| Aquascutum presentation (Open to all) |
[Sep. 21st, 2009|03:26 pm] |
Who: Miranda Pye and a cast of thousands (add your character's name to the tags)
What: Aquascutum presentation (women's preview; men's preview)
When: Monday, 21 September, 9 AM to 6 PM
Where: Aquascutum showroom, 100 Regent Street, London, W1B 5SR
Warnings: Possibly some language, none others planned.
Status: Open to all, incomplete
The showroom had been prepared for both the presentation and the small catwalk shows--really just cleared areas with chairs for the clients to sit while the models strolled past in their gear--that would be going on intermittently all day. The public area of the store was filled with large-scale photographs of models in the new season's clothes and racks of goods that would soon be for sale; behind the scenes it was a madhouse of pinning, sewing, primping, and other last-minute preparations. Designers and models worked anxiously as buyers and clients perused the offerings, waiting to see how the garments that starred in the photographs looked in motion on the models' walk down the psuedo-runway. |

[Sep. 14th, 2009|11:12 pm] |
Who: AP squared (Adrian & Gus)
What: An unpleasant but necessary discussion that Adrian has been putting off
When: Monday, 14 September, after hours
Where: Their clinic, Diagon Alley
Warnings: Probably language
Status: Closed, incomplete.
Adrian had not been looking forward to this conversation before his disastrous talk with Phil about it and he definitely wasn't afterwards. Still, the fact that he wasn't looking forward to it didn't mean he could slack off any longer now that he'd decided what needed to be done. When clinic hours were over, he saw Janice down to the Leaky and out onto Charing Cross Road, and made his own way back to catch Gus before Gus headed off to--well, probably something with Corner. Adrian hoped so anyway, so he'd have someone to complain about Adrian's perfidy to, anyhow.
He banged on the doorframe of their office, where Gus was still filing patient records to close out the day. "Got a moment?" |

( You're a very strange man, Adrian Pucey. ) |

Who: Phillip Hughes and Adrian Pucey
Where: Adrian's house
What: housemates ought to chat once in awhile
When: Friday, September 11, evening
Status: Thread, complete
Rating: PG/G,
Dinner of course, was a wonderful affair. Phillip could not complain about the food here and he certainly wasn't used to eating so well and richly. As the dishes disappeared, he sat nursing his glass of wine while Ellie excused herself to go do something.
"How has your week been?" Phillip asked as he folded his napkin and set it aside. |

| Consulting with a healer... |
[Sep. 5th, 2009|09:32 pm] |
Who: Lucius Malfoy and Adrian Pucey
What: Discussing current events
When: Saturday 5 September
Where: Malfoy Manor
Warnings: Rated S.
Status: Closed, incomplete
Lucius smiled at the younger man walking across his well-kept lawn. The sun and heat of the day linger here, perhaps the result of ancient magical meddling or perhaps the reason the Malfoy ancestors chose this spot. It was something of a virtue made of necessity. The house-elf had insisted on repainting the public rooms prior to Narcissa's return.
"Adrian, my boy. So kind of you to come." |

Who: Phillip Hughes & Adrian Pucey
When: Sunday 16 August 2009 , near one o'clock in the afternoon
Where:sheet music section of Foyle's on Charing Cross Road, third floor
What:Phillip crosses the Rubicon
Status: complete
Rating: PG, if that. Adrian tries not to swear in front of the priest. :)
Phillip had presiding at the sung Latin mass at Church of the Immaculate Conception. It was bittersweet because he wasn't sure when he'd get the chance to preside with a choir and a full congregation. Nonetheless, the trepidation that he felt was tempered with a pervading sense of peace.
It was nearing one when he reached Foyle's, having changed into civilian clothes with a backpack slung over his shoulder. In it he had his medical kit, his mass kit, two changes of clothes, and his cassock. Spotting Adrian, he went over to him.
"Find anything good?" |

| Open house at the clinic |
[Aug. 10th, 2009|11:13 am] |
Who: Adrian Pucey, Gus Pye, and a cast of thousands
What: Open house for first day at the clinic
When: 9 AM, Monday 10 August
Where: The new clinic at 129B Diagon Alley
Warnings: Should be pretty tame
Status: OPEN, incomplete.
Adrian and Gus had worked like madmen over the weekend and late into Sunday night to finalise the preparations for the clinic opening. It seemed to Adrian that the only break he'd taken for days was Mass on Sunday morning. Now, a bit bleary-eyed but well caffeinated with tea, he and Gus were waiting to see what the patient load would be like.
There was a sign on the street and balloons to show anyone who needed to find the clinic where the staircase up was. In the waiting room, there were comfortable couches and a coffee table with a cake baked by Flitchy sitting on it, ready for the Healers to serve to their littlest patients and their parents. There was also a tea service set up for patients and Healers alike.
At precisely 8:59, Adrian turned to Gus and said, "Here goes nothing," as he unlocked the door and flipped the sign on it with his wand. The clinic was officially open. |

Who: Miranda Pye and Adrian Pucey
What: Adrian makes it for his meeting as Dominic and after making sure each other are alright, the conversation turns serious.

Where: Miranda's flat in Soho.

[Aug. 4th, 2009|03:03 pm] |
Who: Adrian Pucey & Romilda Vane
What: House call
When: Tuesday afternoon, 4 August
Where: Romilda's flat
Warnings: TBD
Status: Closed, complete.
Adrian had been dreading this particular house call because he knew he was likely to end up with a patient in crisis by the end of it. While he'd felt Romilda was doing well under the circumstances until now, the idea of someone Romilda knew, and more importantly, someone who knew about Romilda, being taken was likely to upset Romilda. It was upsetting enough to him because of the threat to Gus, and he didn't have the traumatic experiences that Romilda did.
These things were two steps forward, one step back. He just had to be ready for the step back, and to help if Romilda stumbled. He took a deep breath and buzzed to be let in. |
