Ruby has found herself walking the city streets. It's the first Monday after the holiday and there are more people lining the streets trying to save an extra ten percent off of some random piece of junk they don't really need. Aside from the slight annoyance of having someone bump into her every once in a while, she's relatively okay with the cold ( 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!

Turning around again, for what Ruby is sure has to be the fourth time in the past half a minute, she's less dizzy and just more confused. Since when were they in Chicago and since when did her internal GPS take a dive ( Read more... )
