Infinite Consortium, Monday

[deathsmajesty]

It was the day before Christmas Eve and Liliana had gotten to use the umbrella she had modified last year to catch all of the chocolate coins that were falling. Clearly, it was an excellent day to be Liliana (as most days were, honestly. But some days it was great with chocolate.)

Rather than allowing anything as unpleasant as work sully her excellent day, Liliana had brought a book along to work with her - a very frivolous and tawdry novel, perfect for the last day of work for the year - and was snuggled up in one of the many thick, warm blankets she'd had brought to the store to keep her warm now that the weather was getting chillier still. A cup of tea and piles of gelt to nibble on made this an almost perfect shift.

The Perk, Monday Morning

It was a bleary-eyed and somewhat sleep-deprived Watts who stumbled his way into the Perk on Monday morning. As per usual, he requested a mocha. This time, though, the baristas insisted on adding peppermint syrup. Which wasn't bad, just not at all what he was accustomed to. He found himself a table and twirled down in to the seat, intent on nursing that coffee and nibbling on the chocolate coins from the sky until he felt more awake.

The Magpie Emporium, Monday [23/12]

The store was open for people who'd left their gift shopping to the last minute, but there was a sign up by the register telling customers to talk to the roomba or the shop cat, (their better bet was Little Bot) as Vi was far more focused on the notebook she had open in front of her.

Look, it was very important she get this scenario right. She couldn't give Steph a worse present than last year, even if Steph wouldn't care, Vi would.
