Book Haven: Thursday [2-10-11]

Millie was reading romance novels. It seemed appropriate. And, well, after Saturday night... she'd been spending an awful lot of time thinking about it. And Max.

Covent Garden Flowers :: Thursday, February 10

[auntie-vida.livejournal.com]

Late Wednesday afternoon, Vida had gotten a delivery of the Love Monkeys she'd ordered, but instead of the cute little stuffed animals she was expecting, she found herself with a shipment of small very much alive monkeys that immediately launched themselves at her legs, clinging for dear life.

"Oh, dear, while you are terribly adorable, I can't possibly take care of you all!" she'd told them. She gave them water and Valentine's candy (it seemed to be what they wanted to eat) and shut them in the back room while she made calls to the supplier to come pick them back up.

Pity she hadn't realized the monkeys would know how to open up the window and escape. Ooops.

The Gig: Thursday [2-10-11]

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

Helen was happily at The Gig. And even more happily there after class since she didn't need to declare her love to the horses. Though, honestly, she wouldn't have minded that as much. Which might be why they all got extra apples and sugar lumps.

Turtle & Canary; Thursday [ 02/10 ].

[sake-shinigami.livejournal.com]

If there was anything that Turtle & Canary needed, it was clearly more wild animals. But at least Shunsui could claim they finally had something on Anything But the Monkey.

And how could he not adore the little thing always scampering all over him and cuddling him and swiping his hat to try wear it cutely as she babbled on with little monkey adoration.

"I think her name will be Saru-chan ♥," Shunsui decided fondly.

Apu opened his mouth, about to inform Shunsui that he was pretty sure that monkey was male, but Shunsui shot him a warning look.

"Her name," he insisted firmly, "will be Saru-chan."

And that was going to be all they'd say about that.

Magic Box, Thursday, 2/10

[life_inshadow]

There Tara was behind the counter of the Magic Box, a normal witch on a normal Thursday in a relatively normal supernatural and new age supplies shop.

Not normal: The love monkey on her lap who kept snuggling into her neck and shoulders. He'd hugged her neck and chittered at her, and he was too adorable to let go. (And didn't seem amenable to the idea either way.)

She would refrain from baby talk.

[OOC: Open shop, but I am a bit swamped and may not pick up tags until after work.]

Arms Hotel Lobby, Thursday [2/10]

[awesomebigsis.livejournal.com]

Ellie was mildly amused today. There were love monkeys swinging from the chandelier in the lobby. They were also giving everyone hugs. Ellie didn't mind the hugs at all. She liked hugs. Gunther apparently didn't. He just kept complaining about them. No one was surprised.

Welcome to the Arms Hotel!

Nast Sporting Goods, Thursday [2/10]

[mathletenomore.livejournal.com]

Lindsay raised an eyebrow at the monkey that tried to hug her. After a moment, it actually succeeded. She was so weirded out by this, but at the same time, she thought it was kind of adorable.

"Just don't knock anything over, okay?" she told the love monkeys.

She was talking to the monkeys now. Only in this town.

Strokes of Genius: Thursday, 2/10

[onlymistaken]

So if Cally was behind the counter looking through dress-styles for the Valentine's Dance on her data-pad, that was.... vaguely artistic, right? Right.

Strokes of Genius was open and if anyone asked, she was studying design aesthetics.

With a small pink anthropoid looking over her shoulder and chittering excitedly. No, she had no idea. No, she wasn't going to ask.

The Perk- Thursday evening

[solo_sword]

Jaina liked that so far, nothing weird had happened today. No weird naked baby angels trying to shoot at her with anything, no rose petals, nothing. This meant that she was happy to get out of her apartment for a while and get coffee.

It was just that she made the mistake of sitting on one of the sofas while she waited for her order, completely unaware of the love monkey perched on the far arm of it, waiting to pounce on the first person to sit. So that was how Jaina ended up with a cuddly monkey attached to her arm, because it had found someone to hug and apparently it wasn't letting go. The annoying thing was, every time Jaina tried to get it off of her, it'd look up at her with big eyes and she felt bad. When they called her order and she had to get her coffee with a monkey still attached to her forearm, she told it, "I am not taking you home with me," and reclaimed her seat on the sofa because apparently she was going to be here for a while.


[Come play with love monkeys with me.]

Devil's Nest [after sunset]

[texted3times]

It had taken Eric several days to get his affairs in a semblance of order in Shreveport, but now he was back in Fandom, trying to figure out exactly what had drawn him to this particular place when his memory had fled him.

...he was fairly sure it wasn't the clinging monkeys. "I will eat you," he said icily the one holding onto his lower leg.

The monkey looked up at him with adorable eyes.

"I've eaten worse than you over the past thousand years," he added, glancing around. His eyes settled on a sign that caught his attention. "Devil's Nest?" he said aloud, moving closer to peer through the windows.

A few minutes later, he was calling Pam, asking her to look into his purchasing a night club in Maryland.

After his brush with the witches, it seemed wise to vary his movements for a little while.

[OOC: Nightclub is closed, Eric is available for all of your broody vampire needs.]

Fixer-Uppers, Thursday

[child-of-rer.livejournal.com]

Sov had almost forgot about the assignment for Pop Culture, and since this was the last day they saw no other solution than to wear the zoot suit to work. It wasn't very practical, perhaps, but never mind.

Today Sov was trying to take apart a broken TV. It was unlikely that they would be able to make it work.

[Fixer-Uppers is open!]

Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center, Thursday

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"Wanna shoot!" Jan crowed. This had been roughly the eighty-second time she had said so. She had started saying so that morning when she had first caught sight of one of the love monkeys - it had briefly increased in frequency after one had attached itself to her wee little body and hugged it - and she had yet to stop advocating violence towards the poor creatures.

He should really start teaching her pacifist philosophies as well, Cable reflected, before this got too far out of hand.

On the other hand...

He shook his metal arm until the monkey detached itself and went flying.

"I'm kind of starting to long for a gun myself..."

[[ open! I was... totally going to put this up before, yes. ]]

Coyote Medicine, Friday

[allyofthevarden.livejournal.com]

Arya opened up the shop and placed a bowl of candied hearts with the sayings in a bowl on the counter. That was the extent of her Valentine's Day candy binge. The decorations were still up. She'd take them down next week.
