Caritas; Wednesday [02/12].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Honestly, Summer had bigger things to worry about and had had much weirder things going on with her body before, and she sort of accepted her fate of being pretty much eternally sexually frustrated as a basic-ass troll on this island of crazy beautiful people, so her only big concern for that evening was Tino. Who was, by her estimation, pretty much an actual troll and the idea of having to work with him today was pretty much, like, nightmare fuel.

So she got right to it, armed and equipped with a clipboard as she came breezing in for her shift that night. "Hey, Tino?" she started, and was not at all reluctant to use the fact that she was wearing a crop top and cut off shorts to help be more convincing. "Listen, I just got a text from Kitty," she did not receive any text for Kitty, "that says we need to do some emergency inventory in the back roo..."

She trailed off when she saw his face, and she saw a big flaw in this plan. "No. No! That was not a come on! We both can't be in the back room, and before you even suggest it, no, one of the zombies cannot watch the bar in the meantime..."

She trailed off again, realizing that wasn't such a bad idea--

--NO. NO! It was a bad idea, it was a horrible idea, god, Summer, your standards were sometimes super questionable, but come on!

"You," she said, shoving the clipboard into Tino's chest and then shoving him toward the backroom, "inventory. Now." And then closed the door after him, considered whether or not it locked from the outside, but, just to be safe, she was just going to go ahead and do some arranging to effectly block the door.

"There. Better."

Turtle & Canary; Wednesday [02/12].

[sake_shinigami]

A week like this was having an unexpected effect on Shunsui, in that it was actually making him want to get back to training, which made a bit more sense if one understood exactly what (or rather who) his training involved. And if he were still back home in the Soul Society, he could easily slip into Jinzen for days, perhaps even the entire week, without even thinking about it, but here on Earth, where he had a much more fragile gigai to maintain (a gigai, one might argue, that was entirely to blame for any of this even having an effect on him at all), it was a bit more difficult, and the nearly two days he'd spent in meditation and training had taken enough of a toll that perhaps he'd better take a break.

And then he realized it was Wednesday (it honestly hadn't felt like he'd been gone that long) and that maybe he should probably head into the store, after taking some time to tend to and bandage up some of the wounds he'd sustained in the meantime, each and every one of them worth it, and all but that one mean little cut right underneath his right eye (Katen almost always aimed for that spot, and she almost always managed to get it, too) could be conveniently concealed by his robes, and he supposed it was back to work, back to the mortal world.

Well, back to work was putting it lightly. He'd leave that to Apu, who seemed glad for the distraction, anyway, and he figured he'd spend most of his time just catching up on the sleep that his gigai needed, but, honestly, once he got settled, he found himself inspired in a different way.

And he actually started working on his book.

None of it formed much of a plot at the moment, but some of these scenes were turning out so dirty good, who even needed plot?

Pixe Dust, Wednesday

[that_oldsaying]

"I don't like this week," Alluka grumbled to her bunny as she set both her bunny and Mr. Bubbles up with tea and cookies. "But at least it's half over!"

Which was a bit optimistic but Alluka tended to be.

She was dressed up super cute today but, really, if she wasn't dressed up super cute then something was probably wrong. Or she was training.

And, truly, as she looked around her shop, deciding where to start, it was hard to stay too grumpy with the weird, uncomfortable feelings she had because there was so much more to be happy about!

"Do you think we should have a sale?" she wondered, as it suddenly occurred to her.

Clothes Over Bros- Wednesday

[gobrookeyourself]

There was plenty to do this week, but it was possible that one of those things might also be some work? Crazy.

So Brooke came in for a while, at least, making sure the mannequins were showing off the store's lingerie selection was well represented in the window, while the nicer stuff was available right when you walked in the door. Maybe she kept rearranging some things, too, just for something to do with her hands.

For reasons.

The Devil's Nest, Wednesday Afternoon

[my_own_advocate]

It wasn't that the pollen didn't work on Lucifer. But like most drugs, it needed time to work its way through the innate defenses of a celestial's physical form, and so it was Wednesday by the time the itch began - an ache, really. And perhaps that was it, the leading reason for why he'd woken up feeling this way; as if the ache had been a small hole carved into his wall of distraction, and the sheer volume of what was tucked away behind it had ripped away at the bricks around it and come pouring out.

Perhaps it was just the achingly, ephemerally beautiful way he'd watched two young lovers crash together last night in the way they could only when everything was new and there was nothing but promise before them.

( They weren't open, not officially, but Lucifer had been careless with the locks and didn't particularly care. )

Ella Lopez: ok but for rlz when r u coming back we MISS u lucifer

He was going to ignore it. And the picture she'd sent 35 minutes ago. The one with her, and the side of Dan's face, and the big, mildly startled eyes of--

"I took my love down to violet hill; there we sat in snow. All that time, she was silent still," he sang, bringing the song down to its quiet outro. "So if you love me, won't you let me know...?"

And from the outro, he'd slide right back into the intro, and start all over again.
