The Gig, Sunday

[kestrelswolf.livejournal.com]

Firekeeper didn't usually skip the welcome picnic, but yesterday she'd been- well, still sulking in her own way about Katniss having to leave. She still had Blind Seer, of course, but both of them agreed that the room seemed far too empty without their friend and hunting partner. At the same time, they were relieved to find that the school hadn't assigned a new roommate.

In any case, with all the new faces milling about, there was definitely some comfort in the familiar, although the horses were disappointed at the lack of gossip about new students.

Perhaps I'll have something to share next week, Firekeeper said placatingly, rolling her eyes in fond exasperation.

Luke's - Sunday

[notlikebobby.livejournal.com]

With the influx of new people, Jack felt like this summer was going to be a good one. He had a job, he had plans to visit home to see Courtney and Marcus and he was taking a couple of classes to keep busy. Now all he had to do was get out and get his social life back and it was going to be the start of a good school year.

He was even smiling while he wiped down tables. Weird.

Turtle & Canary, Sunday

[swordsandsoccer.livejournal.com]

Work and newbie weekend had sort of distracted Dolf from his brooding for just a little while, but it couldn't last forever. While the morning passed by easily enough, by afternoon Dolf was starting to feel down again, his thoughts dwelling back to his friend.

It made him fidgety.

Eventually, Apu gave in and let him fidget with the radio, too, which kept him busy for as long as it took him to find a frequency for the Wereldomroep. Maybe hearing the news in his own language would be soothing somehow, or at least occupy his mind with something else.

Except Fandom couldn't do anything right today, apparently: the Wereldomroep presenter managed to get about three words out before the frequency was commandeered by Omroep Brabant, the station for the province of Brabant.

Which wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't for the songs - or rather, song - they kept playing on repeat. "Dan denk ik aan Brabant, want daar brandt nog licht!"

Not only was it incredibly earwormy, but it made Dolf homesick, which would explain why he spent the rest of the afternoon sulking on the desk while Guus Meeuwis kept crowing on about missing Brabant.

[[ open! * 'then I think of Brabant, because the lights are still burning there.' oh, that song. ]]

Fixer-Uppers, Sunday!!!

[the_merriest]

Another semester, woo! Rikku was taking a break from teaching -- hopefully a short one!!! She really liked telling kids about science, but her mun she needed a wee bit of time off from it. So she was back doing what she did best: fixing stuff and being hyper.

The sign out front was as eyeblindingly horrifying pretty as always, and there were engines to be cleaned! How could today be anything other than awesome, when she had engines to clean?

(OPEN and OCD-free and expecting at least one to inquire about a job! There are an additional two spots open -- priority given to seniors who need to stay on-island, but after that, fair game!)

Devil's Nest - Evening

[rivaini-pirate.livejournal.com]

There was a lot of commotion going on up at the school, but Isabela couldn't quite care. It was the commotion in town that interested her more, at the least ones that ended up with fun or gold for her.

She smirked as the table in the lounge where a bunch of Vikings - that was how everyone kept calling them - were passed out from drinking too much Everclear. They were like dwarves in a manner, and even easier to manipulate. The only evidence of her crime was the play card sticking to the wannabe dwarf's head and the sack of coin she had safely stored under the counter.

It'd been almost too easy.

Taste of Thai, Sunday, Midday

[angelo_wings]

Even with no school, this had been a ridiculously busy week for Rinoa, what with fighting with breaking up with Squall since he was being a jerk, and then finding out Seifer was coming here, now, and letting him take her out to lunch. Which may or may not be a date, depending. It was a little soon to be dating but she could totally date if she wanted to, thank you very much.

This probably wasn't a date, and that was why she had a very casual sort of dress on. Nice, but not fancy or anything. So!

So. Here they were, at Taste of Thai. She should not be nervous about being on a not-a-date with her ex-boyfriend, should she?

"The sesame delight is good," she said, helpfully.

(for the ex, but open for anyone else who wants Thai!)
