Atlas Gym; Tuesday [05/07].

[sword_chocobro]

The last few weeks had felt more than a little off, especially with the end of the semester and whatever had gone down while Gladio had been stuck as a plant, so he came into the gym with the intention to get focused and back on track with the usual steady rhythm of things. Thankfully, he knew his staff was pretty good about keeping up with things no matter what the island was throwing at anyone at any given time, and if he needed any sort of reassurance that he didn't need to worry, it was coming in to find the Cup Noodle^TM nice and stocked with some of his favorite flavors.

No new ones, either, which was good, because that meant he wasn't going to get distracted trying to get it, and could just get his work done, taking a few breaks from being holed up in his office all day to do some rounds and maybe squeeze in a rep or two here and there.

Atlas is open!

Luke's Diner; Tuesday [05/07].

[chef_chocobro]

There had been a bit of a reluctance in Ignis to come into the diner today, his desire to just stay home and fuss over Liliana with her sudden voice-stealing ailment incredibly strong. And while he truly didn't feel any great sense of duty toward his job here at Luke's, he did recognize that he'd been shirking any illusion of duty pretty strongly recently. So he probably should go in, and just trust that Liliana would use her time wisely to get some rest and not do anything foolish to exacerbate things or make whatever it was even worse.

No, he was not feeling confident about that prospect at all.

But it also felt...important, that, even without feeling confident about it, he still did it.

And then, when he was done here, and he came home to make up for lost time with all of his fussing, he'd have a good case for it.

Either way, he was rather distracted today (always something to make the staff feel nice and comfortable whenever he picked up a knife), and just trying not to think of what could possibly be the reason for her current state that wasn't just a standard springtime flu...

Trooper Station | Tuesday

[knife_bender]

Ice cream guy had come and gone and all that was left was the paperwork. Diego didn't really enjoy paperwork, but interviewing the hot firefighters and the employees at Chilly Boulder had been hilarious and he was enjoying reliving the experience as he typed up his report.

It was the little things in life.

Fandom Fire Station | Tuesday

[firehousehimbo]

Buck had a "shout if you need a firefighter" sign up at the reception desk. Today he was spending his shift in the kitchen, trying to perfect Bobby's chili. Between the practice chili and the actual chili...well let's just say there was going to be a lot of chili eating at the Buckley-Diaz home.

Magic Box | Tuesday

[scarlet_chaos]

It was humid out, but not hot enough for Wanda to justify turning on the a/c. So she waved her hands and caused a light breeze to be flowing throughout the store today. It was blowing away some of the lighter items at the store but she'd deal with that later. Right now she was enjoying not being sweaty and gross.

[It is SO HUMID. Open]

Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

Kitty was just bored enough to start considering things to do, which ended up in her maybe trying to plan things for a party. Maybe something casual? And not in a bar, even if that was really easy when you ran a bar.

Tino, who hadn't taken down the space decorations from Wal-Mart's website after Saturday, had ideas, and Kitty was going to have to find some way to let him down easy that he would never be allowed in her house.

The Park, Tuesday Afternoon

[deathsmajesty]

It was true that Liliana was lacking a voice and that was very obnoxious right now. But she'd be lying if she said there wasn't the tiniest kernel of relief there, too. A discussion of the Chain Veil wasn't one she was particularly keen on having, especially since she knew they were going to end up arguing about it. And she vastly preferred just...not. Doing that.

Still, she was going to kick that thought down the road until she had a voice again. Instead, she had a blanket, a book, a bottle of a white, sparkling wine to focus on...and a whiteboard with a dry erase marker from T&C's in case somebody came by and she needed to communicate. With a lovely setup in the sunshine - though she had a parasol in case it got to be too sunny - away from both the duck pond and the playground, Lilinana settled in for a bit to get a bit of reading in for the day.

Midnight Manor Basement; Tuesday Afternoon

[totalwildcard]

Harley didn't have a room at the boarding house, no. But she had two things that were way more important!

First, she had Marc's permission to roam around Midnight's common areas. And no, usually she wouldn't have given two shits about anyone's permission to go anywhere she wanted to, but in the case of a sentient house that could actually bar her from coming in all by itself if no one told it it was cool to let her in? Yeah, she'd take having actual permission like some sorta rule-abiding goody two shoes.

Second, she had a bunch of laundry to do.

And that was what had her hanging out in Midnight's basement on that fine Tuesday afternoon, waiting by the washing machines for a very colorful load of clothing to finish doing its thing, and entertaining herself by reading another trashy novel while occasionally sipping from a nice glass of whiskey.

One of those things had come with her from her store, the other had just happened to wander on out of Marc's office. Could you guess which was which?
