The Gig, Monday

[shiniernyours.livejournal.com]

Bender was tidying the stables. Bender was an efficient, useful device that rarely ever stole anything, and had no ulterior motives in that regard.

Oh look! A small wrapped box.

"What do we have here?" He took the precaution of x-ray scanning it first. "Another one for me, Bender!"

The mechanical pencil-sharpener clanked in his torso against three bottle-openers and a sharp multi-purpose tool that could scoop out someone's brain - or pick out stones from horses' hooves, either one's good.

Perhaps he should 'tidy' the forge next.

Stark Industries [Tuesday]

[lots-of-olives.livejournal.com]

Pepper, having heard about Tony being a pony, was hard at work on her laptop today.

It's not often one has dual searches on 'pony food' and 'hallucinogenic drugs' on one's browser.

[considering I'm JUST NOW crashing at 4:45, and have a final at 6:30 tonight, it's going to be one of those sporadic AFK days. BUT GUESS WHAT OMFG THIS IS MY LAST FINAL AND THEN I WILL HAVE MY LIFE BACK AGAIN JSKBDJKFBGKJFBGSFBGDF IT CANNOT END SOON ENOUGH.]

MHA Lobby, Tuesday

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

There were snowmen in the lobby today. For a minute, Loki could only stare at the snowmen, wondering if he'd bought more decorations when he'd been exhausted or some other fucking thing. But no, these were real snowmen, made of real snow and they weren't melting. They dotted the lobby, standing in corners and near doorways. They were brightly decorated, complete with scarves, carrot noses, pipes and eyes. They almost looked like they were fucking staring at him.

Loki thought about removing their eyes but goddamn if he didn't think the island would pay him back for that. So, instead, he retreated back behind the counter, turned on the radio (more Christmas music, of course) and idly thumbed through a few of the books he had back there with him.

Every so often, he'd look up and make sure the snowmen weren't fucking moving towards him or anything. That was all he needed, to be taken down by a bunch of fucking snow and plaid scarves. A few of the wrapped gifts were still behind the desk and, if anything, he'd chuck those at any sentient snowmen.

He almost missed the pushy mistletoe.

[MHA is open for business! Loki and Biff discussing his angel status is NFB please!]

Book Haven, Tuesday

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

Hinata, for her part, was in a perfectly peaceful mood when she made it into town. The twin snowmen she discovered inside of the shop made her pause, but upon further inspection they proved harmless and she was content enough to let Yei poke and prod at them.

When Yei wasn’t chasing one of the catnip mouse toys that they’d gotten gifted with yesterday. Hinata found a book to read, and curled up in one of the chairs.

Book Haven is Open.

Covent Garden Flowers, Tuesday

[intraspective]

...there was a snowman in the middle of the store. A snowman. In the middle of the store. Ino finished shutting the door, and skirted around the snowman so she could get to the counter, glancing back at it dubiously as she did so.

Alrighty then! She settled in, flipping the sign to open, and pulled out one of her notebooks. The information Reno had given her was far more interesting than mulling over what Ghanima-sensei had said for the moment.

Wellspring Arms: Tuesday

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Since Temari was off the island but Jamie still didn't know that was a weasel Not really. Jamie just thought she was a weasel. HIJINX!, he took it upon himself to take Temari down to her work and try to get the shop set up for her while she was all furry.

He's nice like that.

Of course Cable might have a differing opinion.

Coyote Medicine, Tuesday

[makestheworld]

Coyote had slept straight through Monday. As such, he'd be rather surprised to discover it was Tuesday.

A happy surprised, though. After all, it meant one less day of actually working.

Cafe Fina, Tuesday

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

There was a snowman in Cafe Fina today, and Lion-o thought that it was the coolest thing he'd ever seen. He kept trying to get Mr. Snowman to play with him, but the snowman wouldn't come to life like the one in the Christmas carol.

Mary nodded at Gunther and the snowman when she got to the lobby, then stopped in her tracks. "Gunther? What is that snowman doing here?"

The Perk, Tuesday morning

[fancypantsdoc.livejournal.com]

Strangely enough, a few Christmas decorations in his hotel room had cheered him up. Simon hadn't considered returning to Serenity for the holiday - if any news about River would turn up it would be here, and that meant he had to stay.

Still, now he smiled to himself as he sipped his tea while skimming through a newspaper at a corner table at the Perk,

[very open!]

Freelance Police Headquarters, Tuesday

[maxnotsam.livejournal.com]

There were creepy little snowmen all over the office, which posed all SORTS of unanswered questions.

Where had they come from? What were they doing there? Why weren't they melting? Why did those teensy little scarves make them look so darn CUTE???

Really, though, their presence in Freelance Police Headquarters could mean only one thing:

"TARGET PRACTICE!!!"


The big plate-glass window still had their logo on it, followed by the line

Our Rates Are Better!

And there was still another sign in the window, one that read

NOW HIRING
Employees Must Furnish Own Gun

Android's Dungeon, Tuesday

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

Adam opened up the store, surprised to find little snowmen on the counter. It would have been unexpected, had Adam not seen some on the walk down.

Finding them kind of amusing, Adam settled in and grabbed a random comic off the shelf. He was content to read for the rest of the day-- or until a customer stopped in.

Caritas - Tuesday Evening [Open]

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

There was a special on warm drinks today. Just because Marshall felt like having cocoa all evening. Mmm marshmallows.

All Over Fandom, Tuesday Night, Post-Radio

[raspberryturk]

Out of the woodwork they crawled, wearing masks and carrying sacks filled with their tool of choice for the chaos and havoc that they were about to spread across the island. One slapped up against a post. One stuck onto a sign. In and around and through the streets they wove, covered by the shroud so conveniently provided by the dark of the nig-

"How do you keep an idiot busy? Push this button to find out!"

"Okay," Red Kite grumbled under his breath, sticking the annoying button to a fencepost, "no more hittin' the buttons, yo."
