    James: “Well, my grandpa says you weren’t lying about the ritual,” James mumbled, resting the phone tiredly against his ear, his head lolling gently against his hands. It was seven PM, and he’d had the longest day. “But it sounds like we’d better wait a couple days to get it done. He said something about setting up a hideout for you with a friend of his.” “That shouldn’t be a problem,” Caleb replied on the other end of the line. “I don’t think so, at least. Our bosses might make us pul

    That's fine. You don't have all the information yet.

    Casper: It was four thirty six in the afternoon, and Casper Sullivan was getting pissed. He pulled his phone from his pocket, checked the screen, then lowered it back to the greasy food court table, swearing under his breath. The man was late. Father was never late. Bad enough I have to hang out with that rapist. Now I have to wait for him? Such an ass. Casper took a moment, closed his eyes, and forced himself to breathe. He didn’t like being angry. He really, really did

    Sixteen years ago, Asset Twenty Three: “We can get out of here. I know we can. Together.” The air vent was sticky; hot wind blowing constantly through a space so cramped that even she, the smallest of the children, could barely fit inside it. Twenty Three ignored the heat, and focused on keeping her breathing even. Trainer Sloan was about to leave for the night, and he always left his keycard in the second drawer of his desk. She just had to be still for a few more minutes. She

      Doctor’s notes. Subject #24170. James Toranaga. Session 3. Notes and recommendations of attendant therapist, Natalie Sharpe:   It has been three weeks since the previous session, due in large part to my own overloaded schedule in the aftermath of the elvish attacks. During the last week it has become apparent that James did in fact manifest abilities in the aftermath of his assault. For this reason, use of the David pseudonym has been removed. Current classification is a tentative ty

    New Jersey Pine Barrens, James: James Toranaga was having fun. He was having WAY too much fun. The nearest of the targets was almost a hundred feet away; the nearest he could see, at any rate. He twisted in the air and shot off after it like an arrow loosed from a bow. The target was fast, but he was faster. He closed to spitting distance in barely more than a second and reached out with his second power, his mind extending through the wind itself to slap the projectile out of the sky.

    James: “Honestly, I was planning to kill you.” At first, James’ only response was to laugh. The statement was just too silly; more like something out of a morning cartoon script than real life. He snorted, then shook his head, and turned his gaze to Caleb… only to see that the other boy wasn’t laughing. He felt something cold settle in his stomach. “... You’re serious,” he murmured, the words coming out faint, half-shocked. “I wouldn’t joke about this.” Caleb replied, his voi

    Lee: The final hours of Lee Shyver’s life were exceptionally dull. “Sorry, man. I’m stuck in traffic. Gimme like, ten minutes, okay?” Lee moved the phone away from his cheek for a moment so Lauren wouldn’t hear him sigh, and glanced at the clock. She was already half an hour late. He took a breath, then returned the phone to his cheek. “Sure, fine. But try and make this the last time, kay? I’m getting kinda tired of having to cover for you like this.” The girl got maybe

    James: “I don’t get why I have to meet them, though,” Casper grumbled, following grudgingly along in the other boy’s wake. James rolled his eyes. “Cuz you need more friends, Casper,” he replied shortly, lowering his voice a little as they approached the table. “Just me isn’t enough. Besides, I’m tired of having to choose between you and them every day.” At that, he raised his voice again. “Hey, guys! This is Casper. He’s a doof. Can we friend him?” The table was mostly empty today

    Yeah. Their tracking abilities are a bit more limited, tho. They can track a dude they've already met across a city for a few hours. But a dude who they've never crossed paths with, about a month after the fact, is a bit trickier.

    James: “Yeah,” James replied, unsure of what else there really was to say. “Yeah. I guess I’m a mage, now.” “... Right.” “... Yup.” For a long while, neither spoke. Whatever awkward feeling there had been in the air before was growing faster now, building more and more in the silence with every other moment. Then, after more than a minute of that ever deepening quiet, Peter clapped his hands together. “Well,” he said, injecting into his voice what had to be the most forc

    James: “I don’t know who did it,” he muttered, still glaring at the floor. “Just some guy in a bathroom.” James hesitated for a moment, then began to raise his head towards his grandfather, before Hideyoshi stopped him short. “Don’t,” the old man grunted. “Please don’t look at me right now.” James considered that for a moment, before that sense of betrayal won over, and he looked the man in the eye. For what it was worth, Hideyoshi didn’t flinch. His face was set and red

    I'm glad. 🙂

    Glad you liked it. Also. The marks being visible is why Tasha slapped him with a mud pie. She was trying to hide them for him, but then he shapeshifted again.
  20. Rhythminthemind
    "Was he pretending that he didn't know James in front of Tasha?" Uh. No. He just straight up did not realize it was James. He wasn't looking at him, or listening to him, cuz he was trying to be a hardass, so he couldn't tell. "It seems like Peter and Sarah didn't tell Hideyoshi about what happened to James." Indeed they did not. James asked them not to tell anyone, so they kept it quiet. "Hideyoshi knows who did it I guess Peter doesn't know." Not quite. Hideyoshi doesn't know who did it either. That's why he's asking James to tell him who did it. As for whether or not Father was responsible... No comment.

    James: “Explain to me why I’m piggybacking you there, again?” Tasha grumbled, her tone more one of amusement than annoyance. “That’s what you get for slapping that mud-pie in my face,” James replied, forcing himself to sound relaxed as he once more tried to scratch some of the pasted on grit off of his cheek. “That was just rude. I mean, where did you even find mud round here? It’s freaking Summer.” “Used a water bottle to make some,” the older girl replied with a chuckle, swingin

    Fair enough. Personally, I think it's within their characters, but opinions differ and that's okay. Thank you for your input. Not being a grandparent myself, it is useful.
  23. Rhythminthemind
    "“Hello?” he asked, his voice small, even a touch squeaky." Heh. Nah. James' voice was just being weird at the time cuz of nerves. That's why gramps didn't recognize it.

    That's because you don't click on chapter. You click on "STORY". Creating a chapter is only for when you have a story that already exists. You need to click on "story", not "story chapter".

    I literally just answered that.
