The Emporium is open...sort of

With the snow that came with the storm, Michael wasn't sure it was even worth opening. The sign says it is, but he's not expecting a big influx of people. Which is good, because he's still trying to sort out the paperwork for the store.

((ooc: Second verse, same as the first: slow-play until evening.))

Aziraphale wanders into the Emporium at some point during the morning. He doesn't appear to be too bothered by the weather, and smiles at Michael as he approaches.

"Good morning, my dear. I wanted to stop and say my goodbyes."

"Not at all, my dear. It's been a pleasure knowing you both." He steps around the counter and pulls Michael into a warm hug. "You never know, we may yet meet again."

Ben came down the stairs as Aziraphale was giving Michael the hug. "We would both really like that. And of course we expect to stay in touch."

"Thank you, Ben. I'd like it if you would."

Aziraphale beams. He's never had anyone write him a letter before, except for the lovely card that Kiki's mother sent him.

He lets go of Michael and moves to hug Ben as well.

Lana braved the storm to come out to say goodbye to Ben and Michael. She couldn't let them leave without seeing them one last time.

[identity profile] lovelylana.livejournal.com 2006-01-27 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"I know. It's a little crazy, isn't it?" Lana smiled. "I just wanted to come say goodbye to you both. I hate to see you go, but I'm glad you have this opportunity. You'll stay in touch, right?"

[identity profile] mikeys-ben.livejournal.com 2006-01-27 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Ben came up and wrapped his arms around Michael from behind. "Of course we will," he assured Lana. There was a twinkle in his eye as he added, "Don't get yourself into too much trouble after we leave, all right?"

[identity profile] lovelylana.livejournal.com 2006-01-28 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Lana smiled. "I'll do my best. I'm really going to miss you guys."

While Chaucer's is quiet Paige orbs to the store to say a proper good bye to Michael and Ben. It's possible she looks a little sad.

[identity profile] the4thsister.livejournal.com 2006-01-27 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
She nods, "If you need to go anywhere before you leave I'd be happy to give you a ride," she pauses and looks around, "so when are you leaving?"

[identity profile] the4thsister.livejournal.com 2006-01-27 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
She sighs and bites her lip, "If the weather's a problem I can probably help out there, not that I want you to go, but I guessing you've booked you plane tickets already right?"

Tobias finally makes it to the windowsil and uses the mechanism to open it. The wind happened to kick up at that very moment, and a cold and wet bird comes blowing in unexpectedly. Trying to steady himself, Tobias flaps around as the window closes slowly. He knocks over a few light (and thankfully not fragile) boxes that were there before he gets above the blast of air to land on a shelf. The door finally closes after letting him and a little bit of blown snow inside.
//Gah!!!// Tobias yells, annoyed. He fluffs and flutters his wings, trying to get all of the snow and ice bits off. He sees the knocked over //Jeez, sorry about the mess, Michael. I'll clean it up, I promise.//

[identity profile] hawktobias.livejournal.com 2006-01-27 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Shivering, Tobias nods and fluffs his wings a little before flying to the back room to morph.
He comes out in human form, wearing a warm hoodie and jeans. He shivers a little more and goes to fix the boxes he knocked over.
"So, Michael... When are you and Ben leaving for Belgium?" Tobias asks sadly, and sneezes.

[identity profile] hawktobias.livejournal.com 2006-01-27 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"In this weather??? It's pretty hard flying with these wind gusts." Tobias laughs a little. "And I certainly couldn't fly across an ocean to Belgium." Brushing his hands of the melting snow, he stands, boxes fixed.
"Good luck on your flight. I hope it's not canceled due to the blizzard we're seeming to have."

After lunch

[identity profile] strongestgirl.livejournal.com 2006-01-27 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
ImagePippi actually needs to do some shopping... Seriously.

She trudges up to the Emporium in a rediculously large blue scarf and a sweater that reaches down to her calfs. She's wearing a pair of snow shoes, the ones that rather look like tennis raquets. They are not actually for tennis, they are for trudging through the snow.

She manages to get the door open, just barely due to the mounting mounds of snow.

"Wphew! I love snow, but I think this may be to much even for me! Hey Michael. I thought I'd stock up on stuff and clear my account before you guys left and we got burried in a drift!"

"Better to be out now in weather like this to stock up then to wait and miss you needing to go lord knows where in worse weather later!"

She had a list.
Candles
Matches
Flashlights
Glow sticks
Canned goods of any and all sorts
Bottled water
Sterno cans
Packets of drink mixes
Extra blankets
...and so on

Pippi buys a boatload of supplies, muttering cryptically about "5th floor preparedness over 2nd floor swanky decor" or something.
