Oh, it's so ironic; you've got the good book, your name's still on it

There are a lot of commuters on Chicago's streets today, who can be caught between or at their destinations.

Ruvin is on her way to see Wyatt. She wasn't sure about doing this, but... She felt better, last time she was there, however brief their talk was. And even if the medication has side effects that she didn't expect, it still helped her

Bean was out on a perfectly normal walk with Potato on this perfectly normal day when she met something perfectly abnormal. She's not actually sure what it was--it was sort of like a mix between a spider, a camel, and something with spines, and it also apparently has green blood, since that's what ended up all over Bean's clothes when she accidentally banished it. It sort of...exploded.

Now she's making her rather shaky way back home, though considering she's gotten lost, that might take awhile. Potato is walking close to her. Bean turns a corner without thinking and runs smack into Ruvin.

"Eep!"

Ruvin stumbles and catches Bean's shoulders to steady them both. "I'm sorry! Are you all right?"

She glances down at Potato, then back at Bean, worried about the look on the girl's face and feeling like she's seen her somewhere before. Her hair is rather distinct, but nothing particularly strange for Chicago.

"Oh, no, I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going! Are you okay?" She blinks a few times to bring the other girl's face into focus. Potato positions himself in between the girls, watching Ruvin with a suspicious look.

Bean finally gets a look at herself and starts trying to wipe off some of the goop. "Oh man, I'm a mess too...I didn't get any on you, did I?"

"Wh--" Ruvin looks down at herself, then back at Bean, snapping out of her daze long enough to take in--really take in--Bean's filthiness. "Oh. A little, maybe, but that's-- That doesn't matter."

Bean is obviously not okay. "What happened? Are you hurt?"

"But it does! This stuff is like glue or something..." She miserably tries to shake some off her hand to no avail. This just isn't her day. Potato butts his head against her hip consolingly.

"No, I'm not hurt...just a little shaken and really tired I guess...this, um, th-thing attacked me and I th-think I m-might have exploded it a little..."
