Covent Garden Flowers, Tuesday

[shiroi_tiger]

Everything was in pink. Everything. Nathan was pretty certain that most of these plants didn't actually have a pink variant, but when he'd stepped into the flower shop today, even the bluebells were a very fetching shade of bubblegum.

"Missed me, did you?"

This was what he got for taking a week off. Plants getting up to shenanigans when he returned, just to remind him what they did to upstart flower shop employees who dared take time away from them. Or... something. Nathan didn't actually pretend he understood the thought processes of flowers.

He shrugged, and then got to work making some very, very pink arrangements. Shame this hadn't waited another few weeks. It would have been perfect for Valentine's.

Furnado Animal Shelter, Tuesday

[puppy_fair]

By some miracle, Zack made it back to the island in time for his shift. Just barely in time for his shift. He'd wanted nothing more than to slink back home, maybe change out of his old uniform and sleep on the couch for a good few hours first, but portals being what they were...

Well, at least he could nap at his desk after chores and between customers, right? And with Girl sleeping at his feet, he'd even have an excuse.

Except... except Girl wasn't there when he made his way in to work. Not in any of her usual places, not in any of the pens. He'd even gone up to the roof to see if somehow she'd gotten into the chickens before coming back down and tackling the vet on staff to ask where she'd gone.

"Adopted?!"

Aaaand now the rest of his day was going to mostly be spent just going through the motions.

Maybe kind of mourning.

Dammit.

Fantasy Costco | Tuesday

[taakosgoodhere]

There were boxes upon boxes around the store today. Actually they had been there for a week or so now. Taako was too lazy to open up new shipments at this point. He'd just be up front reading gossip rags.

Needful Things; Tuesday [01/16].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Was it coincidence or fate or something more nefarious at play when Summer came into the shop for her shift to find a box filled with old roller skates needing to be put away just after talking with Ringo about her AirTreks just yesterday? She wasn't going to try to read into it too much; she was just going to be a little baffled that they all seemed to come with keys, and be really disappointed to find out that all the key did was adjust the side of the skate, not reveal some secret cool technology or like jet blasters or something.

The lack of cool features to these old skates didn't prevent her from putting on a pair and doing all her sweeping and dusting on wheels today. It started out a little rough, but she got used to them pretty quickly and hoped they didn't scuff up the floors or anything.

Needful Things is open!

Groovy Tunes, Tuesday

[tigerundercover]

The stereo was sticking to a single band today, apparently. Raven wasn't familiar with it, but what else was new? She did kind of dig it. The singer was alternately angry and heartbroken, and Raven enjoyed the sort of dirty guitar sound that the internet told her was particularly popular in the 1990s.

Misfit had been into stuff from the 80s and 90s. It had now been over a year since she last saw Misfit, and she didn't think the ache of that had faded much. She wondered if Misfit was out there somewhere, singing one of these songs as they went about their day.

They were probably dead.

Son of a bitch.

"I don't suppose you could switch to something cheerful?" she asked the stereo.

It didn't.

Luke's, Tuesday

[battlewithstyle]

Mitsutada was laughing and smiling his way around the kitchen today, just feeling generally excited and happy about the day to come. He was almost tempted to break into song about his cooking, but that seemed a little excessive even for him.

At least, today it seemed excessive. Next week he might feel it proper and normal.

Luke's was open, and the staff was cheery.
