Book Haven, Tuesday

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

Yesterday had left her in a whimsical mood and Hinata could be found checking the inventory and marking on a separate pad of paper a few books that she was interested in reading from the sounds of the backs of them.

Not, she acknowledged wryly, that the backs of books always corresponded to what was inside of them.

With hope, however...

Book Haven is Open.

Covent Garden Flowers, Tuesday

[intraspective]

Ino was yawning as she wandered around the store rearranging and cleaning and organizing the displays. It had been one of those nights, where her dreams held more power over her than she really liked and Ino had spent half the night sleepless though curled up in bed.

It was tempting, almost, to fall asleep on the job.

But she couldn't do that and a larger part of her didn't want to. If she stayed up, then her dreams would hold less power over her when she fell asleep tonight.

It made sense to her.

Covent Garden Flowers

MCA Lobby [9/21]

[nomoreveruca.livejournal.com]

Cally had transplanted her sign from her house to the MCA front door today, with one small modification.

No Fish Evil Robots Allowed was proudly proclaimed. They didn't serve their kind, here.

Meanwhile, Cally was reading up on force field technology and not understanding a word of it. She was a mechanic-by-neccessity, not an engineer. She wasn't going to be pimping out her house with forcefields and laser cannons any time soon.

Even though she really, really wanted to.

Anyone stopping in the lobby today would see the landlady poring over technical manuals that were way beyond her comprehension. The diagrams were, though, something she found amazing. And kinda hot.

[ooc: Open post! OCD Free! Warning that from approx 3:30 pm CT - 8:30 pm CT I will be AFK. Stupid grad school.]

Pixie Dust; Tuesday [ 09/21 ].

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Ariel was absolutely, completely, and totally useless at work today. She couldn't help it! Today was Tuesday, which was only one day away from Wednesday, and Wednesday was her date with Bruce, and, once she thought about that, she was reduced to a dreamy, wistful sigh and could think of nothing else. Anything she could do out on the floor just resulted in her trying to figure out what she could possibly wear, because, clearly, it had to be absolutely perfect.

She was so distracted that she didn't even think to put the sign out, but, really, with the way things were going, she might not even need the sign anymore. Ariel was pretty sure that people with sort-of boyfriends didn't have glittery signs eliciting kisses. Of course, she wasn't sure; it was something she'd have to ask Rinoa about, obviously.

Pixie Dust is open!

MHA Lobby | Tuesday | September 21

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

Loki was staring at his computer screen. Look, it wasn't often that he played older versions of games so trying to figure out how the fuck to play Oregon Trail without putting his fist through the monitor was difficult.

"Stop fucking dying of dysentery, you bitch!" he yelled, slamming a hand on the counter top. "I am going to leave your ass in one of the rivers!"

A few minutes later, when he attempted to caulk his wagon and float across the river, the poor wagon tipped and lost half of his supplies. Loki let off a long, loud string of cursing then. Shut up, Oregon Trail was serious business.

Turtle & Canary; Tuesday [09/21].

[sake-shinigami.livejournal.com]

A new shipment of fluffy down pillows had arrived that morning at Turtle & Canary and Shunsui, being the good manager that he was, was ensuring of the quality of each one and giving them a test-run so that he could be sure that his customers would be satisfied with the product.

Oh, yes. These were very nice, no trouble with these at al--Zzzzzz.

Dite's Decadent Delights, Tuesday afternoon

[trigons_child]

Raven had a book to read during her shift at the store, but she was poking at the store's inventory of bath items first. She still felt a little weird from having zombie piranha inside her, so maybe a long, hot, decadent bath would be just the thing to make her feel better. Especially after her visit to Sherlock's office.

There was one rubber ducky-shaped item that she did not need, however. Though that didn't stop her from staring at it for awhile.

The Arms Hotel Lobby, Tuesday [9/21]

[montecito-east.livejournal.com]

Mary was finding it hard to focus today. She'd accidentally come across an article about the closing of the Liberace museum in Las Vegas. When she was a kid, she used to go there with Danny and his mother. She really wished she could go back one more time before they closed.

Welcome to the Arms Hotel!

Groovy Tunes, Tuesday

[furnaceface]

There was no special sign hanging up in the doorway today.

Jono had his guitar with him, but he certainly wasn't playing it.

Even the music was a bit on the subdued side, really. And could anyone blame him? He'd spent an impressive amount of time yesterday in Haven, playing footie with giant bomb-dropping explosive robots with Jak.

He was there, and the Groovy Tunes was even open, but today, Jonothon was grabbing a much-needed nap in his seat by the counter.

[Open and OCD free! Sorry for the later-than-usualness of this. I got distracted by Kazoo de Chocobo.]

Luke's Diner [Tuesday, September 21st]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Sookie wasn't much of a grammar person, really. She was a really good speller -- state spelling bee champion when she was in elementary school, in fact -- and she'd always loved reading. But she'd never been particularly attuned to the nuances of grammar.

And yet, even she knew that those quotation marks around "NEW SPECIAL" were out of place. She wasn't going to comment, though she'd be resisting the urge to turn them into stars or something all day long.

Caritas [Tuesday]

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

Given that tonight was the Canucks' first game of the pre-season, Robin was barely attending to the bar. She was wearing her jersey, of course, and had brought the autographed stick that Benton had got her. (Most awesome husband ever, yes or yes?) and was trying to watch the TV from behind the bar.

The angle sucked, but not so much that she wasn't able to yell at the screen. There was never an angle too bad for that.

[and thank you to shagthis for letting me know what tonight is.]

Stark Industries [Wednesday]

[faithandscience.livejournal.com]

It was William's first day of work, so of course he showed up bright and early, tea and toast in hand. And much like yesterday, he was once again wearing jeans and one of the shirts Ariel had picked out for him. The fact that all the clothing he had arrived with was in desperate need of a wash had helped make that particular decision.

But enough about his fashion choices. William spent the day familiarising himself with, well, at least the locations of various items in the store.

Stark Industries was open! Enthusiastically, if not quite yet knowledgeably so.
