..:Street:.. ..Chicago's Alleys and Streets.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to ALL: Devon stumbled to her feet, her body aching from the rest on the cold, unforgiving pavement. She hoisted her heavy duffle bag onto her shoulder and glanced around the desolate alleyway. It was deserted, except for a lone rat scurrying through the shadows.
She had been running for days, ever since the chaos began in Carlisle. She had lost track of her friends when her phone had been stolen. Determined to find them, she had been pushing herself to the limit, her body screaming for respite as she traveled across state lines to another and another.
Summoning her resolve, she shuffled out of the alleyway and into the bustling streets. She had to find her friends, her family. She couldn't give up now, not when she was so close to finding them.

..:Street:.. ..Chicago's Alleys and Streets.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to Myth-tical Desires | : She moved along the sidewalk, ever aware, but a little more carefree than usual. Running a small errand for Alyx and Max. Her steps weren't hurried but she wasn't going slow either.
Tilting her head as she pauses at an intersection. Seeing you stumble from the alley. She sniffs the air as a breeze blows through the alley and towards her. Catching your scent.
She wasn't told to come right back. She moves along the street the same way you are, looking for a place to cross, but watching you. YOu seemed distressed. She knew what that was like so she didnt like it for others if she could help.

..:Street:.. ..Chicago's Alleys and Streets.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to Ecstacy's Prize ~|: Distress. Exhaustion. Uncertainty. She last knew Kennedy and Logan had come here. She'd later heard Nash was possibly coming here. Lincoln, she'd heard nothing from since the ....incident. Claire was gone, just as certainly as Mirabel. Of Anna, no one had heard anything. Was she with her husband? Had they gone back to Russia? thought why would they?
Had she ever told him about being a were? "don't think about it," she muttered to herself. Again she cursed herself for losing her only means of contacting them. How could she find them? As she hurried down the street, she caught sight of herself in the front glass window of a market, the reflection brought her to a stop as she turned to stare at herself. She was a right mess. "oh..lords.." as she touched her cheek. She looked like something the cat dragged in, ran over and spat up."

..:Street:.. ..Chicago's Alleys and Streets.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to Myth-tical Desires | : She likely didn't know any of the people you were looking for, but she could help you find the, maybe, if Alyx and Max agree, she could give you a safe place.. or just pay for a hotel room for you.
She didn't want to startle you or make you run scared. Not that she could. Yes she's a wolf, but not a were.
Crosing the street she moves along, heading towards you with the same nonchalant manner. At least that's what everyone, including you, would see or sense. That is until she got closer to where you stopped.
Speaking softly.
"Hi. Umm. Would you like some help?"
she doesn't hide that she knows your a wolf, but she doesn't blurt it out. You can tell she's a wolf too, but likely a shifter.
"There is a coffee shop nearby. If you want we can go there and talk and you can get a bit to eat."
she reaches a hand out for you to grab it if you so choose.

..:Street:.. ..Chicago's Alleys and Streets.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to Ecstacy's Prize ~|: Like anyone in her pack, they craved the touch of another. Even living with the humans, she often snuggled next to one or the other of them when watching movies, or even listening to music as they relaxed after work. As she saw the woman reach out her hand, she gripped it in a tight hold, almost shuddering from the emotion that filled her. "Coffee," she had an expression of longing, for it'd been weeks since her last cup of coffee. "Coffee, sounds wonderful." she managed to say through gruff tones.
"It'd been just as long since she'd spoken to anyone as it had been since she had a cup of coffee. "I'm....Devon," she cleared her throat as she spoke. "From...Washington." Actually as far west in Washington as one could get without being in the ocean.

..:just a random location:.. ..Somewhere in the city.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to Myth-tical Desires | : She too craved the touch of others. When she could, she would crave the touch of another wolf. But she had Alyx and now Max which would provide for that craving. Still she smiles brightly when you grip her hand. Pulling you to her, she wraps an arm around your back and keeps you close, guiding you to the coffee shop Smiling as you give her your name "Nice to meet you Devon. I'm Galadriel. or you can call me Gal. I just moved here a little while ago with my companion." she leads you to the door and opens it before guiding you inside and to a table. the waitress gives her a look she smiles "Two coffees. Leave the pot please." Letting you side across from her, but not making you let go of her hand (06/13/24 09:01:27 pm)

..:Street:.. ..Chicago's Alleys and Streets.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to Ecstacy's Prize ~|: She nearly moaned at the touch as Galadriel's arm moved to cradle her and she automatically mimicked the motion as they walked, she carrying her duffle now not on her shoulder but as if it were a light purse. "Galadriel, that's pretty," she said as she looked at her, then focused on the path in front of them. "Unusual too," she added.
As they entered the shop, she hesitated briefly at the door, inhaling deeply. She'd not had a decent cooked meal since leaving. "Smells wonderful," as they seated themselves at a table. The look she gave the coffee pot was one of pure hunger. Like most of them in Carlisle, they loved coffee and drank it as often as possible.

