Wonka's Sweets Shoppe | Tuesday

[shapethecentury]

The rest of the Halloween candy had arrived. Oh boy, had it ever. The entire shop was decked in orange and black and practically bursting at the seams in a way that made Bucky feel half surprised candy wasn't just going spilling out into the street with customers coming in or going out through the door.

At least when he managed to focus more on the matters at hand than what was keeping his brain occupied, anyway. Everything was changing, and he kept on thinking about home even when he was here. kept on thinking about what the future held – for him, personally. The things he knew about, and the things he didn't.

The radio seemed to be stuck on a channel that had decided to dedicate Tuesdays to swing music. It felt fitting.

(open!)

Book Haven, Tuesday

[studyingfear]

Rufus had… received a voicemail.

He was rather bemused by it, honestly, since as far as calls he usually received that was the politest invitation he'd ever had to go talk to someone.

As he went through this week's orders, he leaned over to peer down at Dark Nation and, yes, his dog's dust bunny friends. "What do you think?" he inquired. "Should I be polite and visit?"

Dark Nation yawned.

That was what he got for asking his dog's opinion Rufus supposed.

Book Haven is Open.

Covent Garden Flowers, Tuesday

[shiroi_tiger]

Today, the flower shop got in another shipment of tiny gourds. Tiny gourds and dried, decorative corn.

Which meant that today, Nathan was going to sit down and write a letter to Peter, explaining that they were generally used as is in decorating the home for autumn holidays, and while carving the more robust gourds into flower pots of all things was a cute idea, maybe leave the miniature squash and pumpkins as-is, because people were usually quite happy to buy them that way.

God only knew they didn't have any practical function at that size, and they'd just rot if steps weren't taken to preserve them properly when cut.

Then he spent the rest of his shift making more autumn arrangements. If a few of the little pumpkins and squashes found their way into those, well, it was the season, after all.

Needful Things; Tuesday [10/24].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Although Summer found herself playing out both sides of an argument about whether or not they were really antiques in her head, someone had apparently dropped off a box of amber, and it at least gave her a little something else to do other than dusting and sweeping today. As she was going through them, she thought some of them were pretty cool, some of them were beautiful but disturbing, and others were just downright gross. Really? Lizards? Ugh!

But, really, when you got down to it, someone had collected all of these that were basically just dead bodies preserved in rocks (okay, sap or whatever), and that was really, really gross if you thought too much about it. So Summer decided to just set the box aside and go back to sweeping because ew. Kind of fascinating. Kind of cool. But ultimately just ew.

Needful Things is open!

Furnado, Tuesday

[puppy_fair]

Zack was quiet today at work, flinging himself right into his duties around the shelter without so much as a word to the rest of the staff. They were used to this sort of thing from him by now, and knew to give him his space and just let him do his thing.

He did have Girl out and running around the place with him, though. He was trying not to think of her as his dog, but... well.

She was pretty much his dog. She just happened to live here, and not over at the old Boards. Groovy Tunes. Whatever it was. The apartment upstairs from it. She wasn't up for adoption anymore, either way. Zack couldn't bear to part with her for long.

There was a new shipment of squeaky toys in, at least, so the silence was broken around noon by a good, long game of 'quality test everything that squeaks and get Girl to help.' Not a bad way to break the quiet, if you asked Zack.

Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

Kitty hasn't been around a ton over the weekend, but it had been enough that she was still doing various lesson plans at the bar tonight.

With the door open. Because when it was this late in October and the weather was nice, you should take advantage.

[open, no OCD!]
