The one real drawback to randomly buying an apartment building on top owning a restaurant was paperwork. Jedi typically weren't good at paperwork, so you can only imagine how bad a flunked Jedi was at it. But it was his responsibility now, so he was at the counter by the office, going through all of the residency records and making sure everything was in order.

He was starting to think that Gryph used to have the right idea. Straight up crime was a lot easier than this. And at least he could run from people trying to kill him. He'd have to come back to the paperwork eventually. So he might as well just stay here and finish going through it. Sigh.

Hook had a plan.

He'd heard of this 'Pirate Bay' thing in Sweden. He'd heard that a group called The Piracy Bureau had disbanded not long ago.

It was time for Hook to go become king of the pirates again. Even if he had to go to Sweden.

So, it was somewhat comical when Hook put up a little 'For Sale' sign in the corner of one of the front windows of the apartment building. Hey, he'd listed it online, too. But he liked the little sign.

He stood back to admire his handiwork, and smirked. Ahhh, it would be good to be a proper pirate again.

Boy, was he in for a bit of a surprise.

[ooc: Open post, Hook's last public post, buyer already pre-arranged, woohoo!]
[identity profile] cunningkingfish.livejournal.com
Hook wasn't particularly in a good mood, but he did have a record playing in the lobby of the apartment building. The Greatest Hits of Richard Wagner wasn't exactly subtle music, either. Or dancable. And yet, he had laid out a table of snacks and a bowl of rum punch, and would see who would join him in this impromptu mixer.

Hey, just because he was a ruthless pirate didn't mean he couldn't mingle.

[ooc: Open! Hell, you need not even be a resident to wander in.]

Hook was moving properly into the office at the Mauvaise Chance Apartments that day. A boombox blasted a song as he went about adding velvet curtains, bejeweled ornate decorations, and installed some traps to stop any would be thieves.

Hey, he believed in being thorough.

Ladies and gentlemen, the landlord of MCA was in. Will you brave the chance to talk with him?

[ooc: Open post, no OCD!]

While she wasn't entirely sure why she'd slogged her way out of her home and to the apartment building with her tot in tow. It was her landlord duty to make sure they were fine, though. She jury-rigged some space heaters in the lobby to be powered off a couple of car batteries. She also hooked up an electric kettle for hot cocoa and tea if needed.

She wasn't behind the counter today, but instead in the little jury-rigged space heater circle, playing with her little boy.

Mainly, it was a game of 'stop Nicky from touching the space heaters'.

[ooc: Open post! I needed something lighthearted, omg.]

Cally began today's shift at the apartment lobby counter by... dusting the place. Yes, she'd been a bit lax about coming in lately, which was a problem. She'd been enjoying the holidays (even if they weren't her holidays) with her son, and just had gotten out of the habit.

After the structured life on the Galactica, making her own rules had turned out a bit dangerous. One thing she didn't enjoy: all this bloody snow. The bleakness of it all reminded her of New Caprica. Those weren't memories she particularly liked.

When she glanced at the calendar after sitting down, she realized she'd missed a certain exgirlfriend's birthday.

She decidedly that she should probably call.

First, though, she spent her time at the counter today trying to think up excuses for why she hadn't called on the actual day.

[ooc: Open post!]

Cally had Nicky safely off at day care, while she herself was looking at yam recipes from behind the lobby desk.

Yes, yam recipes. It was approaching Thanksgiving, and she wanted to do something special. It was just about her favorite Earth holiday.

Christmas had really forever been ruined by the trauma of the pageant her first year at school.

She still was worried that Santa might secretly really be her former principal.

Cally was blissfully unaffected by the sex pollen. She was quite happy celibate and unattached, thank you very much island. Being a cylon frakker tended to take a lot out of your sex drive (though Phoebe and Bel would probably disagree).