..:just a random location:.. ..Somewhere in the city.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to Myth-tical Desires | : She almost chuckled at the reaction to her arm moving around you. She figured you needed that touch more than you needed coffee. And if she could help, then she would. Thankfully the errand wasn't urgent so she didn't have to be back at a certain time, just before they woke up after the daytime tomorrow.
Smiling at the compliment.
"Thank you. My mother was a Tolkien fan so since I was the onl blonde when I was a baby, she felt it fit. As you can see, I didn't stay blonde."
She chuckles at that, still holding your hand as you sit across the from her. The waitress comes with two cups, and two pots of coffee. One she sets on the table, the other she pours the first cup for both.
smiling up to the Waitress
"Lisa, get her whatever she wants to eat."
She got the name from her nametag, with surprised Lisa that she called her by her name.
Two menus are set before us
"I'll be back in a few minutes to give you a chance to decide."
then Lisa leaves to tend to other tables. Giving your hand a squeeze
"Pick whatever you want. It's on me. So what brings you to Chicago?"

..:Street:.. ..Chicago's Alleys and Streets.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to Ecstacy's Prize ~|: She briefly scanned over the menu, ..."A....one?" asking as if that would too much money for the delux breakfast. The coffee, well, that cup was quickly taken into her hands, cupping it lightly as she brought the cup to her lips to sip cautiously at the hot liquid.
"so good," she almost laughed as she took another sip. "It's been a few weeks....." months, actually as the trip had taken longer than she expected. "I'm..." inhaling slightly before responding, "I'm looking for family. But, I don't know where they are." She didn't even know if they were actually in the city or if they were in the outskirts. "Others.." she added quietly.

..:just a random location:.. ..Somewhere in the city.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to Myth-tical Desires | : Her smile widens as you ask
"Have whatever you want. Don't worry about how much."
she takes a drink of coffee and smiles, nodding
"it is. They make good cofee and food in general here."
she listens as you speak and tilts her head in thought.
"Do you have a phone? Maybe a picture of one of them?"
tis' worth a shot. She'll help however she can. She takes out her own phone and books a room for you not far from where she is staying with Alyx and Max. She doesn't know how long they will be there though. (06/13/24 09:38:16 pm)

..:Street:.. ..Chicago's Alleys and Streets.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to Ecstacy's Prize ~|: she scoffed at herself. "I wish. I lost it when coming here. ..it felt out somewhere in Rockies." again she cursed herself for her inattention that day, she'd never have lost it had she been paying attention to where she was climbing. "Stupid mistake," she shook her head, self loathing evident. "But, they were coming here, at least three of them were. I don't know about the others," she admitted.
She stared down into the coffee cup, a bit of a sigh emerging. "I hate doing stupid things," and losing it was stupid. But, she had no choice but to keep coming this way, going back was not an option.

..:just a random location:.. ..Somewhere in the city.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to Myth-tical Desires | : She offers a comforting smile, reaches out to give your hand a squeeze, nodding.
"Well I'm sure we will find them. I will help you. What are their names?"
Though they hadn't been in the city long she had made some contacts in a few different places. Back to her phone for a moment she added a throw away phone to be delivered ready to use to the hotel.
When Lisa comes over to take your order she looks at the woman.
"Can I borrow your pen for a moment?"
Lisa gives it to her without hesitation. she writes on a piece of paper her name and phone number, but doesn't slide it over yet. She doesn't order anything, but lets you order whatever you want.
"Yeah we all do it though.You'll find them." (06/13/24 09:52:43 pm)

..:Street:.. ..Chicago's Alleys and Streets.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to Ecstacy's Prize ~|: She smiled at hand sqeeze, returning it gently . "that'd be Kennedy and Hunter...Nash." for those were the once she was certain sure of. "Maybe more, we were rather scatttered," that was putting it mildly,, they were run out on the rail
She looked up at the waitress, "hello...a..can I have a... 1..please
"Of course, anything else?"
"No, thank you though. she had polished up nearly all the cofffee in such a cup, taking up the pot to add more to the cup. She liked it better with milk, but today it was perfect as it was.
