Strokes of Genius, Wednesday

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Katchoo had an insect bite of some sort over her eye today, and didn't look happy about that at all. Least the stupid thing wasn't swollen. Yet. She wasn't exactly optimistic about its chances of staying that way. But when was she ever, about anything?

The radio had ended up on some pop station, and nearly went out the window when she turned it on and got assaulted by insipid boy-band harmonies. Her desperate dial-twisting quest for the classic rock station took way too long.

Oh, look, Katchoo was cranky at work.

Anyone surprised? Really?

[OOC: Say my name, sun shines through the rain, a whole post so OCD-free -- um, I have no excuse for the Bangles earworm this morning. SP again highly likely until late afternoon/evening.]

Convenient Garden Flower Shoppe [Open 5/13]

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

Joan was in a good mood when she arrived at the shop. She freshened up the sign and took her place behind the counter.

Covent Garden Flowers

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


[the ocd is on vacation]

MCA Lobby [5/13]

[nugents-shirt.livejournal.com]

Rusty was pleased that his building was full for the first time since he had purchased it. Since he didn't really have any paperwork to do, he was sitting in the lobby with a calendar and some party supply catalogs, trying to decide on a date and theme for a 'Get to Know Your Neighbors' shindig.



[open! and no ocd because there are no apartments to rent!]

Atlas Gym, Wednesday, 5/13

[tyler_gone]

Tyler hadn't been in the best frame of mind since he watched the girl switch out during Fight Club Sunday. It had been familiar and strange all at once, and he was pretty sure there was laughter in the back of his head at how much it all bothered him. Since he was Tyler, that meant he wasn't sleeping, he was surviving on caffeine and microwave burritos, and just walking past the Perk made him want to go on a rant about how much he hated fucking corporate coffee bars.

He tried a yoga class, right when he got to work. He went to yoga mostly because the karate guy wasn't in yet and he couldn't deal with lifting one more weight, but, to his surprise, it kind of helped. Something about all that time in child's pose really did clear his aura or whatever shit you wanted to call it. By the time midmorning rolled around, he was alertly moving about the gym, restocking the magazine rack and even fluffing a few towels.

Atlas Gym was open.

[OOC: No OCD!]

Luke's Diner - Wednesday

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Behind the counter, Johnny was drinking a chocolate shake he'd made. It sounded good when he first came in so now he was working on his second.

He was also worried about Savannah and the whole conversation he'd had still having with Eve last night. Feeling helpless kind of sucked.

Today's Special
Fried Chicken
Mashed Potatoes & Gravy
Coleslaw
Chocolate Shake

Luke's is open!

[No ocd!]

Android's Dungeon, Wednesday, 5/13

[saveyoulater.livejournal.com]

Sarah supposed that if she was teaching, she didn't technically need to keep up her cover of being at the shop two days a week. But she found her way there anyhow. The paperwork and stock rotation kept her busy, and she supposed she would need to hire someone to replace Teddy someday.

Besides, there was a new edition of the Bitterwoman/Y-Men alternate universe crossover that she had to read.

She put a help wanted sign in the window and took her place behind the counter, comic open in front of her.

[OOC: Open shop, no OCD.]

The Gig, Wednesday [5/13]

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

It could have been said that Gwynn was far too excited about her new job.

She had shown up at the stables at 5 because she wanted the horses to get used to having her around and she figured that the sooner they did that, the better their relationship would end up being.

After she fed them and cleaned out their stalls, she groomed each one of them, making sure that each of them got the same amount of attention from her. She didn't want any of them to feel slighted, after all.

After those chores were taken care, she began saddling up to exercise each of the horses.

The Gig was open. Gwynn was there with one of the horses and ready for almost anything you needed.


[[OOC: In what appears to be a grand tradition at The Gig, there is no OCD.]]

Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center, Wednesday

[intraspective]

If it was wrong of her to find radio amusing, well, she was going to just keep being wrong. Which was perfectly okay with her—after all, Ino was, in fact, aware of her own attitudinal issues.

Besides, he’d listened, and that just gave her a smidgen more respect for him. Not that she’d tell him again. Ew, no. Humming idly, and talking nonsensically to the plants she opened up the store before flopping down in Cable-san’s chair.

Wellspring Arms is Open.

Groovy Tunes, Wednesday

[notyourpawn.livejournal.com]

It seemed strange to Alice, to be working in the store knowing that Chad had left the island. It was almost melancholy. She found herself digging out the Honesty Mix that she had made after the day everyone had been forced to truthfulness; it seemed to fit her mood.

(OCD-free today, and crashing out -- will catch pings later.)

Cabot and Associates, 63 Serendipity Way, Wednesday

[glasses-justice.livejournal.com]

Alex was beginning to think that this past week had, in fact, really happened, and wasn't just a bizarre hallucination caused by the trauma of the shooting (or the variety of painkillers). The next question was whether she had completely lost her sanity. That one might take longer.

In the meantime, she had an office, and she had employees. No cases yet, but one thing at a time.

The Law Offices of Cabot and Associates
LEGAL SERVICES • LEGAL AID

(OCD-free and open, though I flee. Back later.)

The Park, near the duck pond - Wednesday afternoon

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

Prince Edward showed up at the appointed spot at least a good half-hour before Adora was to arrive. He'd spread a red and white checkered blanket upon a nice spot upon the grass, and set the picnic basket on it. It took him a few moments to place it exactly as he wanted, hoping that he was doing this right. He'd had advice, after all, and was relying heavily on it. Next he placed two white roses tied with a silken ribbon of gold, upon the basket lid.

With a deeply contented sigh, he sat upon the blanket to await his lovely girlfriend.

[Edward is here for Adora, but the park is open to all!]

The York Gallery, Wednesday

[17andinfected.livejournal.com]

Shilo arrived at the York Gallery as soon as she'd gotten up and dressed, nervous for her first day of work. She didn't see Charlotte immediately, so she wandered around until she'd found a maintenance closet, located a broom, and quickly swept the floor in the gallery and reception area. Once that was done, she found a large black marker and fixed the sign so it now read:

THE YORK GALLERY
is now hiring for positions at the reception desk
Wednesday and Saturdays.
Please inquire within

The York Gallery is open.

[OCD forthcoming is now up, have at it! And I apparently can't code at 8 in the morning...]

Turtle & Canary - Wednesday

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

When Amber came into work she immediately went for the food section of the store and began setting up a display of SPAM. It was cheap and new students liked cheap. Her logic was entirely sound.
 

On Sale Today
SPAM

Today's Squishy Flavors: Red Jello, Sour Apple, Dill Pickle

Turtle & Canary is open!
 

Cafe Fina - Wednesday - 5/13

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Someone was in a good mood but not feeling at all like cooking. All the talk had made him a bit pastry-mad. So--

Today's Specials
Spiced Brownies
Rose Cookies
Summer Ice

The Cafe Fina was open!

[and totally lacking an OCD!]

Caritas - Wednesday

[bad-nose-job.livejournal.com]

Penelope was in an okay mood this evening. Not great, but okay. She was tired and her mood sort of went hand in hand with the slow blues sound from the band tonight. They were all wearing black shades which, she had to admit, added flavor to their otherwise dead, duct-taped selves.

Maybe it'd be a slow night.

Caritas is open!

Stark Industries - Wednesday

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

Naomi was on time for her shift, making sure that everything was organized before she opened.

Stark Industries is open.
