Wellspring Arms & Meditation Centre, Wednesday

[intraspective]

After yesterday, Ino admitted to herself, that working here was almost a break.

It wasn't like the store was ever really busy, after all, because they weren't allowed to sell things and while meditation wasn't a bad thing to teach it had nothing on the sheer business that she'd been enjoying yesterday. There was nothing to be done about that, however, but pull out a book and sip her hot chocolate and read. She could keep her mind busy, at the very least and that would have to be good enough.

Wellspring Arms is Open.

Fixer-Uppers [Wednesday]

[faithandscience.livejournal.com]

After Science(!!!) class yesterday, William had been inspired to investigate further the subject of heredity, because it was truly fascinating.

Only every single book he'd opened had been, well- it was entirely possible he was still blushing.

Thankfully that was not the case today, and so William was spending his free time at the shop with his nose buried in a book.

Things Reborn; Wednesday [ 02/09 ].

Considering how things had been going, Alexander was expecting something strange to be awaiting him when he came into work at Things Reborn today. Mostly, he was expecting any assortment of winged cherubs that he'd realized were associated with the holiday coming up, or perhaps the awful cat statues to become overly amorous, but he came in to none of thise things.

What he did come in to...he had no idea what it was.

He frowned as he turned it over, inspecting it from all angles for some hint of purpose or aesthetics, but to no avail. It remained an utter mystery, but the more he held it, the creepier he felt and so he quickly put it aside, giving it wary glances every now and then.

He's almost prefer the cherubs...

Things Reborn is open!

Post Office: Wednesday

[old-and-busted.livejournal.com]

After a week of "renovations" the post office was up and running at full speed. Unfortunately the well oiled machine developed a hiccup when the cherubs arrived and hit one of the workers with an arrow, causing some friction in the workplace. The targeted worker in question immediately began expounding on his love for another co-worker in his native language which unfortunately sounded like a cross between beatboxing and a rap song from the early 90s.

K was not having any of that. A series four deatomizer was procured and a warning shot was fired above a cherub's floppy little perm.

"Attention all personifications of love! The use of any firearms or weapons including bows and arrows for emotional purposes is prohibited by federal law unless handled by your truly!" K declared. "Unless you have any official business pertaining to the mailing of parcel items, packages or valentines please leave the premises or all the cute little hairdos you have will be permanently removed."

The post office is open for business.

There are no cherubs present.

Pixie Dust, Wednesday [2/9]

[sweet-balls.livejournal.com]

Shelley was trying her best to get out of a funk. She was wearing her favorite hot pink sweater and matching dangling-heart earrings, but the brightly dyed cashmere wasn't working its normal magic.

She had brought in a stack of colored paper, scissors, markers, and her BeDazzler with the intention of making some personalized valentines, but her heart just wasn't in it. With a sigh, she looked towards the closest mannequin and asked, "Will you be my valentine?"

She hadn't noticed the wee naked love cherub flying above the dressing rooms...

Pixie Dust is open!

Trooper Station, Wednesday

[solesofmyfeet.livejournal.com]

There were, of course, already calls flooding in about the sudden upswing in Dwarf-sized, bow and arrow wielding winged men firing at innocent bystanders in the name of 'love'. Descriptions were taken, tickets written out, arrests made until there was a jail cell full of them.

One unfortunate incident involving Ralph and another trooper had Vimes retreating to his office by midday. There were just some things a commanding officer did not need to see. Ever.

So, for now, he was actually making an attempt at paperwork as he pointedly ignored the alleged 'Cupid' perched on a filing cabinet with its bow drawn in hopes of making a love connection with Vimes and the next person to enter the office. "Hate to see what would happen if that went off," Vimes said, not glancing up from his work. "Someone's apt to get hurt."

The who in that was left up to the imagination of the now slightly nervous Cupid.

The Junkyard, Wednesday afternoon

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

Sure, it was a little chilly out for hanging out outside. But there was science to do and Tony got a warm jacket, so it wasn't even on the radar. It was the kind of science that occasionally involved explosions and other things that bespoke CGI.

But enough about horrible animation!

Tony fiddled with the gauntlet as he waited for Ben to arrive. There was no such thing as over-tweaking his designs, damn it.

((For that Jedi, but open like a junkyard!))

Mystery Sign Theatre, Wednesday

[vanillajello]

Kate had a big takeaway coffee in hand when she came to work today. This was because she'd swung by the Perk on her way in, and one of the baristas who'd generally been most wary of her had suddenly been all smiles and insisted she have anything she wanted and that it'd be on him.

When he'd tried to touch her hair she'd snagged her coffee and left.

At the theater, she was pleased to have something playing that had all kinds of ridiculous action scenes going on to balance out the romance elements. This was as close to a romantic movie she really wanted to go right now, especially after yesterday's TV malfunctions.

Luke's Diner, Wednesday [2/9]

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

Lion-o volunteered to tend to the planters today. He was fascinated by the tiny little green peppers. He'd never seen ones that small before, but they appeared to be fully ripe and ready for harvest. It wasn't until Lion-o bit into one that he realized it was a jalapeno, not a green pepper.

He should have just stuck with hating all green vegetables.

Groovy Tunes, Wednesday [2/9]

[mathletenomore.livejournal.com]

Lindsay was seriously considering going home for a few days. Kim's birthday was this weekend, and she thought a surprise visit was a necessity. Of course, she probably should bring a present. She was already in the best place to find something, which is why she was looking through the vinyl collection. There had to be something in there Kim didn't already own.

Groovy Tunes was open.

Turtle & Canary, Wednesday

[i-am-the-rat.livejournal.com]

Somehow, the little cupids had managed to hit Hank with a few arrows while Apu was in the back room and the panda had ducked down to inspect the bottom shelf of the cheese aisle. And no one else was in the store.

That didn't leave his love-addled little brain with much to fixate on, unfortunately.

"Dude, I think I'm in love," Hank sighed to himself. "...with this FLAVOR!!!" He had his mouth on one of Bob's chilly nozzles and was skillfully working the lever.

And Bob, on her part, had one MORE reason to hate Hank. And an empty chamber that needed refilling.

Caritas | Wednesday

[tripledmyself.livejournal.com]

For the second week in a row, Nathan ambled into Caritas on Wednesday night. And, for the second week in a row, the regular bartender was a no show. When Tino looked imploringly over at Nathan with wide eyes, who was Nathan to resist the call?

He had to duck a freaking flying naked baby thing to get back behind the bar which was annoying. He didn't need a freaking arrow in his ass to add to his already strange life. Arrow in the ass would just be hard to explain.

"Get these fucking things out of here," Nathan said authoritatively, thrusting a broom into Tino's hand and kicking his ass a kick to get him out and confronting the naked babies. Not even five later, Tino had an arrow in his arm and was making sex eyes at one of the zombies.

Ew.
