http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/896389.html?thread=27318405#t27318405 - Nia is playing with Nick, mostly climbing frames, and Rahul says she shouldn't break the grown-ups. Charlie makes sure nobody gets hurt, then suggests they play with Scruffy, who's been fed until he's just not hungry anymore (and I bet that took a lot!). Rahul agrees, so they go do that.

He's bought her a present for taking care of him, although she said he didn't need to, and they will be off to Barbados in July, Jazz is a little overawed at the sheer expense of the gift, but starts to see the advantages to a private beach fairly swiftly!

http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/897050.html - Erin takes Callan home to meet her folks, anyone else for the spanish inquisition? Callan seems to handle it though, jealous sisters and all! What he's not happy about is the casualness Erin seems to have placed on their relationship in front of her family.



Monday 31st
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/897430.html - Vision and Jude talk, Vision with an exultant air, and Jude less confident, and then, crunch time! Suddenly things change as AU week takes over and Jude, is someone else.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/897637.html - The carnival comes to town! Jazz meets Chad while it's still setting up and takes him to her father, who pays him bribes and permits, and offers up Jazz for whenever Chad wants her. Chad accepts, but not tonight as it's his wedding anniversary, and then leaves for home. Jazz is relieved, but for how long?
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/897895.html - Emily and her daughter are at home, when Gregori's TV show comes on, and while Audrey is distracted by thoughts of Ice Cream, Emily turns him off.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/898195.html - Jazz 'accidentally' runs into Mr Avery in Vine Square, covering him in ice cream syrup, and picking his pockets at the same time.

http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/898420.html - Sibyl finds "Slick" injured in his apartment, and calls the emergency services. Police take a statement, an ambulance takes "Slick", and Sibyl runs for cover afterwards. Something shifty was due to happen that hasn't, but it still wouldn't do to be remembered for being there.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/898622.html - Jazz brings her ill-gotten gain back her father. A few questions and a lie or two later, he admits he's pleased...but not pleased enough to let her stop "performing."



Tuesday 1st
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/898846.html - After lunch with Mr Michaels, Gregori Rushenko is stunned to find Emily Brandon at the bottom of the elevator shaft, but not half as stunned as she is to see him in the building! He wants coffee and a catch up, she just wants out of there before her daughter comes home, but alas, Audrey catches them together, although that does provide Emily with an excuse to leave.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/899295.html - Sean is a pickpocket and mugger, working at the airport, and he gets a bag, but causes more harm than he would like when he takes on a tired long haul traveller. He does get the wallet and the case though.

http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/899935.html - Seth is painting in the garden when a real object of distraction in the from of Nick wanders by. Together they chat about art while carefully, not really, but, yeah, kinda-sorta flirting. By the end Seth's earned himself an invite to Sanctuary on Friday -- to listen to a band, of course. Uh-huh.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/900233.html - Beatrix, Mocha employee (I know it must suck Bea, but OMG SWEET ZOMBIE JESUS, somebody who isn't Joy!), starts her shift and shortly finds herself serving Andy. Beatrix decides in short order that even if she didn't like Andy simply on the principal that they're both tall, tall ladies, she'd like Andy because she's nice. Andy, for her part, feels much the same. *warm fuzzies*
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/900564.html - Burlesque dancer Sterrin finds herself beset with feathers, yet again, for her latest performance.

http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/900617.html - Micah's got himself a bookshop down on the Square and wouldn't you know it, Student!Isabella and Charlie are both in need of some books. One of them comes away with books and a date, the other - just books. Go on, guess which is which.

http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/905305.html - Tristan snoozed through the news in the Mocha, and gets Rhiannon's interest with an F-word in the wrong, or was it the right, place?
