While she was no closer to understanding the draw of imperfect representations of yet more imperfect objects, Myria studying the paintings. It was like a word on the tip of her tongue, a sensation that was confusing and distressing.

Glands again, no doubt.

Being human, she surmised, was something like slowly losing your sense of self. When you'd never really had one to begin with.

The gallery was open for business, of course.
[identity profile] legion-we-are.livejournal.com
The so called 'art' that filled the gallery made very little sense to the one dubbed Myria LeJean. In the same way it wouldn't make much sense to a twig. Although a twig would be slightly less pointedly disinterested.

On account of having no higher cognitive functions.

She tilted her head, finding that the body preferred this gesture when looking at the paintings they had placed on the walls. Though it didn't help figure out a half a figgin* of the appeal.



*A whole figgin being far too much.

Medusalith was bored. Bored, bored, bored. Even the human art couldn't distract her today.

So if she was experimenting with her hair and not setting off the security devices...well. Who could blame her? She'd turn them off before anyone else came in, obviously.

The gallery? Open.

There were rose petals all over everything.

Medusalith approved. It was like some sort of grand event where they were showered with flowers and praise, only it was the whole town and no one had praised her yet. They should get on fixing that. In the meantime, she would be here, cleaning the petals off the art.

The gallery was open.

((Monday, Monday, can't trust that day.))

Medusalith's head hurt this morning. She blamed the 'music' last night, unaware that the pink things were probably more responsible. She didn't particularly care, though, because she'd gotten to spend her birthday with Blackagar, so really, all was positively golden in her view.

The gallery and all of its lovely things is open for your perusal.

Medusalith was relieved that all the students had returned to the island. For someone from a closed environment like Attilan, the notion that everyone could just take off for a while had been very odd indeed. It was nice, then, to be settling back into her regular schedule, which included that oh-so-human concept of 'a job.' She arranged everything appropriately in the gallery and settled behind the desk, avoiding cleaning. She was a princess, after all. Standards had to be maintained where possible, and she was sure she would have to clean something soon enough.

The gallery is open.

Medusalith was at the gallery on Monday, wondering what the deal was with this festival everyone seemed to be celebrating. Perhaps she should ask someone, she thought, and then discarded the idea. Although she had noticed that gifts were involved. Was she expected to give Blackagar a gift? She had no idea.

The gallery is open for all your last-minute shopping needs.

Medusalith was in an actual good mood today. She'd rescued Blackagar, that bog thing was gone, everything was back to normal. And hopefully no giant dogs would be invading the gallery with more bad news.

...she was probably going to have to explain a few things to Ms. Devereaux, wasn't she? Oh, dear.

At any rate, the gallery? Open. Perhaps you'd like to buy some art for someone for Christmas and/or the winter holiday of your choice?

Medusalith hadn't listened to the radio last night. If she had, she would have been out searching the island with a fine-toothed comb, not sitting in an art gallery contemplating whether that statue would be shown to better effect over by that painting. So she started the day perfectly calm, maybe even a little bored, but mostly in a good mood.

That would change.

Until that point, however, the gallery was open.

Sophie had been distracted the last couple weeks by preparations for the play; but now that most of the work on the scenery was done, she was back to working out the next exhibit.

As well as planning her trip to Boston for Christmas.

"...no, you don't have to pick me up at the airport... I can take cab... well, a limousine... what do you mean why? Why does anyone need one?..."

Hot cider, tea, and coffee were on the sideboard, and Fourth Dimension was open.

[and ocd-free! *waves hands* You saw nothing!]

Sophie had found this week mildly maddening; she'd been sleeping at the mainland three nights out of five, just to feel normal. She was hoping rather strongly that this ridiculous hormonal week would be over soon.

All the art in the gallery was abstract Mondrians. And Jackson Pollock impressions. Impossible to find an innuendo in it.

Fourth Dimension is open, and there's tea and cider on the sideboard.

