| 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. |

What: Wednesday night dinner
When: Wednesday night, Septber 16, 2009
Where: Penny's flat.
Warnings: Probably swearing.
Status: Complete.
Making his way up to Penny's flat, Gus kicked the door lightly as a way of knocking considering his hands were laden down with food and drinks. When the door opened, he smiled tightly, the tension from work still in his body as he held up the bags.
"You mentioned something about splurging?" he teased in a tired voice. |

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?" |

Who: Augustus Pye and Michael Corner
What: Being social on the lunch break.
When: Tuesday noon time, September 8
Where: Ollivander's.
Warnings: Likely innuendo.
Status: Incomplete, threading.
Walking up to the door of Ollivander's, Gus shifted the bags so that he could open the door. It still felt weird to walk into the store now. The door felt far too big, but then he'd grown quite a bit since he got his first wand. Rapping his knuckles against the door as he pushed it open, he couldn't help smiling a bit stupidly as he looked around the shop.
"Michael? You down here? I brought Indian, as promised," he called out. |

Who: Augustus Pye and Penelope Clearwater
What: Friends catching up after church
When: Sunday morning-ish, August 30
Where: Outside St. Mark's, Beckton
Warnings: None?
Status: Complete
Gus was in an exceptionally good mood. Even the usual nervousness of the possible danger he was putting Penny in couldn't ruin the mood and wipe the grin from his face. Leaving the church with an arm lightly wrapped around Penny's shoulders, he let out a content sigh. "That was a good service." |

Abandoned for now unless time and boredom line up right. Basically, Gus helped Michael move in. Since they got all hot and sweaty, they showered together with some play and then moved to christen the bed in the new location. Post was going to be snuggle session afterwards. |

Who: Augustus Pye and Lucille Granger
What: Phone Call
When: Friday night, August 14, 2009
Where: their respective locations
Warnings: TBD
Status: Closed/Incomplete
Gus checked again to make sure the recording equipment was set up properly as he shot a glare at the pay as you go phone he had purchased earlier in the week. He wasn't fully sure what the increased security meant. Hopefully it was a good thing in his favor. Hearing the phone ring, he took a deep breath as he hooked the bluetooth to his iPhone on his ear and set it to record. He wasn't sure if it would work properly, but at least it was worth a try. Clicking the pay as you go phone on, he cleared his throat.
"Hello." |

What: A small celebration for the (belated) Birthday Girl and the newly-housed Healer
When: Monday evening, lateish 10 August
Where: 7 Ballyvolane House, Castlelyons, County Cork
Warnings: none thus far
Status: thread/in progress
A lovely large estate out of the way of England. This place fit the bill perfectly for the night, even if it was a little pricey. Still, he thought to himself, he didn't know when he'd be able to squeeze in time again with his friends. It was alright to dismiss expenses on occasion.
Percy lounged on the chaise lounge (it was what you did on that, after all) as he wrote inside of his journal that lay flat on the cushion. He needed a speech writer, he lamented as he fought the urge to scratch out what he just wrote and, instead, just continued to push through. |

| 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. |
