Who: Poppy and James
When: Evening
Where: James' place
What: Poppy and James having a nice evening

Poppy was happy that James was going to be home soon. She had now stopped working for Nicola, with the morning sickness and tireness, working with food and people just wasn't a good idea. She wasn't actually living with James, but she did spend most of her time with him.

She was very tired though, the doctor had said that was normal though. So she hadn't moved far from James' bed today, it was comfy and smelt like James, and she was tired. So she snuggled up to a pillow in her pjs and waited.

Who: James and OTA
When: morning
Where: Just Fleur You
What: James is feeling a little…wrong

James paused a moment and stared at the till. That was odd. That was very strange. His finger hovered over the keys on the till. He forgot how to open the till. “I…sorry sir.” He said blinking. Suddenly it came back and he opened the till and handed the change over he had forgotten to give the man. He sat down chewing on his nail. That had been happening to him a lot today. Maybe he was coming down with something?

He leant on the counter. He felt like something was wrong with him. It was like he was slipping. He forgot the Latin name for a rose this morning!

Maybe he needed to see a doctor? He was so distracted that he didn’t hear the bell as the door was opened.

Who: Poppy, James, Nicola, Delos and open to Natalie
When: Closing time
Where: Delights
What: Having fun with the days wasted stock

Poppy flipped the sign to say the little store was closed and went to clean up before the boys arrived, there was plenty of food left and milk that needed using, so they all might as well have a treat.

Delos walked out of his own store after making sure everything was going well with Tristan and over to the charming florist around the corner - even though delights was closer. "Are you ready to go?" He asked James as he stuck his head around the door with a soft smile.

Who: Poppy and James
When: Morning
Where: James' place/the streets
What: Just your average morning

The alarm went off for the second time and Poppy lent over James to turn it off. It couldn't possibly be time to get up yet, she was much too comfy! She opened one eye to look at the time relising that must have been the second alarm not the first, damnit, that just wasn't fair. She snuggled back up to James and pressed a soft kiss to his chest. "Mornin' sleepy head, the evil clock of doom says it's time to get up." She said stroking his face softly.

Who: James and OTA
When: 11am
Where: Earthen Wonders
What: James is looking in for a friend

The shutters went up on Earthen Wonders as James popped in to check the papers and mail that the shop may have gotten. He didn’t like the fact Delos was sick and in the hospital. He didn’t like the thought of any of this ‘flu’ that was going around. He had heard people had gotten very, very sick and he was actually scared for his friend and for Nicola. He scooped up a handful of letters and flipped the sign, he may as well have it open in case anyone wanted to buy anything. The poor guy would be loosing so much money not having anyone else to look after the shop. He hoped some of the letters would be application forms.

He unlocked the cash register to make sure there wasn’t any money left in there then went in to the back to go in to the safe. He grabbed a little cash and popped it in the till. He wouldn’t be here for long unfortunately, but enough to keep things ticking over and get some stock work done for his friend.

He made sure the wanted sign was proped up properly and sat up on the counter reading through the letters to check nothing was urgent.

Who: Poppy, James, and Lore (NPC)
When: 6pm
Where: Poppy's house
What: Poppy finally lets James meet her father.

Poppy had made sure it was well after dark before bringing James to her place. After all she wanted ehr father awake and looking as little like a corpse as he could. They had decided it was probably best not to tell James what Lore was yet, she didn't want him running. She smiled at them as they walked towards the house. "So nervous?" She asked.

Lore was inside he'd already been out and gorged himself on blood. He could do this, he had done it before when Poppy was young and he had to go into school for any reason. Of course as poppy got older he didn't and eventually there would be no way he would pass as her father. Right now he looked like he'd have been young when he took her in. It would have to do. He moved to turn the heating on for the house, it was chilly, because he needed a reason for wearing gloves so he didn't have to waste energy and heat on warming his hands. He dusted off his clothes a little, they hadn't been warn in a while. But he looked quite smart. Now he just had to remember not to threaten the boy.

Who: Robin, Quinton, James, Poppy and Open
When: 10pm onwards
Where: The last round
What: The four meet and talk

Upon seeing James at the bar the strange Genie did as he was told and ran to attack James. He came right up behind him and leapt onto his back, squeeling with glee. "Hiiiiii Jaaaaames!" It was always such a lovely thing to have happen to an unsuspecting person.

Who: Open to All
When: 9pm and on
Where: The Last Round
What: New Year's Eve Party



The Christmas decorations had been taken down and replaced with one for the party. The bar actually looked festive. Of course Gideon hadn't done it himself. He had had a couple of the employees do it. Still, it looked nice. The bar had been open for a while now but the party was just now set to start. Which was way Gideon was coming down the stairs dressed as a preacher.

Who: Poppy and James
When: 6.30am
Where: James’ place
What: Poppy goes to talk to James and break the news to him

Poppy was nervous, very nervous. She hadn’t slept all night worrying what she was going to tell James. She had spoken with her Dad and he’d firstly threatened to murder James then he’d been quite supportive. Well he would he was the living dead; at one point he didn’t think he’d be a father never mind a grandfather. He hadn’t really been able to help with what to say to James though, just that if he upset her he’d come and tear his head off. Always helpful.

So Poppy had decided to do this early, before her had to go to work, so she wouldn’t be worrying about it all day or have to face him at lunch without telling him. She stood outside of his apartment chewing her lip. She sighed and told herself that she could do this, she had to! Then knocked.