Today she was camped out behind the lobby desk, Nicky safely off at day care and not in some terrible contraption of Cally's devising. She was playing spider solitaire on the laptop while a soundtrack of soft jazz echoed out from the speakers.

[ooc: Open post, the OCD has been sent to the cornfields.]
[identity profile] nomoreveruca.livejournal.com
In the further adventures of Cally being not exactly the most safety-minded parent, she'd developed a special toy to give Nicky a bit more mobility than the bouncy catapult chair.

Effectively, she'd put him in an inflatable, toddler-sized hamster ball and let him run loose in the loose. Or... as much as little Nicky could run.

She kept a close eye on him in between going through paperwork and reading her latest sparkly vampire novel. The events of Sunday had not curbed her terrible reading habits.

Today was a non-daycare day for Cally. She instead was behind the apartment building lobby counter, with a toddler secured into a little bouncy chair thing she'd rigged up herself.

It may or may not have looked dangerous.

Okay, it did. But Cally had tested it for safety, and Nicky was completely safe in that thing. He also, if the elastic straps were pulled back strongly enough, could be launched clear across the lobby.

Cally did not intend on that ever happening. It was just a by-product of her construction process.

If anyone needed assistance, she'd stop cooing over her child to help you.

Between Parents Weekend and unicorns, Cally had spent the last several days holed up back at her house on Apocalypse Ave with her baby boy.

Today, she dropped him off at daycare with a sad little wave and came into the apartment complex. After she made a pot of coffee, she settled in behind the desk to do paperwork and play Scrabble online.

That was totally work related. Honest.

If anyone needed the landlord, she was there behind the lobby counter/desk.

Cally had transplanted her sign from her house to the MCA front door today, with one small modification.

No Fish Evil Robots Allowed was proudly proclaimed. They didn't serve their kind, here.

Meanwhile, Cally was reading up on force field technology and not understanding a word of it. She was a mechanic-by-neccessity, not an engineer. She wasn't going to be pimping out her house with forcefields and laser cannons any time soon.

Even though she really, really wanted to.

Anyone stopping in the lobby today would see the landlady poring over technical manuals that were way beyond her comprehension. The diagrams were, though, something she found amazing. And kinda hot.

Cally fiddled with a computer at the front desk/counter.

Hey, it was hooked up to a network. Even if she'd used it to browse Cute Overload before didn't mean she trusted it. Computer networks lead to badness. So she was adding extra firewalls and virus scanners and was wondering if it was a bad idea to just keep a large hammer next to it just in case.

Like her own private insurance policy.

So, anyone stopping through the lobby today would definitely notice the slight cursing as Cally wrestled with what happened when you overloaded a computer with security programs.

Cally had way too much paperwork to catch up on, after the bugs. And when she was also tending to little Nicholas Tyrol in his makeshift playpen behind the desk all day, it meant she was in for some long, long hours. She'd probably be there well into the night.

Little Nicky didn't protest. He had a new stuffed panda toy to nom on/play with. It was adorable, in a completely unhygenic sort of way.

[ooc: OCD a-comin' up! Open post, woo.]
[identity profile] nomoreveruca.livejournal.com
Cally was not leaving Nicky with daycare this week. Possibly not for a month. Today the little tyke was getting read to as Cally held him in her lap.

Nicholas Tyrol, being a total attention hound, actually kind of loved how much his mother was doting on him this week.

So, if anyone passed by the desk/counter in the MCA lobby today, there was a mother and child behind said desk/counter. And they were being adorable.

[ooc: Open, the OCD got shot out an airlock.]

Cally's activit du jour was setting about plans for Nicky's birthday, since she'd now figured out exactly when it was, according to the Earth calendar. She had a little over two weeks. It'd be a small affair, probably not much beyond a few friends.

She wasn't the most social animal, these days. She was still guarding herself after all that had happened. And she didn't want to burden her friends with all that she'd gone through, either. It was rather a sad scenario. She didn't open up because she thought her friends wouldn't truly understand, and her friends didn't understand because she didn't open up.

