Covent Garden Flowers; Wednesday [10/06].

[white_oleander]

Apparently, Covent Garden was still having a moth problem, signficantly reduced from this Saturday, but still substantial enough to notice. Astrid made a note to herself to check the supply of moth balls at store and to potentially order some more on Saturday before she left for the school trip if the problem persisted, but for now, she was very much feeling a whole 'live and let live' approach to the whole thing, figuring that if she didn't bother them, they wouldn't bother her, and, if anything, it gave her something new to try to sketch, meaning the postcard boxes would be filled with sketches of moths in the next coming days.

She was only going to guess, however, that the guitar-playing orchid didn't quite agree with her approach, if its choice of music was anything to go off of.

So if there were any postcards mixed in there of a guitar stylized like an axe weilded by a moth-battling orchid in there, well...Inspiration came from all sorts of places, didn't it?

Covent Garden is open!

Turtle & Canary; Wednesday [10/06].

[sake_shinigami]

Summer-chan had barely even been gone a handful of days, and, already, there were problems at the store.

Well, Apu-san thought there were problems at the store. Shunsui didn't see what all the fuss was about, himself, but what he did know was that, without Summer-chan there to act as manager and mediator, he was getting the full brunt of Apu-san's complaints, and it was very difficult to listen to him when these rants were cutting into what was usually Shunsui's precious nap time.

Apparently, though, young Astrid-chan had made an error in her orders, and instead of getting a nice shipment of lavender soaps, they instead received a large shipment of lavender soups, and Apu-san was making the case that, clearly, she didn't know what she was doing and would cause the store to fall to ruin.

"I'm sure someone will buy them, Apu-san," Shunsui tried to appeal to him, calmly and patiently, and mostly just wanting to get back to his nap, "and we have plenty of other soaps in the meantime. If anything, if they don't move, I'm sure we can find a way to ship them out to space to Summer-chan where I'm sure she'll be absolutely delighted to attempt to make some sort of gelatin monstrosity out of them. Now, and I can't believe I'm saying this, can you please go back to stringing up garlic around every nook, cranny, and rafter of this place?"

Because, yes, that's right, they were apparently celebrating Garlic Lovers Day, so any vampires planning on shopping at Turtle & Canary that day? Sorry.

Dite's Decadent Delights | Wednesday

[begmetwice]

Given that it was now October and Halloween was in full swing, Irene had more than just the standard sexy costumes on display. She'd also brought out a collection of erotic Halloween-themed art, in case you wanted something a little sexier than tombstones and cobwebs in your decorations.

She herself was still toying with what she wanted to do as far as a costume. Something sexy? Something campy? Something sexy and campy? Something deliberately not sexy to defy expectations?

(No, that one was off the table. She couldn't bring herself to wear a hot dog suit or something.)

[those sexy decorations aren't really safe for work, no. Open and OCD-free today!]

Around Fandom - Early Wednesday Morning

[notagoose]

Goose had not had the chance to go for a run the last few days due to a) being a cat that was in all likelihood an alien and b) then waking up in his landlord’s apartment, shirtless, after having been taken in while he had been a cat.

Then he’d had to explain to Commander Walsh why he needed funds to repair his apartment and needless to say Walsh hadn’t been impressed.

Now he was finally able to get back to his normal running routine and try to stay focused on his run and not think about the last about the last couple of days.

Causeway into Town - Wednesday Morning

[flamesburned]

It felt strange to Liz that she was doing this. She couldn’t believe that after all this time she was back on the island where she had gone to school, that had been over ten years ago and now she was going to be running her own business.

Well technically it was Professor Bruttenholm’s since he had purchased the shop for her but she would be running everything herself and she got to work with photography, which after the last few weeks she was looking forward to getting lost in a creative project again.

Liz had packed everything into a duffel bag and a backpack, the rest of her equipment had already been sent onto her new place and she’d unpack it when she got to setting up her store.

She also had a cat carrier with a small tabby kitten inside named Rain, courtesy of Hellboy since like before when she had been a student he had given her a new kitten and now over ten years later, he had given her another one to keep her company. The name had been his idea as well because he thought it had been hilarious to have a cat named after water considering his origins and her powers.

She walked closer towards town, looking around to see what had changed since the last time that she had been here.

[and Liz is back in Fandom. Open!]

The Perk - Wednesday Afternoon

[canlendanear]

Even though it had been a bit weird turning into a different version of herself, it had at least meant that Alara didn’t have to think about home and her future after Fandom. It had also been strange that that other version of her had been in the military and that was the second time in as many months she had seen a glimpse of a future and she’d pursued a military career.

After her class was finished for the day, she decided to head to the perk and ended up trying a pumpkin spice latte. After that she sat down at a table and pulled out her data padd and decided to look up the Planetary Union academy just to have a look at what was required to join.
