Trooper Station | Saturday

[knife_bender]

Diego had not known chill a day in his life until he woke up this morning. Later he might find it unsettling but right now he didn't really care. Didn't really care about anything, really. He strolled into work a half hour late, ignored the paperwork on his desk and started messing around on his phone. He'd get around to the working stuff later. At some point. Maybe.

The Perk | Saturday Morning

[flourish_or_perish]

Faye felt pretty good today. Normally she had a baseline level of irritability and existential dread that colored all her interactions, but today, things were...fine. Totally fine. She wasn't worried about anything, she'd slept great -- honestly, could probably use some more sleep -- and even took the long way to the Perk to enjoy the walk.

She didn't even mind when some random person knocked into her and dumped half an iced coffee onto her boots. "Hey, things happen," she assured the guy with an easy smile.

She tucked herself into a corner with a mint tea -- no chocolate monstrosities today! -- and stretched her legs out so they could dry off a bit as she plucked up a magazine to read.

It wasn't even a magazine with 'a million ways to please your man' advertised on the front, or anything. It was a National Geographic. And she was actually patiently reading it.

[totally open, yes]

Caritas- Saturday

[fates_jaye]

You know what was not good for Jaye's nerves today? Working with Tino.

"Stop looking at me," she told him, and he did, and she went about her supposed work.

At least until she was sure she caught him looking at her again, at which point her "I said stop looking at me, you doofus," was met with total calm, which only meant that Jaye was now sure he had been looking at her.

So Jaye banished him to the stock room. Or he escaped to it. Either one.

Luke's Diner, Saturday

[what_the_shock]

Miguel came in today and didn't immediately head for the coffee pot. If he got any looks for that, he wasn't worried. He wasn't worried about much of anything; he was feeling pretty chill today.

He smiled and nodded at the staff and went to make the specials board.

Chicken empanadas
Chili
Chocolate mousse

The Park, Saturday afternoon

[stykera]

Stark was anxious today and had been the entire time he was awake. This wasn't completely unusual but usually there was more of a reason. Today he was just very unsettled and nothing was helping. Pacing around the apartment hadn't helped. The tea he had brewed hadn't either. He couldn't seem to sit still. He'd considered sitting on the balcony but the raccoons might show up and he didn't want to see the raccoons or have them sit and stare at him. They were up to something, he was sure of it, even if the worst thing they had done recently was leave bottles behind. Surely something worse was coming.

Indoors felt oppressive and eventually he decided that being outdoors might feel better. It did, a little, but he still had a feeling of being watched (though that might have been the ever present squirrels and why did they feel the need to watch everything everyone was doing, anyway?).

Normally he'd sit on a bench, often by the pond to watch the ducks or flamingos, but he still couldn't sit still and so today he was just walking, sometimes looking over his shoulder nervously, sometimes jumping at noises.

[Open for Park or Stark needs, of course]

Tahani's Relaxing Secret Spa Retreat, Rocky Bits

[sexy_giraffe]

When one woke up feeling incredibly Zen, one should monetize the hell out of that share that experience with the world! So here was Tahani, is this remote...ish...locale on the top of some unforgiving...kind of terrain.

It was basically Tibet, honestly, which was why Tahani was on her yoga mat under a billow, whispy, generally useless tent structure, explaining Buddhism to the Dalai Lama.

Devil's Nest, Saturday Night

[allie_vamp]

There was a bar, and a vampire practicing her ax-throwing skills. But she'd happily make you a drink if you wanted one.
