The Perk, Saturday Afternoon

[always_someone]

Now that Norman was working, he actually had a little bit of money to throw around again, and his first stop was going to be at the sporting goods store to get something he'd been missing since he'd arrived on the island. Sure, the streets were no good for biking on, but that didn't mean there weren't places he could ride around at. Like... the park! The park had paths, and if those were busy he could always just pedal his heart out across the grass instead, right?

And if that failed, he could just ride back and forth across the causeway. He had options, just not many of them.

Unfortunately, it was a rainy day, and colder than he'd expected, and Norman had found himself ducking into the Perk before ever making it to his intended destination, buying himself the biggest hot chocolate they could make for him, and sitting himself down by the window, hoping to either warm up or wait out the rain.

"Maybe my first big purchase should be an umbrella," he murmured, and clung to his drink as a nearby ghost made an oh-so-clever crack about catching his death of cold before getting back to waiting for the latte she'd been waiting on for at least twenty years.

He laughed politely, shivered again, and returned his attention to his hot chocolate.

Covent Garden Flowers, Saturday

[1000yearstoolate]

That holiday was over, which was nice, but Seivarden had had a bad week, and her flower arrangements just wouldn't turn out the way she wanted. Muttering  colourful Radchaai curses under her breath, she repeatedly had to attempt every order she tried to get done.

"Yes?" Why did customers have to call today.

"No, you can't get it today. Next week." Peter could sort it out.

"What do you mean, better service? I'd let you know that service depends on actually order things on time and not the same day as your aunt's 70th birthday.... What? Aatr's tits, who are you?"

At least she'd make an effort to be polite. If the person complained, she'd explain this to Peter.

Luke's Diner, Saturday

[what_the_shock]

When Miguel showed up today, the entire staff seemed half-asleep. While that meant they weren't getting up to much, it also meant they were out-drinking him in the coffee department and not up to making much special today. When he asked, the cook muttered something about being up way too early to watch the fascinators.

Miguel just shook his head, wrote out some simple specials, and got on with his own coffee-drinking.

Today's Specials
Peanut butter bacon cheeseburger
Jalapeño and queso blanco burger
Marinara and mozzarella burger

Luke's was open!
