Working wasn't bad. River could sit completely still behind the desk for an hour at least and observe the flowers neatly arranged in a vase, exploring every detail. She could also talk to the guests and to other staff when necessary.

Gunther had asked her to put up the following sign:

Gunther should really be heading down to the clinic to see how Mary was doing or calling the Delines and giving them an update. Instead, he was avoiding both tasks and cooking.

Give Gunther some credit. He eventually caught onto the fact that Mary was missing -- somewhere around Sunday morning, long after she went off on her own and ended up in the clinic.

The streets of Fandom had seen better days. While some of the dinosaurs slept, the scavengers and pack hunters had spent the night chasing whatever was in the street and harassing residents who were safely tucked away in barricaded buildings ( Read more... )

Gunther seemed like he was over Wolfgang's marriage, so Mary thanked her lucky stars. She did keep him at arms length in case he tried to grope her again because she didn't need that. She was already expecting Barney Stinson to drop by today and she had a feeling she'd also have to avoid being groped by him.

At least today was River's first day. ( Read more... )

Hades had the microphone and spoke to the students that were around. "Since classes are a little light on Wednesdays and we don't want you charming little citizens of the future running around manic like you usually do, there's gonna be a thing on Wednesday afternoons. Today involves as little effort from me as possible ( Read more... )

There was nothing like swimming to clear your mind. After breakfast and feeding Berthold, River had left her room, which felt quite empty without a Buffy in it, and walked down to the beach.

With all the new students arriving in Fandom, Mary thought it was time she stepped up her efforts to hire some extra staff to help out with the grand opening. Armed with her clipboard, she was camped out at the front desk waiting for applicants. They didn't have any food set up today, but there was still plenty of birthday cake if anyone asked.

Gabriel  was in a surprisingly good mood, and it couldn't be due to the weather, as he rarely cared much about it. Unless it rained and his clothes got wet, that was another trying part of being human. Anyway, he couldn't define a cause for this slightly disturbing positive attitude, and even considered a walk round the island during some point ( Read more... )
