Turtle & Canary; Wednesday [02/17].

[sake_shinigami]

Since the store seemed to be relatively quiet (although still very noticably pink, with all the extra Valentine's Day merchandice sitting front and center and drastically discounted in an effort to get rid of it sooner rather than later) and he was still feeling rather inspired from the past weekend, Shunsui spent his time between naps and customers attempting to compose a few new poems for the turtle and the canary.

"You are hard outside," he tried thoughtfully,
but soft and tender within
Like a coconut."

Yeah, didn't quite have the same finesse to it, did it? Shunsui just hoped that Jaye-chan would be delighted if she were to know how much more effective she was as a muse than the store pets.

Caritas; Wednesday [02/17].

You know, Tino telling Summer about his days as a toothpicker in his youth was almost enough to not only make her wonder (in that disturbed do-I-really-want-to-know? kind of way) just how old Tino actually was, anyway, but also to make her completely reconsider this whole toothpicker thing in the first place.

But!

She'd already gone, like, all in on the toothpicker thing with her jello shots, which sort of made it a point of no return. Sure, that just meant that all of tonight's jello shots were, in fact, simply being served up with toothpicks, but still! It was a theme! And she was superproud of how the cocktail weenie ones were actually shaped like little cocktail weenies. Shut up, it was the little things in life, dammit!

Though she did wonder if she should feel bad that she was already thinking she might have to explain to Seivarden that, no, you didn't also eat the toothpick.

Sushi Station; Wednesday Evening [02/17].

[x_discospider_x]

So, this was something that was long overdue, but Troy and Alexis were officially finally going on an official date. Officially. And Alexis had chosen Sushi Station, which could be cool, even if Troy hadn't really had a lot of sushi before, and so long as he never really caught on to the fact that a lot of it was just raw fish and seaweed and rice, it should be just fine.

He was feeling kind of nervous about it, honestly, and he wasn't sure if that was just because he was kind of out of practice with dating or just because Alexis really was a legit top-tier hottie that girls back in Riverside couldn't even get close to reaching.

So then they got to their seat and Troy was looking over the options and realizing that he wasn't sure what most of this stuff was, so this was going to be an adventure, but that was fine, he had a good trick for this sort of thing, because it wasn't exactly a rare occasion when he encountered somethihng he was unfamiliar with but didn't want to make it known that he had no clue.

"So," he ventured, "what's your favorite here?"


[[ for the date, please! Or, well, you can totally use it for your own Sushi Station needs as well, if you want. I'm not your boss. ]]

"Right, so. The bags thing last week. Nasty stuff. But my boyfriend managed to find a solution -- or at least a fairly satisfying coping mechanism, which means I have some things to add to our go bag:"

"Who doesn't love a good bonfire? Anyone else find something that worked with that crap? I mean, there's also, you know, talking things out, but some people prefer to be able to do something on their own time, not be forced into it by a well-meaning . . . island. Um. Anyway. So. Discussion. How do you deal with your baggage? Metaphorically or literally?"

The Devil's Nest, Wednesday Evening

[okteiviakom]

Look who'd actually managed to drag herself to work this week! Sure, Octavia was spending a decent portion of her evening busying herself with inventory and letting Tiny handle the majority of the customers, but...

Baby steps.

Tonight's music was on the more melancholy side of piano bar-y. That suited Octavia just fine. There were times to be loud, and this wasn't it.
