In a bar somewhere in the heart of Chicago, there's a man playing pool and winning. You know this, because he's being very loud and boisterous about it and possibly because Tyler knows this, but that's neither here nor there. Gray Raines has the night off, although he has his beeper hooked to his belt and he figures any minute now his fun is going ( Read more... )

In Grant Park, hidden in the shade of a group of trees, there's an angry hellhound. Missy's been spending her nights in her behemoth form, sleeping in the shade of the trees and picking off nighttime strollers when she can find them. She's actually in the process of chewing on the remains of one of those said strollers, her teeth and muzzle, ( Read more... )

Sydney is standing in the lobby of the Kashtta, hanging near the doors where she'll be able to see Vaughn coming from down the street. This should have been dealt with already, and now... She's done with this. She's so done, and just as soon as she's sure Vaughn's alright, she's going to kill that demon. ...She's just still not clear on the how ( Read more... )

She's been here a couple days, and isn't sure she's going to stay, but ( Read more... )

((OOC: Another party thread. You know how it goes. And if you don't... ask! ^^ Happy Riftversary! Even if it's two hours until... it's over. :/ I'm sorry I'm slow ( Read more... )

In the Kashtta Tower, a few things have happened.

There's the distinct smell of smoke coming from the kitchen, but it's all right, nothing is burning there any more. What's more disturbing is that Owen's morgue seems to have rusted - or rotted, as there's quite a lot of congealing and somewhat-acidic blood on the walls, ceiling, and floor -  ( Read more... )

Michael Vaughn is a stupid, stupid Boy Scout ( Read more... )

[[OOC: Okay, kids. Have your Christmas Ball. ^^ Given that 'tis the season for traveling and holiday stress, you can probably expect the whole kaboodle to be slowtimed to Hell, but the important thing is that it's here for you to throw your kids in. Mix and mingle, make new friends, and have fun! Remember, this takes place on December 24, so any ( Read more... )

In Chicago, there is a bank. In fact, there are many banks in Chicago. This one is noteworthy in the fact that it houses Black December, the Organization's infamous terrorist cell, which means it only looks like an ordinary bank in theory. Inside... Well, okay, it's still an ordinary bank until you realize that the main elevators only go up seven ( Read more... )
