Pick Your Poison - Saturday

[mages_suck]

Fenris felt bad about not making it to work the week prior. In his defense, his roommate had been a snake and Fenris didn't feel a store full of scented goods - no matter how good they smelled to human senses - was an appropriate place for a snake who would taste them.

He was a little surprised at how clean it was. Someone had clearly been in and done some work.

He'd had the upcoming holiday explained to him and, while he didn't fully understand it, he was feeling festive.

Possibly puckish.

In either case, he had taken a black charcoal-infused bar of soap and an orange bar of soap and sliced them width-wise into many little sample size slices. He tied one of each color sample together with black and orange ribbon and arranged them neatly in a basket on the counter.

His writing wasn't good enough to produce a sign but he felt he'd do an adequate job explaining the tiny bundles were alternate hand-outs for the candy beggars who couldn't actually have candy.

Somewhere in the store, one of the items smelled strongly enough of frosted cake that it was perfuming the air even up to the counter. He did a walk about trying to find it, but couldn't pinpoint any one cake-scented item.

Sitting back, he began flipping through the catalog again, working on his reading and recognition.

[Open but SP! Birthday party to attend.]

Luke's Diner, Saturday

[what_the_shock]

Miguel was in a pretty good mood today.

Until he walked in and everything was pumpkin spice.

"No."

The busboy looked like he wanted to speak. Miguel held up a hand. "Just no. Pumpkin spice doesn't belong in burgers, and if you mess with my coffee, I won't be responsible for my actions. Put the spices where they belong."

"But it's tradition!" the cook protested.

"You want those spices, I'll show you how to use them properly. If you want them in coffee, go to the Perk."

Miguel put his foot down, scowled, and went to cook. Coffee first.

Covent Garden Flowers, Saturday

[1000yearstoolate]

What civilized person would celebrate a holiday where you carved vegetables into creepy faces? Seivarden sighed, sipping her tea as she tried not to look at the grinning mouths, which was a bit difficult, since they were everywhere, and the eyes seemed to follow her when she moved.

And then there was all the spiderweb. At least cleaning it up was a practical task that offered some distraction.

[Open!]

The Onsen, Saturday

[unusual_sith]

After speaking with Sidon, Lana had elected for a walk, but that had left her a bit chilled, so when she'd remembered there was this place, she'd decided to try it.

She was now quite happily soaking in hot water and enjoying the humidity of the main room. Definitely a good way of spending the day.

The C.I.C., Saturday Afternoon - Evening

[bookbeltof_love]

"I mean, like, it's not that I have no ideas," Nina complained to the Raven as she reviewed her notes on the inner workings of a computer. "But a second opinion would be nice?????????"

The Raven only cared about the shiny bit of metal she'd offered it, but that was okay, Nina had just really needed something to complain at and she wasn't good enough at any of the electronics in the store to feel comfortable complaining at them. Yet. And she hadn't really wanted to whine at Vette about this.

At least, not yet.

She'd probably get around to it.

The C.I.C. is Open!!!!!!!!!!!

[And OCD free!]

Caritas, Saturday Evening

[newroutines]

Mike was a little distracted during his shift. Because of the very important task of looking up new ideas for Halloween themed jello shots.

Look, if he was going to throw another party - even after several years - he couldn't not serve the damn things. It would've probably been sacrilege at this point. Plus, they were fun to make.

Tino didn't seem all that interested in any of the one's Mike showed him on his phone, but that guy was never interested in anything, anyway.

[ooc: I seem to be operating on half a brain, but I'm here and this post is open!]
