Turtle & Canary; Wednesday [01/18].

[sake_shinigami]

It was Maintenance Day at Turtle & Canary!

Which meant that Shunsui had had himself a very good laugh when he breezed in for the day and had Apu-san promptly trying to hand him a toolbox and a pair of safety goggles, and was informed that the only thing Shunsui planned on maintaining that day was his sleep schedule, thank you.

Which wasn't necessarily true, because he felt he should also inform their maintenance woman about such an occasion with perhaps a text or two letting her know that this was even a thing, and that there was a good chance that Apu-san's attempt to maintain anything was likely to result in requiring her services before the day was through.

He fully expected for those texts to go ignored.

Caritas; Wednesday [01/18].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer was offended, and Tino was sulking, so, in other words, things were pretty much business as usual at Caritas that Wednesday, and the particular source of Summer's irritation was that, now that there was a new employee, Tino seemed to think that made Summer and him new besties that needed to dish about the newbie.

"No, Tino," said Summer, "I am not going to gossip about and talk shit about Jane with you. I like Jane. Better than I like you, that's for sure."

Even if knowing that Jane was working here made Summer want to start considering actually working more long sleeved shirts into her wardrobe to save her inferior bare arms the embarrassment.

Dite's Decadent Delights | Wednesday

[begmetwice]

Irene had always known that one of these days, her habit of trying to do as many of these small tasks around the shop as she could by herself was going to get her into trouble. And lo and behold, here she was, trouble abounding left and right today.

First, she'd managed to whack herself in the nose while putting away a few of the -- wavier, wobblier sorts of toys. One moment of distraction and the next -- silicone to the nose so hard she was seeing stars.

Then, shortly thereafter, she'd broken a nail in an effort to pry apart a vibrator's battery comparment so she could put it out as a demo. A tragedy? To be sure, but hardly noteworthy when not stacked against today's other offenses.

Which now, with Irene having briefly kicked off her shoes to climb up on a stool to fix a bit of signage, included a run in her damned stocking, because she could not catch a bloody break today. So -- if the proprietress was needed, she could be found behind the counter with a small bottle of clear nail varnish, doctoring up that poor stocking.

(Could she just have gone upstairs and gotten a new one? Certainly, but that just seemed to be inviting a spill down the stairs with the luck she'd been having so far, didn't it?)

Diaz and Ass. | Wednesday

[no_culdesac]

There was work at the office today! A case! Maybe even multiple cases!!

Like Arthur, Nancy was not excited by the prospect of missing persons so much as just glad to have something to keep her hands busy. She took care of what little filing and mail there was to sort through before eagerly looking to see what the other two had already gotten into earlier in the week. (The other two. You know. Her peers and coworkers! She was the same as those two competent adults!!)

(Honestly, Nancy didn't really feel like she was deluding herself there, either? This wasn't like working at the Post. No one treated her like an idiot here.)

In any case, her little notepad was rapidly filling up with neatly-written shorthand, and she was debating whether she wanted to ask Eddie to tag along when she tried to hit the pavement on the mainland later to follow some of these leads.

The Devil's Nest, Wednesday Evening

[okteiviakom]

Yes, Octavia still worked here! Honestly, with how long the vacation had extended past the holiday, she was almost as surprised as anyone.

And yet, even with her long absence, it was just another regular night at the club. Jazzy piano tunes on the sound system, the ax range in full working order, and Tiny working on some kind of secret project at the other end of the bar.

And Octavia, not asking about that last thing.

[ooc: I LIVE. Sort of, in a no-OCD and possible-SP kind of way. Open!]

Dinosaurs 101 - Wednesday Morning

[itsananomaly]

That morning it was Connor who stood in front of the class, somewhat nervously clearing his throat. He wasn't sure he was quite ready to 'take the reigns' and start the class off. But Cutter seemed to have faith in him, so Connor was willing to give it a go. And pray he didn't screw up and disappoint Cutter in the process.

"So..." Connor said, trying to keep that nervous tone out of his voice. "Today, we are going to be learning about another very popular and likely familiar dinosaur. The mighty triceratops. The Ticeratops was a large herbivore that walked around on four feet and was easily recognized by the horns on his face and the common presence of a large boney frill around its head and neck. Triceratops is actually the overall family of dinosaurs, and there were a number of sub-species that had different sized frills and different numbers of horns."

Connor glanced over at Cutter, hopefully, wanting to see if he wanted to add anything or interject.

Cutter nodded, giving Connor a rare smile to show that he had done a good job taking charge of the class for the lesson, “another fact to know about the Triceratops is that according to fossils that have been discovered, they are dated back to the last three million years of the Cretaceous Period and that this makes it one of the last of the non avian dinosaurs to have evolved,” he explained, “it is also important to note that most of what we know about Triceratops comes from skulls or partial skulls as bones from the rest of the body are less common to recover,” he finished and looked back at Connor, nodding to give him the go ahead to finish up the lecture.

"So, after going through the handouts and reading a bit more," Connor said as he started handing out the worksheets, "Cutter and I would like you to write up a small report on one of the triceratops types that you can turn in at the next class. And of course, if you have any other questions, we both are here." Connor gave a small smile when he was standing back in front of the class, breathing a small sigh of relief that it had seemed to go pretty well.

The Magpie Emporium, Thursday (1/19)

[drumsticksandd20s]

Right. There was still a pallet's worth of instant ramen that needed to be sold, and no free shelf space to stow any of it... which meant that Steph was stacking it up in piles on either side of the beholder standee, and arranging some of the fantasy creature plushies as if they were backing away from the ramen in fear.

She put up a sign on the beholder standee, so it looked like it was holding the sign in its mouth:

Buy 2 standard minis (or one jumbo one), get 2 free Dragon Jerky ramen!
(5 free with purchase of a dragon mini.)
(Honestly, they're pretty decent.)

Look, it wasn't like she'd actually purchased the stuff as stock, so it wasn't like she had to recoup the costs or anything.

[OOC: Open! And I might even be around-ish during the day!]
