Furnado Animal Shelter, Tuesday

[puppy_fair]

Okay, no more holidays. Good. Puppies and kittens were still kind of trickling in. Less good. Zack frowned a little as he looked at the playpen he'd set up in the lobby for the puppies, full of little wigglebottoms that wanted nothing more than to be played with.

...

And then, to hell with it, he stepped into the playpen himself and took a seat.

There were worse ways to spend a Tuesday than being seated on the floor, being tackled from all directions by dogs.

There was a Now Hiring sign in the window, displayed as prominently as Zack could get it, with the kittens strategically placed nearby so that anybody walking past would have to notice one in order to ogle the other. He was a sneaky boy, that Zack Fair.

Covent Garden Flowers, Tuesday

[shiroi_tiger]

Okay. No more Christmas. No more New Years. Thanksgiving was long behind them. People were finished with flowers for the time being, right?

There was no cause to panic for at least a few weeks, now?

Nathan looked suspiciously around the flower shop. And then sighed and sank into a seat. There was general tidying and watering to be done, and he'd get around to that in a minute. But for just a little while, he wanted to savor what it felt like to be at work, not being run ragged with crazy orders.

He had to take it where he could get it. February was coming.

Needful Things; Tuesday [01/02].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer was kind of digging getting to come into work a little bit later to make room for a Tuesday class, so her mood was pretty good when she got there, ready to do her usual dusting and cleaning and helping the occasional oddball that actually went shopping here. It seemed someone had dropped off a bunch of old brass oil lamps, too, most of them in pretty bad condition, so she made a project out of buffing them up and getting them all shiny again.

She might have gotten a little excited when she started vigorously rubbing the side of one of them and a great big puff of smoke blasted out of the spout. "Holy shit!" she gasped, and started to cough because that was a lot of smoke, and she waved her hand to clear it eagerly, expecting that she'd actually found a genie in one of these things.

But the smoke cleared and there was nothing there. Summer tilted the lamp, hitting it like it was a ketchup bottle as if that would dislodge the genie, then peered inside to see nothing and grunted in distaste.

No genie here, just a dusty ass dirty lamp. Lame.

Needful Things is open!

Fantasy Costco | Tuesday

[taakosgoodhere]

Taako had lost himself in that post-Candlenights pre-New Year's time suck where he wasn't quite sure what day it was and it didn't really matter with all the marathons happening on TV. Yes, he had installed cable in the back room and you can get a lot of TV watching in when you didn't need to sleep due to being an elf.

He could tell you so much about Lt. Joe Kenda now.

Luke's, Tuesday

[battlewithstyle]

Mitsutada had a bit of a spring in his step today, and set about his work with a bit of extra vim and vigor.

The kitchen staff were generally terrified by this and left him alone. A happy sword was a very strange thing.

Book Haven, Tuesday

[studyingfear]

One of these days Tseng was going to catch on to the fact that Rufus wasn't on the island all the times he said he was.

But, if he'd noticed already, he hadn't said anything.

Which was half the battle.

In the spirit of a fickle whim, Rufus wandered into his shop today to actually work. Dark Nation, of course, went barrelling after the dust bunnies.

Rufus didn't actually want to know how many there were these days.

Book Haven is Open!
