Universe: Normal Rift!verse
Time: Present day, dusk
Place: Grant Park
Characters: Colin Grace; OPEN

The sun hasn't quite set over Chicago tonight, but it's almost there. Just on the edges of the park is a man and his guitar. He's leaning back against a tree, his brimmed hat is down over his eyes, and a raw and quiet tune is emerging from his lips. His fingers tumble over the strings of his guitar slowly, as he pours his heart into his song. It's sad and mournful and speaks of all the lost things, something everyone in Chicago can identify with.

He looks like a homeless man. He looks like the kind of guy most people would pass by without a second glance, the kind of guy most people wouldn't even want to stop and speak to. He doesn't have a cup or an open guitar case begging for change, he's just here, giving his song to the city as it whirls around him. He doesn't even care if anyone stops to notice he's here.

Universe: Normal Rift!verse
Time: Present day
Place: Outside the Kashtta
Characters: Burton "Gus" Guster (for Shawn Spencer, but OPEN)
Note: Happy Birthday, Emily! Have a Gus! XD Just consider it one step closer to where you want him.

Good morning, Chicago. Outside of the Kashtta there is one Burton Guster standing on the sidewalk. A boom box is held high above his head, with one of the greatest songs of all time blaring out of it. And yes, he may just be wearing a brown colored trench coat as well. This is serious business.

Gus has been in Chicago for two very long, very rough days. There was an attack by something he couldn't even identify, and it's not something he really wants to talk about. It was traumatic. What matters is that Gus knows where he is, and he knows the bigger point of the Rift and what it does to people. The even more important part is that he discovered this morning that Shawn Spencer is also in Chicago. See, Gus knew about the Kashtta, but he was hesitant before about going there. He heard about these CLF people, and they don't sound like people he wants to get in the way of. But then this morning he found out that not only is Shawn in Chicago, but he's staying at the Kashtta. This is the kind of thing that Gus really can't ignore.

This is why he's where he is. Standing on the sidewalk, with the greatest song of all time, waiting for his best friend.

Don't leave him hanging, Shawn.
