It's an explosive evening in Chicago.

...no, really.

Daniel Faraday's had a little accident with his lab, you see. He didn't quite blow it up completely, but the flash of light that he unintentionally produced was pretty epic.

That was a little earlier. Now, he's outside the Conrad, looking a little shaken but otherwise okay. His brain hasn't cooked ( Read more... )

Luka Petrovic is just leaving the O's headquarters.  She'd been grilling Duncan about the whereabouts of one Jason Randall, a.k.a. J, without much success.  After telling him to keep an eye out and call her cell phone if he got any leads, she's stalking out of the building to go find him herself.  She has a Christmas present for him, and she is ( Read more... )

At exactly midnight on October 26th, 2009, something that's been lying in wait since Flagg's death earlier in the day grips Chicago tightly. It's been building to this moment all day, a sharp feeling that most will dismiss as anxiety from the television broadcast. It's just leftover trauma- nothing more, nothing less ( Read more... )

Someone in the Conrad basement's common room is playing electric guitar and belting out "Carry On Wayward Son" at the top of his lungs. He's quite good, actually, but there's one problem.

Well, two problems.

1) He's drunk.
2) There's no guitar.

He's playing air guitar, you see. Actually, literally, for real playing air guitar.

Chuck has no idea what's ( Read more... )

Somewhere in the Conrad's basement, Daniel Faraday is flitting about like a hummingbird on speed. This is an overused simile, yes, but it's not very far from the truth - he's caffeinated and inspired and when he enters Mad Scientist Mode like this, he eventually morphs in to an ( 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... )

There are two people near the library today. One is The Baron, who is currently seated on the library steps, chomping down on a green apple. The other is Daniel Faraday, who is actually inside, looking for something new and exciting to read. His search isn't really going so well.

This, he supposes, is why he isn't really a fan of fiction. There are ( Read more... )

Jamie had never really pondered his life much. Certainly, there wasn't much to ponder. His life could be best described as fair to middling, really. He had what his patron considered the gift of seeing - but most of what there was to see was so ordinary and bland as to not be worth the time taken to consider it.

Take, for example, his father. To be ( Read more... )
