  1. In fairness, the cops might not be magically aware, but there are people doing what cops do for the magical world. Peter, for example. As for the time period... I'm thinking around 2012 ish? Don't quote me on that tho.
  2. You are welcome. 🙂
  3. Heh. I think Tasha's the type to let it slide, given what he's dealing with. And yeah, Freja's fun.
  4. Indeed.
  5. One week ago, Tuva: Tuva stared at the small ceramic jar that sat upon her family’s coffee table, hands together, her fingers interlocked for her chin to rest on, her elbows braced against her knees. It was ugly. More than anything else, that was the thought that she kept coming back to. The clay had been fired with a fairly expensive looking lacquer finish, a series of interlocked lines alternating between a deep blue and lime green with a ribbon of some sunset orange color running a
  6. Casper: Casper awoke early on the first morning of his new life. The first rays of morning sunlight filtering in through the windows hit his eyelids, and he mumbled something unintelligible, turning over slightly as he dozed to better shield his eyes from the light. There was something unbelievably comfortable about sleeping on Tasha’s couch, her dog curled up against him, head resting against his chest. It had been a bit of a surprise when the animal had bounded through the trashed a
  7. Heh. Mood.
  8. Same.
  9. Knowing their luck, not long.
  10. Oh, absolutely. For the record, I do think James plans to tell his family about his powers. He just wants to build up the nerve to do so first. Parents can be intimidating even if you trust them, after all. I see this as kinda like coming out, in that it's something that James needs to work himself up to.
  11. Hold that thought. It will become extremely relevant over the next few arcs.
  12. Casper's parents are dicks, yeah. They have their reasons, which the story will get to relatively soon; but they're still dicks. As for James' parents, they're probably noticing a thing or two out of the ordinary. Bear in mind that, from their perspective, James has been acting oddly ever since the rape. So the fact that he's been acting a little stranger than usual for the past two days is kind of a difficult comparison. But yeah. They are probably starting to notice stuff.
  13. James: The two figures descended together in silence, the smaller one coming to a stop some ten or so feet above the grassy ground of the park, before the larger one finally allowed herself to let go, falling the short distance to the soft earth and opting to simply collapse there rather than bother trying to catch herself. Neither one of them spoke for a time, James gazing at the ground, too lost in his own thoughts to really know what to say while his companion took a number of long,
  14. It's possible. Not saying whether or not it's true, but it is possible.
  15. Thank you. I'm glad people are engaging with it.
  16. Fair warning. This is not the last time you will experience this sentiment while reading this story.
  17. Hideyoshi mentioned a while back that powers are activated by stress. So beating the crap out of someone is one way of potentially forcing them to activate their powers. As for Lewis. I dunno. He seems to be taking pains to stay as neutral as he can, but he does seem fond of Casper, so who knows?
  18. Thank you. Although I still agree. This was a dumb decision.
  19. Casper: Casper made his way home that evening feeling heavy, the flurry of activity that had been the last twelve hours having drained him more than anything he could readily remember. The hunter had seen him back to his train line, and after a short ride from there, he had begun making his way slowly home under the dim orange light of the early evening sun. The trip to Lewis’ apartment had… not been what he had expected, in any form. It confused him. He had expected the place to be a
  20. We shall see 😛.
  21. True enough, given the rest of the family.
  22. Somethin' on your mind?
  23. That would appear to be the implication, yeah.
  24. Heh. Sorry about your head.
