Broke Amateurs Lori



Kennie McClain moved from upstate New York to Portland to escape bad memories. In her off hours, she rehabs apartments and nurses a broken heart. Lily Gordon, a nationally-acclaimed painter, lives in the penthouse where Kennie works. She's beautiful and accomplished - and haunted after her lover ditches her. Sparks fly when Kennie and Lily finally connect . . . but then in one shattering moment, Lily betrays her, and Kennie's world comes crashing down, leaving her untrusting and in deep emotional pain. Can Kennie ever rise above these losses and risk her heart again?


In After Images, Lori, who became worried about her brother Brett Talbot when he didn't return home from helping with Beacon Hills High School's lacrosse practice, went to the school, where she found Brett's lacrosse stick broken in half and covered in his blood. This was presumably around the time that Brett began fighting back against his attackers, new Hunter and BHHS guidance counselor Tamora Monroe and her recently-attained mentor Gerard Argent, as she heard gunshots shortly afterward what would have occurred when he lured them into a trap and was shot at for his trouble.

Believing he was in danger, Lori immediately went to the McCall House, where Scott was preparing to leave in the Jeep. After showing him the broken lacrosse stick and explaining her concerns, Scott wondered how she knew for sure it was his blood, leading Lori to remind him that he was her brother and that they shared the same blood. This seemed to convince Scott, who called upon his fellow packmates Malia Tate and Liam Dunbar to assist them in finding Brett.


In addition to her supernatural powers, Lorilee had proven herself to be a competent fighter, as she was able to hold her own against Kira, who had been empowered by the unbalanced Kitsune spirit inside her. In addition to her hand-to-hand combat skills, she also seemed to be at least somewhat knowledgeable about fighting with melee weapons, as she used a lacrosse stick as a staff for a short amount of time before it was broken, after which point she used the broken pieces to switch to stick-fighting.


Lorilee had all the typical weaknesses of a Werewolf, including wolfsbane, mistletoe, the modified canine distemper virus, and letharia vulpina, also known as "wolf lichen." She was vulnerable to the effects of full moons, supermoons, as well as intense emotions, all of which can trigger transformations in young and untrained Werewolves. Lunar eclipses suppress her and her fellow Werewolves' powers for the duration, which is anywhere between 10 and 20 minutes. She was also vulnerable to the effects of rowan wood, or its burned form, mountain ash, which can be used to prevent her from entering an area surrounded by an unbroken circle of it, or can be used to trap her inside the circle by a human or Chimera wielding the ash.


Furthermore, that 100% injury rate does not factor in things like hypothermia, heat stroke, chemically induced auto-immune disease, and otherwise inhumane working conditions (in which the heart is kept under control by using defibrillator). A celebrity sneeze might make headlines, but when my best friend fell off a bridge because his safety line broke, which sent him into a spinning freefall into a concrete parking lot 33 feet below, no one heard about it. He broke nearly every bone on the right side of his body, lacerated his liver, and fractured his skull. 2ff7e9595c
