Diaz & Ass.; Tuesday [02/08].

[died8yearsago]

Things were pretty quiet for Rosa so far this week, as she mostly worked on tying off a couple loose ends and looking into some other new jobs that might be worth her while. All pretty rote, boring, uneventful stuff that just sort of kept the wheels greased on this whole enterprise. Mindless stuff, really, but eventually, she needed to grab something out of her desk to cross-reference from a previous job, so she reached down to pull out the drawer...

...which seemed surprisingly heavy for something with just files and notebooks in it, and very distinctly sloshed in an all-too-familiar way when she pulled it open and, sure enough...

"Goddamn coffee drawers!" she cursed, as the movement of the drawer caused some of it to splash out, a little onto her jeans and onto the floor and definitely, somehow, onto some of her papers on the desk. "I thought I was done with you!"

Honestly, if there hadn't already been a precedent for them, she'd have suspected Tightpants was behind this, but, no, no, this definitely had the feeling of something that was long overdue that she'd been lured into a false sense of security about ever since she'd left the Troopers.

Diaz & Ass. is open!

Blackstone Foundry and Forge; Tuesday [02/08].

[special_rabbit]

Well, it was the week before that mushy holiday, which meant that, even if she hadn't gotten in a pretty decent order for some of them for Irene's party later this week, Amaya would be hitting the hammer pretty hard on getting out a good crop of her metal roses. It was pretty much tradition, at this point, even if they didn't usually sell as much as she'd like them to, but, honestly? They were a quick study and kind of fun to do, especially when she'd made things a little more interesting by using some damascus steel this time around, treading some of the Tanalore steel she had to do some different color variants, and was adding some nice gold tips to some of the petals while she was at it, too. If anything, she had a feeling thesee might sell nicely on the Etsy shop, and, well, she had those nice new glass cases on her shiny new front counter that they could go into, too, and they'd look mighty smart, sitting there among the nicer examples of her throwing stars and daggers.

There was a sandwich board right outside promoting them to passers-by, as well, with the various rates and prices listed, and then she got steadily to work.

...and only got mildly distracted when her mind started to wander a little with even more variation, one that definitely involved the phrase 'what if roses, but with spikes' as if, you know, thorns weren't already a thing....

The Forge is open!

Fandom Fire Station | Tuesday

[firehousehimbo]

It was nice-ish out today so Buck had the doors to the station open, just in case anyone in the public wanted to drop by. He doubted it'd happen, but he couldn't say he didn't try to be welcoming.

Buck himself was at the reception desk, filling out some forms that always seemed to be needed to filled out. It wouldn't be a fire station without redundant forms to fill out to really ensure everything was up to code.

[Open]

Magic Box | Tuesday

[scarlet_chaos]

There weren't any weird deliveries today, which was kind of disappointing to Wanda. She could have used the distraction. So instead she was messing around online, considering ordering flowers for herself.

Not in a sad way, in a "my apartment could use cheer" kind of way.

[Open]

Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

They had received a whole lot of flavored vodkas to try at the bar today. Just, so many.

It was leading to a lot of questions as Kitty and Tino unpacked them, like "What's the difference between Watermelon and Summer Watermelon?" and "Why cake?" and "We're going to have some weird specials at Three Minute Dates, huh?"

SPECIALS
If you can come up with a drink using Blue Raspberry Vodka,
you get that drink free

Around Town | Tuesday Afternoon

[begmetwice]

The last time Irene had thrown a party (which was well on its way to being a decade ago, even including the time weirdness factor), it had been an elegant, dress-coded, printed-invitations sort of affair.

But when in Fandom, do as the Fandomites do. Hence, Irene was now tacking up flyers throughout town. Classy, elegantly be-fonted, laser-printed flyers on stupidly expensive paper, sure, but still. Means to an end.

The Devil's Nest, Tuesday Night

[my_own_advocate]

"Are you telling me the stereo won't play anything besides Don't Stop Believing?" Lucifer asked, incredulous. "What is this, some kind of leftover from Eric's old war on DJs? Turn it off."

As Tiny hurried to do just that, Lucifer muttered something to himself about bloody teen TV shows.

A few minutes later, the curses were much louder, when he found out the piano would only play the chords from that exact bloody song in that exact bloody order.

No music tonight, folks.

[[ open! ]]

The Photo Hut - Tuesday

[flamesburned]

When Liz came down to open the store today, she had decided to start working on some photo ideas for Rain in her notebook, since she had a feeling that this was going to get rather competitive with the different photos they were going to take of the cats. For inspiration she had brought Rain down with her and let her look around the store as she started writing down her ideas.

She figured it wouldn’t hurt to get a head start - well she was just a bit biased towards Rain and wanted her to stand out in the competition, yes it was just a friendly competition for people to judge the cutest cat but she wanted to make sure that she could think of some cute sets for Rain to pose in.
