Trooper Station: Tuesday

[famous-gut.livejournal.com]

Gibbs glared at Ralph with a look he usually reserved for DiNozzo when he truly screwed something up.

"You want me to interrogate a guy for stealing a hostess snack cake?"

Ralph nodded. He was very proud.

( Are you kidding? )

After it was all said and done, Gibbs walked over to Ralph and smacked the back of his helmet.

And even though Ralph was helmeted? He still felt the slap.

It was a damn good headslap.

Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center, Tuesday

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

Cable had kept Jan indoors after the chocolate fever wore off and all the vampire drama began to happen - he couldn't run the risk of anything harming her. Be it sickness or people.

Now that most of the immediate threat had passed, though, she was back at the front of the store, throwing around the ragdolls Nathan Algren had given her for her birthday months ago - still her favorite toys. She was making happy sounds as she did it, too.

Tether watched her with an indulgent eye. Cable's own was more watchful, and he barely touched his paperwork all day.

[[ no ocd, open, have at ]]

Book Haven, Tuesday

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

The fact that she was a teeny bit late to work today had nothing to do with her schedule and everything to do with the fact that Yei had decided to knock a glass of water straight off her desk and got it everywhere five minutes before Hinata had been ready to flee out the door.

And then she had the audacity to purr and look expectant as Hinata had cleaned up the mess.

…which, alright, maybe Yei had reason for her smugness since Hinata had brought her with her to work anyway. Just to spare the room further mischief, really, that was all it was.

She settled at the counter and sighed as she paged through a book.

Book Haven is Open.

Covent Garden Flowers, Tuesday

[intraspective]

The fact that work was super busy (five days! five days!) didn't stop Ino from turning the radio way up and singing as she worked for all she was worth.

What? The singing totally helped her work ethic. That was her story and she was sticking to it.

Busy also didn't mean she wasn't going to take a break to add to the notes, of course.

It could also be the baby's breath—they get used as filler so often I'm sure they're bitter about it.

MCA Lobby, [2/9]

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

Mina was relieved that talk of vampires and general hysteria had died down. And also that none who knew her (increasingly poorly kept) secret had come to accuse her of anything.

The recent hub-bub made her simple filing and monotonous paperwork tasks seem a little pleasant. But she longed for something greater. A mission, perhaps. Travel somewhere exotic. Anything with a bit of true excitement.

It would help get her mind off the niggling feeling that had been back in her mind ever since she'd heard of the attack on radio. That one, demonic little thought, of just how good it tasted to feed off a living human being.

Mina busied herself with her work, behind the desk of the MCA lobby. Perhaps that would keep her in check, she hoped.

The Imperial Brim (February 8, Monday)

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

The construction crew did very well, now all Irulan needs were new hats to sell. She opened her infernal machine and checked her email, Irulan smiled. There was a new bulk order from Roswell. It was a good thing the gremlins didn't damage the tin foil hats.

(Open)

Cabot and Associates - Tuesday, 02/09

[cutsthestrings.livejournal.com]

Valentine's Day was coming up. She knew that. It had been part of her 'I know nothing about basic, simple facts of life that most people grew up knowing about if only through cultural osmosis' research when she'd first started on the island.

That was why she was considering things, working stuff out, trying to figure out if she was being smart or emotional, mean or fair or... who knew what. She'd tried to ignore it, of course. There had been a good two, three weeks of pretending that she wouldn't notice the whole thing happening at all in between her self-assigned work and the Endless Demands of a kitten. But while she could do many things, she could not (or at least, she would not) cut Valentine's Day from the calendar.

No, she'd just... do her work, be glad that Miss Cabot had her class today, and consider the relative advantages to running away to Venezuela for the weekend. Yes, because that was wise.

The Boards - Rehearsal - Tuesday, 02/09

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

The problem with forgetting to eat sometimes and then eating what food is in the refrigerator of your theater is that occasionally, in an art-crazed stupor, you eat something you shouldn't.

Geoffrey had done such a thing, and as such there was a somewhat uncomfortable looking director waiting for them, sipping not on his usual coffee but on a cup of flat cola.

[ocd up! question in OOC!]

The Arms Hotel Lobby, Tuesday [2/9]

[montecito-east.livejournal.com]

There were artichokes all over the front desk today. Mary had no idea where they came from. She struggled to gather them all up, being careful not to prick herself on the thorns. "Gunther, your fruit and vegetable deliveries aren't supposed to be in the lobby" she screamed in the direction of the kitchen.

Welcome to the Arms Hotel!

Cafe Fina, Tuesday [2/9]

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

In between customers, Lion-o had a dilemma to go over with the pepper shaker and a couple of the forks. "How do I find a date for the dance?" he asked, looking very perplexed. Unfortunately, answers he was getting just left Lion-o even more confused.

'Dite's Decadent Delights, Tuesday afternoon

[trigons_child]

Raven had missed work last week due to vampire biteage, but she returned today and actually took a look at the changes 'Dite had made since the gremlin invasion. It did seem vaguely like a temple now, almost like the Temple of Azarath. Except, you know, with porn.

