The Magpie Emporium, Thursday (2/6)

[drumsticksandd20s]

The store heater hadn't been giving them any more problems since Vi managed to fix it on Monday, but just to be sure Steph had had a tech come by yesterday to do a full maintenance service on it.

Turned out, much to her horror, there had been several cat toys rattling around in there.

"Really?" she asked Saffron, who was curled up in her cat bed atop all the dusty and slightly fried-looking toys that'd been pulled out of the heater, like a small furry cat-dragon atop her hoard. "I promise you, Saff, nobody is going to take away the mice that are super gross from having been inside the heater for however the hell long."

Saffron ignored her, continuing to look superior. Sure, her plan had been foiled that time, but she'd iron out the wrinkles in future!

Steph sighed indulgently, left her a few dehydrated salmon chunks as tribute, and went off to arrange a new display of dice that all looked far too realistically like candy.

No, for real, read the sign over the case. Please don't eat them.

Fandom Island Museum, Thursday Daytime

[hasaknightjob]

Steven was hard at work behind the Welcome Desk of the museum today. The new souvenir mugs were in and he wanted to be sure they were displayed to their best advantage.

This did mean Steven was fussing over their placement a great deal. Though putting them into some sort of a pyramid shape on the shelves did seem to be the order of the day.

He was, as always, interruptible.

Groovy Tunes; Thursday [02/06].

[x_wondrous_x]

It was the first Thursday of the month, which meant it was time for another Open Mic Night at Groovy Tunes, so Stewart had spent the majority of his day in the store getting prepared for it, which, this time around, included setting up a light display in the window around the sign in it advertising the event to flash in time with the beat of whatever was playing on the stereo at any given time.

It took him a few tries, and he somehow managed to shock himself more that once, but after a while, he almost found himself trying to figure out how not to avoid it, but rather to do it intentionally to purposely get that little burst of electric shock running through him again.

You know. Totally normal response to unexpected electrocution.

Groovy Tunes is open!

Pixie Dust; Thursday [02/06].

[beautiful_boc]

No, despite Boc not really being around much lately, he had not been turned into a tree again, and, for once, he was actually quite grateful for that. Because, you see, he'd just not been paying much attention to the passing of days or keeping track of them again, and had been deeply mired in making a tree.

An Erdtree, to be specific. He'd embroidered a cloak with an Erdtree on it before, but now, after his conversation with Pam a few weeks ago that one morning on his way to the shop, he'd been a bit inspired to try and recreate the image of an Erdtree in a dress, and to do something truly unique with it in figuring out how to get subtle wiring around it so that it looked like the golden leaves of it were swirling about the person wearing it.

In his head, it looked absolutely phenomenal, but it was not translating so well to the actual physical world. So he'd been spending the last few weeks experiencing the incredible frustration of not getting something to work the way you wanted it to, followed by the elation of having figured it out, only to go right back down again when it turns out that what you thought was working was actually not.

Right now, he was focusing a little bit on the hem, to remind himself that he did know how to do something like this, and he just needed a break from the more complicated, high-minded stuff....or to remind himself that maybe he really should just stick to hemming and alterations....

Pixie Dust is open!

Wellspring Arms and Meditation Center- Thursday

[seriesofbaddecisions]

There was a gremlin in the store today. Sabine assumed it was eyeing something in one particular case, which of course she wasn't going to let it get. So they were in a standoff, just watching each other and waiting for the other one to make a move.

Times like this, maybe she should be wearing her armor again.

The Devil's Nest, Thursday Evening

[ifwebeworthy]

The bartender was talking to himself again at the Devil's Nest.

I do not need to exercise more.

"You have been getting out less, now that it is winter," Thor observed as he checked over the ingredients behind the bar. "Perhaps some squats would not go amiss." Modified, of course. The corner of Thor's mouth turned up in amusement as he added, "Or a burpee or two."

...are you screwing with me?

"I am merely concerned for your health!" He was totally screwing with Don.

The Photo Hut - Thursday

[flamesburned]

There were a lot of boxes when Liz got downstairs that day, so Liz was spending her morning sorting through the new stock that had arrived and updating the inventory as she went through the items. Once the inventory was done she started reorganising some of the display stands, rotating out the stock and figuring out what items needed to go out the back.

Trooper Station, Friday

[pocketpretzels]

Watts was leaving on holiday tomorrow and truth be told, his mind was more focused on that than on anything work related. Which was perhaps a good thing as any since with the groundhog... problem... er, "taken care of" there was absolutely nothing to do today. Not even a phone call regarding a misplaced garden gnome.

So, yes, there was Watts. Sitting at his desk, regularly checking his pocketwatch to mark the passing of time.
