[Nov. 19th, 2009|06:08 pm] |
WHO: Fiona Glenanne and Riordan Byrne
WHAT: Drinks and conversation
WHERE: The Sign of the Weasel
WHEN: Soon after Fiona's arrival
WARNINGS: Language, likely.
A lovely little shop with thick walls and patrons who tend to go curiously deaf in the vicinity of private affairs, he'd said. The description reminded Fiona of certain pubs she'd known in Dublin. Pubs that catered to Provos or tolerated them. Or some other splinter group of the lads. Who was had said that the first item on any Irish agenda was "split"?
As she'd been warned in that painfully bright website, Fiona had found a wallet in her purse with a few pound notes and a British Airways American Express card. Dear God, if I've replaced a flight attendant, I'll need to buy some teeth-kicking heels, and then find someone who deserves to see the soles up close and personal, Fiona thinks. More prudently and immediately, however, she uses the spoils to buy a brimmed hat and a carefully chosen set of cosmetics, suitable for any quick disguise she might need. Just in case.
Back in the UK, only minutes away from Ireland. Her shoulders twitch as she enters the Sign of the Weasel. Another world this may be, an assertion she accepts as a working hypothesis for now, subject to proof, but she'd spent a dozen years and more running with the IRA, and she knows there are plenty of Irish "patriots" who wouldn't hesitate to blow her up if they ever learned what she'd done to Thomas O'Neill. Any excuse to go after a "traitor" to the sacred cause. All the while proclaiming their allegiance to the Republic of Ireland, indivisible, because murder was more fun if you could wrap yourself in a flag and sing century-old songs all the while.
Patriots. Ha.
Ireland should never be big enough for such men as that.
Riordan Byrne, whatever else he was, didn't seem like that sort of man. A wee gombeen, perhaps, fond of a couple of jars every evening, but better that than a terrible fella.
As her eyes adjust to the change in lighting, she looks around for Riordan Byrne. |

Who: Anyone and everyone
Where: Guildhall, New Orleans
When: Midafternoon Oct 31st until everyone goes home.
What: Paaaartaaay!
Warnings: More than likely!
The lower level of the guildhall was done up like a Starbucks from Hell, with authentic branded crap onna shelf, sucky music over by the bar, and authentic baristas, all having died of something hipstery. There was coffee and booze and snacks, there was a dance floor cordoned off in one corner, and most of the other rooms were open for lounging or milling around.
The Birthday Girl was, at that particular moment, near enough to the door that she could greet all comers, but far enough away that she wasn't a foreboding presence. She was dressed as Anne Bonney, men's shirt, well-worn navy uniform pants, a belt made of rope and a pirate sword on one hip and a blunderbuss on the other. Her hair was tied back with a double-knotted twist of twine, and her tattoos were almost all visible.

Sable's waiting for Sindre at the shop. Her captive real-life doll (and distant cousin), Riordan, is here too, but not in direct view -- she's got him upstairs in the spare bedroom for now.
When Sindre arrives, he'll find her where she usually is -- hanging around the front counter, looking every inch a gypsy and doodling in a little notebook while she looks around every so often to check on her few customers. |

WARNINGS: ...needles?
-----
Sable hasn't left her shop in two days. She's barely left her ROOM in that time. But a post from a stranger intrigued her, and, born and raised a child of the road, she cannot resist an opportunity to travel.
With portkeys, it is not long before she arrives in New York and finds the address she was given. She enters with perhaps somewhat less of her usual intrepid spirit, but with no hesitation -- never any hesitation. |

Who: Meggie Folchart & Sable Harris
What: A meeting of the miiiiiinds. Or something like it.
Where: Sign of the Weasel
When: Afternoon.
Why: Because!
Warnings: book-geekery, not much else.
Meggie was walking home a slightly different way than she usually did, mostly because she didn't have to stop at the store on the way back, but also because she was learning the lay of the land between the library and her flat, and finding that the more she saw, the more she wanted to see.
Coming around a corner, when the wind shifted, she was sure she heard the whispering, even the books at the library were rarely that loud, only if it was a particularly lonely volume that was either out of place or hadn't been touched in ages. Her brow creased, taking a breath and just following the feel of that sound, slipping into the bookshop not long after.
Once she slipped inside she froze, just staring wide-eyed, likely looking more like a tourist than she had any real reason to. Give her a moment and she'll get out of the doorway, really. |

