Covent Garden Flowers; Wednesday [10/20].

[white_oleander]

Astrid didn't find it at all surprising that there were an awful lot of tiny pumpkins in the flower shop that Wednesday, which just meant that she was clearly going to be working on a lot of fall-inspired arrangements that incorperated them, some of them just left as they were natureally and others, after taking a quick run to Turtle & Canary for better supplies than what she'd brought with her, being delicately painted, not so much with faces as one might expect leading up to Halloween, but, instead, just pretty patterns and designs that she felt could lead to some much more unique and interest arrangements than the expected autumnal fare.

She was honestly feeling pretty pleased with them, especially once she started getting a little fancy with some gold paint as well, and she could easily get caught up in her painting if she didn't have many interruptions, and the day would be over before she even knew it.

Covent Garden is open!

[sake_shinigami]

It was days like this where Shunsui really missed having Summer-chan around, even if only because she worked as a very good buffer between himself and Apu-san when something like this happened.

Because, you see, Apu-san had a problem...again...with Astrid-chan, and there was no one for him to go to about it except Shunsui at this point. And here Shunsui was getting nice and settled for a post-bare-minimum-of-managerial-work nap after getting in when Apu-san stomped up to the counter and promptly deposited several bags onto it in an angry fashion, and, at first, Shunsui didn't even see what was wrong. It was just candy corn, it was spooky season, wasn't candy corn just par for the course? It looked like Astrid-chan had ordered more than enough, what exactly was the problem here?

And that was when Apu-san told him to look at the bags a little closer, and, in doing so, Shunsui began to see what he meant.

"Ah," he said, frowning thoughtfully at the bag as he considered it. "Well, surely, it can't be all that bad..."

At which point, he opened one of them, tipped a few of the little treats into his hand, and popped them into his mouth.

It...really was that bad.

In fact, Shunsui discovered, a moment later, that he may have found something that not even sake could make better.

"Well," he decided, "you know what this calls for."

No, Apu, not firing Astrid. This called for...a sign.

Diaz & Ass.; Wednesday [10/20].

[died8yearsago]

Rosa was torn.

There was a lot of evidence she needed to start really shifting through and honing in on for the handful of cases she'd picked up on while she was in Boston; a few of them were going to be pretty open-and-shut, too, she just needed to finish up the files on it, but then there was this other thing, arguably more important, that involved sending out a few emails to her fellow faculty members at the school and pouring over a map of the floor where everyone had their office, which was spread out over her desk, making a few notes here and there and narrowing her eyes in thought at it...

Yeah, underground maple syrup rings and politians cheating on their wives would have to wait. There were only five days left until a certain heist was officially going to be underway...

Diaz & Ass. is open!

[[ and fellow teachers, please feel free to mod Rosa having emailed you at this point about her upcoming annual heist, especially if your teacher plans on participating! ]]

The Onsen, Wednesday afternoon

[existencemisspent]

Why hadn't anyone mentioned to Eliot before that the island had an actual hot spring? Complete with a Japanese style bathing facility built up on top of it?

This was clearly a failure of the island's tourist board. Or . . . City Hall. The Parks & Recreation department, maybe.

Anyway, someone had failed. But Eliot had found it anyway, and sank into the bathing pool with a long, pleased sigh.

"Umber's tits, this hits the spot." He leaned back, sinking in up to his chin, and closed his eyes. "Now if only there was a bar and some snacks, it'd be just about perfect."

[open!]

JGOB, Wednesday afternoon

[sith_happened]

Anakin was on a quest for decent cider donuts, which he blamed entirely on spending a week in Boston.

The people behind the counter told Anakin they'd been sold for hours and so he was contenting himself with a bear claw instead.

It just wasn't the same.

[OOC: Open!]

The Perk - Wednesday Afternoon

[onlyajones]

Jo had finished with classes for the week, one of which had been a rather intense math lesson … involving running, which she had not really done before coming to Fandom … even at Malory Towers. She decided to head to the Perk for what was becoming part of her weekly routine.

So Jo now had her normal hot cocoa and was finding it rather soothing to hold the mug between her hands and people watch.
