Pixie Dust, Tuesday, Aug. 12

[withoutverona]

By some small miracle, Romeo did not get lost on his way to work.

He got lost inside the store instead. It was an odd feeling to go to the office to sort the mail and find yourself at the shoe display for no apparent reason, and the fact everything in the store was individually swathed in bubble wrap made it even harder for him to tell where he was.

His girlfriend the rabbit seemed to be laughing at him. "I should like to see you navigate," he told her, used by now to talking to a bunny.

Dojima giggled a wee rabbit giggle, then selected a bubblewrapped sweater as her temporary nest and curled up on it.

Pixie Dust was open.

Various streets in town, Tuesday mid-morn

"Come on, Cal, you're a hyena. Put that nose to good use and get us to J,GOB's, uh? I need a donut like now."

Cal looked up at Amber with doleful eyes, scratching at his t-shirt. 

"You need a bath. I had to put that on you to cover up the dirt you rolled around in yesterday. It's fine. You look fine."

Clearly Cal was not amused with his attire.  But he wanted a donut too so was permitting it with only a few hindleg itching.

"A bath. That's what you need." Hmm. "I might have to ask Ino to help me later with this. You need to smell better if you're going to keep sleeping on my bed." She raised her brows. "Maybe a bandana around your neck. Oooh, wouldn't that be cute? And don't worry about the naked part, hm?" Amber bent and ruffled his head. "I mean, it's like you got doggie parts right, and I'm not exactly going to wash all around in there even though I'm thinking it might feel good, yah?" She refrained from snickering.

"Anyway, come on, let's go. I'm starving." She tugged on his leash and they started walking again. Damn Fandom and her directionally challenged self.

[Can be open, yes. SP until after noon though as I have to run errands.]

Wellspring Arms, Tuesday

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

All the weapons were now covered in bubble wrap today. And, while this might have been fun for someone else, Temari was less than enthused over having to remove it.

Over and over and over.

Fandom was nothing if not persistent.

Turtle & Canary; Tuesday 8/12

[gkar-lastkhari.livejournal.com]

Apu was busy removing all the bubblewrap from the store's stock when the door to the back storeroom opened. He blinked in surprise as G'Kar walked in, wearing not his usual attire, but a pair of slacks and a shirt that he'd picked up from the store ... yesterday.

"Not. A Word."

Apu just nodded and went on unwrapping boxes of cereal while a rather grouchy G'Kar settled himself behind the counter.

Of course, all Squishys today come with the extra feature of being bubblewrapped for your convenience.

Stark Industries, Tuesday

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

After the kid from yesterday's insistence on the security being simple, Tony decided a few up-grades couldn't hurt.

Especially to Jarvis. He was being far too smug about things in a way he never originally programed the A.I. for.

Tony was torn between proud and alarmed.

The Boards - Tuesday - 8/12

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

Geoffrey had the door open and every single script he owned out on the floor of the theatre as he tried to figure out which one he'd do next. He sat in the middle of them, picking them up and thumbing through them, reading the notes and a few lines before putting them back down again when another faded, dog-eared cover caught his eye.

Yeah, the Boards is kind of open. Ish. The door is anyway.

The Arms Hotel Lobby, Tuesday [8/12]

[montecito-east.livejournal.com]

Mary was not amused this morning to find that every single piece of clothing she owned was wrapped in bubble wrap. She had no idea how it happened overnight while she slept, and it took her that much longer to get dressed because she had to unwrap everything. Then she got down to the front desk to find that her clipboard and the guest register were also bubble-wrapped. She wasn't in a very good mood after all that.

Groovy Tunes, Tuesday

[notyourpawn.livejournal.com]

Alice was somewhat amused to discover that, like her Weapons class, most of Groovy Tunes was covered in copious amounts of bubble wrap. She was less delighted when she realized that that included a majority of the CDs.

A few appeared unscathed, she noted, as she glanced through the racks -- so she grabbed some of each and took them up to the sound system. The names weren't artists she recognized: Britney Spears, Hannah Montana, Captain and Tenille? Hmmm, this Creed CD seemed untouched, and Paul Anka as well. Barbra Streisand and Barry Manilow had escaped unscathed.

Simple, then: she'd put in these CDs while she worked on unwrapping the rest.

Alice did not realize how bad of a day she was going to have.

Photo Hut, Tuesday

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

Jack opened up the Photo Hut late today, since it had taken him over an hour to finally get there. He was not happy.

He was, however, greeted by a small lizard with a blue tongue...just hanging around the shop.

"Are you following me?" Jack asked the lizard. The lizard gave him A Look that implied both the fact that the lizard could not talk and the fact that the skink made it there before Jack did.

Photo Hut was open.

The Beach, Tuesday Afternoon

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

Cable had been taking some time to find his way around the island. Eventually, that had brought him here-- through some detours he wouldn't have come up with on his own. Now he was, though, staring out over the water in some attempt to find a mainland anywhere.

So far, he hadn't been succesful. It was starting to trouble him, and his only comfort so far was the fact that no one had fallen ill or disappeared yet.

Beyond the animal transformations, anyway. But those had always been kind of a problem.

[ open beach! ]

Caritas - Tuesday Evening [Open]

[lightishred.livejournal.com]

It took Donut three tries to get to the bar this evening. He was impressed. Usually it took him five or six tries before he found his way to the bar.
