Strokes of Genius, Thursday (October 22)

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

So Ethics had been an interesting experience today. Interesting in that 'wow, that was kind of fun, you people are crazy, I never want to do that again' kind of way because really, Katchoo felt she'd already had her lifetime share of getting shot at before the midterm started. (Somewhere, Tambi Baker would be laughing hysterically if she knew that.)

Glad to be back in her own clothes and out of a simulation of the crazy galaxy, Katchoo headed into town to open the store and then took up a spot on the front steps with her cigarettes and sketchbook.

But not before arranging a series of posable drawing figures in the display window spelling out "YMCA" with their arms. Just for the hell of it.

[OOC: As real as it may seem, the OCD was only in my dreams. DON'T BE HATING ON MY CHOICE OF MUSIC THIS MORNING OKAY.]

Turtle & Canary -- Thursday

[gods-gymnast.livejournal.com]

Maron, feeling that really work after a vacation was just not fair, was using that as an excuse to totally go through the clothing they had in stock and console herself with maybe buying a cute skirt or two.

Or three.

Shopping therapy was totally a valid way to spend her shift. After all, she’d totally help if anyone needed it.

Today’s Squish Flavors: Milk Chocolate, Orange Juice, Grape Judas

Turtle & Canary is Open!

The Arms Hotel Lobby, Thursday [10/22]

Hoshi had gotten an emergency message from her San Francisco yesterday. Amazingly, she had managed to get a last-minute deal at Portalocity to get there and return Thursday morning with Porthos in tow. She had no idea how long Captain Archer's new mission would last, but she was happy to have her dog back.

Overnight portal travel could really exhausting, though, Hoshi could be forgiven if she dozed off at the front desk while Porthos stood guard at the lobby entrance.

Welcome to the Arms Hotel!
Today's Special
Kabocha (Japanese Pumpkin) Soup

[Today just feels like an OCD-free day.]

Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center, Thursday

[shiroi_tiger]

Once again, Algen didn't imagine there was going to be much in the way of hard work to be done at the Wellspring during his shift today, and so he'd brought a stack of the students' midterms with him to mark between whatever errands he had to do.

They were a bit of a joke, but damn it, he was going to mark them regardless.

And facepalm. A lot.

The Wellspring Arms is open!

Magic Box | Thursday | 10.22

[life_inshadow]

After she straightened the store and unboxed a new shipment of herbs, Tara settled behind the counter with her laptop. She kept toggling between a page on Samhain traditions ... and a site of vintage-style homecoming dresses.

She didn't even think she was going, but a girl could look at pretties, right?

The Magic Box was open.

[And in the right comm this time. Hush.]

Cabot and Associates, 10/22

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

Jennifer worked diligently today, filing and sorting and researching. While she seemed to be developing a bit of a rebellious streak, that didn't affect her work in the least. When she was here, she was all business.

But she could take a quick break to help anyone who stopped in just to see her. And anyone who needed legal help, she'd do that too!

[ooc: No OCD, open!]

Stark Industries - Wednesday

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

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

Stark Industries is open.

MCA Lobby, [10/22]

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

Mina Murray sat behind the lobby counter, reading a copy of... Cosmo.

She looked as if she was attempting to stare at an article until it burst into fire. Mina did not approve of such content in her magazines. At least, the ones she read in public.

Over the quiet week, she had moved her belongings down from apartment seven and into the much more spacious manager's suite in number zero. She'd even brought in some lab equipment so she could run some minor chemical experiments in her spare time.

This did, however, leave a vacancy in the building. So she left a sign on the door reading:

One vacant apartment.
Serious inquiries only.

She'd be glad to help any potential tenants, as well as any current ones or any friends who may stop by the lobby.

[ooc: I shun the OCD. Open! Also, MCA info here.]

Luke's Diner, Thursday

[lovemykilt]

Priestly came into the diner for work to be greeted with the cook rolling his eyes and saying "Oh, it's you."

Priestly grinned back. "I missed you, too."

Today's specials
Pig 'n' a poke
Scrambled eggs
Fresh squeezed juice

It seemed it was breakfast for lunch/dinner day at the diner.

Luke's was open.

Our Lady of Fandom, Thursday

[scruffnfeathers]

Something was decidedly odd about Castiel, today. More so than usual, in fact. For one thing, instead of standing stock still at the front of the church throughout the entire service, he instead seemed to be swaying slightly and nodding his head, as though to some unheard music. His tie had come off at some point, and more buttons on his shirt were open than was usual. His trench coat was missing. And perhaps most disturbing of all, he was smiling.

If it weren't for the fact that he was standing behind the pulpit, someone might notice that this was probably due to the fact that he had a gremlin on his leg, gnawing cheerfully away. The gremlin's venom, it seemed, was affecting Castiel much in the way that certain drugs were known to affect people.

In other words, he was higher than a freaking kite.

He seemed to start his sermon in the middle.

"So, in this way, we're each a fragment of total perception. Just -- just one compartment. In that dragonfly eye of group mind. Now, the key to this total -- total -- shared perception. It can be . . . surprisingly physical."

Someone should possibly stop him.

[ooc: OCD is coming up. And yes, I'm totally riffing gremlin-bit!Cass from 5x04 - The End. I love this canon. For serious.]

Guilty As Charged - Thursday

[asgardcreated.livejournal.com]

Jon was in a good mood today. Tuesday had come and gone without one phone call or prank or bad joke. Well, except for Claire, but it was a girlfriend's right to torture a guy on his birthday. Not that it had really been torture, in fact it had been pretty damn fun.

And he was still in a good mood for it. Which is why the good rock was playing while he did things around the store.

Caritas - Thursday evening [Open]

[iguessiamaclone.livejournal.com]

When Ben walked into the bar tonight, Tino gave him a cassette tape. "Um. Thanks," Ben said, looking at the tape. "I don't actually have anything that can play a cassette, but..."

Tino took the tape and threw it into the garbage. That was the last time he'd give Ben a coworker mixtape.

[OOC: I'm around!]

Book Haven: Thursday [10-22-09]

[livingasheth.livejournal.com]

Millie totally opened the bookstore on time and has been here since practically oh-dark-thirty this morning. Surely you all noticed?

Anyway, Book Haven is open!


[ooc: And this never said Monday and the Mun is certainly not stressed to the gills with a myriad of things! Not at all!]

The Gig: Thursday [10-22-090

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

if anyone might have thought Helen wasn't at The Gig, well, where else would she be on a Thursday?

The Gig is open!
