Trooper Station; Monday [01/14].

[died8yearsago]

So, apparently, Rosa's neighbor had gotten a cat, which meant that, thanks to the odd nature of the sometimes obnoxiously too-thin wall between their apartments, Arlo 2 knew there was a new friend on the other side of it and Arlo 2 had spent all night trying to get to that new friend, which meant that Rosa hadn't exactly slept well and she was clinging to the coffee pot that day. Thank god it was actually coffee, too, although, really, it could only be classified as such on a technicality. It did the trick, though, and it also helped that Arlo 2 was with her in the station that day as well. She was worried if she'd left her by herself, she'd come home to a straight up hole in the wall between her and Baby Linetti's apartments, and she did not want to deal with that crap when she got home.

It also helped a little that, upon entering the station and getting her first sight of Ralph, Arlo 2 let out a little bark, the cutest damn growl in the world, and made a lunge straight for his feet, not to lick his boots, but to gnaw on them.

Awww. She actually was learning! This was going to be great once she was big enough to maybe go for the face instead.

Turtle & Canary; Monday [01/14].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer was finding it a little difficult to focus on her work today, what with a new cat at home and a trip out to space tomorrow taking up all of her brain cells. She wasn't really worried about either of them, of course; they were just...distracting. It was hard to focus on stock orders and sales projections when there were way more engaging things going on in your life.

But it was her job, and she was doing it, and she wasn't even going to ask what Apu was doing by having a donkey in the store today.

She'll admit, she was curious, especially as to where he'd even gotten a donkey, but, at the same time...she also felt like she really, really didn't want to know.

Peter waved at everybody as they came in. "There's popcorn and drinks as usual, so help yourself. When I brought the movie from last week back, I was told that if we'd watched that, we really had to see another one by the same group. It's famous and often quoted by people. And it's got swords in it." Hopefully that was a good thing.

"I'm warning you now, it's a little bit silly."

Just a little.

He hit play.

The Perk- Monday afternoon

[seriesofbaddecisions]

Mondays were Sabine's new free day, and once again she didn't know what to do with herself. She'd gone to the Perk to get some coffee before heading to her warehouse, but that plan had changed once she heard the baristas arguing about the temperature of the milk in a way that made her think there was some other issue they were trying to resolve. And then they were too wrapped up in their fight to get her her drink for a while, and once she got it she was really trying to figure out what this was about.

So now she had a seat, and hadn't brought anything to do, so she probably looked thoughtful when in reality she was listening between the lines.

Monday: Covent Garden Flowers

[mylandmyrules]

Nell was working hard at her side project between customers and doing what she needed to at the shop. She'd finally managed to get some of the ingredients she needed to make some lotions to give to the people who had been so kind to her, so she was making up little gift packets of special tea and body or face lotions.

Fandom Post Office, January 15 (Tuesday)

[filleauloup]

Éponine, it might be pointed out, had most decidedly not been wearing a jaunty little straw hat when she left home to come to work this morning. She'd had a perfectly sensible warm knit cap on, only to find it replaced all of a sudden when she stepped through the post office door.


This was all very well and good so long as she stayed indoors, but she'd have to go out later to make deliveries, of course, and then it simply wouldn't do, would it, now? Luckily there appeared to be an entire pile of hats that had just materialized from nowhere in the storage room, as she found out when she went to restock the supply of padded envelopes.

Though as if to add insult to injury, it turned out that today's deliveries included several dozen of what appeared to be wrapped hat boxes.

"Ah," she said to the island at large, peering dubiously up toward the ceiling, "I suppose you're having a bit of a laugh today, are you? All right, then."

Really, there was a point at which all you could do was just take the island's whims in stride.
