Rating: PG
Hans dressed in his civilian clothes after work, and headed straight for the Occitan bistro. Truth be told, he wasn't even sure of the name of the place- or even if it had a name.But the only Occitans he knew other than Marie-Pierre resided there, and if he was to pull off this surprise - he would need their help. He had been in there alone once before - to ask Stephane to deliver a message to Marie-Pierre. And he'd been seen in there twice now with Marie-Pierre, so he hoped they would react favorably to his request. Or at the very least, they wouldn't mind him asking.
Feeling a bit nervous about the whole thing, Hans pushed open the door to the bistro and stepped inside. |

Rating: PG
Complete (Unless someone would like to step in).
Summary: Oscar does a spot of reconnaissance.
Oscar skipped over the fourty seventh rooftop of the evening. When he’d risen, the ash-grey sky was still waning. Now, at a wistful 11:30PM, the colourless sunlight of winter had been snuffed completely, replaced by the more comfortable amber glow of lamps parked by the windows of the austere Parisian cityscape.

When: December, on a windy mid afternoon
Where: la Boulangerie Chabert
Rating: PG

Summary: Bakery goodness and friendly talk
Happy to have received a fresh supply of flour and even some sugar, Marie had been busy all week catching up with orders. Today, she'd just about finished the backlog - and she even had time to make some rare treats - cakes, and pastries - enough to almost fill the front display case. She still wasn't sure that the money she'd taken from her savings in order to pay for the flour and sugar she'd found was worth it - but well, it was to keep the business going. What could be done in times like these?
And it was worth it to see the happy faces of those who were pleased to taste her famous sweets again. It had been too long since the last batch, really. Marie resolved to try and have more of the luxuries for sale, whenever possible. Only a few customers were left in the store once the earlier rush had faded, and Marie turned towards them with a bright smile. "May I help you?" she asked. |

Who:Joséphine open to all
When: a December evening
Where: Le Passant
Rating: PG
Incomplete
Summary: An evening at Le Passant
Wanting to get out for the evening, Joséphine decided to try a cafe she'd never been to before. She'd seen handbills advertising Le Passant and their extended hours. She didn't have work in the morning, so she figured that if she got absorbed in the entertainment- this way she wouldn't have to worry about curfew and could just stay on until it lifted the next day. She decided to dress up for the occasion, sweeping up her hair and putting on some earrings and her nicest dress.
She pushed open the door, and looked around at the various patrons there. It seemed like a nice enough place. She smiled as she headed towards the bar, intent on collecting a drink and finding herself a place to sit and enjoy the evening. |
