Mr. Christopher Yule was out of Chicago for several months, more than long enough for his landlord to boot him out of his apartment in his absence. While having a car still is a gift horse that Topher won't look in the mouth, he can't live out of his car. Well, he can, but he really doesn't want to. He's just not sure if plan B is any better.

The not-quite-opened-yet Second Home Spiritual and Emotional Wellness Center is located in a little strip mall between a laundromat and a donut shop. It's a rather humble beginning, but it's a beginning. The parking lot is pretty active, since Topher found a some people to help out with the car wash. Topher himself is in the shade overseeing the ( Read more... )

Topher's been helping where he can with the Conrad construction on and off, since he had a real job and all. Unfortunately that real job doesn't exist any more. That branch of the bank closed, and Topher didn't get a transfer. It happened about a week ago.

If you were to ask why a somewhat weepy Rachel Dawes wound up in a bench across from a church after a long and emotionally exhausting day, she'd be hard-pressed to give you an answer. She simply doesn't believe in coincidence, so she takes the fact most of her recent conversations have revolved around faith seriously. She doesn't, after all, leave ( Read more... )

In Grant Park, one can find many monsters, odd objects and other strange threatening things. One can, but Jennifer Rose never does. Other than the occasional new wanderer, Jennifer Rose usually doesn't see anything supernatural in the park ( Read more... )

Chicago's never been a quiet city, since it became a city at all, and today is no exception. Things are happening, people are doing things.

Steve is in the Coffee Shop. He just got out of a meeting with a loan officer and a guy with a building to lease out. They're both supernatural folks themselves, so they're a bit more appreciative of the ( Read more... )

[OOC: The epic. Let me show you it. Tag as much as you want with as many characters as you want. I'm crazy.]

9am: Elizabeth Jules has decided it's a good thing she started training with Aaron Barnam. Not that she expected to be assaulted by an undead wanderer on the sidewalks of Chicago three weeks after training started, but she's not dead, yet ( ( Read more... )
