The Park, Very late Wednesday night

[honoraryphd.livejournal.com]

Doctor Doom was in the park. With a shovel. In the middle of the night, long after radio. With a number of devices in hand.

As you do.

There was nothing suspicious about this at all.

After cleaning up his mess, he wandered vaguely in the direction of the pond. He had more work to do if he wanted to complete his plan on schedule.

[OOC: Hey, look at that. NFI, NFB, establishy, etc. One day Doom will actually make radio again. Silly villain.]

Wonders of the World, Thursday

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

After spending some time doing routine maintenance on the pyramids, Lucas settled behind the counter. Feeling a little bored, he started rummaging through to see what he could find to entertain him since he'd forgotten his book. He located blood red nail polish, an old copy of In Style magazine, and some sort of thong that he prayed had not been worn. Especially not by Andrew.

Pizza Planet, Thursday

[notreallyagirl.livejournal.com]

Tom had told him about the quarters behind the fridge so, after he’d gotten everything set up and opened the store for the day, Makoto snagged a few quarters and wandered over to the video games.

Because they needed testing, of course.

Groovy Tunes, Thuersday

[meetingsnoopy.livejournal.com]

Melody kept the flower in her hair today, even though she had opted for a tee instead of the bikini.

The music: soundtracks to Elvis Presley movies.

Groovy Tunes was open.

Pixie Dust, all day

Isabel had her coffee and a few novels to keep her entertained for the day.

Pixie Dust was open.

Luke's Diner, February 7 (Thursday)

[queen-of-zagreb.livejournal.com]

There was a huge table in the middle of the diner today with what looked like a very large 3-D topographical map of the U.S. on it -- Yitzhak and the busboy, in a rare and disturbing show of agreement, had finally had it with the cook's epic geography skills fail. (He persisted in thinking that it was just a quick hop across the state line from Colorado to Tennessee. Yitzhak had probably traveled every crappy back road to stay in every roach-trap motel in the lower 48 and felt that if he knew this stuff, the cook seriously had no excuse.) To that end, they'd made him cook up a batch of fifty pancakes in the shapes of the states and assemble them.

. . . then Yitzhak had gotten distracted by piling fresh fruit on the arrangement for mountain ranges, dusting confectioner's sugar on top of the berries for snow, and drawing out rivers and lakes with blueberry syrup.

At the moment, he was using a pair of tweezers to put chocolate chips on the pancake map in the approximate locations of all the towns he'd visited while touring with Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

One might almost think he was having fun.

Luke's is open, and no, he's really not having fun. Honest.

No, seriously.

The Arms Hotel Lobby, Thursday [2/7]

[montecito-east.livejournal.com]

Mary was in a really good mood because she had the best boyfriend ever. With one week to go before Valentine's Day, she was putting together a bunch of package deals for the hotel. She had a feeling that she and George Michael may need to test drive them before Valentine's Day.

Magic Box, Thursday

Ami unlocked the store and turned the lights on. It was a cold day, but it was going to be all good. She settled behind the counter with her cup of tea and a book.

Our Lady of Fandom, Thursday all day

[no-archangel.livejournal.com]

Gabriel had spent the early morning trying to compose a letter to God, arguing that his confinement to this island was undeserved and, although it wasn't his place to critizise the ways of the Lord, after millenia of devoted service perhaps an explanation was in order. True, they hadn't been talking much lately, but that was only because they both had been incredibly busy. Right?

No letter ever got finished. It pained Gabriel to admit it, but he was very close to understanding what Job had been going on about.

Bluth's Original Frozen Banana Stand, Thurs., 2/7

[george-m-bluth.livejournal.com]

George Michael strutted to work today. He strutted as well as anyone did who really didn't know what strutting looked like. He was the man. He was the man and he owned a banana stand.  Hoooorahhh!

"Get away from me Eddie," he said to the seagull who was marching back and forth in front of the stand. "I said get away from me you dumb bird. I am in a good mood and I will cut you down. I will cut you down all the way to... um, China town. Do not mess with me, Eddie!"

Eddie flapped his wings, took off, and nose dived straight for George Michael.

"Aaaaaaaaa!" Flailing, he ducked behind the counter.

Turtle and Canary, Thursday [2/7]

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Valentine's Day was fast approaching, which meant the dance was coming up, and Sokka was thinking about whether to take anyone, and what to wear, and how best to attract the ladies.

But it ALSO meant that the store was full of candycandycandycandycandy.

So, in addition to his usual Squishy, Sokka had behind the counter with him a very tall stack of heart-shaped boxes of chocolates he'd bought. And a very sick stomach.


Today's Squishy flavors: Red, Pink, Beef Jerky

Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center, Thursday

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

There was only a mild hint of a frown on Cable's face when he sat down to listen to the radio broadcast again. By the time he'd thrown the Open sign on the door, there was little trace of it.

He moved quietly into the meditation room.

The Park, Wednesday night

[fh_extras]

Sometime, in the dark of the night, the wind changed.

A warm breeze blew in off the water, leaves and flowers and seeds from another world tumbling in its wake. They drifted, carefree and shining, to settle on the earth.

It was winter, a time when the earth sleeps until spring, but still they found a place to grow. Overnight, the seeds sprouted, sent tendrils shooting down into the ground and drew forth what they found there. They joined together, twining around each other, each slender shoot giving the others the strength to grow tall and strong, weaving together into a trunk then separating again to form branches.

As the sun rose, and the first rays of light brushed across the new tree, flowers began to appear, petals unfurling slowly. Bright pink, with something of the look of a cherry blossom, they reflected the glow of the sun. The trunk grew warm to the touch, and it would stay that way, no matter how dark or cold the world grew around it.

Its flowers would always bloom and, as if it breathed in sadness and fear, transforming them into hope and peace, no one could be unhappy who walked beneath it.

[ooc: simply establishing, but the tree is now there, and may be interacted with in your posts.]

Caritas [Thursday evening]

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

When Robin wandered into Caritas on Thursday evening, Tino was nowhere to be found, but a note regarding his shunning of Robin was on the bar.

Evidently he'd discovered he'd have to work next Thursday for her.
