Luke's Diner, Wed., 12/17

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny was not an eggnog fan. Not even of the spiked variety.

...

Okay, maybe he could try it. Anyway, he was somewhat befuddled when he got to work and it was flowing from the faucets. Cups were sitting around already full. It was one thing to see it at the dorms but at work? Come on.

Someone had already put up a sign declaring free eggnog to everyone. Like they weren't getting it free some place else. Or so he assumed.

Luke's is open.

Pixie Dust, Wednesday, 12/17

[withoutverona]

Romeo spent much of his shift trying to decide if things from the store counted as Christmas gifts, or if he had to do additional shopping in stores where he didn't get an employee discount. He decided on the former, and put a sign in the window to encourage that thought process in others:

Holiday Sale
20% Off Many Items Storewide
Add Pixie Dust Sparkle to Your Christmas Wardrobe!

[OOC: Open, no OCD. Sale items moddable.]

Android's Dungeon, Wednesday, 12/17

[saveyoulater.livejournal.com]

Someone had been half-asleep when she turned on the shower.

As a result, someone had used all of the bottled water in her fridge trying to rinse eggnog out of her hair, to limited success.

Sarah's ponytail was still a little sticky as she opened the shop and set up for the day, and she kept grimacing at her own slight but cloying egg-and-rum scent.

[OOC: Open and OCD-free.]

Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center, Wednesday

[intraspective]

Ino had discovered that there was eggnog coming from the taps. Luckily, she’d found this out before having her shower, but still. Eggnog was kinda gross. Ew.

And she sulked a lot when she got to work and found that, at the very least, all the taps that didn’t involve her breaking into Cable-san’s apartment to check were afflicted with eggnog as well. Ewwww.

All in all, Ino was a smidgen late after getting to the shop, then leaving the shop to go buy several bottles of water (and a hot chocolate from the Perk) before coming back and flopping down in Cable-san’s chair.

Only to pull out a notebook so she could review her notes and make sure her plan for practicing was solid enough. Potatoes, come on. She’d feel really dumb if she messed up that.

Wellspring Arms is Open.

Turtle & Canary, Wednesday, 12/17

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Amber was in a certain kind of mood when she came into work. That mood might be contributed to the cups of eggnog she drank this morning when she first got up. Mm, eggnog.

Grinning at Apu, she turned on the sparkly white lights that were strung up, and after seeing everything else was ready for customers, she bounced around and hung mistletoe everywhere. Or close to it.

It was going to be an awesome day, especially since there was more eggnog!

Today's Squishy Flavors: Eggnog, Eggnog, Eggnog Red

Turtle & Canary is open!

Strokes of Genius, Wednesday

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Katchoo stickily slouched into the store clutching a wet towel she'd dunked in the duck pond on her way over and, muttering a string of invective, attempted to clean herself off. Considering that the towel was not only wet but really frikkin' cold, it was a very . . . verbal, and somewhat ineffective, experience.

She was starting to suspect this hygiene crap was severely overrated.

[OOC: OCD-free, open, blah blah man I'm less than inspired today.]

Police Station: Wednesday

[pieandcoffee.livejournal.com]

"Diane it's approximately 9:32, Wednesday morning. Feeling a bit off. No coffee in the station as it appears that egg nog is now only available from our water supply. Additionally I've found that every time I look away from my coffee mug it gets refilled with the same type of egg nog. It's been over 12 hours since my last cup of coffee. I've noticed a decrease in my attention span and have been fighting the urge to be irritable towards Ralph. Or anyone else for that matter. Yes, I realize I could go down to the Perk to order coffee but as the Sheriff I do have to set an example for the others. One cannot run out of the office for coffee just to have it suit their own means. I will try to find a way to push through this day."

*****

"Diane, It's now 9:45 am. Ralph returned from patrol with coffee from the perk. Successfully resisted the urge to yank off his helmet and kiss him on the mouth."

*****

"9:48 am. Ralph apparently got me decaffinated coffee. My right eyelid is beginning to twitch. I may have to kill him and leave his corpse on the coffee station as an example to others."

*****

"Diane, 10:01 am. Discovered stash of chocolate covered espresso beans in desk drawer which appears to have taken the edge off. Will let Ralph live for now."

*****

[Open with a coffee deprived Dale. You have been warned.]

Cafe Fina - Wednesday, 12/17

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Considering the Lurlinog that kept pouring out of the spouts today, Liir's ability to cook was rather hampered. The melting of a few ice cubes provided enough water to wash things in, but the rest?
Today's Special
Free eggnog with every order!
...perhaps not inspired, but practical enough.

The Cafe Fina was open.

Around Town - Dec 17th - Wednesday

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

( Eggnog aside, Geoffrey was a bit busy with his production to be in the holiday spirit, but the posters were going up all over. )

[cut for image size; image worksafe][feel free to tag Geoffrey for tickets if you'd like]

Covent Garden Flowers, Wednesday

[unddann]

Poinsettias. Poinsettias everywhere.

Covent Garden Flowers

Eliza Doolittle, prop.
Fresh flowers from nosegays to bouquets!
Delivery available upon request.

Arms Hotel Lobby, Wednesday

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

Upon arrival to work, Jeff had discovered that he was very thirsty.

About an hour later, he was slumped over his desk, staring at Nana as she danced silly little steps throughout the hall. He was not completely sure how he had gotten here, but the water he'd been drinking was rather good.

Maybe they should bottle it.

[ open! ]

Groovy Tunes, Wednesday

[notyourpawn.livejournal.com]

Alice was entirely too fond of holiday music. Somehow, she hadn't yet tired of it, so she was going to determine if an entire shift filled with Christmas cheer would change that.

If one was sick of holiday music, perhaps today was not a very good day to visit Groovy Tunes.

The York Gallery; Wednesday [12/17].

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

Charlotte had gotten a very nice (if very brief and rather grunt-y) call from Teddy's boyfriend mentioning that he wouldn't be in for work because he had turned into a puppy. Well, okay, then. Charlotte wasn't going to ask any questions, she was just going to come on in for Teddy, keep an eye on the exhibit, and enjoy a nice mug of eggnog and not spare any thoughts to where it came from if she could help it. It was simply seasonal and Teddy was just under the weather with a cold.

Some habits were difficult to break, and, even as long as she'd been here, Charlotte still had quite the habit of denial.

The York Gallery is open.

Coyote Medicine - Wednesday

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

Ichigo warily entered the store that morning, waiting for something to happen and then... Nothing did.

Huh.

He checked the store and the sweat lodge, but nothing mysterious or odd happened at all. Shrugging and deciding it was about friggin' time the island started to behave, he put the sign in the window.

COYOTE MEDICINE
Tribal Artifacts and Medicine Man services
Tinsel free

It wasn't until he sat down, grabbing a book to read, that something scurried over his feet. "Stupid rat."

[Open and OCD free because my brain is ferrety.]

Caritas, Wednesday, 12/17

[bad-nose-job.livejournal.com]

The band was playing with bells tonight. The music was kind of odd, but addicting. Penelope watched as she sipped eggnog. Tino had slipped a bright pink umbrella in her glass for her, which made it so cute! Yay for happy work time.

[I almost forgot about this, oops!]

The Gig, Wednesday

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

News from home and this time of year weighed heavily on Edmund's mind. He was quiet and serious (well, more than usual) as he tended to the horses and his chores.

The Gig was open.

[OOC: Info!]

Stark Industries - Wednesday

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

Naomi arrived on time for her shift, making sure that everything was organized before opening.

Stark Industries is open.
