Turtle & Canary; Wednesday [08/18].

"So, let me get this straight," said Amaya, frowning again at the current wreakage that was the Squishy machine before her and thinking she should have brought a bit more than the usual wrench for this sort of job. "Somehow, by mehtods completely unknown to yourself, the gruyere and the ricotta got into the Squishy machine and caused such an uproar that the panda, incensed with rage, took to trashing it within an inch of its mechanical life out of pure spite and anger?"

Shunsui answered with a grave nod, a gesture that was a bit spoiled by the faint pride in the grin still lingering in the corner of his mouth. "That's right ♥," he confirmed, and the grin grew a little more. "Such a terrible, shocking emergency, isn't it ♥. That a true centerpiece of the store should be put out of commission so thoroughly. As the owner of this store, don't you think it's imperritive, Movie Class-chan, that I stay here to see this state of emergency through and absolutely must put aside pursuing other demands that may be awaiting me for the time being ♥?"

Amaya just leveled a very unimpressed look at Shunsui; Shunsui met her looked with another brightening of his smile.

She shook her head, turning her attention back to the task at hand. "I swear," she murmured, "if you put even half as much work into actual work as you put into trying to avoid working, you'd be the most industrious man I know."


Shunsui put a wounded hand to his chest. "Movie Class-chan!" he chided. "Don't say such things! The idea alone will give me nightmares for weeks ♥!"

But, with that, he settled in happily at the counter with a fresh cup of sake for the very important task that he absolutely needed to be here for of overseeing the repairs to the poor, unfortunate Squishy bot.

And, well, to be fair, the panda was still feeling pretty sore about the whole thing, so it probably was a good idea that he was here to help keep the cheese-loving beast in check.

Covent Garden Flowers; Wednesday [08/18].

[white_oleander]

The 10% off to anyone who brings me a coffee sign was back out on the door again. Astrid sort of figured it was a long shot, that lightning wouldn't exactly strike twice, but, in the event that it did, she needed it even more this week than last week. Not because the flowers were still on their lullaby kick...they weren't, they'd moved onto something that sounded a bit more like experimental jazz...but she hadn't been sleeping well since Monday night, and then there was that call...

Look. Astrid had been going to this school long enough and had enough happen to her while she was here to be a little skeptical and reluctant to just give in to a compulsion to go into the woods when she'd been sleeping poorly. She just couldnt' see any scenario where that didn't turn into a whole thing, especially at the end of a semester. So she was trying to put it off, trying to resist it, even though she knew full well that all the distractions for shenanigans and the complicated floral arragements she tried to put together in the meantime, were only going to hold it off for so long...

She was determined to at least make it through a full day of work before she finally wound up probably giving in and then deal with....who even knew what.

She was just...so tired....

Covent Garden is open!

Caritas; Wednesday [08/18].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Between making her jello, fielding a few texts from her parents about making another (likely disastrous) attempt at the whole 'invite the boyfriend over for dinner' thing like they were in any way, shape, or form some kind of normal family, following the ranty string of updates from Amaya about the whole situation with the Squishy machine at the store, and (of course) shenanigans, Summer had been good and distracted from the weird-ass dreams she'd been having and the apparent urge to go traipsing through the woods for something for most of the day before her shift at Caritas for the evening.

And then when she got in, she was distracted even more by Tino's decision to try to slowly work his way up to breaking the world record for the world's longest Jägerbomb train.

"I feel like I should do something to stop this," Summer admitted to herself, her eyes wide as she shook her head even at Tino's attempt to perfect even just four at a time, "but I just can't."

More like the world's most inevitable Jägerbomb train-wreck, am I right???

The Woods, Wednesday

[endsthegame]

If you dream them, they will come. If you dream them, they will come. If you dream them, they will come.

The stone had begun to glow softly after yesterday, soaking up Rey's dreams. But there were more to be found, more dreamers to call to it. And so it kept humming, singing, reaching out to sleeping minds: dream. They will come.

[[ nfb. for dreamers to come touch the stone, and non-dreamers to fail to find it. ]]
