Wellspring Arms: Monday

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

Whenever Worf turned around into the store today, it seemed like a small wrapped gift appeared. The first or second time this happened it was almost amusing. Now it had become annoying.

Now anything a gift appeared it was promptly smacked across the room and into a trash can.

[No OCD]

Stark Industries, Monday

[endsthegame]

Ender wasn't sure what to do with the little present that had shown up under his desk. He'd found it while reaching over to toss something in the trash, and now it was there, looking at him.

He decided to leave it where it was. Maybe it was something of Stark's. Maybe it was Stark's idea of a joke, and he didn't feel like going along with it. He set up his laptop for the day and got to work.

Town Hall, Monday

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

The front door opened.

A dingo dribbled in, alternating between sniffing things and trying to strangle himself with his own leash. Holding said leash, and supporting a carefully blank expression, was Cable, who did not pause to say hello to anyone. Not that this was really that much of a change, but the dingo...

A few moments later, the door to Cable's office slammed close behind him.

Something howled within, then fell silent.

The janitor went back to work.

[ open! ]

Luke's Diner, December 15 (Monday)

[laceycantlie.livejournal.com]

It wasn't at all unusual for the kitchen staff to be in a bad mood, but the holiday season was taking its particular toll in the form of very mild welts around the morning cook's wrists that he refused to talk about (but every time he had to pass through the parts of the diner that Lacey'd festooned with holiday garlands he did so with his head ducked, and very quickly) and the dishwasher limping on the ankle he'd sprained dodging a runaway rickshaw last week.

It wasn't helping matters much at all that Lacey kept squealing in glee every time she found a new little present lying around -- a pair of cute barrettes in the cash register, pomegranate lip balm under a coffee cup on the shelf. The staff got even surlier every time she bounced up to thank them for the little surprises, because honestly, as if they would?

Not that Lacey cared; she was positively, disgustingly cheerful.

Luke's is open. Surprise! Okay, not really.

Movie Sign Theatre 3000, Monday Evening

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

Yurika hadn't felt like catching the newest Bund movie, or that other one with blowing things up. Or even that other one with explosions. She was in the mood for something cute, and, okay, maybe-kinda-date-ish.

Shush. She was, occasionally, allowed to be a bit romantic.

Turtle and Canary, Monday (12/15)

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka was asleep on the counter. And drooling.


He'd collected some of the tiny presents that had been appearing and piled them on a display with a sign reading "four for a quarter", but after that, he was pretty much inanimate. Liz had been left with STRICT instructions to wake him up for his afternoon class. Inbetween bouts of chasing her tail, she'd taken to wandering the aisles to fetch more of the little presents and drop them on the pile.

Book Haven

[therhimineecat.livejournal.com]

Seregil had found a whole pile of small presents just inside the door when he opened the Book Haven. He got everything set up and then sat down behind the counter and opened the gifts.

Nothing big, but it was certainly a pleasant way of passing the time.

The Book Haven was open.

Trooper Station; Monday [ 12/15 ].

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"Yes, ma'am," Daisy nodded as she cradled the phone between cheek and shoulder, her hand fiddling with the wrapping on another one of the small presents that had shown up on her desk, "I assure you, the troopers have done repeated sweeps across the island and there isn't a sentient strand of garland left. It seems to have been a one day occurrence, ma'am. Uh-huh. Yes. Of course. We intend to remain vigilant in case they come back. Uh-huh. Yes. Oh, yes, that does sound--Yes. Thank you, ma'am."

Daisy sighed as she hung up the phone, muttering something under her breath. She shook her head and turned to the some of the papers on her desk, setting aside the little gift for later. She hadn't opened any of them and they were accumulating on her desk, but she was saving them as hopefully rewards for when her work was finished.

There hadn't been any calls about the presents, so she had a pretty good feeling that she wouldn't wind up opening them and regretting it.

[[ open station is open! ]]

The Magic Box, Monday

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

Alex opened up the Magic Box, grinning brightly. Christmas was just ten days away and she was excited. It might explained why she was scouring the internet for something Christmas themed to wear that day.

She didn't know what color to choose-- red, green, gold or silver. Decisions, decisions.

The Magic Box was open!

Groovy Tunes; Monday [ 12/15 ].

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

The usual menagerie of pets was increased by one at the store today, the golden retriever pup that usually was his boyfriend sitting with Chad behind the counter. Chad looked at Teddy thoughtfully, trying to plan out how to explain why he wasn't at work today to one of his bosses.

And also trying to figure out why he couldn't get Teddy to play Chase the CD with the cats.

"You're just being stubborn, aren't you?"

The little bark in response was pretty much a yes.

Today's mix: Teddy

Groovy Tunes is open!

Everything but the Monkey, Monday after classes

[solo_sword]

Since barrettes were somehow unreasonable or whatever, Jaina took bunny!John to get his hair cut already. And no way was she doing it herself, so there was a good thing there was a pet store in town who didn't think anything of sentences like "I need to get my boyfriend's fur cut." Ah, Fandom.

Once the guy was done, Jaina poked her head around him to see how it came out. It was about summed up with "You have eyes!"

[For the bunny, but open for all your pet shoppy needs.]

Freelance Police HQ [Monday]

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

Since it was her first day on the job, Triela had dressed up.

This was probably difficult to notice considering how (as Jean sometimes put it) "smartly" she generally dressed. Of course in addition to her coat and tie and boots, Triela had her shoulder holster on and her pistol tucked snugly away. That was a bit different than her everyday wear, at least at school.

She was very careful to do everything she thought she should do.

Unfortunately this did not include feeding fish or opening the closet.

At least she was ready to answer the phone...?
