  1. Heh. Fair. They do improve with time. Some of them, at least.
  2. Caleb: The goblins moved in fast and low; four of them, each with blades held at the ready. He watched from his perch above them as they moved to surround the small flock that had gathered itself on the rooftop, occasionally squawking at one another, their cries oddly warped. Caleb grunted. It made sense that the government would want to contain the hunting birds quickly. Now that the things were without a beastmaster, they’d probably resort to attacking at random, and that wouldn’t do
  3. Tasha: Tasha tugged at the binding around her knuckles with her free hand. It felt weird, having everything bound up so tightly, but at least the hand wasn’t throbbing with every shift of her weight anymore. She was glad of that. She had enough aches to deal with already, the bruises of the previous night still far from healed. She turned her attention back to Hideyoshi a few dozen feet away, handing off their captive to the guards that now lined the edges of the park. Couldn’t he hurr
  4. I can see why you'd think so, but not really. Magical potential doesn't really single Casper out among James' friends. It's pretty common at their school, for reasons that will be explained WAAAY later on.
  5. Ray: Ray rubbed his eyes wearily, trying to force out the ache that had been building up behind them for hours now. It didn’t help that the park around him was so dimly lit, forcing him to strain his eyes as he searched, following the thin trail of light thrown out by his torch. He shook his head, and told himself to focus. He didn’t have time to be tired right now. It barely helped. He hadn’t slept the night before. Nor had Linda. It would have been odd if they had, after receiving t
  6. Thank you. 🙂
  7. Huh. Interesting perspective. I can't exactly say you're wrong. That might take some thinking on.
  8. Agreed on all counts.
  9. Heh. She's not very good at accepting help.
  10. One can hope. Also. Tasha is a badass.
  11. Well, James' grandad, but yes. Also, I'm glad that you're enjoying it!
  12. Excellent question. I'd say we have.
  13. James: James wasn’t sure exactly when he had begun to cry. Whether it had happened when the lightning bolt struck him, when the bird tore the gash in his leg, or at any of a dozen points in between. He didn’t much care. The problem was that the tears made it hard for him to see where he was going as he flew, his eyelids only barely staying open to begin with. He would have raised an arm to wipe his eyes clear, but his body refused to obey, the limb hanging limp by his side, his fingers
  14. Tasha: The man let out a panicked shout as James took his leave, scrambling to his feet on the damp grass upon which he’d landed and chasing after the boy’s shrinking form at a dead sprint. Another charge of electricity began rapidly building around his arm, ready to shock the boy out of the sky, when Tasha’s shoulder caught him around the middle, her whole weight thrown behind the impact, wrapping her arms around his chest and sending the both of them sprawling. His shot went wide, cuttin
  15. Fair.
  16. Oh. She didn't. She was just in the area because it was where she'd been hiding out since the raid on the Family building.
  17. Oh. I see. Good point, but nah. He just hadn't fired it yet, so it didn't zap her cuz it was still building up inside him. That kept her safe long enough to throw him. Also the fact that the lighting was around his arm, and she only really touched his chest.
  18. New power? I'm not 100% sure what you mean. She just threw the guy.
  19. Heh. As a trio, I think they could accomplish a whole lot.
  20. My thanks. I'll try to.
  21. He did not see Father at the building. Father arrived in the city the day afterwards.
  22. James: James glanced at his blank phone screen for the fourth time in as many minutes, before once more trying to return his eyes to the television. His grandmother’s arrival had, as always, brought with it a new box of Japanese media for him to consume, and he was trying as hard as he could to enjoy it. No matter how hard he tried, however, he couldn’t shake that last nagging bit of doubt out of his head. It was irritating, really. The birds were no longer really much of a worry for
  23. Popular opinion, it seems. 😛
  24. Heh. Well said.
  25. It really does.
