The Perk- Tuesday Morning

[alwaysonguard]

Was it too early to be up and about? Maybe for some. But The Perk was open and he was awake so there was no point in not taking advantage of the caffeine that awaited.

The year was coming to an end and Dwight was finding himself with a lot to think about.  This had been his first year on the island and while he never would have expected it, there are no denying it. Fandom was home now, so much so that he wasn't even sure he would ever want to go back to Haven, even if the opportunity presented itself.  He had come to Fandom looking for a change and a new life.

He had found that and a lot more than he had bargained for. For all their similarities, Fandom felt more like home than Haven ever had, and while that still surprised him, Dwight wasn't going to fight it. He was quite content with the way things were and how things had ended up and how things were shaping up for the year ahead.

He mulled over these and other thoughts as he sat by the window with a large highly caffeinated drink and watched the island slowly come to life. 


[The perk is open for any caffeine needs you have]

[I have a 10 hr work day today.... please distract me from this end of year madness!]

Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

It was Kitty's last shift before the party, and while she'd be doing stuff right up until the last minute, this was her last chance to try out things like drinks.

SPECIALS
Drunk Jack Frosties
Jingle Juice

Meanwhile Tino was behind the bar attaching strings to mini liquor bottles to make ornaments because that was totally happening.


[Open, no OCD!]

Fandom Fire Station | Tuesday

[firehousehimbo]

It was, unsurprisingly, another slow day at the fire station. Buck had intended on trying to arrange a phone call with Maddie to take up his time but calling a new parent with a three hour time zone difference was a good way to get called some interesting insults. Did not think that one through.

He was just gonna sit here and quietly drink his coffee until he thought Maddie had enough time to cool off.

Magic Box | Tuesday

[scarlet_chaos]

There was a party this week which meant Wanda had to get a dress. She decided to kill two birds with one stone and practice magic as well. So there was a mannequin in the store today, and Wanda was spending her time trying to manifest a dress for herself.

Occasionally there would be a size issue or one of the arms on the dress a different fabric, and once the dress had come out--gasp--blue instead of red, but she was figuring it out. Sort of made her feel like one of those fairies in Sleeping Beauty.

Groovy Tunes, Tuesday

[myfifthrodeo]

Rosa had entirely handwavily been back in Roswell for the holiday. Having missed ten Christmases entirely unwillingly, she wasn't about to miss one on purpose now.

She'd gotten back into town just in time for her class yesterday, and now she was at the shop today, more 90s alternative blasting much too loudly on the stereo system as she graffitied the walls.

Hmm. Did the store need "What the world needs now is some true words of wisdom like 'la la la la la'" scrawled over the folk section? Well, it was getting it anyway.

[I haven't thought of this song in a really long time, but damned if it isn't stuck in my head today. Open!]

The Photo Hut - Tuesday

[flamesburned]

Liz had ended up going home for Christmas and spent a few days longer than she had intended but she did eventually feel the need to come back to Fandom, she had too much work at the store to put it off and even though Professor Broom had told her she could take longer if she needed - she felt …she felt like she could face whatever was going to come her way as a result of what she’d done in the time loop.

She hoped she was ready anyway.

The last several days she had been home had helped, going to midnight mass on Christmas Eve with Professor Broom had been rather soothing and helped calm her down somewhat. She had at least stopped falling into hysterics but she was still rather pale and now she was mostly just tired and listless and was having trouble staying focused.

She remembered how she had been after Pittsburg .. how she had been feeling and how long it had taken her to pull herself together.

She and Rain had gotten in late last night so she hadn’t had much chance to do any work but now she was looking through the list of tasks that she had to complete.

She sent a quick message to Prompto to let him know that she was back in Fandom and then sent him the additional cat photos that she had taken in the last few days that she had been home, since a good portion of her time had been spent with just being with Hellboy and the cats since that had proved to be an excellent distraction from everything.

Also talking to Abe had helped because even though it could be a bit intimidating when he knew everything about you and what you were thinking … in Liz’s case that had been helpful and hearing her own jumbled thoughts articulated and spoken back to her, that had also helped calm her down a bit when she had been experiencing the worst of her moods.

Now that she was back, she had boxes of stock to unpack and put away and emails to respond to so she had enough work to keep her busy and distracted during the morning.

[I was going to wait a couple more days but someone wanted to return already - the Photo Hut is so very open !]
