MHA Poolside | Tuesday | June 2

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

Loki took his game to a new fucking place today. It was just too damn nice to sit inside and wilt away when he could be outside, by the pool, sunning himself. That was how he preferred to work. Sans shirt and shading his eyes with both sunglasses and a baseball cap, Loki was propped up in one of the chaise loungers, content to spend the whole fucking day right there.

It wasn't like he got sunburned or shit like that. If anyone needed him, he'd left a note at the desk to tell them where he was. See how courteous he was? He was really fucking dedicated.

He had earbuds in and the music turned up loud but not loud enough to get sneaked up on. He was prepared for that shit, thank you.

[MHA is open!]

Book Haven, Tuesday

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

Yei was utterly ecstatic to get out and play in the shop, and Hinata smiled as she watched her cat explore the seats, the cushions, and the shelves (the books made Yei sneeze and look horrifically offended, which only had Hinata laughing softly).

Pulling out a copy of The Scottish Play from the shelves, she settled in to read it. It wasn’t as if she were acting it out this time, but Hinata was of the opinion that more knowledge could only help.

Book Haven is Open.

Covent Garden Flowers, Tuesday

[intraspective]

Ino had thought it was going to be a usual, ordinary, typical sort of day, but that was before she got a mission scroll directing her to leave that night. Which meant, really, that Ino was just going to be a wee bit hyper as she bounced around the shop today and babbled cheerful (but encouraging!) nonsense to her plants.

Okay. Eliza-san’s plants. Shut up.

Covent Garden Flowers

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

Covent Garden Flowers is Open.

The Boards - Thursday, 6/2 - REHEARSAL!

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

Today, the chairs were set up for everyone, all in a circle around a couple of tables pushed together. Geoffrey was looking pleased, if a little manic, and clutched his coffee with the kind of fervor usually reserved for knights heading into battle.

"Today, we start rehearsals, of course. Some of you have been here before, and some of you haven't. Some of you know what you're in for, but most of you don't. So let me lay it on the line right now:

"Point 1: while I might have quite a lot of experience with madness, I am mentally equipped to handle being the director. Point 2: I am the director, this is my theatre, and if I say 'go get a muffin', go get a muffin."

Which could mean any number of things, of course, from 'good! go reward yourself' to 'get the hell out of my sight, you philistine, before I start strangling you in lieu of water fowl'.

"We're doing The Scottish Play," and he glanced around to see if there were any reactions, "which, while very difficult to stage effectively, is still a worthwhile and stirring piece of art. Treat it like anything else and I will personally eject you from the theatre. With my boot.

"You might have heard some things about this play. I'm going to tell you they're ridiculous. It's a play. The power it holds has nothing to do with 'curses' or bad luck and everything to do with the lesson it has to teach us and the things which we, as actors, will help the audience see on this stage and in themselves."

He looked around one more time.

"All right, sit. We're doing readthrough today."

Luke's Diner - Tuesday

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

"Today -" Edward exclaimed loudly as he stepped into the diner, "I am leaving the work up to you, peasants! I have important matters to attend to!" He waved a hand. "Snap snap! Get to it!"

Seating himself in a booth, he set before him a stack of CD's and a book of song lyrics. Yes, he'd handwavily made a trip to the record store. Wonderful advice from Priest.

Wait. "Peasant! Get me a music player and make it work!" he shouted to the bus boy.

Yes, today, he would just be over here, learning new songs. Ohhhh, JOY!

Cabot and Associates - Tuesday - 6/02

[cutsthestrings.livejournal.com]

Fiona made it to work and did her usual duties, watering the plant and neatening up the office, before she settled down to work on the Jenner case. She felt just a little annoyed with herself, since she couldn't seem to focus on the details as well as she knew she could; her mind kept floating off thinking about other things, other completely non-legal things and she almost wondered if she should tell Miss Cabot that she would be largely useless today.

No, no, she could file and man the phones. And she knew most of the details of the case, when she could think; she could always do the legal research when her head was back on straight. Goodness knew she had the books to use in her room (well, some of them). In fact, that was what she decided to do. And not use the office phone to call anyone. Because that was just wrong. And a bad idea.

She really really hated this.

[ocd up!]

The Gig, Tuesday [6/2]

[awesomebigsis.livejournal.com]

Ellie fed and groomed the horses as soon as she showed up this morning. She was glad they all seemed to still like her. Or maybe they liked her because she sometimes offered snacks.

The Gig was open.

The Arms Hotel Lobby, Tuesday [6/2]

[montecito-east.livejournal.com]

It was a quiet day at the hotel, so Mary was doing some online shopping. Considering how many movies she was watching at home, a new home entertainment center would be really nice...

Welcome to the Arms Hotel!

The Perk, Tuesday morning

[future_sandworm]

He had been adventuorus today and ordered one of the strange varieties of coffee offered at the Perk. It was... interesting. And very frothy and sweet. What was it with people here and the taste of sugar?

Still, even beverages were worthy some kind of research, he supposed.

Leto leaned back in his chair, throwing a glance out the window, content to watch the people walk past.

[expecting one, but open]

Android's Dungeon, Tuesday

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

Adam opened up the store, a little bummed out that he didn't get a change to kick around the soccer ball last week.

But, the weather was nicer today and tomorrow was looking ever better, so there was still hope.

Android's Dungeon is open.

Photo Hut, Tuesday

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

Jack opened up the Photo Hut and planned on spending the day curled up reading The Scottish Play.

It would be a shame if his plan went awry.

[open! SP after 3pm EST]

Caritas - Tuesday Evening [Open]

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

"Uh, Tino, someone who definitely wasn't me knocked over an entire shelf's worth of olives onto the store room floor."

Tino stared at Marshall.

Marshall coughed. "So you better get cleaning that."

After a couple more moments of staring, Tino grabbed a mop and headed towards the store room. He hated his life.

All Around Town | Extremely Early Wednesday Morning | June 3

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

As the sun began to rise on yet another day, slews of new flowers would be noticeable on and around the island. Most people might chalk it up to the weather, to the season and think nothing of it. Oh, if only they knew what the island did.

As the flowers bloomed, the air became ripe with interesting varieties of aphrodisiacs that would be sure to affect all the island's inhabitants. The next few days would prove very...stimulating.

The island hoped you enjoyed its mood.
