Late night walks were probably the worst part of having a dog, and such a big one at that. Daniel was ready to go to bed, but of course, his goofy furball was more energetic than ever as he half dragged Daniel along the sidewalk. His phone rang in his pocket, causing him momentarily distraction just long enough for Rufus to take off and beg for the attention of the person attempting to walk past them. Daniel shoved his phone back into his pocket and pulled Rufus back to him. “I’m sorry, he’s just saying hi.” He apologized with a small laugh.

"Okay, so the sign says no trespassing, so what?" She asked with a shrug and an expression that screamed how unconcerned she was. "There's supposed to be an abandoned circus back there," She motioned behind herself with her thumb. "Wouldn't it be so fucking dope to go there and like do tarot or something, might be haunted. It's gonna be so cool. Don't let a sign tell you where you can and can't go, the land is just as much yours and mine as it is Big Brothers."

Andi was still extremely sore in his back, ribs and shoulders. He had only just arrived in Chicago a few days ago. Having to leave so suddenly left him with only the items he could fit in his horribly vandalized car. He head moved in with no furniture, so he was out looking for a good place to get at least a mattress. “Excuse me?” He said softly as he tapped someone on the shoulder. “Oh jeez... I’m sorry... I thought you worked here.” He said, face flushed as he realized his mistake.

She sighed, as she perused the homework assignments she’d been handed back. It was obvious to her who had done their homework and those of whom had parents that felt the need to coddle their children. In such cases, she gave the assignments a passing grade. It wasn’t the child’s fault their parents were dunderheads, and she wasn’t about to punish them for it. She picked up a Twizzler and peeled off a strip of the red, vine-y goodness before popping it into her mouth with a thoughtful frown.

Walking along the cold and icy walkway, Daniel looked for his next stop. That’s when he passed the “snow bowl” booth, which was just a game where you threw a white ball at a bunch of glass milk jugs. He wasn’t interested in the prizes, but he did want to get one just for the satisfaction of winning so he stepped up and paid for a turn. Of course, he knocked all of the glass bottles down on the first try and soon enough he was five turns in and had won a giant snowman for his endeavors. Turning around with it in his hands, he called the attention of the next person walking by. “Hey, would you like a snowman?” He asked with a smile, holding it out in an offering.

Now this was what Revel called a party. Dang this place had gone all out and she was living for it. The atmosphere was amazing and knowing that the slinky dress she was wearing would most definitely not get parental approval made things even better. Flipping her braids back over her shoulder on the one side, Revel slid into a gap between a couple of people at the bar, not really paying attention to who she was stood next to. “Vodka martini please,” she ordered.

It was that time of the year. Where people slowed down and time sped up, barreling us towards the new year whether we were ready or not. Shops were deserted as everyone recovered from the economic hit of Christmas and the streets were empty, families enjoying the warmth. It was a peaceful time and one of Jo's favorites. The warm fries in her hand was a blessing in the cold weather. 

    - 'Its starting to look a bit like a ghost town, huh?' she asked the person next to her, a small smile.

Christmas was never something that was celebrated in the Lewe household growing up. However, starting in high school, Joanna loved going to the city's holiday celebrations. She particularly loved the ice skating rink that was only there this time of the year. That is exactly where she was now, skating freely but not necessarily gracefully around the rink. She heard a shout, a child expressing their joy of being in the snow, and was distracted enough that she bumped into someone else.          -"I am very sorry," the apology very sincere as she reached to steady both of them. "Skating on ice wit a lot of people is not the time to be distracted." It was a small attempt at a joke, and she hoped it smoothed over any ruffled feathers.
