There is a girl on Navy Pier with a guitar.

This is mostly noteworthy because Navy Pier is scorched and partially demolished by various occurrences during the plagues. Also it's technically closed off to the public, not that there's more than a couple of wooden barricades blocking the way, and no police patrolling. There are more important ( Read more... )

(ooc: This is happening during the day on Tuesday. It's so totally Tuesday already, so there. :P)

There are a few different people in the expanse of Grant Park.

In one area, Dusty Baker has decided that she's going to be a rock star for a day, taking advantage of the fact that the majority of people passing can't hear or see her, and is rocking ( Read more... )

It starts, not with a bang, but with a whimper.

Well, technically with a bright flash, and a thump as he hits the ground, but that's followed by a whimper. And the whimper is mostly caused by his pounding head, not the actual landing. The alcohol has dulled him to the pain of sudden impact with the ground, but not the thumping inside his head.

[Pretend this was posted a few hours ago during school hours >> Also, Boogie's tags will be a little sporadic until she's done with her monstrous work load.]

Soul Eater and Maka are standing just outside the Chicago Public Library, and their way is being blocked by a tall, angry-looking truant officer. Soul and Maka don't look all that happy ( Read more... )

Sarah Tapper is in the basement of the Conrad Hotel, with a guitar on loan from the music room, muddling her way through some chords on a sheet of notebook paper extracted from her backpack. She's pretty pleased with the setup down here, even if everyone's an adult, it seems like. It's comfortable, there's enough stuff to do to keep her from ( Read more... )

The problem with growing up in a small (very small) town is that things aren't as expensive. If your parents are out and you're a dollar short for a burger in the diner, Stevie's gonna cut you a break and let you bring it later. Things are always affordable, if it's a necessity ( Read more... )