Medusalith was in a mood. The sort of mood that, back in Attilan, would have resulted in everyone treading very cautiously around her and her mother suggesting that perhaps she should go visit Blackagar, the subtext being 'before you start tossing breakables and/or make a servant cry.' She suspected it was attributable to the amount of kissing that had happened recently, and her realization that if she wanted things to happen without horrible death and property damage, she might have to resign herself to losing the use of her hair for the duration. That was just depressing. She'd sooner cut off an arm. On the other hand...well, yes. On the other hand.

This was a problem that would require some thought.

She was in no state of mind whatsoever to think about art, and her hair was kind of...unfortunately twitchy, but she was here.

Medusa had had actual snakes for hair the other day. They were decidedly not all they were cracked up to be, but luckily, no one seemed to have been turned to stone. So she was here in the gallery, and after tending to her usual duties, she would be over here petting her hair.

Don't judge. You would, too, if you had her hair.

The gallery? Open.

Alumni were on the island, so Sophie had the gallery open, hoping for a possible sale or two, and sketching out make-up designs for the play this week.

There was coffee, tea, and cider on the sideboard.

Medusalith had woken up this morning still sans her lady parts and most of her hair. The penis was not an adequate substitution. Still, she had responsibilities to fulfill, so she was at the gallery. Hiding behind what was left of her hair and sulking, but at the gallery.

There was a no doubt charming new display, which Medusalith would care about more when the universe saw fit to give her her hair back. The gallery was open.
[identity profile] magdaofslovenia.livejournal.com
Sophie was considering ideas for the set designs, as well as the make up for the play, while re-hanging a few paintings to give her inspiration.

She was also contemplating a trip to Boston soon, to see how everyone was doing. Tara really hadn't been forthcoming lately.

The gallery was open, there was tea and cider on the sideboard, and Tchaikovsky playing in the background.

Well, her sister was gone, and not a moment too soon. Medusa had managed to track her down before she left the island, but her righteous anger had melted upon seeing a member of her family who wasn't Maximus, and she'd wound up hugging Crystal until she squeaked and telling her not to worry her so much.

She hadn't heard Saturday night's radio broadcast at that point, no.

Now, Crystal was gone, and so were Medusa's blue shoes. That girl.

At least Maximus was gone, too. She was sure Blackagar had enjoyed seeing his brother but, well. Something about the way Maximus looked at her made her uncomfortable, sometimes.

The gallery was open.

Medusalith was at work. And bored. Normally, she would take this time to work on something like learning to knit with her hair, but the blasted security cameras ruled out that option. So she was fussing with straightening the paintings and investigating the closet of cleaning supplies. She spent a good fifteen minutes trying to figure out what the vacuum cleaner was and how it worked, and finally just stuck it back in the closet, none the wiser.

The gallery was open.

Medusalith still didn't really get the whole 'art for money' thing she'd gotten herself into, but she had to say that being surrounded by beautiful things all day was a far, far better prospect than tracking down Lockjaw and giving him the bath she was quite sure he desperately needed after that thing with the fish on Friday. She'd wisely stayed in, as she had no desire to try to scrub fish out of her hair. Lockjaw, on the other hand, didn't know the meaning of 'wise.'

He probably wasn't even on the island, which would complicate matters immensely. Perhaps she could get away with pretending she'd thought the whole thing was Blackagar's problem. Probably not, though.

So, really, on the whole she was absolutely thrilled to be at work today, and the gallery was open.

Medusalith had a job. For money. Selling art to humans--no, people. Some of them might not be human.

Though her English was somehow impeccable, there were still several concepts going on here that were completely alien to her. Punctuality, though, she understood perfectly, so Monday found her at the gallery, attempting to wrap her head around the rest of it. She kept falling into a sort of vicious cycle where she got so absorbed in trying to figure out the cash register machine thing that she forgot to keep her hair still and it began moving in little distracted tendrils, some of which experimentally pecked at the keys. When she realized what was happening, she would stop it, but when she focused to quiet her hair she forgot everything she'd just learned.

