There was something off.

And it wasn't just this goddamn town.

As Jasmine listened to a woman named Neko start... there was something that made absolutely [i]no [/i] goddamn sense. Then Charlie told everyone about [i]her[/i] Eleanor Black, and then the others did - Jasmine listened but what caught her attention was those two. Just [i]how[/i] could Eleanor be a mother, a daughter [i], and[/i] her football rival? It didn't make any sense... Though, it was nice to not only have another European here but another [i]black[/i] European, that was probably where the similarities ended, that said. Jasmine considered if she didn't need coffee but instead needed some alcohol - but the [i]last[/i] place she wanted to get drunk was Swamp Town USA as some people. When Olivia finished, Jasmine figured that it was maybe her turn to speak.

[color=saddlebrown]"Hello everybody, my name is [i]Jasmine Tsega[/i],"[/color] Jasmine spoke... her German accent was [i]thick[/i] with every word that she spoke - making it dead clear to the group that Jasmine was [i]not[/i] an American despite living here. [color=saddlebrown]"I'm going to be quick and to the point; Eleanor was my rival in high school and on the football team in which [i]I[/i] was the star player until she came along..."[/color]

She looked between Neko and Charlie for a few moments... and then the bushes rustle outside that open window. Jasmine turned her head to see that it was just a crow, perched onto the windowsill for some reason. The birds must be bold around here. It was irrelevant because there was something on her mind that she just had to get out.

[color=saddlebrown]"But, that's not important what she was to me,"[/color] Jasmine started her speech, [color=saddlebrown]"How can Eleanor Black be someone's daughter-"[/color] She pointed at Neko, [color=saddlebrown]"...Someone's mother-"[/color] She pointed at Charlie, [color=saddlebrown]"...His girlfriend-"[/color] She pointed at Eugene, [color=saddlebrown]... His ex-[/color] She pointed at Jordan, [color=saddlebrown]"... This spooky girl's friend-"[/color] She pointed at Nori, [color=saddlebrown]"... [i]Her[/i] best friend-"[/color] She pointed at Olivia. [color=saddlebrown]"... A doctor-"[/color] She pointed at Harmony before she put a hand on her chest and finished with. [color=saddlebrown]"[i]... And[/i] my rival? At the same time? Then is replaced with a different person. That doesn't make sense to [i]anyone[/i] else here. Not one single person?"[/color]

She raised an eyebrow as there was someone just hovering over nearby - some tall, Spanish lady - not saying a word. Nobody else noticed, but Jasmine did, and she found it very concerning that she was just sitting there watching them like a weirdo.

[color=saddlebrown]"... And who might you be?"[/color] Jasmine asked her. [color=saddlebrown]"Come now, introduce yourself if you're going to sit so close to us."[/color]

Lily was keeping her mouth shut during the whole thing, merely twiddling her thumbs - playing with a plastic fork and spinning it around in that toxic waste this place calls [i]coffee[/i]. A colorful bunch of people was gathered here, Lily had to admit, but it was clear that there was [i]something[/i] else going on here. Lily didn't know what exactly it was but it reminded her of her little... "incident" with Rafael. That was just her imagination and Lily knew that this was just one big coincidence and they were all just mixing up the same person. Maybe. Maybe not. Lily just kept her mouth shut as she wanted to be the last one to go - but there was this one weird girl that was just sitting there not saying anything... but Lily figured that she might be shy. She was the only other Spanish person here, she wanted to say something but there was something more pressing on Lily's mind.

And it was pie.

This crazy-looking black girl was offering pie and introduced herself as Ophrenia. Lily smirked as she had to be from some yuppie-ass city as a girl like this would get eaten alive in New York. Though, to be fair New York was no stranger to yuppies. She raised her hand and was handed a slice of the pie [color=Mediumorchid]"Ahhh, chica, for me? Thank you,"[/color] Lily started as she took a bite, [color=Mediumorchid]"I prefer my pasties spiced a bit, you know... I like it [i]edible[/i]."[/color] She winked at Orphenia as she realized that it was her turn to speak and tell everyone about "her" Eleanor Black.

Now the [i]last[/i] thing that Lily wanted to do was announce to a group of white people that she was in jail so she made a few edits to her story. [color=Mediumorchid]"Hi everybody! I'm Lily... well, my real name is Carmen but everyone calls me Lily. Eleanor Black was my friend that went to jail after she beat some bitch teeth in - like curb stomped the hoe - and I told her I was going to pick her up when she got out... and when I showed up, it was a [i]completely[/i] different girl. Makes my head hurt."[/color]

Then she thought about the whole situation.

[color=Mediumorchid]"... [i]All[/i] of this is making my head hurt."[/color]

Everyone went on about their stories about Eleanor Black save for two... Jennifer did not have the time or patience to wait around and bug people who missed the assignment. Jennifer wanted to get a move on now that the majority of the group had introduced themselves... and next to her chair was a backpack that was full of various papers of various sizes and other things. She started digging into it, awkwardly talking while she was looking for [i]something[/i].

"Um, yeah, so before everyone else, uh, got here; I got here first and uh, did some recon. Apparently- damn it," She interrupted herself hissing as she gave herself a paper cut. Then she got back on track as she said, "I did some, um.... "research" on Eleanor's family here, the Black family - they started out as a family of..." She awkwardly glanced at the various black members of their group and tried not to say something that'd get her beaten up later, "Plantation owners, that switched to mining the coal mines- yeah, mining coal, I meant."

She awkwardly coughed as she gathered herself.

"But, there's something about them... they rule this little town with an iron fist! The head of the family is named Mary-Louise Black, who knows everything that goes on here..." She caught herself as she may have said that a bit too loudly. "I... think she is our primary lead on Eleanor Black because if anyone would know what's going on, it's her."

So she finally pulled out a map of Quintin out of the bag and stretched it out on the table - on various points, there were circles, X's, and even a skull awkwardly drawn on the map. Jen's finger pointed to the first circle that was in town, and said, "This is one of their offices, perhaps we can head here and maybe ask around? Maybe someone can arrange a meeting with Mary-Louise?"
