he gave up.

[Open for all your caffeine-related needs! Come break Mike's brain with more talk of Fandom weirdness!]

Pixie Dust, Small Friday Shift

[tinkerbitch.livejournal.com]

All right, it was perhaps nearer to 2:30 when Tink arrived at Pixie Dust, but the rich girl from class was expecting that, right? Hungover pixies could never be anywhere on time. And there was shopping inside and lots and lots of shoes and Tink had needed to stop for a few drinks and then a couple more bottles and, well, let's just be happy she had made it here at all. Right?

But shopping! Shopping was totally worth opening an extra shift for. Because shopping was beautiful and pure and right and all that was good with the world.

( cut for image )

Pixie Dust was open, for an abbreviated afternoon shift.

(OOC: she opened the store for Dōjima, but it's totally open for anybody who might drop in. At least, from 2:30 until 5 or so, when Tink is going to get bored and leave again.)

The Arms Hotel Lobby, Friday

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River lay on her back on the desk, staing up at the ceiling thoughtfully. She had placed a towel elephant on her chest.

Welcome to the Arms Hotel!

Our Lady of Fandom, Friday all day

[no-archangel.livejournal.com]

The creepy guy in the church was nowhere to be seen, but as usual there was a cat lying on the altar looking like she owned the place. Which in her opinion she probably did.

[The church is open]

Caritas - Friday evening [1/11]

[all4thewookiees.livejournal.com]

Jolee knew that he should have only rented those utility droids that he had bought for New Year's. They would have spared him the sight he was currently watching: Tino wearing a cowboy hat and riding one of the T1 units around the bar.

He wasn't sure why Tino was doing this. He could find out, of course, but he didn't want to know. He assumed it was just to get on his nerves. Tino should have known that a cowboy hat and misappropriation of droids weren't necessary for that.

[OOC: I don't know.]

The Park - Late Friday Evening

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

Wilson was out in the snow, mostly because he couldn't stand not to be. It was a little strange being on his own but he smiled at the blanket of white and playfully scuffed his feet along, rolling little snowballs with his toes.

Eventually, he wandered down to the bench by the pond. Brushing off the seat with the tails of his overcoat, he sat down and leaned back to enjoy the quiet for a bit.

[ooc: Parks are always open things]

All Around the Island, Friday

[ismyhairout.livejournal.com]

Even though it was significantly warmer on the mainland, Fandom had a chill in the air. Late last night, the snow had started to fall and by the time the sun rose, the island was blanketed in a good foot of snow. The streets weren't entirely blocked off, but getting around was going to be more difficult than usual and there was definitely enough for a snow fight. That is, if anyone was so inclined.

The snow had eased off come morning, but it was expected to fall again on and off throughout the day. It was probably a good day to wear layers.

[OOC: SNOW DAY! Enjoy :)]