[Feb. 14th, 2009|01:14 am] |
Who: Sable and Henn
Where: Sable's shop.
When: Saturday, sometime.
Why: Because.
Warnings: probable.
Henn had realized, sometime after recovering from Thursday and Friday, that he had completely neglected to mention any of this plan to the fourth quarter of the wolfpack. This was clearly something that had to be remedied immediately.
Or, in typical Henn fashion, played with.
Sometime after lunch a young man walked into the shop, Henn's distinctive eyes hidden behind sunglasses, and the equally distinctive dye job hidden under a spiffy hat, namely a pinstripe fedora that he'd borrowed from Cass. The tribal tattoos of Kitten were still somewhat visible under the cuffs of the jacket, and Kitten himself was likely nearby, "So, I'm looking for a book for a friend of mine." He said, leaning against the counter, "I'm pretty sure it's blue." |

Warnings: Possible, will update if necessary Yep, girlkissing.
Henn was glad, really, that the new arrival had been unanimously accepted, and she couldn't help but smile at the fact that he was currently conked out in a ferret-tangle, snoring softly.
"So, that went well." She said, grinning over at Sable from her sprawl in front of the fire, "Better than I was hoping even, poor little guy." |

-----
The shop is its usual quiet self this evening. Having finished all the shelving, restocking, finances, cleaning, and contacting buyers, Sable has decided she's earned a little break time, and is sitting on the register counter with her Sudoku book and the ferrets asleep in her lap.
There's a new addition to the shop that she glances up at from time to time -- an upright piano tucked neatly against the wall next to the ferrets' main cage. It's an old, battered thing that looks like it might have come from a school for younger children, with rubbed-off remnants of colorful stickers decorating the sides and faded, aged keys.
No one has yet sat down to play it. |

WARNINGS: ...let's bet on it being NSFW for now.
-----
Sable is not the sort of person to worry about things unnecessarily. She's also not the sort of person to sit around and do nothing until a resolution presents itself. Unfortunately, she's heard too little from Soren to have any grasp on what's going on at all. Therefor, lacking any means to productively tackle a problem she doesn't comprehend, she's spent the last day or so cleaning, reorganizing, and otherwise focusing on her shop and her business. It's come to a point where one or more of Sable's devoted regulars had convinced Judah to come park himself perpetually in the shop just to make sure she didn't wear herself out. Sable was glad of his company -- he was a good friend, a good business partner. His work was often as focused and driven as hers, and in that they had an understanding... which was why Sable allowed him to order her to take a break occasionally and stand still.
And that's what she's doing now -- standing behind the register, focused intently on a Sudoku puzzle, trying not to think too hard about anything else. |

Why: Just for fun, and to confuse Cass later
Warnings: Probably. Look at who it is. Seriously.
Henn thought this was the best idea ever, she usually thought this of ideas that were thought up during a coffee buzz. It was her job, while Soren was out picking up both the sugar and Sable, to A, make sure that Cass wasn't coming back anytime soon to interrupt them, and B, to make sure that the camera had batteries and that the lighting was alright, since Cass was the photographer and the rest of them were just making do. |

-----
The shop isn't empty. It's almost never empty. But the late-night patrons are all either ensconced up in the nests on the balcony, or quietly in their own corners in the shelves (either by choice or because Sable's herded them there -- no one questions Miss Harris). Sable has claimed the fireplace for the evening and dragged up a few beanbag chairs and set out a tray of tea and cookies and a few cucumber sandwiches (because snooty British food is fun and tasty!). Cass would find her curled up in one of the beanbags reading something. |

Where: The lagoon on Tortuga
Why: Henn and Sable have evil plans Because the girls decided to host a clambake.
When: Dinnertime-ish
Warnings: OH YES! (seriously? How would there not be with this group?)
After a brief conversation with Sable, Henn had told the boys not to worry about dinner because it was nice weather and it was about time they all did something together, so she and Sable had planned a clambake at the lagoon right around sundown. After she'd imparted this news, she'd vanished off to the lagoon's beach to make a firepit, she had, after all inherited the family's love for torching things, and knew how to set one up.
After that, well, after that she just had to wait for Sable to arrive with supplies and the boys to arrive with themselves. |

