[Cinna's using the camera feature to record what used to be the front of passione. Right now it's a mangled mess of glass, brick and ruined clothing. Luckily, most of the damage seems to be at the front of the building, the cafe and the salon both seem to be largely untouched.

Cinna's puppy is poking and sniffing his way around the wreckage. He finds a dress that looks delicious and takes it off to a corner to play with, ripping it and shaking it in his jaws like a happy little bundle of fashion destruction. You can hear Cinna start to say something chastising and then stopping himself, staring again with a resigned sigh.]

Oh, all right, Finick, you can have it, just this once. But no shoes, we might be able to salvage some of them.

[He turns the camera back on himself, his expression serious, but not devastated.]

Apparently high fashion was lost on yesterday's visitors, that or someone here in the City didn't look before they blew something up. Regardless, passione will be closed until this is cleaned up and repaired, but the salon and cafe are still in perfect working order and all appointments will be honored.

Is everyone still in one piece out there?

[ooc: Monday morning. If you would like to take responsibility for accidentally blowing up the front of Cinna's shop, you certainly may. Or we'll just say the Dalek's did it. Torchwood strikes again. Nice shootin', Gwen.]

[ She feels like whenever she ends up on the network, she's drinking coffee. ]

The daleks did that?

[ Well, that's unfortunate. But, his shop -- or, the remains of his shop seem nice? ]

[Cinna gives her a smile, she's a new face, he should be gracious.]

They or the people fighting them, yes. Sometimes to collateral is worse than the actual attack. [Look at District 13, at least before they rebuilt everything underground.]

[ Elena's dealt with all sorts of personalities. But, gracious is nice. It's friendly. She definitely falls under the new column. Is it that obvious? ]

How long will it take to clean up?

[threadthefire]

Clean up? Only a day or two. Rebuild the front? [He looks around.] That will depend on how much of the City looks like this.

Have a guilty Gwen?

[likeabreath]

... sorry. I tried to do as little damage as possible.

Ah-ha-ha DAMMIT TORCHWOOD.

[threadthefire]

Did you save someone's life?

They hear that a LOT. ^^;

[likeabreath]

A few, yeah. Mine also. More times than I'd like to admit.

You came out alright, otherwise?

[threadthefire]

Then that's the important thing, I guess. Buildings can be repaired, clothing can be replaced.

Yes, I'm fine, I wasn't here. A good friend warned me to stay indoors.

[charring]

Do you want some help cleaning up, Cinna?

audio:

[threadthefire]

If you'd like, Charlie, it will be dull and tedious work.

audio:

[charring]

Dull and tedious sounds like a blast after yesterday. What time should I stop by?

audio:

[threadthefire]

Any time, I'll be here most of the day figuring out what can be salvaged.

[valentineluke]

I'll come over and help assess the damage.

[threadthefire]

Ah, thank you. An educated eye would be appreciated before I start getting bids from contractors.

[boutant]

It's a good thing that I don't remember designing that, or else I think I'd be a lot more upset that it blew up.

[threadthefire]

Ariadne, how are you, is everything with you and your friends well? Everyone safe?

[boutant]

I'm fine. Everyone from home is fine. Cute puppy, by the way.

[ Not all her friends, but she doesn't want to talk about that right now -- especially when Cinna remembers more about her than she knows about him. It's why she's hesitating over continuing, but she does finally say: ]

Do you want me to take a look at the damage?

[Rose comes in today dressed to work. She's got on jeans and one of the Doctor's button down shirts. She's got her hair pulled up in a ponytail and no make up on. She's also carrying two huge cups of coffee.]

'Least it's not a total loss.

[She holds the coffee out to Cinna.]

[threadthefire]

Thank you, dear.

[He takes the coffee with a grateful smile, sipping carefully although he has no doubt that she's fixed it exactly as he likes it. She's very thoughtful like that.]

How are all your friends after yesterday?

action

[iwasherefirst]

'm a little worried 'bout Donna but she seems all right. Everyone else is good. Glad they're gone. [She wouldn't be a very good assistant if she didn't bring his coffee the way he likes it.]

Your friends all okay too?

[hexuality]

[So, she's still shaken up over her brother. And covering it up with her infamous temper or trying to keep distracted—this is the perfect thing for that.]

Need a hand? Preferably one with a wand in it?

[threadthefire]

I certainly won't object.

[He saw bits and pieces of what happened and if she's looking for distractions, he'll happily oblige.]

[hexuality]

I could fix up a good bit of that, I think.

[Pause.]

You really did name him Finnick?

[stopbleepingme]

Oh, now. No moping -- doesn't seem too bad a fix! Chin up, look see? No structural damage, right? You could even have a no-structural-damage party.

[threadthefire]

Well, I don't know about throwing any parties, but yes, I imagine once it's cleaned up it won't look quite as bad.
