Fingernails that shine like justice, and a voice that's dark like tinted glass

Work today was a very evident escalation, and I expect it'll keep getting more exciting over the next seven days. Usually I go to lunch after the 'lunch rush' of people who fly in during their noon hour break and desperately need to find that perfect costume in about twenty-five seconds so they can still make their conference call on time.
Today at one-thirty I looked up at Daria from behind my barricades at the make up counter and said "I'm making a run for it." She swore she would cover my back. I did not kill the screaming children who ran through the store casting various and sundry bits of costume and accessories from their racks to the floor and scattering them to the four winds. I was strongly tempted. Instead, I spent the next few hours trying to tidy as I helped customers.
Secret Princess Angel Angel Megs came and saved me though, and took me to dinner and provided me with a foot-soaky-thing and then let me be while I plotted for the game tonight, which was (Wai! Wai!) Ar Noir after a three week break. Personally, I think things went very well tonight--it was definitely a pay-off session for lots of RP and background building stuff. Megs said she was creeped out and if I managed to affect one of my players at least, then my work was successful.
Next week is the special Hallowe'en issue. Hoping that more than one of them will be creeped out then. Plus, there will be extra-Miltony goodness. (Milton is probably not a vampire but he is an albino and a sort of dodgy information source.)

Yeah, but Megs dreams about FLTD on a regular basis.

Successfully creep out Tony, and I'll give you cookies. :)

I loved the game last night... I have the costumes planned for the cats for next game and am hoping that we can light the room with candles and make things creepy for halloween.
