[Dictated over the journal (though anyone in the Lux will also hear her saying it):]

Anyone that's been wondering when the Lux is gonna open back up, I have an answer for you. Today! Today it's back to... sort of what it was before.

The castle must've finished the repairs while we were all on board those ships. The graffiti though, from while we were gone, we cleaned that by hand and fixed the rest of the minor things that had been done by whoever was messing the castle up.

[She shakes her head, making a soft sound] Sorry, I'm sure most of you don't care how it got fixed, as long as it's fixed.

One thing, at least for the time being, is that I don't have a cook. I can do most the easy stuff, but for today I'm actually going to call a "Grilling Only" rule. If the calendar I keep is right - it's the Fourth and no one in their right mind actually cooks on a stove today.

As long as I can stick it on the grill, you can order it.

[there's the sound of light tapping, the tip of her ring finger hitting the surface of the bartop]

Oh! Before I forget, is there anyone in the castle that knows a lot about art, has some free time, needs a job, and can easily get to the city?

Sounds lovely. As for your personal ad... I've got three out of the four. Is that good enough?

[huntersdaughter]

That depends on which three.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

One, two, and, ah, four. I'm not hard up for money, you see, but I could use a hobby.

[is behind the bar, doing her job -- you know, normal things. Because she's feeling normal again -- or at least her version of normal]

I still think we should hold auditions for the chef gig.

[huntersdaughter]

[Jo laughs, shaking her head]

I've been thinking about that suggestion, actually.

I mean, it might not be a bad thing.

[whatialways_do]

How else are we gonna know we've got the best person for the job if we don't try the food?

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

Temporary substitute cook, at your service, but ... completely at a loss on the grill thing. That was my dad's department.

[huntersdaughter]

You are going to be a life-saver, Claire.

The grilling I can actually handle, so we'll be set for today.

[autophoenix.livejournal.com]

I don't know if I'd go as far as life-saving ... But, I'm glad to help.

I might take some time to lurk over your shoulder and learn if we're not too busy.

[oh dear...Joshua as the gallery manager. That could get interesting. Well, he'd certainly be eccentric enough]

I'm glad the Lux is back up and running.

...Sophie went home, huh?

[huntersdaughter]

I think I needed the break, though, but I'm glad it's back too.

[and then the sad part] Yeah, I was handling things while the Lux was closed, but I don't want to put the burden on the townspeople. It's good for a temporary fix, but I'm trying to find someone new.

[eccentric? moi?]

[eat-me-beat-me.livejournal.com]

Seeing as I'm living in the city now and I've got nothing better to do... I think I pretty much fit the bill.

What kinda work are we talking about?

[huntersdaughter]

[she smiles] See, I was thinking about you, but I didn't want to ask since I wasn't sure if the whole working in the gallery thing was what you really wanted to do when it came to art.