But she was happy, at least happier than she was on the Galactica. Definitely happier than she was on New Caprica. Life was improving, things were looking up. She'd not even been bitten by a gremlin since coming back. That was definitely a good thing.

So, the landlady/super was behind the lobby counter/desk, in case anyone needed to rent a room or complain or chit-chat!

Today, Cally was attempting something knew. Something that she hoped would be productive during her long hours at the desk.

She was knitting. In her case, she was knitting what appeared to be little orange baby socks for little Nicholas Tyrol.

Hey, it kept her occupied and her mind sharp and happy.

The Landlord/Super was in at her counter desk, if anyone needed her!

[ooc: The OCD fell down a sinkhole. Open post!]
[identity profile] nomoreveruca.livejournal.com
Cally had set up shop behind the lobby counter/desk again, flipping through a catalog of toys for young children. It was going to be not too long before little Nicholas Tyrol turned one years of age. It wasn't going to be a big affair. He was going to be one after all. He'd not remember a thing. Which was a good thing, given all the crap the kid had gone through before he even was six months.

But she loved her little boy. On New Caprica, those days where she hated everything about her life and what it had become, she still had him (and she still had Galen, but she was blocking that from her mind). And on some of those New Caprican days, because of little Nicky, life seemed absolutely magical.

Today, though, she wondered what exactly she should get him. The boy had a fondness for crackers, playing with cellphones, and staring confusedly at strangers. Which made him hard to buy for.

She was having trouble deciding on a gift, yes. So any interruptions would be good before she bought the whole catalog.

Cally Tyrol (and really, the fact she was keeping the last name was somewhat telling) sat behind the lobby counter/desk doing something utterly silly.

In attempts to not repeat yesterday's bout of terribly sad thinking, she instead was using the desk computer to surf Cute Overload. A heavy dose of cute and saccharine made her feel like she was back in high school, really. Back to good old days, good old friends.

Ah, nostalgia. Everything looks a little bit shinier with nostalgia.

She was completely interruptible, of course.

Cally was really starting to weigh the pros and cons of building a play area in the office so she wouldn't have to drop Nicky off at daycare each morning. She'd hated leaving him with the sitter on Galactica, and this wasn't really any different. She kept worrying that she'd miss his first real steps, or when he finally made real words and not just mimicked 'no' at everything.

Cut for emo )

She quickly turned on a radio for some noise to distract her from her thoughts. They were all too confusing for her.

Cally would be really grateful for an interruption.

Getting Nicky used to the whole daycare thing was tricky, since Cally wasn't sticking to a set schedule of when she was actually available in the apartment builing lobby. She knew she had to work on that, for his sake. He wasn't exactly the happiest camper over there, or so she heard from the workers each time she picked him up after work.

She might just have to build some things here in the lobby, to keep him occupied and close, instead.

So the MCA landlady is behind the counter/desk, doodling idle blueprints (as much as you can call doodles blueprints) of various cribs and playpens. She'd happily talk to anyone who stopped by, of course.

[ooc: OCD free, open post!]
[identity profile] nomoreveruca.livejournal.com
While there was still a lot of mental flailing in regards to having so much more work responsibility, Cally was playing it cool today. On the desk/counter in the lobby was a small tray of chocolate cupcakes with various colors of frosting. Beside the tray was a little sign that read:
Stop By to Meet Your New Landlord
(cupcakes not made by management)


She sat in the chair (which was really getting more comfortable each day) and wondered if anyone would stop by.

Please pay no attention to the glances toward the phone when she thought about calling the local day care to check on Nicky. She was trying not to be that sort of mom.

[ooc: OCD free, moddable cupcakes, open post!]
[identity profile] nomoreveruca.livejournal.com
Anyone who stopped through the MCA Lobby that morning would hear quite the strange commotion from the little office. While sometimes Cally would pop out to the desk/counter area to see if people were around, mostly it was phrases like this that echoed out from office:

"What the frak does this even mean? ...sorry Nicky."

