Android's Dungeon, Thursday, 10/30

[saveyoulater.livejournal.com]

Wednesday had gotten eaten by paperwork and writing up a field report about the island itself, so it was Thursday before Sarah managed to open her new business. She'd been a little afraid of what kind of geek Nirvana it would turn out to be, but she found a clean and well-ordered shop full of comics, gaming cards, and plastic toys that weren't really for kids. Apparently the last owner was pretty good at his job.

She made a large sign for the window and settled in behind the counter, paging through a spy comic with a sense of increasing disgust at the implausibility of it all as she waited to see if anyone would wander in.

Book Haven: Thursday [10-30-08]

And this would be Millie happily singing temple songs as she bustles around the store putting up Halloween decorations.

Treats for customers include hot mulled cider and pumpkin cookies today!

Groovy Tunes: Thursday [10-30-08]

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

Peyton was working on a Halloween costume. Just in case she decided to do anything holiday related.

The music was suitably eerie.

The Gig: Thursday [10-30-08]

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

Helen was a little confused about this Halloween thing. It seemed rather odd, and yet intriguing at the same time. The horses didn't seem to understand it any better.

[Info on the Gig is here. No OCD today!]

The Beach, Thursday Morning

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

The beach, Viki decided, was quite possibly her favourite place on the island. There was something imposing about the waves as they crashed onto the shore and stretched out for seemingly forever.

It was appealing to just sit and watch them and muse on her insignificance. And then, perhaps in defiance of that very thought, fling sand at the water and laugh. Did she matter to the water? No. Did that matter?

Never.

[Open as beaches are, yes.]

Luke's Diner; Thursday [ 10/30 ]

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

Cal had possibly been looking forward to this shift at the diner too much, which was saying a lot, considering that he wasn't usually one to get thrilled about work. He had plenty of cheese and a blow torch, and a good path to the fire extinguisher, just in case. And, if it did come to the place burning down, well, there was always the defense that it was just Deadpool's bad influence. It was, after all, his class (and a certain amount of credit given to genes, of course) that reinspired this whole obsession with flaming cheese.

Stark Industries, Thursday

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

Tony was in his lab, like always, working on the suit. He'd managed to repair most of the damage from Obie's little visit, but now he was frowning at all the calculations on improving it.

Couldn't make it too bulky, after all. What use would a stronger but slower suit do him, after all?

Turtle & Canary: Thursday

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie was quite pleased with the costume he was wearing today.

Apu? Not so much.

Today's Special:

ALL HALLOWEEN COSTUMES AND CANDY 15% OFF

Todays Squishy Flavors: Candy Corn, Special Dark Chocolate, Grape Ape

(Really "Grape Ape" was just "Grape Judas" but it was in disguise. Shh.)

Abandoned Warehouse, Thursday After School

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy got there early to help Hoshi get everything organized for the haunted house. He could only hope the handwavey note he left for Kappa Kappa Gremlin was seen and everyone showed up here.

And that the posters actually worked.

There were plenty of supplies to make this a damn nice haunted house, though! And, of course, the food to keep the workers happy. Now all they needed was said workers....

Coyote Medicine, [10/30]

[spiritandsword]

Annja arrived at the store, personally very glad that Roux had not insisted upon meeting her boss over the weekend. That just wouldn't have gone well at all.

She moved around the store to tidy things up before picking up the sign to put back in the window.

COYOTE MEDICINE!

She was relaxed and ready to help any customers that came in today.

Covent Garden Flowrs, Thursday 10/30

[loverlyviolets]

Eliza was familiar with Halloween, but not this 'Trick-or-Treat' thing. She could follow the concept, however: it was like Guy Fawkes' Day with fancy-dress costumes instead of fireworks and children running about asking for chocolates instead of a penny for the guy. Since free chocolate was a principle she could always get behind (and she didn't like the sound of the 'trick' bit), Eliza figured she might as well participate in the town's celebration tomorrow.

Especially since sometime during the night, the wilted E in the ( sign above the door )

had been replaced by a disturbingly realistic rubber spider, and she'd absolutely no desire to touch the thing to get it down. So instead, today found her standing on a chair and draping cotton-wool cobwebs about the place to match.

The sign in the window read:

Covent Garden Flowers Eliza Doolittle, prop. Fresh flowers from nosegays to bouquets! Delivery available upon request. ~~~~Still Hiring for Friday position~~~~ (The spider isn't real. I bashed it with the broomstick to make sure.)

The Arms Hotel Lobby, Thursday

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

Gunther was waiting for Hoshi when she and Porthos finally showed up. He had no clue what to do for today's specials, which almost made Hoshi laugh because normally he hated her suggestions. "Just get me a cup of coffee first," she told him.

He may have taken her a bit too literally.

Welcome to the Arms Hotel!

The Boards, Thursday Afternoon

[wantstodirect]

Today, Tony was building flats. He found a power drill backstage and used it to put to gether the wooden frames that would eventually be covered with canvas and painted for stage backdrops.

[Open to all!]

Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center, Thursday

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

Cable had a headache, which he stoically bore, and a few newspapers, including one from Sri Lanka, which he stoically held while he read them.

He was still thoughtful. A good rationalisation, after all, took a lot of work.

Tether paid no attention to it; he laid curled up under Cable's desk, and showed no signs of wanting to move. The Open sign was on the door.

[ and open it is! ]

Caritas [Thursday evening]

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

Tonight was not like any other night at Caritas, for Robin. Tonight, she had imported moddable New York City strippers. Tonight, she had set aside several bottles of the bar's finest scotch.

Tonight, she was suited up.

Tino was watching the actual bar, while Robin was busy in the private room with Barney's bachelor party. And Sunshine, who she was finally getting to meet.

[there will be additional OCD which is up!]
