Needful Things; Sunday
Sunday, September 22nd, 2024 10:08 amHarley's brain felt itchy. Only figuratively, of course - as far as she could tell, at least - but still. It was annoying. And persistent, to boot, since it had been going on since the previous weekend, which according to the fickle whims of Harley's unstable perception of time meant it had been going on forever.
The feeling also hadn't been helped by her failed glitter bomb attempt earlier in the week. She was going to have to hide the next trap even better - although she also had to wonder just how much of a paranoid wreck poor Frenchie had to be to have apparently checked things closely enough to notice the first one in time to not set it off?
Not her concern on Sunday, though. Oh, sure, she'd got started on building an even smaller rig for all the glitter, but it hadn't been doing anything for the itch, so she'd dropped it, and had taken Bruce out for a long walk instead.
And then on the way back, there it had been, just two doors down from her store: the tattoo place.
Flash forward several long moments and even more tiny needle stabs, and Harley was back in her own store, cheerfully puttering around with a protective second skin wrap over the new-old tattoo on the back of her left shoulder. There, that seemed to have taken some of the edge off of the itch! And if it stopped working, she could always go back for more!
In the meantime, Needful Things was open! No, it wasn't Friday. Considering Harley hadn't bothered opening the store on Friday, she clearly didn't care.
(open!)
