J E N N Y F L I N T Family is family...and made in the heart, not just the blood Chicago , The Presidium ..:Street:.. ..Chicago's Alleys and Streets.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to ALL: Well, well, well. Jenny Flint, she asked herself silently. What are you doing here?
The questions ricocheted in her mind as she adjusted her coat, a needless article of clothing in the heat wave Chicago was under. She slid out of the cab at the corner of Wells and Wacker, tossing a bill to the driver with little regard for how much she’d given him. She could catch the figure out of the corner of her eye...the irritated glance he shot her way as he folded the bill. But she didn’t care. She was here now, and that was what mattered.
With a measured breath, she turned her gaze skyward. Well, if nothing else, Americans knew how to build skyscrapers. The towering structures gleamed under the fading evening sun, their glass and steel bodies reaching voraciously toward the heavens. She felt momentarily comforted by their enormity; it was as if they were keeping secrets she didn’t yet know. (08/28/24 09:12:20 pm) Someone's Prey
Kelly Human Waitress ..:Street:.. ..Chicago's Alleys and Streets.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to Sorrows Silent Fury : It was hot and she was if questioned just kind of killing time up town, waiting for her shift to start , so she was dressed for work but not ready to head into work. She was a local so the city scape was all she knew. She wore a short black skirt a white t shirt , her flame red hair tied back in a pony tail. She was at 5 foot 9 taller than most but she looked like what she was a twenty something person working a minimum wage job a nobody a nothing. The kind of person most would dismiss and well she was kind of hoping for that. She was not quiet the nice little loser everyone took her for..

J E N N Y F L I N T Family is family...and made in the heart, not just the blood Chicago , The Presidium ..:Street:.. ..Chicago's Alleys and Streets.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to Someone's Prey KellyHuma: The postcard she'd tucked in her pocket imparted only the intriguing address...2675 South Michigan Avenue. Her mind wrapped around it, though doubt crept in; what on earth was she doing here? The echoes of years swallowed in memories rushed back: long-suppressed family disputes, generational feuds, and the branches of a family tree that had grown tangled over the decades, like creeping vines reclaiming a forgotten structure; filled as it was with both the dead and the living roaming the earth.
She blinked against the warm wind, shaking away the doubt. She hadn’t seen her family in years, and now, rummaging through the whispers and hearsay, she’d learned that they were here, in this sprawling metropolis. The rumors had dripped into her world...like droplets of blood on unsuspecting snow...until they became impossible to ignore.
Her nose twitched, the scent of the truly dead reaching her nose with an acrid burning taint. The fresh dead was tolerable. The decayed, bloated mess that exploded in the heat....that was never an appetizing aroma.
She gave a shudder beneath her coat, idly rubbing her gloved fingers over her nose as she scanned up and down the street only half aware of the flame haired woman. She could have stayed with the cab, but his stench was only half as oppressive as the dead she scented. "you," her tone not quite imperious, but certainly commanding, as she withdrew the postcard from her pocket. "come here".

..:Street:.. ..Chicago's Alleys and Streets.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to Sorrows Silent Fury : She turned at the voice a kind of voice that sort brought out the worst in her. She looked at the woman and bit back her first instinctive response (fuck off bitch). and did actual walk up to her, because well instinctively she was a people pleaser despite all that life had taught her. Still she lifted an eye brow to indicate a level of mild annoyance / amusement at being summoned so. "can I help you"

J E N N Y F L I N T Family is family...and made in the heart, not just the blood Chicago , The Presidium ..:Street:.. ..Chicago's Alleys and Streets.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to Someone's Prey KellyHuma: The streets of Chicago alive with the sounds of laughter, sirens, and the pulse of life and death. She stood against a lamppost, feeling the weight of the city swirl around her like the folds of her black coat. Her British accent...smooth and melodic on her best days, rougher on the others...had turned heads since her arrival, but inside she was a storm of memories and shadows.
She watched the woman she called, noting how she seemed to strut down the sidewalk with an air of confidence that betrayed nothing but allure. The woman wore a short skirt that glimmered darkly under the fading light and long legs that caught the eye of passersby. Jenny didn’t look away, her gaze lingering for just a moment too long and ignored the taint of irritation the woman gave off. It brought a smile to her lips.
The woman approached, and as she did, Jenny asked. "Are you familiar with this address?", her voice warm and inviting, holding a postcard that glimmered like treasure in her hand. She turned it so the woman could read the address scrawled across the front.

says to Sorrows Silent Fury :
she was pretty, she worked in hospitality she was use to men's gaze lingering on her it was less common for woman to do so and the novelty gave her a thrill and then when the woman spoke she spoke she almost forgave her, her accent melted her. Or maybe she had a well know weakness for bad boys and maybe one could add entitled bitches to her type who knew. She lent forward to read the address if she smelt of anything it was soap and shampoo a slight scent of vanilla maybe it was the perfume she used. "yeh I know it, You new in town? You need to go to the subway South take the second stop then 2 blocks down its the third building down the second alley got it?" She watched you face and laughed "you want me to show you?" then as soon as teh words left her lips she thought why did I offer will she think I am weird and her pale flesh flushed red at the thought you may rebuff her offer

says to Someone's Prey KellyHuma:
Jenny lazily lifted an arm, signaling for a taxi. Questions raced through her mind—who was this woman, and what secrets lay beneath her demeanor? The woman radiated danger and allure alike, a combination that felt strangely magnetic. Or was it the hitch of breath and the quickening heartbeat? The rush of blood that sang in the woman's veins?
All were aphrodisiacs to a vampire.
"Wonderful," she replied in that same melodic tone, a casual smile and lazy look in her eyes as she continued to look nearly eye level to the woman. Spiked heels had their advantage when one was shorter than most average men.
"Subway south," she glanced to the left and right. "which direction is that?" she was asking when the woman offered to guide her. "Really?" Her smile widened as she breathed in the scent of the blood rushing to the woman's cheeks.
