Setting: J7ish
Time: Evening
Warnings: None foreseen

Glitch was having a good time -- but, then, anything shiny helped Glitch to have a good time. And Glitch was a real people person too -- and it didn't matter that the blondes all ignored him. He was having a good time.

And so it surprised him to find a crazy woman in the alley he poked his nose down. She was clearly terrified, and Glitch's first instinct was to comfort her. But she was also crazy and very edgy -- and Glitch, not being the brightest or bravest, quickly held up his hands and backed out of the alley...

...And almost into Cain and Donna. Spinning, Glitch stared at them a moment, then looked relieved. "There's a scary lady in there," he confessed, somewhere between a man and a child. It was a simplistic sort of fear, and that made him seem more childish than he actually was. Also, his face was capable of creating almost cartoonish expressions.

"I wouldn't go in there. She yelled at me to leave her alone! I think she was scared of me. Me!" He said this as though he couldn't quite believe it. Why would anyone want him to leave them alone? He was certain he was charming company -- and not at all scary. "I think she might be homeless," he confessed breathlessly. Why else would she be in an alley? "But I wouldn't go in there to feed her, no sir." With an emphatic shake of his head, he turned to resume his course to the cafe -- or wherever it was he was headed.

A second later, he spun around with wide eyes. "There's a scary lady in there. I wouldn't go in there. She yelled at me to leave her alo--hey, where ya goin'?"

Harry moved through the streets, replaying Rosette's name on the journal every few minutes to help focus the spell. He had taped a little compass he had brought with him to the journal, and channeled his tracking spell (which for whatever reason hadn't blown out the device) into it. With the name as a focus he navigated the twisting streets in hopes of finding Rosette.

The rational side of Harry's brain reminded him he was stuck in a foreign city full of unknown dangers with no home or job, and that he should be focusing on getting back to Chicago, not running off to rescue every person he met.

Luckily that part of his brain was pretty used to being ignored by this point.

Finally the compass pointed straight down a side alley Harry immediately noticed a girl who looked a bit like the picture in the journal, as well as the Donna woman he had been talking to, a twitchy looking guy with curly hair, and another guy in a trench coat and very nice hat who seemed like he knew how to handle himself. Of course, most of his attention was currently focused on the terrified looking teenage girl curled up in the alley floor

Deciding to announce his own presence Harry taped his staff on the ground and said, "Hello, Donna, right? Good to meet you gentlemen, my name is Harry. And you must be Rosette." The compass point proved that. He moved over and kneeled down a little ways away from Rosette. "Hey, when we spoke over the journals you seemed like you could use a friend, and it's a well known fact that in the absence of a friend a wizard is the next best thing. How can I help?"
