poor Brent with his journal hijacked for plots

Namely, the plots of Deena's Bad Day and Meanwhile, In Chicago.

Deena's Bad Day, we discussed a little... in the last post, over plurk, over text, and in-person, so this is my attempt to get everyone on the same page. I'm thinking it would be consisting of the Loathsome Lunchbox invasion, getting Deena, Darnell, and Sam and possibly one or two other individuals introduced to each other, and kinda-sorta allied. It's hard to spend a couple of hours cooperating to chase down little robots without finding yourself on fairly friendly terms (probably).

The aftermath of Deena's Bad Day would/could see Darnell investigating the origin of Lunchbox 0 (a statement which makes so little sense out of context, man) and eventually concluding it came from Chicago... where he should go continue his investigation, despite the fact Sam's warned her favourite checker away from Chicago.

"When you said I should stay out of Chicago... what part?"

That would be the point at which Sam directs Darnell to the Currans, (telling him to tell them she sent him and he's on the level) before showing up herself and passing word to Deena. Like Deena, their business serves as a neutral zone/safe space for the occult underground; since she's a friend of their family, she's willing to bank on their helping... at least to the extent of providing a place to meet up/work out of, and helping Darnell stay out of trouble.


Problem #1: Who is the clockworker responsible for Lunchbox 0?
Problem #2: Anybody volunteering to play the clockworker responsible for Lunchbox 0?
Problem #3, a problem for the characters: What to do with the clockworker responsible for Lunchbox 0? If, of course, he or she is successfully located. and not actually 200 bugs in a human suit, or something

I'm actually kinda laughing now bc I just did a thread recently where Stephen was actually commenting on how little mystical trouble actually crops up in Wal-Marts.

Clearly he jinxed it.

Now Deena's just like "You had to say it, didn'tcha?"

HE'S SORRY OKAY. SOMEONE ASKED HIM IF HE'D EVER HAD TROUBLE THERE AND HE SAID NO.

TO BE FAIR

It's still going better than a typical bull session for Sam and Breakdown

Not hard if we're being honest.
