Penny walks into the Gauche after a day spent walking in downtown Chicago. It's late evening. Her favorite time of day. It's cool and quiet. As timid and awkward as Penny can seem in conversations, she is not afraid of others or of walking down the sidewalk by herself so she remained completely oblivious to the dangers that potentially lurk within Chicago.
What Penny doesn't realize is she can manipulate and emit pheromones to affect anyone within a certain distance from her. Without any control over it, this power acts up on its own accord without her even recognizing the switch in her mind that's been pressed. Right now she's emitting pheromones that would incite lust in anyone within fifty feet of her.
This could get interesting.
Robin Rice has spent a ridiculous amount of time sitting on the bench by the lake. Hours on end, in fact. It's the bench that he last talked to Natasha by, the one she died by. He has a gun with him. Not that it's visible, but it's been a test of wills not figuring out where this tower is exactly and going out in a blaze of fury, because he knows he'd be killed if he tried to shoot that fucking kid.
Not that he's really against death for himself, but he'd rather not kill someone else's... somebody.
So he sits on the bench and stares into the lake and looks more like a zombie than should be possible with something who's still breathing.
JD has been given money for cleaning dishes in the kitchen, which he practically begged Ariel to let him do to get his mind off of... everything ever. Now he has money. Now he's wandering the streets, very carefully avoiding coffee shops and never staying anywhere for long. Always know all of the exits and list all of the large objects to hide behind mentally in his head within twenty seconds of entering any shop.
If you're out and about shopping... you may run into the paranoid guy who has somehow managed to lose himself in the aftermath of the week from hell.
Romeo is 'reading a book' (talent scouting as always) and seated on a bench across from the recently blown up coffee shop. He is... amused that it was blown up. And people were wondering about the sanity of a person who'd blow up a bank? He's glad his boss did not blow up a coffee shop. Romeo might get really worried about his own future in the business if that were the case.
And Dinah is in her room in the basement, waiting to talk to Rain specifically, but the door's open so she'll take anyone else's company. She's writing down her best recipes and putting them in her giant box of recipes to pass on to specific individuals when she's died. It's a nice pass time and it's the closest she'll ever have to a will.
