Usually, Jo tries to stay clean around Jamal. He doesn't need to see her like that. She wants to be normal for him. Normal as she can be, at least ( Read more... )

Jo is doing a lot of stuff today.

Firstly, she's in Chinatown washing dishes. The owner of the restaurant doesn't speak much English, but that just means less questions and she pays in cash. She hasn't worked in a while, and she broke a few dishes ( Read more... )

It is a little past midnight and Francis Barnam is not in a bar. Due to Katja unimaginable forces, his trip to Michigan had to be put off by a couple of days, which meant all of his information was no good and he had to start all over. He stops at the first 7-11 he sees once he's back in Chicago proper, going inside. He's mostly cleaned up from his ( Read more... )

Obviously the answer to a broken little girl is for her to collect small children. Honestly, she probably shouldn't be anywhere near kids, but she can't help it. She hates to see people hurting and her time on the streets she runs across a lot of kids. More than is healthy for her. It breaks her heart. She wants to take care of all of them, keep ( Read more... )

It's another slow Monday mid-morning at Twice Sold Tales. Not quite so deadly as the last time the narration visited this establishment on a Monday morning; there are a few people hanging around the store. There just aren't as many as you'd find much later in the day ( Read more... )

[OOC: The epic. Let me show you it. Tag as much as you want with as many characters as you want. I'm crazy.]

9am: Elizabeth Jules has decided it's a good thing she started training with Aaron Barnam. Not that she expected to be assaulted by an undead wanderer on the sidewalks of Chicago three weeks after training started, but she's not dead, yet ( ( Read more... )

Grant Park, on any other day, could be called just a nice little park (or EPIC PARK, seeing as how it appears to have eaten Chicago) where people see other people and other people exercise and some people from different universes fall into Chicago ( Read more... )

It should be said that there is never actually a quiet day in Chicago. Ever. Somewhere, always, something is happening, and invariably that something has to do with explosives. It is Chicago, after all.

But there are a lot of people in Chicago, and so specific people can have quiet days. Take Michael Vaughn for instance, currently out and about ( Read more... )

A taxi rolls up to Grant Park and a demon named Metis steps out. He is barefoot and carrying a McDonalds bag, as well as a backpack and a cat carrier. He stands there for a minute and surveys the park, then the taxi driver leans out the window ( Read more... )

[OOC: Chris and I decided that Robin's carnival-infected glee could last for a week or so, because I haven't had a chance to post him in yet with everything going on and glee!Robin is a once in a never opportunity. Plus, we're going to guess that sex had something to do with it lasting.]

Robin is in a park feeding pigeons. He has been filled with ( Read more... )