This could be problematic.

The gallery was open.

Sophie was considering her next exhibition, Portals. Of many different kinds. Maybe even hanging some so that they looked like doors you could walk through...?

There was iced tea and lemonade on the sideboard; and a small plate of cookies.

Also, a Now Hiring: Inquire Within sign was hung inside the front window.

[OCD is pricing objets d'art at Sotheby's.]

Oh, really. It was just too sad. Sophie was convinced she could put together a much better reality show about rising young art stars than Gallery HD had apparently managed. Which wasn't to say she wouldn't watch; but she'd be watching with thoughts of re-working the premise entirely in mind.

Today, though, there were miniatures and cameos on display. Tiny pretty things today. Hopefully none of them would go missing.

There was cider, tea, coffee and icy lemonade on the sideboard, and sugar cookies.

Tara had contacted Sophie this week; and she was beginning to have a Very Bad Feeling about how deep Nate seemed to be getting himself into their current schemes. Something might have to be Done about that.

For today there were watercolors in various styles, and jewels. Lots of them. Locked down.

[open and back around 7pmEST]

Sophie was re-arranging the gemstone statues which had been present in the gallery for the last two weeks, considering what the next exhibit would be, and reading one particular article on the internet:

Who Really Owns the World's Largest Emerald?

Hmmmm.

There was lemonade, tea, and coffee on the sideboard. And a sign on the door: Help Wanted.

Karla Mistress Mayhem silently passed through the walls of the gallery, wrapped in sight and sound shields so no hint of her presence could be detected. She stepped carefully on air, hovering several inches above the floor where, no doubt, Sophie had installed pressure plates to protect her gallery. Cameras roved back and forth, but couldn't pierce the veil of her Craft.

Sneak sneak sneak sneak sneeeeeeeeeeeak sneaksneaksneak

The best thing about aural shields? No one could hear you humming to yourself.

The gallery was like being inside a treasure chest. Beautiful gemstone carvings sat on marble pedestals, just waiting to be approached and admired. Beams of light crisscrossed all around each pedestal, but Mistress Mayhem passed through each without fear--her shields wouldn't trigger them.

After a moment of thought, she decided that five carvings would be enough--she only had a small backpack, after all, and it wouldn't do to be greedy. A small shield around each protected them from harm--though she'd vanish the backpack if any real danger threatened--and she swiftly chose the five loveliest pieces to take with her. In each place she left a small bag of rocks from the beach.

And then she was gone, then entire process taking maybe ten minutes. Not a pressure plate had been pressed, a laser interrupted, or a trace left behind.

She slipped out of the building, dropping the shields as she did so, exulting in her daring plan.

Unfortunately for her, Mistress Mayhem was unaware of two things. First, Sophie had installed heat sensors on all of the pedestals, so if anyone got too close, they'd trigger a silent alarm in the Fandom Trooper Station.

And second, she was being followed by two shadows, neither of whom intended to let her keep her prizes.

Sophie was still restlessly considering a trip somewhere; maybe a job. All of the students graduating, and Geoffrey's return, had her considering her options. Scanning the internet for ideas. In the meantime, Fourth Dimension's current exhibit satisfied her need for something unique: gemstone statues by Vasily Konovalenko, Helen Serras-Herman, and George Dapsevicius.

Perfect.

There was lemonade and tea on the sideboard, as well as coffee.

Jill opened up the gallery and went about her routine setting things up, doing some mild cleaning, and getting the sideboard ready, while trying really hard not to think about how soon she wouldn't be doing this any more at all. She was going to graduate from high school, holy cow!

Jill thought she'd done pretty well on her first final, and while her other one wasn't until Friday and she had no idea what form it might take, after she set up the drinks on the sideboard and saw to her other duties, she spent her shift at the art gallery studying the hell out of her notes. You could never be too prepared, after all!

The gallery was open.

Jill was freaking out today at the gallery.

