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... )

At or around 5am, Luka Petrovic wakes up for the day.  She quickly makes her bed and gets ready for the day, and is out the door of the Estates by 5:30 am for her morning run.

Between 5:30am and 7:30am, Luka is on her morning run.  She makes it a point to  run at least 10 miles every day.  Starting from the Estates she takes a long meandering route ( Read more... )

Robin is sitting pressed up against the door to the room that they brought Jo to. He's wearing a short sleeve shirt and plain black pants, because he's tired of ruining suits. He's running out of suits and running out of money to continue buying them. He should ask Wyatt to pay him for being a fucking guinea pig. The short sleeves show off 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. Since then he's been showing up to help pretty much any time he can reasonably expect to ( Read more... )

[[OOC: Wanted to get this post up since family might arrive tonight. If under-18-year-olds attend, Martha will set up a separate section for them exclusively. Treat this like a party thread! Post in your character, and then the assumption will be that everyone who attends (in either the over 18 group or under) will have talked to your character at ( Read more... )

Adrian is in a clean, quiet, out-of-the-way little music store and luthier. It's well-lit and and rigidly tidy, every surface polished, instruments carefully displayed, tidily organized racks of music arranged according to genre and alphabetized as well. The Muse who owns the place emerges from the back and eyeballs Adrian with suspicion. She ( Read more... )

[OOC: This is for Martha's planned girls' night, which was locked to individuals in her journal, but these women were asked to invite other female friends so they would be here, too. I thought it might be good if the women actually interacted to see how well they got on and to form relationships. Maybe a couple are secret soul-sisters or something ( 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... )

[OOC note: The last scenario in this post, the one involving Jon, is locked. Anyone can tag into any of the others if they like.]

On this fine morning in Chicago, there are a number of people awake and about. Possibly earlier than they have any right to be, but whatever.

Babel is standing outside of the Pack's inn, staring at her journal and ( Read more... )