"I hate stupid paperwork with stupid right angle corners!"

"What do I even know about running an apartment building?"

She'd received a letter yesterday, delivered by a bearded man she'd never met. It was from her boss. She had been promoted to landlady while Miss Murray took an 'extended sabbatical' in England. The letter made it very clear that Cally was merely running the place, she did not own it. And everything was expected to be in good working order if Miss Murray were to return.

So that was why Cally was going over all the paperwork in the office, taking the occasional break to play with Nicky and make sure he was having a good Sunday as well.

Cally was absolutely antsy today, going about and tidying the MCA lobby even when everything was in its right place.

She'd left Nicky at the new daycare at the community center. And she was going out of her mind with worry. She'd done it before, long work days on the Galactica, but here it was different. Here, he was all she truly had left, and he meant so much to her.

She'd be grateful if someone stopped in, or a building emergency would happen to save her from her own mind.

Mina had received orders from the League. She was to report this weekend to Wales to investigate some disappearances in the area. Little else of note was included in the reports, just a list of the people who had disappeared.

Why this was a League matter confounded her. But she would report, nonetheless.

For now, however, she was tidying the lobby. Her new hire was performing satisfactorily, even if she did seem a little preoccupied. She would be trustworthy enough to watch over the apartments while she was on the mission. Hopefully it wouldn't be too long.

[ooc: OCD free, open post! This is, sadly, Mina's last MCA post. She'll have her final clinic post on Friday and then PLOT shall send her to expat-ness over weekend. Not that she knows this. But I'm actually home sick today, so I'm around for interaction!]

Cally was still riding the high of being back in Fandom. Her makeshift crib for Nicky now was more comfortable for the little tyke, and even had a few squishy soft toys in there for him to play with. For right now, he was thankfully snoozing for a nap, giving Cally a brief moment of relaxation behind the MCA lobby desk. She put her feet up, ready to snap them down if she heard her boss about.

She wouldn't mind visitors. In fact, she'd rather like them.

Cally didn't think it was too presumptuous to take down the help wanted sign in the window. She had every intention of giving Mina every penny's worth of this trial, and of her work beyond as well.

Nicky was kept in a travel crib that she'd placed behind the lobby desk, where Cally was now seated and making sure to spend equal time watching for tenants that needed assistance and making sure her child was taken care of.

She'd be happy to help anyone, because the more she helped the more likely she was to keep this job.

Mina's help-wanted sign was still up in the window. She herself had decided to rest in one of the comfy chair, reading a book about a so-called 'Secret'.

Mostly, she was finding the book was filled with nonsense and idiocy.

She sighed. Her life was so hard, here. Really.

Mina hung a sign in the front MCA window that evening.

Mina settled into the lobby today, still utterly curious about that wolf she'd encountered last week. With no new reports from The League, it was the foremost thing on her thoughts. Even sitting at her desk, doing needed paperwork, was not distracting her from the thought.

She'd seen many curious things before, from the grotesque to the amazing. While this was far from either spectrum, it still made her wonder. It could be the start of a good new bit of intelligence that she could send back to her superiors.

So if anyone needed her, there was a rather fidgety landlady behind the desk in the MCA Lobby.

Mina was doing some tidying in the MCA Lobby today. Paperwork was forgotten as she did the spring cleaning.

That was, until she found herself sitting backwards upon an unexpected equine.

That was the extent of her surprise. Mild annoyance.

Mina was staring at the report she'd received in the post today.

It was written by Rodney Griffin, about his discovery that an organization in France was being formed to be their own version of The League. It seemed there really was a Phantom, not just an alias adopted by James Moriarty.

She worried this meant she would need to be called back for a mission soon. While she would do her duty, of course, she preferred being an analyst in the future to a field agent in her own time.

