Fandom Island and Town

Henry David Thoreau once wrote: Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit and resign yourself to the influences of each.

Lucas clicked his phone shut and palmed it in his hand as he walked through the park, thinking about the plans he'd just made to visit his mom.

The day was remarkably nice, if windy, so Lucas took up a spot on a bench to people watch with a new novel.

[open like a park]

Note: The role of Lucas Scott will now be played by Joshua Jackson.

Lucas was having a crisis. He found himself torn between the girls he'd loved for so long and the new, hot stud who he could see really having some enjoyable sex with. And then the guy's ex had punched him at the school dance. Naturally this called for a really good brooding session at the local coffee shop.

"Cuppa joe, please," he flashed a winning smile at the kid behind the counter and took his seat, booting up his laptop to check the highlights of things going on back in Tree Hill. "Oh this is an interesting story," he murmured to himself. "Seems my father killed my uncle in a tragic high school shoot out that was caused by the trickle effect of me getting on the Varsity basketball team last year. And my best friend and half-brother got remarried during senior year after a rocky summer divorce but then tragically are torn apart when their limo crashes on a bridge and my brother jumps in the river to save his uncle who looks like Anders. Damn, that's harsh. Meanwhile my mother, ex-girlfriend, and best friend are all having a pregnancy scare but we don't know whose stick it is. Jesus, I need to call home more!"

Lucas had to laugh, he missed so much. But really, thank god Lucas hadn't been in Tree Hill. Another pregnancy scare was the last thing his emo needed. It was full up with this potential sex with dudes thing.

[OPEN POST! Thank you S3 of OTH for providing more soapy stories than I could even make up]

Some days, Lucas hated his job. For example today when he spent the first hour at work cleaning up a fluke oil spill on the racetrack.

He leaned heavily on the counter afterwords, covered in grime from slipping in the mess and failing to have brought a change of clothes for himself.

Oil had a distinct smell. And so did Lucas today.

Wonders of the World Mini Golf and Go Karts was open for business. And for Professor Petrelli's class.

Lucas had been a little wary about heading into work. After what happened last week, he'd hidden himself away in his room, and then his alcove, trying to think things through.

Back behind the ticket counter, hiding behind a book, Lucas wondered what he'd do if Kevin stopped by again this week. He'd resolved that nothing was ever going to happen between them, but he'd never had to test his resolve in that department before.

Despite the amount of emo going around, Wonders was open for business.

Lucas was not a pirate and yet.

"Ahoy, what the hell is wrong with me speech? Aye."

He looked around, not finding any hidden midget pirates and shrugged, moving off to hide himself amongst the go karts in need of repair.

Lucas was glad to get back into the swing of things by showing for work. He'd spent yesterday calling home and explaining how he'd ended up in yet another coma to his mom. She was surprisingly understanding under the caveat that he visit soon.

Wonders had seen a lot of kids the previous day, so Lucas walked the course, making sure everything was in good condition before setting up behind the counter with his favorite ball polisher.

Wonders of the World Mini Golf and Go Karts was open for business!

While Lucas doubted that anyone would want to visit these fake Wonders of the World when they could actually go off island and see volcanoes, he still had a job to do.

And so, there he was, polishing the putters and buffing the balls while he stood at the counter, hoping for some kind of entertainment.

And wondering what that smell was. Huh.

[WOTW is OPEN!]

It was a new month and nearing the start of a new semester so Lucas was discovering he had a new mission at Wonders of the World Mini Golf and Go Karts. Namely making grass grow.

There was a patch along the edge of the Golden Gate Bridge that just would not grow. Lucas set to work cutting a perfectly-sized piece of sod to fill the hole.

So what if the grass breed was slightly off.

WotW was open.

[world's gonna end but I dun ca-are!]

It was a nice enough day that Lucas and Jamie had gotten yet another set of double scoops and decided to walk through the park.

"Uncle Luke, can I feed the ducks my cone?" Jamie asked, face messy with chocolate, as they walked toward the lake.

Lucas didn't see any harm in stopping. "Sure thing, kiddo." He hadn't heard anything harmful about the ducks, and that was saying something in Fandom.

[Open!]

Lucas had ditched out of work for a couple of days. He actually felt guilty about it, so he kept himself busy working on the go karts.

He wondered if Ms. Stayton would appreciate it if he gave them a paint job.

She did seem to be fond of red and pink...

[NO OCD FOR YOU! *ends the world*]

Lucas enjoyed his job. He worked extra hard knowing that Ms. Stayton had gone out of her way to help him. It helped that he got to tinker with the go karts and see the tricks of the mini golf traps all while having plenty of free time.

Today he spent his time making some phone calls. Oddly, he couldn't get in touch with Nathan or Haley, but Lucas was pleased to find his mother at the cafe. He wasn't as happy with her news.

"What do you mean you gave my room to Brooke?" That was a question Lucas never thought he'd have to ask his mother.

Wonders of the World Mini Golf and Go Karts was open!

[ooc: will the world end?]

Lucas hated daylight savings. It had stolen a precious hour of sleep from him, and despite knowing he really hadn't done much over the weekend, his body deemed sleep was to continue longer and was rebelling against him in exhaustion.

And yet, here Lucas was, opening Wonders on time, his head resting tiredly on the counter.

He'd get up in a minute and do some work. Really.

Wonders of the World Mini Golf and Go Karts was open.

When Lucas arrived at work and settled in the ticket booth, he was surprised to find a box with his name on it sitting on top of the counter.

He stowed the box in his bag, deciding he could wait to open it until he got back to his room. Lucas had a lot of work to do. It was spring break, and there was sure to be a bunch of kids wanting to drive some souped-up go karts at high speeds while they didn't have to study.

[ooooooooooopen!]

For his first day as the Head Mechanic of Wonders of the World Mini Golf and Go Karts, Lucas spent the morning inspecting all the holes for any potential maintenance problems.

Since he'd actually performed said maintenance last week, his task really took about fifteen minutes. Meaning he was there, chilling by the ticket booth, hoping for something to break.

[OPEN FOR BIDNESS]

After spending some time doing routine maintenance on the pyramids, Lucas settled behind the counter. Feeling a little bored, he started rummaging through to see what he could find to entertain him since he'd forgotten his book. He located blood red nail polish, an old copy of In Style magazine, and some sort of thong that he prayed had not been worn. Especially not by Andrew.

[ooc: OPEN FOR BIDNESS]

Andrew was there again on a Thursday, mostly making sure the thuggish boy wasn't stealing from the till. He wasn't pleased to be taken from his normal duties. Today Andrew had managed to convince the boy that washing and sorting golf balls was a pleasurable activity.

Meanwhile, Lucas had no idea why the butler was there or staring at him. It wasn't like they were overrun with customers and needed the extra help. As he worked, he tried to ignore Andrew by bopping along with some Jimmy Eat World on his i-Pod.

[Open! Does minimal OCD end the world?]
