Covent Garden Flowers; Wednesday [12/15].

[white_oleander]

To her credit, it had actually only taken Astrid until the second time to realize what was going on, when she heard a knock at the door and, despite knowing full well that she'd unlocked it when she game in, stood up and went to open it for whoever was knocking in case they needed the help, only to discover a small cluster of reindeer-clad gremlin who threw fake red noses at her and then scampered away with what she assumed were gremlin giggles.

But she actually did keep opening the door when they continued to knock throughout the day because had was actually kind of enjoying then putting those fake noses on various plants and floral arrangements now that she had them, and, look, it was a job at a flower shop on a small island at the beginning of winter. It was all poinsettias and holly at this point, and you had to entertain yourself somehow that wasn't pretty much sucking all of your paint supplies dry and you were trying to save up money so you could manage to, you know, live once you graduated.

Covent Garden is open!

Turtle & Canary; Wednesday [12/15].

[sake_shinigami]

To Shunsui, the 'path of least resistence' was practically a way of life, and he was very, very rarely one to not look favorably on the easy way out of something. There were, however, situations where things were just a bit too easy, even for someone such as himself.

Like when he came into the shop that morning afternoon to discover a newfound obsessesion on Apu's part with pearl neckaces, apparently.

....not even Shunsui could feel good about taking the bait on that one.

So he was just going to keep his mouth shut and let Apu live his life, and they'll just have to wait and see if he had the fortitude to keep doing so should any customers happen to bring it up.

Caritas; Wednesday [12/15].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Oh, man. What a great week so far, and Summer was thrilled about it and in a great mood that evening, so great that she was back to showing off some bar tricks for her TikTok in her (very limited) downtime. Tino offered to help her film them, but she knew he was terrible and so she was good with just propping up her phone at a distance and hoping the supports didn't give way half-way through.

But, seriously, how could she not be in a great mood? Her classes were done for the semester, her boyfriend was back, and Troy's stupidity had actually made her life a little easier with his guerilla hiring practices.

Granted, since it was getting to be the end of the semester, she was pretty sure there was some real bullshit heading their way soon, but that was all the more reason to really this high while she still could!

Also it helped that she managed to convince Tino to wear one of those fake red noses from the gremlins hiding out in the back room. She knew they were going for the whole red-nosed reindeer thing, obviously, but it just made him look more like himself: a complete and total clown.

Someone had found an unexpected abundance of lemons in her kitchen that morning, yes, why do you ask?

Summer really needed to stop having conversations with herself on the specials board.

Mooby Land, Wednesday Afternoon

[doctorgingerspice]

Another Wednesday afternoon meant another shooting lesson. And all told, it had gone pretty well. Will’s skills were clearly improving even after just the two lessons, though he knew he still had a long way to go.

Anyway. For something that involved mostly standing in one place, it sure did burn some calories, which was why Will had suggested getting something to eat after.

“I don’t think I’ve been to one of these places since I was in college,” Will admitted, eyeing the menu. Surprisingly, it hadn’t changed much.

[ooc: expecting one, but open fast food restaurant is open!]

Magic Box, Wednesday

[gospel_of_oblivion]

Look, if the reindeer-Gremlins kept throwing red noses at her every time she opened the door to their knocking, they had to expect to get dropped through Illyana's portals into the ocean outside. That was just how this was going to work. She didn't want anything that they'd been touching anywhere near her.

There was one that seemed to think it was an amusement ride and kept showing back up, soaking wet, but, well, Gremlins were strange and there wasn't much you could do about them, beyond keep yeeting them off the shore.

The Magic Box was open and ocd-free, and Illyana was there to help, in between playing wack-a-Gremlin with her powers.

The Devil's Nest, Wednesday Evening

[okteiviakom]

The club was favoring jazzy Christmas stuff on its sound system again, and Octavia wasn't bothering to fight it. She was working on a list, behind the bar, whenever she had nothing else to be doing.

What kind of list?

Well, that was private. And involved a lot of Googling on her phone.

The Devil's Nest was open.

[OOC: And flying ocd freeee.]

The Perk - Wednesday Afternoon

[onlyajones]

Jo had made it through her first semester of classes at Fandom and once she finished her library shift on Friday, she would get to go home over the Christmas break on the weekend.

At least that was her current plan … she had no idea that those plans were not going to be happening this weekend.

As had become the norm on Wednesdays she had gotten her normal hot cocoa and took her normal seat by the window. She wondered what her schedule would be like next semester and if she’d stick to Wednesdays for her hot cocoa, since she was found over the semester that that was what she liked doing. It just so happened that her classes were finished by Wednesday.

It had definitely been an interesting semester …turning into that girl who was some kind of superhero in her world and then turning into a kid … she just wasn’t going to think about what happened at halloween.

Considering the year that she’d been at Malory Towers she hadn’t tried at all and had been bottom of the form .. she hoped she’d at least managed to pass her classes, she still wasn’t sure about her overall performance but she knew that it had to be better than the previous year and she felt if anything she’d at least accomplished that.

[open!]
