Who: Tad and Porter
Where: phone and around
When: Early Evening

Who: Jeri and Socko
Where: Socko's place
When: early evening

There was a careful control to the practice Socko had been putting himself through, one that was paying off bit by bit. Seated on the floor of his living room with his back against the sofa, Socko appeared to be staring pointedly into the screen of the television, which wasn't even on. The stereo was pulsing like a heartbeat with bass, a joint smoldered in the ashtray nearby, but Socko wasn't paying much attention to either of them.

who: doc and kayos
where: the Martens residence, back porch
when: later evening/night

Kayos had set up hotel accommodations for herself and Nemo, and she'd actually gone all ritzy-like and chosen the Landmark Inn. Which was probably far better than Nemo was used to and the like, but whatever. She didn't feel like going elsewhere, and it was closest to the building she was already having Teddy push through paperwork so she could own the damn thing. And by push through paperwork, she meant figure out how she could come up with a deed or something so she could start the renovations.

Dear Diary,

I am grumpy now so I will make this short. (And then I will go stomp on a miniature version of Tokyo rawr! Just kidding, I like Tokyo. And I'm not that grumpy.) But I totally had a headache, (BOO!) it was totally icky, for reals. But Reiz took care of me because he's awesome.

I feel kinda bad though, my room was a totally mess, like stuffed animals everywhere. I should really do a quick house clean before I let him in. In other news I talked to Billy, faithful fiancee to awesome magic shop lady and mother is going to be busy next week.

who: kayos and nemo
where: diner
when: late day

It was a crisp November morning when Nemo wandered down the main street. This new town felt different, smelt different. He wasn't quite sure how he got there, but something seemed to draw him. Still, no matter, if it turned out that he didn't like it then he could just move on.

who: caleb and isabelle
where: his house
when: late afternoon

Caleb was outside. He happened to be sitting on the porch, watching the last of the random guys bringing in furniture. Some chick was kind of directing them around, and he? Well, he was staying the shit out of that situation. He assumed that Math had arranged things, and it was just sort of weird to see it in progress. New things, that basically looked to him like someone else's life.

Who: Nic and OPEN
Where: streets around town
When: early evening

Not many people would enjoy spending their Saturday alternating between being elbow deep in a car's engine and straining beneath it, but in that regard (among others) Nic wasn't most people. She was making real progress on Caleb's car, Ash had everything they would need to do the repair work, and if they were lucky? Almost all of it would be done this weekend.

Who: Amy and Billy
Where: Over the phone
When: Evening-ish

Near as I can tell, Kurt Petersen was born in a small farming village on the outskirts of Dresden in 1907. He showed up on the Health Ministry's records in November of that year, though a great deal of records from that era through '45 were lost during the second World War. What I know is this:

Who: Doc and Eris
Where: Babylon
When: Late

who: dean and thia
where: their place
when: evening

Who: Billy and Maddie
When: Late morning
Where: Their house

Last minute preparations were being made for the wedding tomorrow. It was only going to be small - a mere handful of people. Neither the bride nor the groom wanted a big show, just a small, intimate ceremony at their place. Billy had spent the morning in town and come back with a truck full of food, flowers and cake. Small though the ceremony and celebration was going to be, and limited though their budget was, they still wanted to do things properly.

who: Isabelle and Thom
where: MSHS
when: early afternoon

Who: Amy and Reiz
When: Around Lunchtime
Where: Amy's Apartment

"Of course Mom," Amy said into the phone. She could feel a headache starting, right at the base of her skull, curling, throbbing, pinching.

"Its just with Jupiter the way it is now, and the resort with the surge of guests, it'll just be hard, I won't have any time, you understand, don't you dear?"

"Yes Mom."

"Take care of yourself then, I have to head off before I'm late for my six o' clock aromatherapy session."

Who: Grayson and Jocelyn
Where: Babylon
When: Evening

Depressed didn't even come close to covering how Jocelyn was feeling all afternoon while she tried to trudge through her shift at Babylon. In the end she'd broken at least three glasses and gotten more than several dirty looks from both patrons and coworkers. She was in a haze and couldn't seem to find her way out of it.

who: kayos and math
where: babylon
when: afternoon

After bugging out on Doc and Jocelyn, Kayos had been generally wandering around town, looking around, getting herself familiar with the area, which...being there wasn't a whole lot of area to be familiar with, and she'd been to the Marquette in her own reality, it was pretty easy going. She was looking for a warehouse, though, which was going to be harder to find. She either needed to find herself a good one, or start looking at some of the old buildings that were all abandoned-like and buy one of them and start renovating the shit out of it. Warehouses were just easier in general to renovate, because they were wide open spaces to begin with. Plus, people paid a lot less attention to them, but oh well. Either way, she needed something, because after the vibe she'd gotten from Jocelyn that shit was her territory, she was just going to be taking that not so subtle hint.

Who: Doc, Jocelyn, and Kayos
Where: The safehouse
When: late morning

Who: Medea and Skye
Where: The Mall
When: Early Afternoon

Who: Amy and Reiz.
Where: Grocery store!
When: Morning.

Believe it or not, Reiz did do some regular day-to-day activities. He'd had to depend on himself his whole life, so things like grocery shopping or cleaning clothes, he had to do himself.

who: kaysen and tad
where: graevaraet middle school
when: midday

Kaysen was out. She didn't feel like being home, since things were still massively tense, Isaac was still leaving, and there wasn't a single good place to be in that house. So, she'd taken off. She'd grabbed her board, and was going to do some really stupid skateboarding in the snow. Down steps. And just general mind numbing shit. Whatever, she just wanted things to be over.

Who: Pandect
When: 7:30 am
Where: Lamplighter Motel

From: Error
To: Frontdesk@Lamplighter.com
Subject: Hello

Hello. How are you today?

Pandect took a moment to stare at the computer, the message had a sort of odd quality to it, and of course Pandect was resolutely suspicious. But then there was his patented curiosity, it had become strong now that he felt safe, here in Marquette, against his better judgment. He didn't really know that much about computers anyway, just the basics, like how to open Solitaire.

Who: Jerilyn
Where: her bedroom
When: about 8:00am

Jeri was bored. She wasn't feeling all up to going to the gym - lately she'd been skipping it more and more, and that wasn't good for her, but whatever. She figured that since her weekly game day was changed to Sunday this week (a couple of her friends had prior commitments), she'd bother Socko and get some weed. But that would be later; it was still too early yet.

So Jeri was at her desk, doing her usual just wandering the internet with her messangers on.

Hello. How are you today?
