(OOC: Backdated to the 3rd, because I am TERRIBLE.)

Meggie is eight years old today. She hasn't done anything to celebrate her birthday since her mother was around, though - since she turned four - because none of the foster families bothered. And so she wakes up expecting nothing of the day, because that's what's normal. The Tower does see fit to ( Read more... )

December 25th, very, very early morning. Just after midnight. All isn't quiet in Chicago, but then, when is it ever? There's people spilling out of bars and clubs, celebrating the coming of the day with a little too much alcohol and quite enough joy for the entire city. There are couples in Grant Park, taking a stroll to enjoy the freshly- ( Read more... )

[OOC: We did this post last year, and it became our highest comment count post ever. 2,267 comments. It doesn't matter if we get up to that number again, but it has become tradition! This is open for all of December through January for any holiday/winter shenanigans. :> Tag in with the same character multiple times, make multiple new threads, think ( Read more... )

[ooc: I am sorry for spamming the comm, guys. >< But this might be the last weekend or week in general where I'll get to tag heavily, with school/work on the way. So I...decided to be crazy and make a multi-pup post. Tag in as many times as you'd like, with as many characters as you'd like! It's open like burning. ♥]

There are some in this world who can make it look like they haven't been crying when, in reality, they've just nearly sobbed their own eyes out.

Kae is not one of those people. She walks back into the Kashtta with puffy, red eyes and cheeks, a handkerchief dangling from her back pocket. She's having one of those days where she remembers just how ( Read more... )

[OOC: Over a year ago, I made a post with all 14 of my characters that almost reached 925 comments. I only have 8 characters now, but lets see how far that goes. :D Feel free to tag in. Multiple times with one character or with multiple chars. It's open for forever. And I know there have been a lot of posts lately but I haven't made one in over a ( Read more... )

Dean is not having a good day. In addition to dealing with some of the stupidest customers the Luna Bar has ever seen, he woke up this morning to find himself surrounded with a small entourage of paper cranes. They're multi-colored and terribly crafted, and despite Dean's numerous attempts, they won't go away. He's done everything short of taking a ( Read more... )

Meggie sits in the back of the car, staring out the window. The car isn't familiar - she should probably be in a car seat but it's not like the social worker in the driver's seat has one for her - and neither is the scenery outside. But the situation is, almost to a point where it's comforting. Meggie is so, so used to being taken away from one ( Read more... )
