Who: Catalina Reyes and Kelsey Lark
What: Lina gets a night off, so sheâs trying to relax.
Where: Happy Endings, Chicago
When: Saturday, November 11th
Warnings: Linaâs salty attitude
Chicago wasnât the most familiar city Lina had ever been in but she felt like it was time for a change of pace. With the way things had worked out at the Agency she was covering more shifts, not so much because there was a need for her to, but more because she didnât trust some of the goofballs to do it correctly and there had been that one time she hadnât been on shift and her friends got infected by a biological weapon. If she had been the one hit, maybe they would have survived and her metabolism would have been strong enough to fight the pathogen off. It was a false sense of responsibility, but one that sheâd always find difficult to shrug off.
Tonight sheâd been absolutely denied any overtime and practically ordered to go somewhere and enjoy herself. Whether that was at home or elsewhere. She had opted for elsewhere. Her new place in Anaheim still didnât quite feel like home and probably never would. It lacked the homey feel of a family that her auntâs place had, the whole building was kinda spartan, but that was the way they seemed to build them these days and she wasnât going to get much better for the same price. So with her home still feeling too lonely to hang out in she had gone out and just for fun, sheâd chosen to fly across the country. The Capitol Club in LA felt too tame for her tonight and sheâd heard about a few places in Chicago so she figured sheâd check them out. Besides, if it was possible for her to drink enough to make it unsafe to fly back home, there was MTN there. It wasnât anything like Bumfuck, Wisconsin. She wouldnât be stranded out here for the night.
With three fingers shoved into pockets on either side of her shorts, she strolled through the streets taking in the new places for the first time. She had options in this place. There was Here&Gone a club strictly for reincarnates with powers, a description she fit, and there was Happy Endings which she had been assured just sounded worse than it was. It was a real toss-up, it sounded like sheâd enjoy Here&Gone, but the exclusivity factor made it seem more desirable than it necessarily was and if she thought that, she was sure as hell everyone else did as well which meant it was likely to be crowded. She was feeling a little bit more like she wanted to just sit and chill for a while. Maybe a little dancing. Maybe sheâd try out both places. In either case, Happy Endings seemed like the better place to start with. Lina pulled her phone out of her jacket pocket and scrolled through it to find her directions again, then made a turn. By happenstance, she was only a block away.
When she made it through the door, she took a look around, her lip raising into a sneer which had something to do with the idea running through her head that she was only doing this because sheâd been told to. It didnât sit right with her, but now that she was here she might as well stay and have a drink at least. Sighing, she rolled her eyes at herself and turned to the bar, leaning her forearms on the edge of it while she waited for a bartender to come up to her. Glancing over her shoulder as she waited, she noticed that the place wasnât exactly empty, but it wasnât so crowded as to make her absolutely hate every decision that had caused her to come here. Perhaps she could let loose a little and enjoy herself. Hell, Holly was fucking managing it like a pro. She could too.