But she was behind her lobby desk again, willing to help or speak with anyone that dropped by.

While most of the island had settled into its haze of melancholy from the loss of the children, Mina was actually enthused. Her quiet observations of the portal typed up and sent back to the League in a report, she felt as if she was actually doing her job for once. Obviously, she was unable to send any samples back from this odd occurrence (she was not a monster).

Today, she was a buzz with activity, going over reports that had been forwarded to her. This was why she had joined back with the league. So much knowledge to disseminate. You'd find her behind her lobby desk, if you wished to speak with her.

Mina was behind her desk in the MCA Lobby, reading the report she was sent from The League. It was Dr. Moreau's report on her 'sample' that she had shipped back via portal.

She could hear the disdain in every 'amateur' (of which there were many) and 'inferior' (of which there were many more). The madman's pride in his own work was rather sickening.

Eventually, she sat the report aside (the nitty-gritty details did not disgust her, they merely seemed to be information that would have better suited her when the monsters were still about) and went to her laptop where she had a game of of Spider Solitaire waiting.

Mina was finishing packing a large, heavy crate in the lobby that day. Please excuse the hammering noise. She'd gathered some... things to ship back to league.

She had to think that they'd probably get that sick Dr. Moreau to examine it. Hopefully it wouldn't give him ideas.

She had her sleeves rolled up on her high-collared white shirt, and was wearing pants today. She was apparently making strides again into breaking her Victorian mold.

She'd gladly help anyone who stopped in or a resident with needs. That was her job, after all.

Mina worked behind her lobby desk again today, this time on a new report for the League. Between her suspicions about Sergeant Angua, the recent gremlin invasion (and yes, she had secretly taken one and dissected it... for science!), and other events, she had a lot to report upon.

No, she did not report the escalating nature of her relationship with Nathan Algren. That was personal, not business. And on the personal note, she did keep glancing in a mirror (yes, she had a reflection), wondering if she should return her hair to its natural color. She rather missed the red.

She had a TV on, playing the Olympics in the background. But she'd be grateful to see any friends or speak with any tenants.

Mina was relieved that talk of vampires and general hysteria had died down. And also that none who knew her (increasingly poorly kept) secret had come to accuse her of anything.

The recent hub-bub made her simple filing and monotonous paperwork tasks seem a little pleasant. But she longed for something greater. A mission, perhaps. Travel somewhere exotic. Anything with a bit of true excitement.

It would help get her mind off the niggling feeling that had been back in her mind ever since she'd heard of the attack on radio. That one, demonic little thought, of just how good it tasted to feed off a living human being.

Mina busied herself with her work, behind the desk of the MCA lobby. Perhaps that would keep her in check, she hoped.

Mina had food and basic first aid supplies at her desk in the apartment building lobby today. She also had her knives handy in case any of the accursed creatures showed their beady little eyes.

She wasn't typically against creatures thought to be horrible. She was, after all, quite partial to bats. But these things... well, she normally hated the local type of gremlins. These new ones, she loathed with an undying passion.

Though, she chuckled to herself, pretty much all of her passion could be labeled as 'undying' now.

Mina was at the desk in the MCA lobby again, despite being completely caught up on her paperwork. Instead, today she was reading through the published accounts of Alan Quatermaine's journeys that she'd bought earlier in the week at Book Haven. She had read them before, but this time she was taking notes. Gaining insight on the man would help her better understand him and better work with him.

No ulterior motives at all. Really.

But, if you had any complaints about your apartment, wished to rent one, or just talk to Ms. Murray, she would happily set down her book for you.

Mina was behind the desk in the lobby again, ready to attend to any tenants or potential tenants.

Or anyone, really.

She was debating about putting up a suggestion box, for events that could be held to encourage mingling between the residents. It seemed like a good idea, encouraging a community bond. Just in case they needed to unite against a common foe or something similar.

