Never Ending

Who: Brett and Moira
Where: Rock Bottom
When: PM
Brett was less than impressed - not that that was a particularly huge change of mood for him or anything, but having been up all night with one of the Jade Lotus outfits waiting for a shipment to come in, it felt like he'd hardly crawled back into bed before some bastard had been hammering at the door telling him that 'Mr O'Malley needed his ass down at Rock Botoom to help out'. As if they didn't have enough people who could have done that crap and left him to get some actual shut eye.
And so it was that the Brett that turned up at the bar was an even more dishevelled, crumpled, moody-looking man than normal. He'd dragged last night's clothes back on again, even though they were still damp from the spray off the water overnight, and he hadn't shaved, which made that three days worth of stubble and counting. He ran a hand over the scruff as he looked around, trying to figure out who was in charge of the damn place, so he could figure out what he was needed to do, do it, and fuck off home again.

Who: Molly open to all
When: Early morning
Where: Anywhere (a wandering,possibly area of Nighthawks Diner)
The world was bright and the gray was light. Molly spun around once more as she walked down the street, her heels click-clicking on the sidewalk. Dirt where the sidewalks met with buildings, mating, dirt could grow things, if seeded properly. Flowers in the almost sunshine.
Hope is a Thing with Wings

He was in the office, although it was late and most of the building was empty. His tie was off and hanging on the coat rack next to the door, his shirt unbuttoned, his desk scattered with papers and only a single desk light lit the room. The radio was playing in the background softly, a local station with national news reports, but mostly just soft classical or jazz otherwise. Danny was used to nights like this when his daughter was at her mom's.
Messy details

Who: Jakob and open to Garret and Danny
Where: The police station
When: midday
As always, the station house was buzzing with sounds of life; fresh collars coming in off the streets, muted clanging of cell doors opening and shutting, and the yell and holler of the people who were paid to handle it all. For once, at least, there was a quieter spot in the maelstrom.
Final preparations

Who: Moira and Anya, then Moira and Dutch
When: Morning
Where: The not-yet open Rock Bottom
Moira swore in Gaelic as the muscle lowered her back into her chair. Whoever's job it was to put the permanent ramps in obviously still hadn't gotten around to it yet. And they'd removed the temporary ones? Someone would definitely pay for that oversight. A woman of her stature, having to be carried into her own business like an invalid. Reaching down, she adjusted the blanket on her lap and shrugged off the bodyguard who attempted to push her chair. "I can do it, you big idiot!"
TIME UPDATE
Submitted by mods on Thu, 09/10/2009 - 14:01.
Weather: It's a brighter day today, almost sunshiney, with the occasional breaks of blue sky, though that's short lived. And seeming to make up for the daytime managing to be bright, torrential, heavy, violent rainstorms sweep the city after dark. Power outages are common, and some of the seedier parts of the city lose power and it doesn't return at all overnight.
Events: There are still rumors spreading like wildfire throughout the city about the supposed crazed killer stalking the streets. Seems everyone has a theory about it, though nothing's confirmed. The paper runs a story, that brings up all of the female 'missing persons' that have disappeared over the past few months, asking for any information regarding their whereabouts. Photographs have been provided when possible, though there's quite a few on the list that are only a first and last name, and in some cases, only a nickname was available and a vague description. People are urged to contact the police with any information regarding anyone listed, or any information that could help lead to an arrest. So far, no reward has been attached to it.
For the police's side, they're shaking down lower level mob members for any information they can get.
Dreams: For the waking, tonight’s dream hits hard and fast once more. Events are focused around the decommissioning of all nuclear facilities over the world – both weapons-based and energy-based. Facilities had already been run down to a bare minimum in any event, as people abandon work in favour of living in peace and harmony. On a national and international level, there is much talk about how to dispose of the existing and remaining nuclear waste and products.
If you have any events or anything going on which you think warrants a mention in the time update, please let us know!