This freakout had absolutely nothing to do with the art, or with her role in taking care of and selling the art. Rather, the freakout had to do with how her job was taking away from valuable time she could be spending finding a prom date dear God it was week of how had she let this happen?

She had a dress. She had cute shoes. She had even figured out how to do something decent with her hair. She just...needed to procure a guy before Friday, and pray Jack didn't steal her prom again. Eek.

Concentrating on Danielle's request for new art for her home was a good distraction from Geoffrey's whereabouts. Or rather, lack of them. Sophie had finally heard from him and had nice little conversation. Nice in that there had been no yelling. Just utter frustration and exasperation at his inability to say when he'd be able to return, trying to avoid creditors. And steadfastly rejecting her offers of help. Impossible man.

And if she was also looking at that gigantic emerald at the Smithsonian with rather more intent than usual, well, hobbies were always important, weren't they?

Jill was in a great mood on Tuesday. In fact, as she went about her usual tasks at the gallery, she was humming. The crazy was over! Nothing too terrible seemed to have happened! Jack hadn't done anything stupid and boyish like try to wrestle a dinosaur while he was cycled in! Yes, life was good, and the gallery was open.

The Sleep exhibition was selling well to the tourists, but Sophie was distracted, because first, Tara had contacted her about how the team was doing, and she was a bit... unsettled, by Tara's interactions with Nate. Really. She'd been trying to find them a fifth partner, not a dating service.

And second, she had yet to hear from Geoffrey, after five days.

There was coffee, tea, and lemonade on the sidebar, as well as cookies. Fourth Dimension was open.

The exhibit this week was now all about Sleep: dream worlds, dream images, tiredness, hypnosis, sleep concerts, and anything related to sleep.

Which was a nice distraction from wondering where on Earth Geoffrey was, and what was going on with him.

Jill had ventured out on Saturday morning long enough to realize people had gone cray-cray again, but not in one of the more likely-to-be-dangerous ways, then spent her weekend holed up in her room with her laptop and Cup Noodles, researching prom dresses and IMing Ramie about whether or not she'd been serious about designing Jill's dress, because Jill was nothing if not single-minded, in between pirating episodes of Be Good Johnny Weir.

Look, over a certain level of weird, Jill defaulted to 'be as normal as possible until it goes away.' Fear her leet powers of denial.

The comic book art was still up on the walls. Comic books weren't really Jill's thing, but she could still admit some of it was pretty cool. The gallery was open.
[identity profile] magdaofslovenia.livejournal.com
Apparently the island was being odd, again. But this time Sophie had managed not to be effected, so she was opening the art gallery anyway, and sitting back to be amused if anyone she knew stopped by.

She also had comic book art up on the walls, from multiple sources, including superheroes to The Endless to Visitors in Eden.

It seemed appropriate.

[gallery is open and OCD-free!]

Sophie had finally tracked down someone she trusted to work with the crew in Boston while she was gone; Tara had wanted to come back to the States, and owed her a favor, so everything just rather... coalesced, into a perfect coincidence of potential. Now she could relax for a few months, at least, secure in knowing the team was in good hands.

Despite how often Nate was still calling.

The display of islands, plus the strong possibility that next week's rehearsal would be very brief, had all but convinced her that a little trip was definitely in order.

"Two tickets to Dubai, please."

As Jill opened up the gallery on Tuesday, she admired the islands exhibit. Oh, to be on an island right now--well, technically she was, but she was thinking, like, tropical. Possibly with drinks with little umbrellas.

As far as Jill was concerned, Spring Break could not get here soon enough. For now, she would set up the sideboard, then sit behind the desk and daydream about warm beaches. Fourth Dimension was open.

Jill had forgotten to set her alarm, so she overslept and had to make a mad dash for the shop. It didn't matter, really. She was still late. She hoped no one would notice.

The gallery was open. Art would make a lovely Valentine's Day present, don't you think?

