Covent Garden Flowers, Wednesday, 12/2

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

There were tiny Christmas trees everywhere. Random ones. Decorated and cute and just... appearing. It was like Dunsinane was coming to the heath, even though MacFinlay had died last semester.

Which put Dinah in a silly mood. In the spirit of that same silliness, she left a note in the back room for the next person on shift: The mistletoe is plotting against us. I caught it trying to climb the doorframes. Also, the Christmas Trees are striking back. Hold them off 'til I get reinforcements. Then went back to rearranging firs and pines and evergreens while singing U2.

Strokes of Genius, Wednesday (December 2)

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Katchoo deleted no less than four text messages from Lacey on her way to work, all of which were thoroughly transparent attempts at wheedling her into signing up for Facebook because Lacey needed more Farmville neighbors, one of which included an offer of gift garden gnomes if she did. That poor phone came dangerously close to getting thrown into the duck pond at one point, but then Katchoo nearly tripped over the tiny Christmas tree that cropped up in her path.

. . . sigh. The holiday season in Fandom.

By the tme she got to work, she figured if she had to, she'd just throw the phone at Arthur's head.

It'd be a gesture meant out of love. Really.

[OOC: Radio silence as I commute, then OCD-free post is open!]

Wellspring Arms & Meditation Centre, Wednesday

[intraspective]

Today Ino was mentally making a list of questions she wanted to know the answers to from various people (sadly, she thought, they weren't fun shiny questions like 'what do you want for Christmas' but rather more serious ones).

And. Well.

Dorking out over the wee Christmas trees that had appeared.

And wondering if she should just leave the one that was on the desk. It was cute and all, but--well. Whatever. It was cute, she could sit beside a little tree and inspect the decorations.

Wellspring Arms is Open!

'Dite's Decadent Delights, Wednesday afternoon

[divinesurfchick.livejournal.com]

There were trees, tiny trees, tiny Christmas-y trees, and a fuming goddess of love.

Aphrodite wasn't upset about the trees. They were tiny, and cute, and decorated, and she'd corralled some out of the way of the door so they wouldn't be stepped on, and put others on shelves and displays so they could sit and look pretty and make the shop all holiday. Besides, they matched well with the gold and pink red holiday garlands and little ornaments she'd put up.

No, it was a small orange cat that she was glaring at, arms folded as she frowned down at him.

"Herculeeees! How could you? They're just tiny trees! Why would you try to eat one?"

Hercules, who was calmly licking his paws, looked up at her as if to say, Excuse me but I am a cat before sauntering off toward the back of the store.

'Dite rolled her eyes and went back to cooing at the tiny trees.

Decadent Delights is open.

(ooc: nice to be back. Hugs to all. Feel free to say hi if you're up for it.)

Luke's Diner, Wednesday [12/2]

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

Poor Snarf hadn't quite recovered from his overindulgence yesterday, so Lion-o left him behind when he left for the diner.

He raised an eyebrow at all the tiny little Christmas trees that seemed to be everywhere, but they didn't bother him. Lion-o would have checked the taps in the kitchen to make sure there was real water flowing today. However, the guys in the kitchen went and barricaded the door as soon as he arrived. "You know, one day I'm going to find a way to get in there!" he yelled at them.

Things Reborn: Wednesday

[iknowstuff.livejournal.com]

Things Reborn was in the process of being redecorated for the holidays today. Actually it was mostly Layla moving the little trees around to various displays to make the store look more holiday-ish.

In between the shifting of the trees, Layla was quite happily making her usual inflammatory posts to various hero-worshiping websites.

ru daft? Can't you see his claws are all wrong and he has tattoos? The real one has claws coming out the top of his hand. Not two on top and one below his forearm. Plus the real one doesn't have those douche-bag tattoos on his arms. And if he's really an Avenger how can he be with the X-men at the same time?

Really it was all too easy.

[Oh so open.]

Groovy Tunes, Wednesday

[notyourpawn.livejournal.com]

Alice was less playful than her usual, today, as she opened the store. Thoughtful, perhaps. Flitting around cleaning, as one is wont to do.

Caritas; Wednesday Evening

Marshall came into work on time and settled behind the bar with the latest issue of Cosmo Girl Sports Illustrated. Hell yeah, sports and man stuff.

Atlast gym - Wednesday

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

Naught out of the ordinary had caught Beka's attention when she'd shown up to work that morning. There'd been a few decorations for the oncoming holiday that some of the instructors has put up, naught more. Except that an hour in her shift, the decorations appeared to be... spreading.

First there'd been the odd tiny tree on the machines. And in the bathrooms. One tree'd been hiding in the towel rack and now there was one in the water cooler.

Mayhap the instructors had naught to do with it. Beka didn't much care who was responsible, but she kept having to clear the machines and the janitor closet was starting to fill up. It was becoming... annoying.

[Open. OCD got cut along with my hair.]

Stark Industries - Wednesday

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

Stark Industries is open.
