Lulu's smile was bright as she flipped the sign on Cafe Fina's door from 'Closed' to 'Open'. The last few days had been a flurry of handwavy activity as downstairs got some touch-ups -- and the upstairs apartment was completely renovated. She'd not yet moved her stuff over from the hotel, but otherwise the place was ready for anyone interested to ( Read more... )

Considering she'd gotten roped into 3MD without expecting it, Jaina was in a fairly decent mood when she took over her usual shift tonight. She wasn't looking forward to the cleanup that was probably going to happen later, and would be happy not experiencing further trauma, but for now, okay mood.

The two drinks earlier had helped there.

One would think Angua hadn't even been here long enough to already be frustrated; Angua herself would have like to have thought that she hadn't been here long enough to be frustrated. But there it was, anyway, staring her right in the face.

It was hard to think of what one should do after finding a younger, less experienced version of your boss ( Read more... )

It was a new day and there was no better way to start a new day than with the continuation of the carnival. There was still snow coating the ground but the atmosphere was as lively as ever. With cream-colored decorations and twinkling lights, the Student Council had aimed for a winter wonderland kind of theme, and the snow simply added to the ( Read more... )

During the night, Fandom had been covered in a blanket of fresh snow that was just thick enough to turn everything crisp and white. With cream-colored decorations and twinkling lights, the Student Council had aimed for a winter wonderland kind of theme, and the snow simply added to the effect. Thankfully, the day was turning out to be warmer, so ( Read more... )

Paige was beyond thrilled that the power and heat were back on in Fandom. However, the whole snowstorm/power outage had kept her from getting her lessons for tomorrow taken care of over the weekend, which was why she was at the coffee shop with a large cup of coffee, surrounded by books and papers ( Read more... )

Once Jaina had confirmed that Caritas did in fact have power (Seriously, Fandom? Town hall apparently didn't have power but thae bar did? Guess we know where priorities lie.), she set out to work super early with what supplies she could get to bring with her. Once she got there, she started setting up, figuring that it was either going to be very ( Read more... )

After the chaos of Saturday and spending yesterday and today moving all of her belongings from San Francisco to Fandom, Paige was ready to unwind.

The coffee shop looked inviting and she was one of those people who could drink caffeine at night without any issues. She ordered a large caramel macchiato and settled in to people-watch.

Lucas gave the sales floor one last glance before nodding to the members of Marc and opening up the shop for the first time.

In honor of the occasion which to be honest, Lucas didn't expect THAT many people to attend, after all, what with the excitement of the snow monster attack, they'd only had one day to advertize, and no newsprogram to take ( Read more... )

The good thing about being part whitelighter is you can orb places, which pretty much meant the storm and snow wasn't bothering her much, she orbs just outside the shop (since she's not rude enough to orb straight in, since the boss might be busy) then walks in shivering, even being outside for a few moments is enough to make anyone cold today it ( Read more... )