However, that would require getting up and getting a box.

Right now, Mina was too busy playing on Facebook. Somewhere, Allan Quatermaine was shaking his head in disappointment, and he didn't know why.

Mina was behind the lobby desk today, making a sign for the window advertising the vacancies in the building. It was almost time for the new term. That meant new teachers on the island. Hopefully ones that didn't have loud parties or smashed walls.

She'd been watching too many American sitcoms in her off hours.

[ooc: Post is open! The info post is sorta updated via the friending list updates, she's not evicted anyone who hasn't quite left the island yet.

Mina had turned into a bit of a Scrooge, to be honest. Possibly because she was having trouble balancing the books, possibly because the island was so intent on forcing people to be festive, but mostly because she didn't bloody care about the whole thing anymore.

It was a celebration of birth and life, two things far from what occupied her days. She could not celebrate life when she was no longer amongst the living. Even tinsel falling from the sky could not shake her grumpy mood.

For now, she was seated behind the lobby desk of MCA, working on those unbalanced ledgers. She cursed under her breath as she did so, but she would deny it to anyone who asked about it.

She would be grateful for some pleasant distraction, of course.

She was with child, the child of her beloved Allan Quatermain. What hope would a half-vampire baby with a recently resurrected father who traipsed about Africa have in this world? What hope would she have, a single mother who was also a vampire and secretly a ninja assassin for the mafia.

Life always proved so difficult.

Mina was in behind the lobby desk late that day, trying not to think of the fact she was wearing an elf costume.

It was undignified, but not as undignified as some things she'd done and worn while gremlin bit.

She would definitely not report this to the League.

MCA Lobby, [10/22]

Mina Murray sat behind the lobby counter, reading a copy of... Cosmo.

She looked as if she was attempting to stare at an article until it burst into fire. Mina did not approve of such content in her magazines. At least, the ones she read in public.

Over the quiet week, she had moved her belongings down from apartment seven and into the much more spacious manager's suite in number zero. She'd even brought in some lab equipment so she could run some minor chemical experiments in her spare time.

This did, however, leave a vacancy in the building. So she left a sign on the door reading:

One vacant apartment.
Serious inquiries only.


She'd be glad to help any potential tenants, as well as any current ones or any friends who may stop by the lobby.

Mina had awoken that morning to a strange phone call from the bureaucrats behind the League. They even put Allan on the line, to prove their statements. And with Allan's endorsement, she had agreed to return as a member of the league, on the condition she be allowed to stay in Fandom for the majority of her time.

After the government types realized she would not be swayed from such an idea, they came to a compromise. She'd be allowed to stay if she continued her intelligence gathering. To expedite such things, they'd just made arrangements for her to manage the apartment building she lived in. Mina could hardly object to being given such an executive responsibility. She begrudgingly thanked them, and went about to start familiarizing herself with the office on the lobby floor. She had a lot of paperwork to go through. Oh, and she'd have to move her things from her apartment to the much more lavish apartment intended for the manager. That would be a priority as well.

So, anyone happening to enter the apartment building today would probably notice that there was stacks of paper over on the counter, and a blonde woman cursing every so often as she tried to understand what all of these files were for.

[ooc: Open post, of course. Details of Mina's phone conversation NFB, pretty please]

Well, now that the new furniture had come in and the lobby had gotten itself a facelift, Rachel could sigh appreciatively as she looked around at her creation and set to the task of not only appreciating it, but also maintaining it.

She was dusting. Sort of. Dusting in a fashion that mostly involved drifting around in nice clothes and brushing a ridiculous feather duster over things that weren't even old enough to have collect dust anyway. But it made her look like she was.

Mid-century modern, was what it was called, and that just tickled her, because what a perfect title for herself. The mid-century modern woman. She stopped a moment to relish in just being her for a moment before bouncing back to the task for keeping house. Well, keeping lobby, anyway.
