Glinda was having a little bit of retail therapy, she had wanted to take Elphaba but her friend hadn’t been answering her phone so she had taken herself off to the mall alone. She had brought a couple of dresses which had been on sale but her previous frivolous nature had been curbed and now she didn’t get the same buzz from it that she used to.

She had postponed the start of her degree course so she could focus on the fashion label they were creating and was still not sure if she had made the right decision or not. Sighing she wandered along looking in the shops windows hoping for inspiration to hit.

Jessie was in the pet section of WalMart buying a selection of different pet toys for her new surgery. She was excited about the opening and couldn’t wait to meet all the pets and owners who would, hopefully, chose her services. She was in a happy mood, after all things were going great. She had a brilliant roommate, a small but growing number of friends, a brand new surgery and she had reconnected with her best friend. This move had, so far, been one of the best decisions she had ever made.

Katniss was wandering through the pet section of WalMart, looking for a new flea collar for the creature her sister called a cat which Katniss was almost sure was simply possessed by the devil. Her eyes caught on a shiny dog jacket and she carried on walking as her eyes were drawn back to it. Being so distracted, she didn't see the red-headed woman she walked into. "Sorry!"

	"Oh" Jessie exclaimed when she was bumped into, "No worries, it happens. Usually it's me" she smiled. Jessie had always been a fairly easy person to get along with and she was generally a bubbly personality, "I get distracted by all of the pretty things and the strange outfits" she added with a grin.

	"Yeah, so does my sister," Katniss replied, eyeing the collars dubiously. She didn't share her sister's enthusiasm for this...cat. "I don't know why they insist on making me come and pick a collar out...maybe they think it'll make me like the flea bag some more," she joked dryly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Not an animal person?" Jessie asked the other girl, "I'm afraid I'm a huge animal fan so I'm probably more like your sister" she smiled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnedgirl 2013-09-29 06:11 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh I'm an animal person," Katniss told her. "I'm just better at shooting and skinning them than petting them," she shrugged, fingering a bright pink collar with sparkly bits on it. "She'd like this one...the cat won't, but she will," she remarked with a wry smile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh my, right. Not quite what I expected" Jessie replied, wide eyed, "But then as a veterinarian I tend to save animals rather than shoot them" she smiled wryly. "Two birds with one stone huh? Please your sister and annoy the cat" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnedgirl 2013-09-30 05:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, sorry," Katniss shrugged. "It's just kind of the way you grow up in the middle of nowhere. My sister's more like you though, hence taking in the stray cat which kept coming back," she told her, she shrugged. "It's the perfect solution!" Katniss smiled, a little wickedly.

	"As long as it's legal" she shrugged, as a veterinarian she knew hunting happened and even if she didn't agree with it she accepted it. Jessie laughed at her expression, "I'm actually starting to feel sorry for the cat, I'm going to stay on the right side of you" (Reply to this) (Parent)

John was in the travel agents picking up some brochures on different west coast road trips that he and Glimmer could possibly take. He was just looking for ideas, he’d drive them on his bike but if they had an idea about things in different areas then they stood more of a chance of actually seeing something interesting instead of just driving aimlessly.

He especially wanted somewhere with great scenery so she could get some great shots and maybe send them into the photography magazine competitions that seemed to occur fairly regularly.

Margaery and...

Margaery was sat on the UC Irvine campus eating an apple while looking over her notes. Her lesson had been cancelled due to illness of her professor but there was little point in going anywhere as she had a russian class in an hour with Professor Weir. So since it was a nice day she had decided to sit outside and use her time productively instead. There were a lot of new faces around the university since the new first years had begun and she was already feeling the work increase in her second year though she found she was thriving on it. She only hoped that feeling would last.

Jem's first day of classes went off better than he'd expected, considering he was coming in after classes had started, but the fact that he'd been in contact with his professors before he moved made things much smoother. Despite being prepared there was a certain difference between University in England as opposed to College in the states, but he was sure that he'd get the hang out it in no time. If Jem was one thing, it was resilient. He was now walking across campus, new books in his arms when his toe caught on a loose piece of cement and the top book slid to the ground, "Bloody hell." Stopping, he contemplated how he was going to retrieve the fallen book without dropping the other books in his arms.

	Margaery looked up from her notes when she heard the very British voice and saw the young man's predicament. Hoping up from the grass she was sat on she moved to help him, picking up the book and popping it back on top of his pile. "Do you need a hand?" she offered with a smile.

The last thing Jem had expected was for someone to offer to help him, but he was grateful that someone had. "Thank you," He adjusted the stack of books as best he could so that his arms would 't start to go to sleep, "I think what I really need is a bag. I suppose I'll have to figure out which box I packed that in when I get home," While Jem had spent the weekend getting settled in at his cousin's house, he hadn't completely unpacked just yet. "I'm James Carstairs, by the way, but most everyone calls me Jem." It had been his mother who had first started calling him Jem and after awhile it just started sounding more right than James.

	"A bag would definitely be a help" Margaery agreed slight amusement in her voice, "I'm Margaery Tyrell, pleased to meet you Jem" she said, "You are obviously new here, what are you studying?" she asked, taking some of the books from him so he didn't have to balance them all.

	"I am. I only arrived over the weekend." Jem said, thanking her for the help as she took some of the books, "Music. I can't play to save my life, but I'm hoping to become a conductor." A few years earlier Jem wouldn't have spoken so openly with a complete stranger, but now he had a much easier time talking to other people. "Do you attend classes here as well?"

	beautyandbrains 2013-09-20 04:13 am UTC (link)
	"Oh how wonderful. Is it harder to do if you do not play or do most conductors not play?" It was an area Margaery knew little about though she enjoyed listening to concert orchestra's and the like. "I am in my second year here, studying law and languages" she told him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I don't know about other people, but I learned to read music because I wanted to be a conductor." On more than one occasion Jem had wished that he could play an instrument of his own, but for whatever reason he simply couldn't play, which did seem odd considering he was able to read music. Either way, he was working towards something he enjoyed doing, so he wasn't too upset about it.

"That's impressive. What other languages can you speak?" Jem was only able to speak one other language, which was Mandarin since his mother was Chinese.

	Margaery nodded, "Like a calling then" she smiled, she hadn't meant to sound accusing and hoped she hadn't. She just found it interesting and wanted to learn about something she had no knowledge of. "Swedish is my first language" she told him, "But I also speak Russian and Finnish" (Reply to this) (Parent)

Nina was heading home when she noticed that a movie she had wanted to see was now out and seeing that the start time was in thirty minutes she decided to get herself a ticket and see it. She had the day off the next day so she didn’t have to get caught up on sleep and it would give Audrey and Merlin some extra time together before they went to sleep. It was very odd sometimes to get home at 5 or 6 in the evening and find them already having gone to bed. She thought her shifts were odd but Audrey was on permanent earlies with the bakery. She wasn’t sure she could handle that.

Standing in front of the confectionary stand she wondered if she was in a popcorn or candy kind of mood.
