Demon Marcus, Monday

[that_oldsaying]

Alluka studied the skirt. Her elephant studied it with her.

It was puffy and frilly and covered with hearts and lace. It was also a terribly unfortunate shade of brown.

"I suppose someone might like it," she said dubiously. Alluka liked most clothes, no matter if they suited her or not, but this skirt was… "But it's not very sweet or romantic, now is it? Not that all skirts have to be, but the lace and hearts suggest a theme that the colour just doesn't live up to."

It was terribly disappointing.

Her elephant nodded solemnly and pointed out another, better skirt. One that was a very pretty blue, with a white lace overlay on it.

"Yes," Alluka agreed happily. "That one is much nicer. Let's put that one out on display."

Luke's, Monday

[vdistinctive]

So Hannibal and Jono were going to attempt to get married again this week. Which meant that Eliot was using his kitchen staff to help with prep again.

"Haven't we made this stuff, like, several times before?" the dishwasher asked.

"Yup," said Eliot.

"Twice," the busboy clarified. "Well, three times if you count the practice run before attempt number one."

They continued working in silence for another few moments.

"Soooo," said the cook. "Next time you're just going to tell them to order pizza, right?"

Eliot sighed. "Yup."

"Dammit, who put the wedding food on the specials board?"

"It's the only stuff we've got prepared today."

Luke's was open.