This week's exhibit of islands were mostly warmer-looking than Fandom. Sophie was longing for her little islet near Dubai, and seriously considering leaving town for a bit, possibly dragging Geoffrey with her. How long had he been here, anyway?

Cocoa, tea, and coffee were on the sideboard, plus a selection of J,GoB cookies.

Okay, so the gallery was...kind of a wreck after Certain Events of this weekend, which, Jill was so not cut out for that kind of thing. She bet Jack would have loved it. But. Gallery. Wrecked. That just meant cleaning! Lots and lots of cleaning. And cleaning, Jill could totally do. Someone had obviously already done some sorting, but she wasn't sure what to do about any damaged art that was left, so she just left it where it was.

Any art that remained intact was on the walls, Jill was hard at work, and the gallery was open.

The exhibit of angels and fallen angels is still up and looking splendid. Sophie has other reasons to be dismayed.

Cider, cocoa, coffee and tea are on the sideboard, and the gallery is open.

On a whim, and knowing Castiel liked human art, Sophie was now working on a presentation of art representing angels. Some of it more representative than others; she rather liked the graveyard piece. Possibly because it reminded her of her funeral the week before. And a few fallen angels too.

"Parker, no, you don't have to ... let the diamond speak for you," Sophie was saying into the phone as she hung up another piece. "Don't push it so hard. The stone will do all the work. Have the confidence of the jewel. Yes. Yes. I will. All right. Be careful, won't you? And say hello to the others... just not Nate."

Fourth Dimension was open, with refreshments on the sideboard.

Jill arrived at Fourth Dimension promptly on Tuesday, checked everything over to make sure that the weekend of frozenness hadn't detrimentally effected the art somehow. No, she didn't know how it could have, but for all she knew it might! Then she set up the hot drinks on the sideboard, because God knew they could use them, thought about doing a spot of cleaning, then decided to leave the cleaning for later in the day when she got bored. She turned the radio on, picking a jazz station because that seemed art gallery-ish, and sat down at the computer to start a new powerpoint presentation. This one was on the merit of asking a boy to the prom vs. maneuvering him into asking her.

Hey, you have your obsessions and Jill has hers. Don't judge. Fourth Dimension was open.

Jill opened up the gallery on Tuesday and noted that someone else seemed to have been here. Yay, she hadn't been abandoned! She checked out the new exhibit and set up the drinks and things on the sideboard.

Once everything looked good, she sat down at the desk to play spider solitaire. Her life was so thrilling. Fourth Dimension was open.
[identity profile] magdaofslovenia.livejournal.com
After three weeks away, Sophie was rather pleased at how well Jill had been doing in her absence; no errors in the inventory or register, and no egregious difficulties with the displays, either. Time to put up something new: photos of interstellar explosions. Therapy through overexposure to art, yes.

There was hot chocolate, coffee and tea on the sideboard, and the gallery was open.

Jill was kind of in a mood today, after waking up to a note about how Jack made out with Ramie on New Year's Day and that was cool, right? And she'd missed her first Japanese Culture class. Stupid cycle. Whatever. She needed a distraction, and she knew just the thing.

The drinks were on the sideboard, the art was on the walls, and Jill was making a powerpoint presentation on how to get a prom date and shopping for dresses. It was never too early to get started!

When Jill got to work on Tuesday, she decided it was worth giving the radio another try and turned it on as she went about her opening-up chores, giving the glass sculptures a careful dusting and then a wide berth as she set up the drinks on the sideboard.

Then she realized that yes, Feliz Navidad was still playing, and went to shut off the radio with a an unhappy sigh. She didn't want to go crazy before the end of the day, after all.
[identity profile] magdaofslovenia.livejournal.com
Sophie had received an e-mail from Hardison that had her... concerned.

Nate sober. In Boston. Working alone! He is going to get his stupid self beat down any day here, is what I'm saying. Ideas?

Oh yes. Many, many, many of them.

The gallery was open, and the display of photography had shifted to include glass sculptures.

Fourth Dimension was open.
