Monday: Covent Garden Flowers

[mylandmyrules]

Nell and the kittens were here bright and early to get a start on the day. Unfortunately, someone had mistakenly delivered over two hundred boxes of bubble wrap and another hundred boxes of corn chips and left the boxes blocking the entrance to the store

A little searching discovered that today was National Bubble Wrap Day and yesterday had been National Corn Chip Day, but no information about why any of this had been sent to the store or who sent it. Once Nell got all the boxes inside she'd be on the phone trying to get someone to come and take it where it belonged.

Until then the cats were enjoying plunging into the one box of bubble wrap that she'd opened.

Fandom Fire Station, Monday

[justalittlerepressed]

Continuing the trend of animal based emergencies, Eddie got a call early into his shift about a snake on a roof.

Because that made sense for Maryland in the winter, sure.

Fortunately for him, it was a plastic snake and said plastic snake was now safely tucked away in Buck's locker where it was ready to leap out at him the moment it was opened.

He made his own fun these days.

[open!]

Caritas, Monday

[needsacatchphrase]

Well, another Monday, another special to Gove a go. And why not stick with the whole mead theme, right?

It was very Norse, after all.

Special
Hot Mulled Mead

"It's good," she assured Tino, taking a sip to test it out herself.

Tino? Less than eager to give it a try.

Fandom Museum- Monday Morning

[anomaly_research_nerd]

Connor was at his desk, fairly organized and for once not rushing around to finish the morning pre-opening to-do list Blathers had left for him. Over on the table near the desk was Rex, curled up in the blanket he had insisted on bringing along from the apartment.

"Well at least you get to just sleep here, same as back at the apartment, mate," Connor said when Rex gave a somewhat annoyed-sounding chirp. "And it will do you some good to get out a bit. Don't need ya going stir crazy on me."

Rex seemed to either accept that or had just chosen to ignore Connor completely because he simply burrowed under the blanket again.



The Museum is Open!

The Photo Hut; Monday [01/30].

[hashtag_chocobro]

All the administrative stuff that went with running the Photo Hut definitely landed squarely in Liz's lap, usually; Prompto was absolutely more of the product knowledge, repairs, and hawking his own freelance photography work side of things. But since they were both in agreement that Liz was going to take it easy the next few weeks with the due date swiftly approaching, he was going to try and tackle as much of that stuff as he could, just so she had less reason to worry or feel compelled to worry about it.

Which meant Prompto was going to spend a lot of time hunched over the computer, and just about as much time telling himself to focus and not get distracted by other things as he did actually focusing and not being distracted by other things.

The biggest thing, it seemed, though, was him going back and forth on whether or not playing music was helping him out or just making it worse, so he was going through phases, really, of working in silence or blaring various styles of music, just to see if some of them gelled better than others.

It may not be the most efficient day of work, sure, but at least some work was getting done?

The Photo Hut is open!

Turtle & Canary; Monday [01/30].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Apu and the cheese panda had apparently worked tirelessly on a new advertising campaign, not for any particular cheese produce, but just for cheese in general, and they brought it to Summer immediately after she came into the store that day after her class for her approval.

"Cheese," she read the words on the prototype poster they'd given her, before looking up at their eager, hopeful faces, "it gives you ideas?"

And that was it, apparently. That was the whole ad.

"Okay, then," she said, shrugging her shoulders and handing the poster back. "Sure? I mean, I guess it's not wrong?"

They were, however, far too pleased with this and hurried off to put the poster up and start....inspiring people, she supposed. With cheese. And...ideas.

The Devil's Nest, Monday, January 30, 2023

[texted3times]

Today Eric came into the bar to find Tiny constructing some kind of small hut on the top of the bar out of cocktail umbrellas. "You are not allowed back on this bullshit again," Eric told him, jabbing his finger into the air.

Tiny ignored him.

Welcome to the Devil's Nest. Enjoy the tropical drinks? In January?

Pizza Planet, Monday

[carbsliftthespirit]

In light of the crimes committed against the noble pizza by the peoples of Scandinavia (particularly Sweden), Raiden had decided to suspend his exploration of the world through pizza and go a little more upscale with the specials this week.

Specials
Lobster Polenta Pizza with Sun-Dried Cherry Tomatoes
Steak & Blue Cheese Pizza
Scallop & Bacon Pizza

Yeah, that was more like it.

Pizza Planet is open!

Furnado Animal Shelter; Monday [01/30].

[kawaii_complex]

Sakaki hadn't meant to be so late for work that day; she'd just gotten caught up in one thing or another in her attempts to get ready and be on her way...

...okay, okay. So maybe while she was sleeping, Maya had curled up in the crook of her arm, and was still asleep there by the time she woke up, and she was so incredibly enamored with him in that moment that she couldn't bring herself to even move a muscle, and it was only when he finally stirred in order to start asking for breakfast that she was able to bring herself to get up and get her day started.

She knew that this was something she was going to have to work on, but today was not that day, and it could clearly wait for a time when her boss was not nearly so cavalier as Sidon was about tardiness.

At least she made it in, though, that was what really couldn't, wasn't it?

Furnado is open!

The Magpie Emporium, Monday [30/01]

[giveittoyoursister]

When Vi went up to tidy the play area, she found the gremlins, apparently having ended their sit in, playing These Zombies Have Spores! An Action RPG In The Fungal Post-Apocalypse!. Since they weren't actually bothering anyone she decided the best course of action was just to ignore them and leave them to it.

Which meant she had no idea why some time later most of them suddenly started loudly wailing and sobbing (a sound that and sight that Vi wasn't going to forget in a while) as the only two who weren't making a ruckus acted out some kind of sober, serious conversation.
