Cafe Luke's, Monday

[gastronomistic]

Vincent hadn't actually made any fruitcake yet. So when he turned away from the jukebox to get started opening up the restaurant this morning and found one just . . . lurking there, two little cherries on top like eyes staring up at him, he gave a little shriek and hid behind the counter.

The fruitcake didn't go away. In fact, it seemed to follow Vincent around, from the kitchen to the dining area, even back up to his loft. He never saw it move, it was just . . . there.

Watching.

Today's specials:
No, that's not my fruitcake

Luke's was open.

Portalocity Office, Fandom Branch, Monday

[nohattrick.livejournal.com]

After the portals had come back, Trick had gone home for a few days to check on his beloved Dal. He knew every inch of her and wanted to make sure that no one had remembered her wrong. Returning home also meant checking in with Dyson and giving some further information about his whereabouts to the Ash. Which only made sense, because Trick was Light Fae, but he chose to be rather chary with the details. Let the Ash think he was embarrassed to be catering to mortals to repay an old debt rather than actually learn the truth about the crazy island.

...Not that Trick thought he'd uncovered even the beginning of what was crazy about that island.

Coming back, however, he'd been detained by his 'employer;' apparently, someone had found his tweets and decided that he needed to undergo some employee training.

The less said about that, the better, though if any of the Fae needed lessons in hiding, lying, misleading, misdirection, or burying information under a mountain of bureaucracy, Trick knew just where to send them.

Now, back at work, Trick was taking the mandatory computer quizzes that had to pass in order to continue working there. He was also drinking. The two might have been related.

Question 43.

An mother comes into your office with two human children and an infant Adipose. The woman angrily explains that she has three human children and demands to know where her third child is and who the Adipose belongs to. What is your reply?

A. Take a significant glance at her waistline and say you can probably guess.
B. Chastise her for not loving her children equally, regardless of species
C. Require her to provide at least 4 different forms of proof that she did, indeed, have three human children.
D. Charge her for neglect and demand to know where she left her third child.
E. Apologize, offer to help in any way you can, and upgrade her next portal.
F. Start her filling out form P2X7G--Missing Pre-adult (Human)

Was it sad that the only answer Trick knew for sure was wrong was E?

The Perk- Monday night

[smartestone]

Logically Hermione knew that going for coffee at night was a bad idea. She did not need to be up all night when she was leaving tomorrow. But the fact was, she'd spent all day packing things up and trying to organize them in her bag- you move your ways, she'd move hers- and she needed a break from it before going back to it later.

So coffee it was. She got herself a cappuccino and found a seat where she could read the paper, feeling a little weird about the fact that she wouldn't be reading papers from 2011 anymore. She wondered if she could get the post office to deliver them by owl...

Caritas, Monday

Jake was nowhere to be seen tonight, still sleeping off the remnants of... whatever the hell last night had been. So anyone coming to Caritas tonight would find no one but a very put-out looking Tino behind the bar.
