None of your friends can help. They're not strong like you are. You need to chase down the biggest threat imaginable, immediately and alone. Any challenges or dangers that you encounter must be faced head on, even if they might kill you. You escape your darkest self when someone comes to your rescue or you wake up in the hospital, whichever comes first.
When you are intimate with someone, heal all of your wounds, and cure all of your Conditions. If they disgust you, give them a String. If you disgust yourself, give them a String.
Connections are few but cherished for a newcomer in town. It's always interesting news for the residents when new blood, especially one with mechanical skill, move in. Neighbors show up at the door with introductions and welcoming baskets. This is how they met that summer. The B&B's car broke down, again for the second time this month. Luckily the old auto shop at the edge of town has opened again with new tenents. Instead of having the car towed to the nearest city, mechanic Keith Moore, takes care of it. The next day Keith calls and confirms the old spark plugs were defect and replaced. Knowing the mechanic and his daughter are newcomes, the Webb's prepare a little something-something for Keith's trouble and giving them a warm welcome to the community. And Jenny were dragged along, 'cause it was only decent to introduce the new girl to some new friends. Since then Jenny have showed Teresia the ropes around town. Where the teens meet up to make out, where the hang-outs were and what house ol' mister Murray was found murdered. Jenny is soured over the relationship because it feels like another obligation, another choice that she didn't get to make. Jenny doesn't specifically hold it against Teresia, though, and tries to balance her feelings about the new kid by including her in Jenny's new favorite past-time: crime-fighting. Does it hurt that it puts Teresia in danger and potentially invalidates the adults' trust in Jenny? Not in the least ...
old elementary school friends; have sort of grown apart through middle school and high school, but old friendships don't die easily; Jen still holds Isabella in high esteem even though she has gotten a little weird.
Jenny took an interest in boys starting in middle school, but never really 'went out' with anyone, preferring friends over boyfriends. It made her cool ... and a tease. Then, in high school something finally changed and for some reason her first interest was Ted; maybe this was because Jenny viewed Ted as a sort of halfway point between herself and Isabella as their interests continued to diverge. Jenny was popular and Isabella was the weird outcast, Ted was firmly staked as the average guy, somewhere between the two diverging friends. Then the day Ted died happened. It is the day that changed everything for Jen. She went from oblivious to the real way of things in town to keenly aware, and more. They were in the woods and got separated. No big deal. Until the scream, the gut-wrenching scream. Jen ran toward the sound of her friend's pain, charging headlong into the unknown, intending to do everything in her power to save Ted. But she froze when she fell upon the actual scene. It wasn't the physical scene that brought her up short. It was a presence, a will writhing through the air and flailing to grasp anything around. And the source? The pit where Ted's body had fallen. She could not confront that will and charge into the midst and try to save Ted. She fled. Jen raced back to town and got help, but by the time a party had set out to search for Ted, a battered (but seemingly alive) Ted walked out from the woods. The look he gave Jen crushed her soul. She had failed him. Ted always called it a wolf attack, but Jenny had seen everything. Wolves they were not. The relationship between Ted and Jenny is strained, but old friendships do die hard and some old feelings still exist. Jen blames herself and has set out to make it right. But where does one start when there is no physical enemy, only an awakening to a truer reality.
two of the oldest families in Cressida Bay, Nick and Jenny know each other though there isn't a lot of overlap in social circles; Jenny and her family are always cordial to Nick and his family despite the many unflattering rumors floating around town. Jenny has started to take more of an interest in Nick as her crime-fighting turns from a distraction from Ted to a drive.
Jenny and Sasha were not close growing up and the divide increased as Jenny's popularity blossomed in middle and then high school. Then, Jenny began taking to solving crimes after the Ted incident. Through a chance encounter, a slip of the tongue, and an odd assortment of luck, Jenny and Sasha began working together on crimes around town. Slowly an actual friendship began to blossom. Sasha still doesn't fit with the in-crowd at school (nor would she try?), but Jenny sits with her on occasion at lunch and stops to talk in the hall or outside the school.