Dite's Decadent Delights was open, and Raven was still a little pleased about hearing Andy mention the dance on the radio.

Photo Hut, Tuesday

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

Jack was missing the sun and the warmth and the ability to be warm without five layers of clothing, so he set up one of the lighting kits around a prop lounging chair and basked in the glow and heat of three fake suns.

Photo Hut is open for all your camera, photo, or fake-n-bake needs.

Atlas Gym - Tuesday

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

Rose wasn't at Atlas today.

A fact which Jessi was completely aware of and not a little bit pissed over.  The phone call she'd gotten way too early in the morning had just said that Rose and Dimitri had to go to Montana - or Minneapolis - or Missouri or - one of those M places anyway, and Jessi had to come in to cover the shift.

Stupid Rose.  of course she got to run off with Dimitri somewhere whenever she wanted, but did Jessi ever get to go on fun trips with Dimitri?  Noooo.  Of course not.  He was all 'I am too hot and broody' around her and only paid attention to stupid Rose.  She was SO going to kick Rose's ass with her tae bo someday.

She pouted as she sat at the desk, kicking her feet against the wall.  She'd thought they'd had a moment a few months back, but no, Dimitri'd been avoiding her and trying to change her schedule away from his ever since.  And he'd hired another blonde to work at the gym when everyone knew she was the hot blonde gym girl (that Beka chick so didn't count.  Have you SEEN her nails?), and Jessi hated everything right now.  She was very, very ill-used in her pink spandex.

The gym was open, but don't expect much help from the sulking NPC attendant.  She was too busy pouting.  And texting.  And being pissed off.

Stark Industries, Tuesday

[eyebrowgoesup]

Spock arrived on time really his player swears for work on Tuesday and set about performing his duties as he always did, efficiently and to the best of his ability. It was still cold this week, but no one was walking around smelling of chocolate, so he was in a better mood than he had been last week. Not that anyone would be able to tell.

Stark Industries is open.

Fourth Dimension Fine Arts & Antiques, Tuesday

[iamnotallgirl]

Jill had forgotten to set her alarm, so she overslept and had to make a mad dash for the shop. It didn't matter, really. She was still late. She hoped no one would notice.

The gallery was open. Art would make a lovely Valentine's Day present, don't you think?

The Gig, Tuesday [2/9]

[exconnextdoor.livejournal.com]

Kris thought about taking one of the horses out on a trail after feeding and grooming them. Instead, she just let them out in the paddock for some exercise. Besides, it seemed she had to clean the stable today.

The Gig was open.

T&C, Tuesday, 2/9

[living_endless]

Didi overslept and was more than a little late in getting to the shop today.

But it was okay. Apu was trying to arrange marriages for everyone who wandered into the shop. Apparently, he had octuplets to marry off, and had decided Valentine's Day was an excellent time to set up the engagements. It was probably better she hadn't been there or she might have ended up enabling.

Didi managed to convince him she was too old and too not-Hindu for Sandeep and went to the back of the store to find other ways to make herself busy before he got any more bright ideas.

The Perk, Tuesday Evening

[bitten_notshy]

Jack and Emma had left rehearsal together, and had been uncharacteristically quiet during their walk through town. Jack couldn't know what Emma was thinking; he knew he was simply hoping he wouldn't screw anything up.

He let her order their drinks and pay, as she'd promised, and stared out the window as he waited at a table.

[OOC: icecoldfrost modded with permission. Jack's here for one, but the coffee shop is open to other patrons.]

Android's Dungeon, Tuesday

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

Wizard Magazine had an article in it with the top ten love stories in comics. He found himself scoffing out loud about Ratman and Feline Felon's place on the list. Then he stopped, realizing what he'd just done.

"God no wonder I'm single."

Groovy Tunes, Tuesday

[furnaceface]

Today at the Groovy Tunes saw Jono attempting to multitask. He'd spend a few minutes going through a few new albums from a shipment that had just come in, and then he'd go and put whatever caught his eye into the CD player to give it a listen to. And then from there, he'd grab his guitar (it wasn't a day at work unless he had his guitar) and attempt to play along.

And then, when all of that wound up getting too repetitive, he'd go and pick up a pen and a piece of paper. 'Dear Gayle,' he'd write, and then he'd stare at it for a few minutes, ball it up, throw it in the trash, and repeat the entire process by going to rummage through the new shipment again.

He never quite managed to write anything past the name.

[OCD-free, and open!]

Coyote Medicine, Tuesday 2/9

[loyal-type.livejournal.com]

Well, the greeting cards weren't exactly Valentine's cards. But with Valentine's Day coming up, Oz put the cards on prominent display anyway. And then had fun unpacking and arranging the Wolf Collection of incense burners. There were also miniature fountains with wolves on them.

He wasn't sure why all the wolf stuff had come at the same time.

Caritas [Tuesday evening]

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

Tonight, Robin was leafing through a magazine and quietly dismissing various Valentine's Day ideas. Particularly the recipes.

"Why in god's name would I make a rack of lamb for eight?" she wondered, ignoring Tino's immediate insult under his breath. "There's only two of us. Don't put a recipe for eight in with your date ideas, morons."
