Fandom Island and Town

After making sure the front office was neat and tidy, and giving Bruiser fresh food and water, Elle sat behind the desk and prepared herself for her day at work. Like every Monday, it shouldn't be difficult. Perhaps a cup of tea to begin her morning with would help with the last pesty residuals of sleepiness. Yes, she totally believed it.


The office is open.

Elle was studiously at work, sitting all perky like behind her very neat desk. She tidied just a tad, watered plants, and made sure Bruiser was comfortable with his tiny doggy dishes and teeny bed. He was so cute in his white collar and black tie. Everyone should have a little pet to love and dress up; they just made everything better.

With nothing important to work on at the moment, she decided to browse the internet. Alex said ordering people about and having them order you about, was fun. Or could be. Elle was more than skeptical but began to search for the specifics of ordering people around. Her first query proved fruitless as she was seeing nothing but learning how to influence people.

This challenge was going to take serious concentration if she was to give Alex an answer by Friday. But she was considering the possibility that he wouldn't remember anyway or even care. She didn't think she made much of an impression on him. Which totally sucked and that thought only caused a pout.

Boys were difficult.

This entire last week -- what with the homesickness, friends falling asleep and not waking up until days later, too much confusion -- it all affected Elle's positive happy-go-lucky charm in a rather negative fashion. She did hope that today was the beginning of a better week. She desperately needed to go shopping and no, she wasn't concentrating on that while at work, it was a thought that contributed to many. It was important, that's all. As many things were. And it was super fun.

She leafed through notes she'd jotted down last Monday. More empty pages, honestly. She really hoped someone needed legal services today. She was just the girl for the job. Totally. Making herself useful, she grabbed a law dictionary and started to read.
