Coyote Medicine, Friday

[allyofthevarden.livejournal.com]

Arya decided that since it was February and Valentine's Day was right around the corner (a holiday she still didn't quite understand), it was time to hang up some appropriately themed decorations.

She was all for celebrating the holidays.

Pixie Dust, Friday

[ashockingbitch]

Jenny felt she should encourage good clothes-buying habits in this time of lace. To that end, there was a sign in the window of Pixie Dust today:

15% OFF
ANYTHING THAT'S NOT PINK OR RED

Pixie Dust was open. Jenny was cranky, but that was normal.

Luke's Diner | Friday

[therewaslife]

There wasn't a lot going on today at the diner. Bod greeted everyone quietly, chatting for a few minutes with each staff member before he'd made his way out of the front and started wiping the counters down. He made sure to wipe around his ever present book and looked to be lost in his thoughts while he scrubbed. It was becoming all too common for him to get lost in his head lately. His thoughts were a lot more forgiving than reality.

Luke's was open!

Fixer-Uppers [all day]

[momslilassassin]

Ben had been working quite happily on his datapad for an hour without incident.

Then he accidentally clicked on an ad and ended up in an endless loop of quizzes ("Do You Care Too Much?" "What Kind of Lover Are You?" "Are You With the Right Person?" "The Kinsey Test Made Simple!!1!").

"Go away, go away, go away..." Ben muttered, blushing hard.

Fixer-Uppers was open! And embarrassed.

Things Reborn, Friday [2/4]

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

Harper was a static-charged mess today. She kept getting little zaps of static electricity every time she touched anything in the store, but especially when she was working on the new window display. Her hair was standing on end by the time she was done dressing all of the mannequins in their cute little sweaters.

"You know, it's a really good thing your hair is plastic. It doesn't need to be combed or brushed or loaded down with tons of hair spray to look good," she commented to the last mannequin as she struggled to put its arms in place.

[Open! The OCD has been zapped out of existence.]

The Perk; Friday Afternoon [ 02/04 ].

[bootlessjane.livejournal.com]

Though these were activities that could have been very easily held inside her apartment, Jane felt like getting out a bit more than that and getting some fresh air on the way to the Perk. Besides, how could she hope to come across more wildlife stuffed inside an apartment? She couldn't, and so there she was, settling down at a table with a lovely cup of tea and some writing materials to start fashioning a letter back home to bring her father up to date on everything so far.

It was impressive, really, how quickly a simple letter was building up into a near novella, Jane's pen a flurry as she just kept writing and writing and writing. It was a good thing that Professor Archimedes Q. Porter was quite fond of reading.


[[ open for all your perkly needs, of course!! ]]

'Dite's Decadent Delights, Friday evening

[divinesurfchick.livejournal.com]

It had been a decent week; after saying goodbye to the group Aphrodite had stayed to play in Disneyland for a day before returning home to Fandom.

Hercules kept shooting her baleful glares before pretending to ignore her, but when she sat down in a chair he was immediately on her lap. With a sigh, she spent some time petting him, knowing he was feeling neglected. She decided he would go to the suite with her tonight, then set about doing paperwork at the store so she could sleep in the next day.

She turned on the radio to add some noise, and since the store wasn't officially open, 'Dite switched the station around until she found a report about unrest in Egypt. Frowning, she settled down to listen. Things sounded bad, but since the army wasn't attacking, 'Dite had a feeling Cupid and Bliss had things well in hand.

After a handwavey text message to Karla to let her know she was back, 'Dite settled into the paperwork. Occasionally she glanced at the phone. She still owed Dinah a call, but since it was Friday she wasn't sure if her friend would be available or not. Just as she was reaching for the phone again, Hercules jumped up and knocked over 'Dite's drink onto several order sheets, and the idea of calling Dinah was put off. Besides, she had all weekend to catch up with people.

(OOC: Store is not officially open, but if anyone is out and about and sees the light, you're welcome to stop in or call or something.)

Caritas: Friday Night

Jessica was practicing pouring layered shots behind the bar tonight. Butterscotch schnapps and Bailey's...it wasn't going well so far.

Three Minute Dates - Caritas - Saturday night

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

A sign was posted at the front door:
G.O.B. Bluth Presents:
The Tenth Anniversary Edition of
Three Minute Dates at Caritas
hosted by A Matchmaker Named G.O.B.

Just before 6:00, the lights went dark and a sole zombie walked out onto the stage and sat down at a piano. The zombie then started playing The Final Countdown, followed by the other zombies, all with violins to join in. And then GOB walked out onto the stage, holding and petting a lovebird. He then released the bird, which flew up toward the ceiling before somehow getting stuck in an air duct.

As GOB went into his spiel about how 3MD was a Fandom institution that he started and how he had brought so much love to Fandom with it and that the tenth annual (he still hadn't figured that part out) edition demanded the respect that a piano and not doing magic ("Unless any of the legal ladies out there want to see me make another lovebird appear," and yes, he was talking about his penis).

Meanwhile, the lovebird was still stuck in the air duct. As air rushed past the bird and into the lounge, some strange pheromones released by the bird were thrown back at the stage, where it reacted with the already strange combination of zombie smell and cologne used to hide the zombie smell on such a classy occasion, somehow generating a powerful love potion that would be making its way into the lounge, affecting people at random for three minutes at a time. Bizarrely, that was exactly how long each of the dates tonight would be.

Sometimes Fandom worked in mysterious ways. Mysteriously sexy ways.

"I call your names, you meet up with each other, talk for three minutes, and then you'll hear the sound of a zombie smashing his hands against a bunch of piano keys. Go ahead and do it," GOB said. The zombie started smashing the keys randomly. One of the other zombies joined in because a band was all about teamwork. "And that's how we start!"

[Regular post-dates Caritas post]

[OOC: Lots of OCD coming IS UP. RANDOMLY ASSIGNED LOVE POTION IS MARKED IN THREAD TITLES WITH ONE OF THESE "*" AFTER THE AFFECTED PERSON'S NAME! For example: "Nick* / 3MD Participants" means that I will spend the next three minutes loving everyone who signed up. But not in a dirty way because that would be exhausting and I have a sister among the participants and eww.

Remember that you can also choose to be affected by love potion in any round(s) at your discretion. Also, the love potion can only affect people in the lounge during the dates. People at the bar and on the stage will not be affected. People who are affected will just be incredibly drawn to their date, flirt harder, maybe go for some physical contact more quickly, but they shouldn't necessarily go straight for making out. Unless you choose to have them go for it. The upper limit is player's choice.

As I'm going along, if I made an obvious mistake, like skipping a character completely for a round or posting a pairing twice, feel free to grab me on AIM or in the OOC thread and I'll make a quick fix. And remember, attacks on your dates will get you teleported elsewhere on the island.

Also remember that most playing should happen on Saturday, but if you need to finish a thread or two on Sunday, that's fine.

GO FORTH AND PLAY!]
