Book Haven, Tuesday

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

It was a quietly thoughtful Hinata that came to work today, with Yei quite content to be a sleepy little bundle of fur in her arms as she entered the shop. Blinking to adjust her eyes to being inside, Hinata set Yei down on one of the comfortable chairs, which earned her a half-open eye and a mew.

Hinata smiled and went about opening the shop. Perhaps she'd clean, she thought, as there was rarely something better to do when she was in a mood such as this. Yes, cleaning would do quite nicely, she decided, and went to fetch the supplies for that.

Book Haven is Open.

Covent Garden Flowers, Tuesday

[intraspective]

The music was on today, if playing rather quietly, and Ino was in a contemplative mood as she sorted through what needed to be done at the shop in order to be quite well prepared for any flower need. It was busy work, but necessary, and it let her feel like she was doing something useful.

Really, Ino thought, that was what she needed to do. Just keep busy and don't think and maybe that would work. It didn't do much for her sleeping habits, but it made the days go by faster.

The Arms Hotel Lobby, Tuesday [1/25]

Mary wasn't sure why a special delivery arrived at the hotel this morning. She certainly hadn't ordered the shovel that was in the box, though she suspected that Gunther had something to do with it. He was always ordering strange things from late-night infomercials.

Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center, Tuesday

Things had been calm in Fandom for a few weeks now. That meant Cable was doing the exact opposite of sitting still; he was ordering in more weapons. The likelihood of the island getting hit again increased with every day they came closer to summer, after all. It was only good practice to make sure they were stocked.

A side matter involved Jan, and the new BB gun he'd ordered her. Her motor skills wouldn't be quite up to par to learn to shoot in any real sense just yet, but it did mean it was becoming time to start teaching her the first few rules about gun safety.

... In other words, yes, that was a giant, half-metal man looking very serious as he lectured a three-and-a-half-year-old child on how to hold and fire a water gun properly.

Incidentally, the HELP WANTED sign was also up on the door.

Luke's Diner [Tuesday]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Sookie was still pulling her hair up into a ponytail when she rushed into the diner, pleased enough to be here after her absence -- and the reason for that absence -- last week. On her way in, she nearly tripped over a smallish package addressed to Lacey. It could have been the nails she'd been expecting, sure, but it more likely a book with a severely obvious purpose. Only time would tell, since Sookie didn't read other people's mail, and just stuck it behind the counter.

Turtle & Canary, Tuesday

[onapalebicycle.livejournal.com]

George had shoe polish, and was using it to make a sign. One which read:

I ASSURE YOU, WE'RE OPEN

She had rolled her eyes when Apu had pointed out that no one thought they were closed, to begin with. "It's from a movie," she said. "Forget it."

Pixie Dust; Tuesday [ 01/25 ].

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

The, er...events of last night had done a good job of keeping Ariel from thinking too much about things and getting a little down about them, and she did feel better overall. It helped that she could focus on the newspaper meeting later today, and she was even going to avoid the temptation of fashion while at work today and flip through a book she'd picked up at the library about astronomy.

If she was going to be doing horoscopes, she better have at least some idea of what she was doing, but it didn't look that hard. It looked like a lot of fun, and now she was getting all sort of ideas for all the signs.

Pixie Dust is open!

Caritas [Tuesday evening]

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

While Robin had had a fun time last week with the blizzard, being back to normal ambient coolness was not neeearly as much fun. So by the time she'd gotten to the bar, she'd already saved up a bunch of ire to throw at Tino, only to find that he wasn't there, and that there was a text asking her to, in fact, 'suck it' on her phone.

Oh, how the tables had turned.
