Needful Things; Tuesday [04/03].

[somethingwithturquoise]

It would seem that knowing what was going on now really didn't do much in the way of helping with what was going on, but Summer felt good about today. She had work today. Boring old work, surrounded by dusty old antiques that weren't even cursed. No problemo. Absolutely nothing sexy there.

Although, she did start to wonder what old Mr. Needful might be up to these days...

...and then realized you really had it bad when you started fantasizing about your old boss who was literally the devil. She shook her head, tried to focus on her sweeping and dusting, but couldn't help wondering...had they always had so many classic style statues and figurines of naked ladies and dudes? Seemed everywhere she turned today, there it was, a perfectly sculpted marble ass, an hourglass figure with just the right amount of perceived softness...

...books! There's been a box of books dropped off, wasn't there? Dusty old boring, not-at-all sexy books! Summer was just going to go and get those on the shelves.

Of course, though, it had to be someone's weirdly extensive collection of vintage versions of the kama sutra, some texts on tantric Buddhism, guides in a language she couldn't even recognize but had very helpful illustrations that lead her to believe with confidence that the title was something like "The Art of Making Love Across the Galaxy"....

Who the hell even brought these in?

Needful Things is open!

The Perk, Tuesday Afternoon

[always_someone]

Norman had noticed the, uh, the mood going around, yes. Of course he had. He'd been trying like hell to keep to himself since he'd come to the realization that it was everywhere and almost everybody, and had even gone out of his way to just straight-up avoid the living. But he also happened to be the living, which meant he had to do things like eat and sleep and change his clothes, and he couldn't just camp out at the graveyard while the ghosts sympathized with how difficult it had been having a body on the island this time of year, or just outright encouraging him to go and have some fun.

He kind of wished his grandmother could pick up a phone so that he could complain to her about the island she'd sent him to. There was very little in the world that was more unsexy than a conversation with Grandma Babcock.

Oh god, it was even a part of his name.

Anyway, Norman was drinking tea as far from the window as he could possibly get, and he had a muffin, and the most dry reading material he could get his hands on. Sure, he didn't understand how the stock exchange worked, but it was something to stare at. Definitely a lot of numbers, there. Yup.

Good ol' numbers.

Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

Kitty knew she had it pretty easy during these weeks, so she wasn’t going to complain. Just a few hours of that antsy feeling at work, then she could go home and jump Clint and feel better till tomorrow. Easy. Then she saw the sign on the door.

TINO IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS
SPECIALS: SEX ON THE BEACH

“No,” Kitty said as she took it down. “We want people to come in.”

(That’s what she said.)

Another copy ended up on the door a few minutes later when she wasn’t looking. So if you wanted to drink and vent to another frustrated person, or wanted to risk your health on the beach, Caritas (and Tino) was Open.

Groovy Tunes, Tuesday

[tigerundercover]

"Sweat, baby, sweat, baby sex is a Texas drought. . . ."

"Stop it."

"You've had enough of two-hand touch,
You want it rough, you're out of bounds"

"Shut up."

"You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
(Do it again now)"

"Look, I'm a pansexual shapeshifter, okay? Don't you judge me!"

"You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
(Gettin' horny now)"

Raven wondered how much Quark would want to let her just move into a holosuite for the rest of the week.
