Furnado Animal Shelter, Tuesday

[puppy_fair]

Zack was having a great day today at work! It had something to do with how he had 'accidentally' forgotten to lock every single one of the dog cages behind him, and how he was then spending the rest of his day play-wrestling with every single dog in the building.

Really, such a hardship.

The worst part was going to be putting them all back when the day was through. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't considering just spending the night here in a pile of snoozing dogs.

Covent Garden Flowers, Tuesday

[shiroi_tiger]

Nathan was less surprised and more resigned today to come into work to find a large shipment of evergreen boughs, poinsettias, and holly sprigs coming in that morning. There seemed to be an endless stream of random holidays around this time of year, but he was already well aware of Christmas, even if the way people celebrated the holiday had changed significantly since his own time.

He set it all to the side and went about the shop, watering and fertilizing and otherwise grooming the plants, and only when he was done that did he deign to go back to tackle all of... that.

He tried a hand at a wreath, first, and was pleased to find that the end result wasn't a total disaster. And then, on a whim, he attempted some sort of festive twist on his usual ikebana arrangements. If he used the smaller poinsettia plants, and then some of the boughs and holly, he could even make one that would last well beyond the month with regular watering.

He wasn't going to admit that he was having a lot of fun experimenting with this, but here he was. Having a lot of fun. Experimenting with this.

The Park, Tuesday Afternoon

[era_two_triangle]

Peridot had a dog!

Well. She had a sort-of-almost dog. Pumpkin acted like a dog. She ran around and barked and rolled in the dirt like a dog. And since Peridot couldn't find any books about training pumpkins, she had a book about how to train a dog, instead.

Which meant that today was 'teaching Pumpkin how to sit' day in the park. Or, at least, that was the intent.

In actuality, it was more, 'trying to get Pumpkin to stop chasing the ducks' day in the park. And Peridot's efforts at that weren't going as well as one might hope.

"No! Come back! What if they eat pumpkins! Pumpkin!!"

It was a work in progress.

Fantasy Costco | Tuesday

[taakosgoodhere]

Taako didn't know what Christmas was but he did know Candlenights season was upon them. Which meant covering every single inch of the store in twinkle lights. All of the lights. All. Of. Them.

The electricity bill was going to be ridiculous this month.

Welcome to Fantasy Costco
Item of the Day
Elf on a Shelf
We got a whole box of these and they freak me out please take them


[OCD free]

Groovy Tunes, Tuesday

[tigerundercover]

The stereo was apparently still pretty excited by Raven's conversation with Hardison last week, playing lots of weird ladies with stringed, bowed instruments during her shift this week.

"So what you're saying," Raven teased it, "is that I should learn to play some sort of horn?"

Huh. It turned out the stereo could blow raspberries. Who knew?

[open!]

Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

The thing about taking a side while your friend's were fighting was that you became someone people on the other side could complain to, especially when you were only there for part of the week and this had plausible deniability. So Kitty was fielding a lot of texts today, mostly complaining about other people complaining.

She'd be more than happy to pause from this if anybody needed a drink.

[Open, no OCD!]

Needful Things; Tuesday [11/28].

[somethingwithturquoise]

After having a...mild debate with a customer about how it was just a little bit ridiculous to bring in a box of old coins and expect to be exchanged with new coins (and bills), Summer was left shifting through the ancient looking dinero and musing a little about where they came from and how they were probably worth absolutely nothing because most people from wherever they were were probably all from dead civilizations anyway.

Well, some of them might have been mildly interesting, but they were mostly just...coins. Old pennies and shit.

"Man," she murmured, "this job was so much cooler when everything was cursed."

Sorry 'bout it, Ghanima. Sometimes a girl just had to get nostalgic about her old Satanic boss.

Needful Things is open!

[[oh, hey, it's Tuesday!]]

The Perk, Tuesday Late Afternoon

[intraspective]

Hot apple cider? Check. Peppermint brownie? Check. A seat at the window? Also check.

Ino's PHS went off, signaling a text from her boss.

Iris. I won't text you again. I'm no longer asking you to contact me, I'm actually begging. You've reduced me to begging, Iris. The Renos have joined forces. They've toilet papered the common area on the Turk floor.

Ino nearly choked laughing on her drink. Which would be a real waste of a drink. Tseng probably would be offended (definitely would be offended) at her laughter but he was dealing with that, while she wasn't.

She was way smarter than he was.

Her PHS went off again.

I'm texting again. Do you know how to escape Pyramid from the inside? They didn't take well to me attempting to put an end to the party. Rod took their side. I think the Rudes are laughing. I can't tell.

Ino cracked up all over again.

Rather than text her boss, like a nice person, she texted the Renos. (They had the same PHS number, after all, one of them would get it.)

I demand pictures!

Ino was a terrible person.

[OOC: Open! puppy_fair wrote Tseng's texts 'cause she's a superstar!]
