Magic Box, Thursday, 2/18

Three days until the Bahamas.

... yep, that was about all Tara had today.

She cleaned the store cheerfully before settling behind the counter with a book about charms, ready to help anyone who wandered in.

[OOC: All out of creative. Send booze? Open shop, anyhow!]

Well, someone was wandering in, but she didn't need help, strictly speaking. Three more days until the Bahamas, plenty of women's Olympic events on the TV schedule, and finally getting adjusted to a decent sleep schedule meant Kennedy was back to her usual energetic and cheerful self today.

But she'd still brought coffee and chocolate croissants.

"So I'm thinking of taking up snowboarding," she announced as she came in. "I could totally rock the halfpipe. What d'you think?"

Oh, she wished. As if she had the time to spare.

"I think you would be really hot doing that," Tara informed her, grinning. "It's fun to watch. That guy who looks like Carrot Top always seems so happy, y'know? And you wouldn't have to wear anything with sequins."

She leaned forward. "And hi."

[brat_inslayage]

"Big no on the sequins. But I could put cool designs on my helmet, and listen to music while I'm riding, and they'd show you on camera in the crowd reaction shots..." It was a really, really enticing idea for all that it was probably never going to happen. Kennedy set the coffee down and leaned across the counter. "And I'd totally kiss you on TV in front of everybody when I was done."

And probably bitch out someone at the network if they cut to commercial instead, which was neither here nor there since she was more intent on demonstrating.

Tara leaned into the kiss easily. "And then at the medals ceremony your eyes would get all misty when they started playing the national anthem," she contributed, easily going with the fantasy. "And people would write blogs about how cute you were and how cool it was that you were out."

So, y'know, Kennedy should get right on that in her copious free time.

Diana realized that she hadn't actually been out much in recent times and showed up in the Magic Box, cat in arms. "Bahamas?"

[life_inshadow]

"Sunday," Tara grinned. "Hi, Samuel. Are you going too?"

[oops_mbad]

"Packed already?" Diana asked cheerfully, setting the cat down on the counter.

"Of course, someone has to keep an eye on her." Samuel's words were undermined by the fact that in his attempt to sniff at something on counter ended with him on the floor.

"Yeah, that." Diana said with an eye roll.

"Doing it tonight if I don't end up watching the Olympics," Tara said, shaking her head. "And wow, Sam, I can tell you're an awesome guardian."

Sarcastic? Her?
