She has very kissable lips that are constantly moistened with her constant bubbly chatter.   Her accent definitely gives it away that she's from New York originally and has most likely come to Chicago for the fun and action.  She's a 'flapper girl' from the tip of the feather in fashionable cloche to the tip of her equally fashionable satin shoes.  She's often seen driving around in an elegant Packard DeLuxe Eight Sport Phaeton automobile and seems to drip money.  Diamonds are definitely her best friend along with her gold cigarette holder.<br/><br/>1b - Personality: Gregarious, vivacious, lights up the room when she walks into it but flighty and appears woefully unorganized - at least on the surface because how on earth does she manage to pull off those great parties that people would 'kill' for to get an invitation to.<br/><br/>3 - Occupation:   She is a true society dame who appears to know about nothing but high society and the party scene.  Perhaps her greatest asset is that she gives great parties - the kind that make the society pages and are whispered about as nothing short of ... scandalous!</div></div><br/><strong>Devin Paul</strong>-  Player's character<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body"><ul class="bbc_list"><li>male with slightly short straight strawberry blond hair.

She sings with many of the top jazz bands and all enjoy her for her exuberance of style and her renditions of the more traditional blues melodies.<br/><br/>NOTE: This is a character invented to move the storyline along but if anyone feels inspired to play her, just let me know!  </div></div><br/><strong>Georgio Vamanni</strong>-  character created to add to storyline - if someone wishes to player her, please do!

Definitely ahead of her time since she was not above wearing men's pants cinched flatteringly at her narrow waist. It was just easier jumping in and out of cars.   Her quietness could be unnerving since while she observed you, you would feel she was reading your mind and you often found yourself blabbing facts about things that you probably shouldn't just to fill the silence.<br/><br/>Occupation: A young reporter for Chicago's number one newspaper, The Chicago Herald.  She's known to have all the scoops on the local crime beat and the political scene - No latest recipes and housecleaning tips from her!<br/><br/>Of course Geraldine is one of her closest friends and some think maybe closer than they should be!  They can be seen almost every other evening at Georgio's Blue Door sharing a nonalcoholic drink - or was it.  Gin wasn't that hard to find if you knew the right people.<br/><br/>NOTE:  This character was invented to help move the story along.  If you're inspired to play her though, let me know!</div></div><br/><strong>What's happened so far</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Player's characters invited to a posh christmas soiree hosted by Geraldine</li><li>Player's characters were sent invitations that said 'It is you' on the back of them</li><li>Explosion right outside the Central Manufacturing District Bank blew up Cal Cappone's car and killed his driver</li><li>Cal Cappone an extremely rich businessman and suspected gangster is now missing and presumed murdered</li><li>When player characters arrived at the christmas party, they were handed a phone number on a slip of paper by the door man checking invites </li><li>Devin really liked dancing with Brigit </li><li>G-Men have just arrested Devin Paul for Cal Cappone's murder and hauled him off to Jail</li><li>Complex tunneling system underneath Devin's bank that is now known to be used for transporting prohibited alcohol and other 'black market' items, although it's not known if Devin is aware of this </li><li>Geogio aka 'Silky' seems to be protective of Geraldine </li><li>Devin knows that Geraldine dated Baby Face Melvin who is known to be Cal Cappone's arch rival. </li><li>Tessa has been very 'studious' of Devin and not especially 'helpful' towards Bridgit' </li><li> Dottie the reporter appears to know a lot more than she's letting on and the G-men defer to her </li><li>Tessa knows Bridgit's secret</li><li> A 'friend' of Geraldine's aka Mr Phonebooth man (his identity hasn't been revealed) appeared jealous when Geraldine paid too much attention to Devin and warned her she'd get him killed if she didn't back off </li><li> Devin is now in jail </li><li> Bridgit has been approached by a rich and powerful looking man but it's not known if she knows who he is </li><li> Geraldine has disappeared into the party crowd</li></ul>
