Oh god, why was it so hot? If there was one thing Matthew hated about summer it was the heat. He didn't mind the hot weather normally but now that they were halfway through July it was sweltering. He was sweating a storm and the humidity made everything feel sticky. He was glad Madame Maime's at least had air conditioning.

Walking into the store he couldn't help if a small smile spread on his face as the cool air brushed past him out the open door. He heard the familiar bell ring and the door close as he walked inside. Looking around he saw Sindre cleaning something up off the floor. When he got close he saw some of the charms on a rack had been knocked over and that a tray that appeared to have been previously filled with milk upside down, the milk in splotches and puddles around the world.

"Need any help?" he asked turning around and looking for a rag. He noticed Erin was nowhere to be seen, she must not have gotten in yet, her shift was now as well, wasn't it?

Today, so far, had not proved itself to be the best day out of the few months Erin has been back here in the states. The alarm clock wasnt working, or maybe she hit it in her sleep, her coffee felt like spilling all over her dress, Mudkip was acting up and wasnt eating his breakfast, and now she was going to be late for work.
Top it all off, her other dress made it feel even hotter than it was. This was a dress reserved for laundry days. That kind that was never to be worn outside the house. Not to say is was ugly, filthy, or whatnot. But that it was too plain, too old, and made in a style that made her look even more flat chested than she cared to admit.

Up ahead she saw Matt walk into the store. Seemed he was hating the weather as much as she. Few meters later and then some, Erin opened the door to what felt like heaven. Modern day technology never felt so good.

"Ah, hey guys," She greeted, noticing the boys were preoccupied with something on the floor.

Sindre nodded to Erin as she entered, then resumed cursing under his breath as he wiped up the milk. Wait, guys ( ... )

Here. Let me make this worse. puffin_magic July 25 2010, 15:20:38 UTC

Valdi didn't know it at the time, but he had definitely chosen the wrong day to check out his brother's work.
Class always finished early on Wednesdays, which also happened to be the day his two latest reads ran overdue at the Book Alley...and it was really, really hot.

Not at all used to the unforgiving weather, Valdi had initially taken refuge in the bookshop itself, and then the Coffee Shoppe next door. He'd then spent a good ten minutes loitering in front of the counter display like a starved puppy before awkwardly admitting that he'd left his money at home (or rather, didn't have any) and returning to his seat.

With no water and no change, the Icelander was mentally preparing himself to battle heat stroke on the long walk home when something caught his eye.
Madame Maime's Miracles. Didn't Sindre work there ( ... )

"So why was there mi-" Matt began to ask Sindre before he was interrupted by the man's question. Matt assumed Sindre was talking to him because, well, because Matt was the only one standing near him Why would he talk to thin air, that would just be silly. "What? No, that stuff was already knocked over when I got in here." he answered. He sort of thought Sindre would know that since Matt hadn't walked in the store until after the milk had been spilled but maybe he'd misunderstood. He looked at Sindre expecting an answer when a customer walked in.

Seeing as Erin was busy Matt went to go see if he could be of assistance. "Can I help you with anything?" ventured Matthew right before an entire shelf of incense got knocked over. Matt jumped, startled. The fuck?
