Atlas Gym [8/30]

[lovethenubbins.livejournal.com]

It was oddly quiet in the gym today. Ashley almost even missed Jessi's inane babble.

She sat at the desk, idly flipping through papers and things, trying to make sure everything was organized. Hopefully it would be a busy day.

Luke's Diner, August 30 (Monday)

[laceycantlie.livejournal.com]

Lacey was expecting something to go awry today -- attitude from the soda fountain or some kind of battle of attrition in the crisper drawer. Something.

So far, nothing untoward had happened.

She'd take that as a good sign . . . but she'd spend most of the day with a spatula within reach, just in case.

Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center, Monday

[stayingfrosty.livejournal.com]

Price's first week of trying to be 'more civilian' meant showing up for work in jeans and a t-shirt.

It looked rather silly, really.

So there was a man desperately attempting to look casual behind the counter filled with guns. He was even doing a crossword during his downtime.

[ooc: Open, OCD-Free post. Wooo]

Stark Industries, Monday

[endsthegame]

It was a new semester and a new batch of students, so Ender brought out the HELP WANTED sign and left it near the front window. Underneath, he quickly doodled in a (Stark Industries is a technology firm) to make things clearer (and next to it, ALL QUESTIONS ANSWERED).

Satisfied, he went back inside and booted up the holographic projector.

Today, apparently, the annoying fruit would be kumquats. They'd already had that one before, so Ender wasn't worried.

[[ open! ]]

Trooper Station; Monday [ 08/30 ].

[colourfulscents.livejournal.com]

Angua, feeling better and even a little personable with the waning of the moon, settled in for another boring day of deskwork at the station, so she didn't think much of the folder Ralph had handed her.

Until she looked at it. Her jaw tightened.

"Ralph," she said, "what is this?"

He only shrugged, and Angua opened the folder. "This is a joke, right?"

Sadly, Ralph shook his head. Angua looked at the second page. "You cannot be serious."

And then Ralph looked apologetic*, and Angua could only let out a long, disparaging groan. How was this even possible? She had certainly not signed up for this. She would not sign up for something like this. She was not a teacher, she was a bloody werewolf. But there it was, syllabus and everything, and she couldn't help but wonder if somehow, Carrot was involved, but she knew better than that. Carrot would at least tell her.

And look at that, they even bloody picked out a TA for her. "Maladicta," she muttered the name with distaste. "Why does that sound so familia--?"

Frowning, Angua pulled out her Gooseberry and bravely sat through his annoying entreaties to help before simply asking it to go write a note to Carrot and see if he'd know. The message came back quickly, and very simply:

"Borogravia, in their most recent war with Zlobenia, Lance Corporal of the Tenth Foot. Is everything okay?"

...

"Oh, bloody hell!"

No, it most certainly was not okay.

* Okay, Ralph smelled apologetic.

Turtle & Canary; Monday [ 08/30 ].

[sake-shinigami.livejournal.com]

The Shunsui who came into the store was a much quieter, reserved Shunsui than normal. Mostly because he hadn't had to come in on Mondays before, but now...well, he didn't have to, but there was actually things to do and new students and teachers in town to entice into buying things and being employed, and so there he was.

He poured himself a cup of coffee and hummed a quiet tune to himself as he went to feeding the turtle and the canary and getting Bob-chan up and running and giving Apu-san directions for what to stock on on the shelves with today.

The whole thing was very ordinary, very regular, very simple and like any other day.

He felt it was the least he could do ♥.

The beach, Monday morning

[showmetheproof.livejournal.com]

No classes today, and Scully needed the distraction of accomplishing something to avoid thinking about her conversation with Mulder yesterday. So running five miles around the island on a long and looping route seemed like a good idea.

She stopped on the beach, taking her pulse and checking her time. Not bad. Enough to qualify for the 5K in Baltimore, at least. She started walking to cool down, watching the ocean, and thinking about her dad.

[oh so open]

Dite's Decadent Delights

[glacial_queen]

An influx of new students meant that someone, somewhere was going to be confused by the nature of 'Dite's store. And as hilarious as that usually was to deal with, Karla was feeling generous enough to clear up that misunderstanding before it started.

In the window, there was another sign:

Most of the delights we sell are not edible.

If you're looking for a candy store, keep on walking.

There, that should help.

Magic Box, Monday

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

Alex had the Magic Box open on time and was currently tidying up the front displays. Not that they really needed it -- she just wanted something to do.

The Magic Box is open.

Pixie Dust, Monday

[gorka-wolf.livejournal.com]

Fall semester. That sounded weird to say, let alone think, but Makita could deal with it.

15% off for new students.
Don't get hazed because you dress funny!

(yes, we'll mock you)

Pixie Dust was totally open, and Makita was at the counter for all your fashion needs.

The Gig, Monday

[justlike_a_girl]

Dani had hoped to go riding today, but it seemed to take forever to get through all of the chores and cleaning that had accumulated. She ended up feeding a few sugar cubes to Smudge as an apology for skipping out on their ride.

"What do you think, Smudge? Where should we be advertising for more help?" she asked. Smudge didn't offer any advice, but Duke snorted in the next stall.

The Gig was open, and the "Help Wanted" sign was still up.

Book Haven, Monday

[notmyownage]

Claudia was feeling fairly worn down, today. She blamed it on the new semester starting. Not because she was stressed out about the semester, but mostly just because she could.

She decided to stick with hanging out behind the counter with her notes on Rheticus. She had to save that energy for classes, right? Totally more important than shelving books.

There were days when Claudia wondered how she still had this job.

Book Haven was open.

Caritas, Monday

[shagthis.livejournal.com]

The last time Jake had entertained the notion of being on this side of the bar, it had been when he and Christian had been planning to open their own.

And then Christian had taken off with all Jake's money, the shagging bastard. Jake wasn't likely to forgive him for that anytime soon.

He was a little too busy arguing with Tino to dwell on the past, though.

"How stunned are you?" Jake rolled his eyes. "White rum and dark rum are nothing alike. Jaysus."

The Park | Monday Evening

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

Mooby burgers were so not the same. Nico had decided to give the fast food joint a chance since there was no McDonald's presence on the island (insane as that sounded) but he was regretting it after two chews of 'udderly delicious' burger. Rather than waste the food, he wandered down to sit on a bench in the park, thinking some weird Fandom bird or fish might be willing to eat what he didn't want.

The choking sounds the flamingo made as it scurried off after gnawing at a piece of bread had Nico guessing this was a bad plan. At least the bovine-sized fries were sufferable. Still not good enough if he was planning to raise the dead, but for a late night snack, Nico would deal.

[Open!]
