Finnigan's RPG

Today is the last full day for Sweet Nothings before Christmas. Tomorrow we'll be open from 8:00 to 11:00 am for pick up of orders, and then we'll be closed until December 27.

Merry Christmas to all of you out there. Hope you have a good one!

[Private to Cho, Marietta, Roger, Bryn, and Ben]
I've just had the cakes and desserts for the Scamander Fundraiser tonight picked up and was given invitation that includes a +1. Are any of you lovely people free tonight, and would care to go there with me?

I'm finally feeling like a human again. Why is it that being sick makes you want to do nothing more than curl up in a ball and pray for death? It's times like this when I wish I still lived at home and had my mum there to bring me her special soup and whatever other magic she worked that always made everything all better.

I still have a horrible hacking cough that doesn't seem to want to leave. Do you have anything that will knock it out?

I hope all of you out there is enjoying Christmas. I know I am. Things are fairly busy this year with more people recognising the wonders of using amazing cakes for centrepieces, which makes for some interesting challenges for me.

That being said, this year’s yule logs are a hit. Just last week we’ve had two groups of customers in to learn how to make the almond pinecones and this week we’ve another planned for Thursday right after closing.

New Years is coming up very soon, so now’s the time to get any orders for New Year’s Eve in.

In other news; on January 1st, I will be taking over full ownership of Sweet Nothings. It was always the plan to have the shop be closed the first two weeks of January for renovations, but with these new changes, Sweet Nothings will be closed for all of January, with a grand opening and revealing of a slightly new concept and a brand new menu. Those of you who have already ordered for special occasions in January, you can rest assured that they will still be done, and I will be taking in a few more orders, should the occasion rise, but it’ll be on a case by case basis.

[Private to Bryn]
As the shop will be closed for all of January rather than just the originally planned 2 weeks, I wanted to hear if you’d be interested in doing the hours you’re usually here on something else (like delivery or helping with the new menu)?

[Private to Cho, Marietta, and Roger]
So
I
Yeah

[Warded to Marietta] -- How are you feeling, darling? Any better, I hope?

Last call for Christmas requests. I've already picked up a few items. Seriously though, if there is anything your dying to have that you don't think anyone else will get for you just say the word. Either I or someone else just might be nice enough to get it for you.

[Warded to Mel, Roger, & Mari] -- So... When is the right time to ask a guy out on a date? Or, is that not a thing that I should do? Or what if I'm totally wrong? I just... there's been a lovely lunch and drinks and notes back and forth but... not once have I been asked out on a date. Am I missing something here?

[Warded to Fin] -- It was nice running into you the other night. Definitely better than balancing my books like I always do on the 14th. Something about company and a glass a wine that picks up a girl's whole week.

[Warded to Gemma] -- Is the salon doing holiday-themed nail treatments yet? I've got a hundred meetings for holiday parties this coming week so was thinking something subtle might give me an edge. Let me know if you've got an opening? PS. Tokyo was a blast, I don't know if I ever said that outright.

I was thinking last night that it would be fun to be a little kid again for just one day. I say we should have a kids party where we play silly children's games. I know a few wizarding games but I'd like to expand my repertoire to Muggle-born games. So, who's up for an afternoon of snacks and kids games? Maybe this Sunday?

Emma
Do you have a black light? I had a client last night take me to a glow party and I got covered in invisible glowing paint. Need to make sure it's all gone before I head out tonight.

I think I shall begin my Christmas shopping today. I know it's still a bit away but one can never be too prepared. Anyone wishing for anything in particular this year?

Melinda and Cho
If I must go to this thing I ought to at least participate. So, I leave my possible future in your hands. I'm gong to split my funds between two individuals. Each of you gets to tell me who I ought to bid on. You can't both say the same person.

GO...
/Mel and Cho

[Warded to Emma & Marietta] -- Ladies, I need your evening schedules for the coming week. Have them to me by Monday morning and your hours will be owl'd to you that evening. Emma, please keep in mind I've got you on at the shop for 12-8pm both Wednesday & Thursday this week.

Thanks lovelies,
Romilda

[Warded to Mel & Mari] -- Ladies... If I ask you a question, can you give me answers without wondering why I'm curious? And Mel: No talking to that man of yours about it especially.

What do you two know about Quidditch Pro Finbar Quigley? The news seems to like him and his melodramatic personal sagas quite a bit, so I'm not inclined to believe any of it.

And just, please don't ask why I'm asking.

There were two youngsters in the shop today playing some game called rock, paper, size-ors today to figure out who could pick up the last copy of a comic we've started carrying. I'm not quite sure how it worked but it was rather interesting to watch. I don't remember ever having played such a game when I was younger. It must be something that has made its way to us from the Muggle world.

Melinda
Have things calmed down any? Remember the offer for a manicure still stands. I picked up a few nice wraps after work. Some that change colors with your mood others have moving stencils. You can have first choice.

My friends keep telling me I have to be more social so I'm going to attempt to play a game on this thing. It's called two lies and a truth. I'm going to tell two lies and a truth. You comment below with what you think the truth is then come out to Finnigan's Saturday night to find out if you were right. If you were right I'll buy you a drink. The catch is that when you guess you also have to put your own two lies and a truth down for others to guess with the caveat that you have to buy anyone that guesses yours correctly a drink.


1. I have been secretly dating a Muggle.
2. My favorite beer is from America.
3. I haven't done a Sudoku in over a week.



ooc note: I'll let you know Sunday if your character got a drink from her on Saturday night.

I really should learn to stop at Sweet Nothings in the mornings rather than the Muggle cafe down the street. I was running only twenty minutes later than I usually do and they were completely out of my favorite item.

On a better note there is a new employee at Flourish and Blotts so I will finally have all my Friday evenings and Saturdays clear pending other engagements.
