Juni has been somewhere, where that somewhere is she’s not saying (Or isn’t entirely sure) though she has picked up a tan, slightly lighter hair and against all odds a rather happy smile to go along with both of them.

This is all quite odd, but needless to say she is now back, not actually inside the hotel as of yet but still back in Chicago and ( Read more... )

It's been quite a while since Cole heard Rose was gone, and only now is he resurfacing from his room in the Conrad. He's out taking a walk in Grant Park, breathing the fresh air and trying to make himself feel like there is a reason to not just throw himself back into the Rift. All his friends are gone, he knows no one here and next week is his mom ( Read more... )

COLE is out on the street, sitting numbly. Jasper's gone. And he feels... even more useless than before. And his head is killing him. And he misses home. A lot. So he's slumped over on a park bench, head in his hands, palms pressing into his eyes, where the throbbing is focusing itself.

DR. PARKER is sitting in a hallway in the basement,  ( Read more... )

According to the Conrad Hotel website, the Rendez-Vous is "The ideal spot nestled off the lobby to unwind...". And that's exactly what Cole Anderson is doing. It's been a tough couple of weeks as of late, and he hasn't had a lot of breathing time. The quick move from the basement up here was... well, quick, and it still hasn't really sunk in, any ( Read more... )

(ooc: Yes, I did make her do this. Because, dammit, she needs help. And I can't do it right now. I'm too stressed.)

Distressed is not strong enough of a word for the way Rose is feeling currently. Jack is...gone. He's left the basement and it's more then Rose really knows how to handle. If she thinks about what she wants, what she needs really, it's for her Pack to be together, for her to be surrounded by people she loves ( Read more... )

GLADYS, having gotten all her rage out in that little journal post, is in the back of the cafeteria, flour in her already gray hair and all the way up her arms to her rolled-up sleeves. She's had to throw out three batches of cookies for various problems, which is what happens when you bake while angry. The last batch turned out okay, though, which ( Read more... )

Zuko should probably not be exerting himself at the moment. His lightning burn still isn't completely healed. Yet he's in the training room regardless, going through a Firebending form.

And not Firebending.

Snarling in rage, he punches the wall, scraping his knuckles in the process.

"It was working before!" he growls. "Why isn't working now ( Read more... )

Cole races into the medical room.

"I need a doctor!" he calls, desperate. "I need one fast."

He hopes with all his might Rose is feeling good enough to write something in her journal, to tell someone the situation.

"Hello?!"

You forget how easily things fall apart when you refuse to acknowledge anything around you. When you're getting so caught up in distraction after distraction that you're not even sure where you are, who you are, what you want. Something to keep you from sleeping, something else to keep you from feeling. One miracle pill after another.These are the ( Read more... )
