The Perk, Wednesday Morning

[not_a_whiner]

Been a couple of days now, and things had been going pretty smoothly. Housing would probably be taken care of soon, and the Admirals seemed to be happy with the data he was sending back so far. The only thing that was left to Kaidan right now was finishing the planning for his lessons.

He'd chosen to wait until he'd gotten to the island before laying out more than the basics. Considering, he was happy he'd done it.

There were a couple of advantages to the island. For one, it wasn't covered in lights and screaming billboards - something Kaidan's head appreciated - and the coffee was pretty great. The Perk was... quaint, really-- and it did occur to him he never would've thought that a year ago, when his universe had suddenly, forcibly been made ten times as large as it had been-- but it was nice.

And quiet.

Kaidan took a sip of his coffee and flashed a small, awkward smile at the attractive barrista, who had turned her attention to drying off more cups. She smiled back. Probably because he was the only one in the room.

Caritas- Wednesday

[fates_jaye]

If not for radio and her bar shift, Jaye would have had to spend the fourth of July back in Niagara Falls at a family barbecue, watching Sharon interpret the outdoor environment as her personal right to chain smoke when their parents weren't paying attention, watching her mom drop casual mentions of her upcoming book into conversation with the guests, and wishing her dad would just put on pants instead of wearing shorts and then finally placing bets with Aaron on whether or not this would be the year that the neighbors finally set something on fire with the display they were insistent that Canada should see.

So, god bless America or whatever, because Jaye was at the bar, happy to be here and have an excuse to drink.

Independence Day was not a holiday that Lion-o was familiar with, but he was happy to celebrate his return to the island. Besides, he loved the idea of a holiday associated with grilling hamburgers.
