Where: The Hotel
When: Feb. 14, 1929, Evening
Warnings: TBA
Notes: This post will be done party post style. See this post for more details!

All was quiet on the North Side on St. Valentine's Day. A party was set up in a hotel ballroom on the North Side of town, red paper hearts attached to the walls and a banner declaring "Happy St. Valentine's Day!" hung from the buffet table by hotel workers. People exchanged cards in the street and put their cards in the mail, gathering at friends' houses for parties and meeting lovers everywhere from board rooms to back alleys. This was a day for lovers, not for bloodshed.

Well. At least for now.

Alright, kiddies! Let's rewrite some history.

Where: Chicago, 1920's.

( if the fire's out baby, how you gonna keep me warm? )

Who: Trenton and Isobel
What: Being mistaken for famous is hard work.
Where: All around Chicago
When: Day 3
Warnings: Uhm. It's Trenton and Isobel. Isn't that warning enough?

( Let's paint this town red. )

Who: Miles, Shane, Jasper, Aiden, Lone, Deirdre, Joss, and Anya. Phew!
What: Jailbreak.
Where: The jail.
When: Day 3, early morning.
Warnings: TBA
Notes: You can now feel free to get going on your threads. You can find more information in the plot post!

The people in the cells around the Bellum tenants had thinned during the day and swelled again at night, many coming in dressed in evening wear as they had, though more of them were intoxicated. The police were non-responsive to inquiries about how long it would be before they were charged.

Then three new men were thrown into the men's holding cell in the early hours of the morning on the third day of their forced visit to the 20's. Dawn was a short ways off on the morning of February 14, 1929, and a massacre that would make history had yet to happen. Not long off, though, not long at all.

Who: Aiden, Lone, Deirdre, Joss, and Anya.
What: Jailtime for the five people who picked the wrong door to run out.
Where: A Chicago jail, two separate cells.
When: Between 1 and 2 in the morning after the raid
Warnings: Probably nothing extensive.

( maybe we should raise our voices, ask somebody why; but demonstrations are a drag )

Who: Shane, Cole and Ileana
What: Post-raid wandering and planning
Where: The streets of 1929 Chicago then presumably somewhere warm
When: Late, nearing sunrise
Warnings: None

( At least they hadn't been arrested )

Who: Trenton & Isobel & [whomever would like to show their shining faces]
What: Post speakeasy-escape, reconvening on the street and then catching some warmth inside a local diner while plans are made.
Where: Chicago, 1929.
When: Late, nearing sunrise to after sunrise.
Warnings: N/A.
Notes: Like I said, if any of the escapees wants to join them, feel free. Or forever hold your peace.

( It could be worse, we could be in the middle of the French revolution. )

( VALENTINE'S DAY MASSACRE (δ)  )

Who: Group Delta
What: The Raid! Group Delta Arrival Log
Where: Chicago, IL
When: Feb. 11, 1929
Warnings: TBA
Notes: The log is now ready for tagging! Start whenever you like. See Group Delta’s Plot Post for more details! Keep in mind that this post will have comments shut down around this time tomorrow, and is only for tags during the visit to the speak. Any other logs in the following two days are yours to create.

12:01 on Saturday, June 19, Bellum’s tenants should have been asleep in their beds. Some of them, no doubt, were awake, and would have seen the flash that left them standing with fifteen of the building’s other residents, dressed in a period out of the past, in the middle of a party like no other.
