Bookstore of Light!
Who:Luz, Lexi and Big Open to all!
What: Luz is keeping the bookstore open to celebrate Hanukkah
When: back dated from the 18th and ending the the 26th!
Where: Bookstore (Willful Machine)
Luz was adamant she get this right, so she obviously would ask Lexi a few questions before she finally started keeping the bookstore open starting the eighteenth. She had a menorah in the store window, lighting each candle as each day passed. They usually closed at five on the weekdays, but Luz changed it just for this week: they were open until 8, or at least until everyone decided to leave.
Luz had the kid section now with books about the Maccabees and how they were able to reclaim the temple so they could rededicate it. to symbolize this, Luz had a few carefully rearranged "debris" that you could start building into forts to symbolize the temple's return to form. She'd also arranged tables and chairs so that people could sit and have the Latkes with applesauce with Sufganiyot on the side. Luz had luckily picked up on frying with Reaper's help, so she made sure to have a new batch each day!
Luz had also small classes on how to make clay Dreidels on the second day, and set to showing kids how to make some of their own, taking time to show them the symbols and how they were etched into the sides and what they meant.
Luz also had geldt! Well, chocolate ones, obviously, but the chocolate was real! She'll pass that out in the middle of the week, with a small present!
She'd also set up a little tin to collect for the orphans in Trench, but that would be up all week. Luz would make sure to turn that in to Shiro later on.
On all days though, Luz would take thirty minutes to talk a little about the holiday, reflecting on what it meant to have a place of worship to call home, and how much that meant. Just because you weren't particularly religious, Luz argued, didn't mean that a simple place like a reading nook wasn't your own private temple, and you cherished it the same way!
[[OOC: Feel free to add your character in on ANY day. They could pop in to have a Latke, say hi to Luz and Lexi or whomever, and hey, you're still in a bookstore! Take a moment to read in the corner or watch the festivities!]]

from there, some fumbled, half-baked apologies while he pulls himself out of the chair and onto creaky knees, patting around for something...something...payment...]
What's....good...?
no subject
No, no, its ok! It's pretty comfy in here!
Oh, right! Uh, hmm. Proper payment. What do you have on you?
[Lexi was actually much better at pricing people than Luz was. She would admit this easily].
no subject
Mmmh...hm... [let's see...
ah, here we go. his standard for luxuries like books and clothes has always come from this little jar he carries: sea glass of varying size, luster, and color]
May-maybe?
no subject
[Luz took a look, marveling at the items herself. Some of these would look GREAT in the shop]!
I'd say that works!
no subject
Thanksh.
no subject
Thank you! It's always great to mean new people! Hopefully next time things won't be quite so bad?
no subject
with that, he'll make his way out the door at grandpa speed. later taters.]