When: 'bout the same time the boys are out.
It hadn't taken Henn long to get bored on the island with only Dog for company. And it seemed that Dog was bored too, since they'd stopped playing the barking game, and fetch, and they'd even stopped playing 'how long can we stare at each other?'
Which clearly meant that it was time for an outing, Dog wasn't a pursedog, not really, but Henn had him in a tote bag all the same, along with a few toys and a container of treats for later.
She peered around the door of Sable's shop, knocking once, "Hello? Anybody in?" |

The store is actually empty tonight. There's a CLOSED sign up -- a rare thing to see here. A sign below it says Urgent business: Please try Judah, three doors down, [address].
It's not locked. When Soren walks in, Sable is sitting on the counter dressed in a perfectly-taylored (though quite old-looking) men's suit (paiseley tie and all), smoking a pipe with a book in one hand and a rose sitting beside her, its stem cut quite short. She looks up and smiles at Soren, slides off the counter, and goes to tuck the rose behind his ear.
"Hello, beautiful." |

It's been a slow day. Sable's spent most of it being painfully productive to the point where Judah decided to move one of his own projects in and keep Sable company -- to make sure, he jokingly told her, he could still recognize the place when she was done. Sable got the hint and, after spending another hour using twist-ties to fasten flowers upside-down from the balcony railing to dry, she's finally out of things to do and lying on her stomach on the front counter reading The Three Musketeers. Judah finishes installing his project -- a new golem that would act as a call button to his shop if Sable got called away -- and leaves again.
And all is quiet... |

Warnings: Pigs blood, swearing, possible friendly beat-downs.
It started with Teja. That was really all anyone needed to know. He shot Miniver with a super soaker filled with blood, and Miniver retaliated. It was then that Teja started recruiting. Somehow, word got spread fast as wildfire, and the whole place became divided. It was a battle of paintball guns versus blood weapons. The sides were constantly shifting, and people kept switching sides.
The current standing was this, as the main forces:
Blood: Teja, Toki, Nathan, and Torii
Paint: Miniver, the Skwisgaars, and Pickles.
Things could change at any moment, considering that Soren and Cassidy were called up, and Cass called up Henn and Sable. Even 359, Offdensen and Sadako were invited to join in.
Things were getting pretty messy in the huge castle. Walls and ceilings were dabbled with paint and blood. The place looked like a warzone of impressionist artists.

NOTE: This is an open log. Go ahead and tag if your pup feels like popping in to browse the bookstore and meet the ferrets.
-----
Yesterday, as promised, Judah had set up a ferret enclosure while Sable and the cousins were having dinner in Tortuga. Judah, brilliant man (in Sable's estimation), had managed in that time to construct not one, but several large cages linked by a series of magic-strengthened chickenwire tunnels. The largest cage is situated beside the front counter, immediately visible from the main entrance. The chickenwire tunnel pathways, well out of the way of any human patron, lead to smaller cages in the kitchen, two tucked into nooks at the back of aisles in the main shop, at the top of the stairs leading to the balcony circling the shop above, and in the public-use bathroom. The chickenwire weaved in funny patterns up walls, over shelves, and on the ceiling, letting the ferrets see the shop from a number of vantage points when they weren't allowed to run free.
Today, though, they're out of their cages being played with by Sable behind the counter. They're still small and a bit shy, but over the past 24 hours alone, regular food and water and a clean home have perked the two of them up wonderfully. |

Sable and Judah are waiting at the Sign of the Weasel when Soren arrives, both of them looking their usual misplaced gypsy selves. At least they look like they belong together in their weird.
Sable hops off the counter when Soren comes in and bounces over to hug him. "Judah's coming because we practically share our shops, he'd be looking after them a lot. There's a place not far from here who has them." |

Their first outing was going to be a walk through the old parts of the city, with Henn playing tour guide. Just at that moment she was waiting for Sable to arrive, tying her shoes and making sure she had everything she needed in her shoulderbag, Kitten sitting on the back of the couch and watching the street below, feelers waving. |

It hadn't been too hard to find the place, really, the directions from the website were fairly accurate, and Petit was good at finding places like this, the little out of the way ones, she just hoped that if not what she was actually looking for, she'd be able to get ahold of information about it.
She slipped through the door, wincing at the chime, she'd gotten used to not announcing her presence in the past few weeks, and was just getting used to moving like a normal person again. |
