Fandom Island Museum, Thursday Daytime

[hasaknightjob]

Steven was at work but tired. It felt as though he'd been running a marathon of activities which had nothing to do with being on the island.

(Yes, he did wonder. But he and Marc could account for most of their waking time so it wasn't that.)

Perhaps Steven just hadn't been getting restful sleep for some reason. Or he was being affected by something that had nothing to do with him at all. Who could say?

Regardless, he was at the Welcome Desk, gratefully sipping from what was neither his first nor would be his last cup of tea for the day, and there to help any visitors who stopped by.

Stark Industries - Thursday

[the_best_sister]

Of all the things Yelena expected when she took a job at Stark Industries, dealing with a "security" issue at the gremlin-run Starbucks wasn't one of them.

The gremlins had tried to "upgrade" the espresso machine to run faster and produce more coffee. While they succeeded, the machine had turned into an espresso cannon, spraying the lobby like a firehose and pinning the gremlins against the wall.

Unfazed, Yelena stood there, debating whether to let them suffer their own genius or step in. With a heavy sigh, she walked over and unplugged the machine.

"Congratulations. You’ve invented the first espresso fire hose. Want to tell me why my boots are covered in coffee?"

The gremlins looked up at her with wide eyes, still dripping with espresso. One of them sheepishly offered her a cup filled to the brim with coffee, half of which spilled before it even reached her. Yelena just sighed and snatched the cup of their hand.

"Clean that up," she ordered, gesturing at the small lake of espresso in the lobby before heading off to add milk and pumpkin spice syrup to her free latte.

Groovy Tunes; Thursday [09/19].

Not only did Stewart actually come into work that Thursday, but he also came in earlier than anyone would probably ever reasonably expect from him, and he almost immediately went to work, setting up his laptop at the counter and spending the morning bent over it intently. More often than not, he also had his headphones on, too, and so there was a good chance that, even if he was right there, a customer might need to wait a moment before he realized they were there, in which case they'd get a little bit of a sneer as he lowered his headphones and actually helped them with whatever they were there for.

A bit later, though, he'd abandoned the counter to head to the back and the turntables, to start putting some of the things he had been working on into practice, again with that laser-focus of a man with a plan and a determination to actually bring it to fruition.

It was nice, actually.

He really did need to make the most of it while it lasted.

The Magpie Emporium, Thursday (9/19)

[drumsticksandd20s]

Steph was having a lot of fun this morning, theming the new games display around one about becoming a rock star, and she had a speaker set up beside the display with an appropriate playlist going.

Which was like... she was pretty sure this music was slightly older than her dad's taste in music, but there were some pretty sick drums going on there.

Pixie Dust; Thursday [09/19].

[beautiful_boc]

Last week was all about new sweaters, and this week apparently seemed to be the week for plaids and flannels! And Boc was incredibly thrilled to discover that one of the shipments included just fabrics that he could start working with, in a variety of different plaid patterns and colors and even a few different thicknesses.

And after a good deal of time just sort of appreciating the quality and the feel of them as he spread them out over the counter in front of him, he got to work, mostly on cloaks and capes, because they were pretty much what he was best at and they were hopefully moving into the time of year where cloaks and capes would actually be useful and maybe a bit of what people would be looking for!

He might try his hand at a few skirts, too, and, by next week, he might feel confident enough to try a shirt.

The Devil's Nest, Thursday Evening

[ifwebeworthy]

The not-so-dulcet strains of "Cotton-Eyed Joe" were still emanating from...somewhere. Thor was considering electrocuting the entire building, held back only by his lingering fear that it might not be enough to make it stop. He would hate to make Eric pay for an electrician and an exorcist, but seriously, where was that exorcist already?

The Photo Hut - Thursday

[flamesburned]

Since it was getting closer to the end of the month, Liz decided to get a start working on the end of month financial report. Even though, unlike last week, it was turning out to be quite an email heavy day. Most of the morning was being spent replying to emails and not much work was being done on the report, even though Liz did prefer working on the emails to working on the report, so she didn’t mind delaying working on the report for a bit.
