Groovy Tunes; Thursday [06/10].

[lilac_eyed_lieutenant]

Well, Tisarwat had finally made an executive decision to hire on a convenient npc employee the vinyl-obsessed annoying hipster to work at the store. It wasn't the most...inspiring staff, but if she was planning on going home every once in a while now, she'd feel better if it wasn't just Troy dealing with things. But, unfortunately, that meant having to deal with actually training her new employee today, which basically meant getting to listen to an awful lot of rambling rants about the current state of the music industry and how Tisarwat's conception of everything regarding Earth music was wrong and why it was wrong and....

...honestly, she stopped paying attention through most of it and just waited for an opportunity to step in with, "Right, so this is how you use the register..."

It was going to be a long day.

Groovy Tunes is open!

The Perk | Thursday Morning

[defenderofdesmoines]

Annie had spent most of yesterday asleep (though she had also kind of picked up on Diego's new obsession with American Ninja Warrior in between naps, and now they were both convinced they could do better than half the contestants), and while she was still moving kind of stiffly, she was worlds better than she had been on Monday.

It helped that her mood was a huge improvement over what it had been the last month or so, even if she was still sporting a bit of bruising along her jaw and throat (as well as under her clothes, but you probably weren't looking there, were you, random Perk-goer?) She was even humming to herself a bit as she got her coffee today and found a seat.

Three texts from Ashley awaited her, which immediately were swiped away in favor of pulling open Pinterest for a little home decorating inspiration. She was going to be moving in to an apartment that was like, twice the size of the last one she'd decorated. And Diego didn't even have, like, a doormat or matching towels.

[totally open!]

Fandom Counseling, Thursday

[sharp_man]

The flamingos this week seemed less needy, which was all to the good. Except they seemed to have designated one of them as the one to solve everything, so one flamingo spent the morning watching Hannibal with an intense, beady-eyed expression, and then spent the afternoon with the rest of the small, glittery flock gathered around him for...group therapy sessions?

Hannibal wasn't going to ask.

His own office was open! Or you could probably sit in on a glittery-flamingo session, if that was more your thing.

The Devil's Nest [Thursday, June 10, 2021]

[texted3times]

Eric hated how late the sun was setting these days--it really put a crimp in his after-dark activities if he didn't want to also bleed from the ears--so he wasn't at the bar until well after Tiny had opened. He gave the guy a baleful look when he was offered a new mango daiquiri that Tiny had been messing around with.

"Do I strike you as someone who spends a ton of time on the beach, laying out and catching fire? That's the others."

Tiny handed him a SoCo and TruBlood instead.

"Better."

The Devil's Nest was open. And not beachy.

Covent Garden Flowers, Thursday, June 10, 2021

[craic_killer]

"What," Clare said, staring at an orchid with a tiny, orchid-sized guitar.

Music from somewhere--it couldn't be the plant because that was insane and plants didn't have hands--started playing.

Clare blinked. Hard. "You know Danny Boy?"

Covent Gardens was open and so, so confused.

Luke's, Thursday

[betterthanaplan]

Duke held up the lobster at eye level, looking it over curiously. The lobster slowly waved its bound claws, its antennae twitching, studying him back.

"So," Greg said, after this went on for several moments. "Are you going to cook it, or what?"

"I don't know," Duke said honestly. "How could can Maryland lobster even be?"

"Just drown it in garlic butter," Ali said, rolling his eyes. "Lobster is lobster is giant sea insect."

"Says the man from a landlocked region not known for its lobster," Duke said. He looked at the lobster again. "Sorry bud, but the man does actually have a point." He was about to put the thing into the pot when he heard a sniff from behind him. He looked over to find Timmy looking at him with giant, puppy dog eyes.
