  1. Agreed. I do think Tasha made a good call immediately saying she'd talk James out of trying to help.
  2. Honestly, this is a situation no twelve year old should ever be near regardless, but yeah, the recent trauma doesn't help.
  3. Thank you. Will do.
  4. That would definitely suck.
  5. Heh. There's a reason I named the entire first arc of this story "Mistakes".
  6. Agreed. Dr. Sharpe's cool.
  7. Why call them deviant? We shall see.
  8. Going through your commentary is turning out really interesting. You're a pretty perceptive reader, and your perspective is imaginative. It's quite engaging.
  9. "Did they have someone teach them about the abilities they have, are they already on a database somewhere? Or did they just work it out themselves?" Heh. Potentially all three.
  10. Heh. Spoilers.
  11. I think tact is a skill that having empathic powers kinda forces you to develop. Casper's still a dork tho. 😛
  12. You wouldn't. Hence Casper's problem. He goes into how he handles it a bit, but it's still super hard for him.
  13. Yeah, deviation abilities was meant to sound faintly weird. Good call on the vibe of the supervisor notes. Yes, it's the U.S. Manhattan, actually. As for the year.... Uh. Probably sometime during the Obama administration?
  14. I think they all are.
  15. That definitely would be the best thing for James to do. But, he doesn't know his dad has powers. Pretty sure he thinks his dad's like, a real-estate agent or something at this point. As for why Casper made this choice, mostly because he was scared he'd lose track of Tasha and wouldn't know where to send help to. I do agree, though. Lots of bad ideas.
  16. "If Tasha and Casper get indoctrinated by the Family and prostituted, I will reach through the internet and throw something at you." Consider me fully warned.
  17. His name is Lewis. Hunter is his profession.
  18. Casper: The boy took a shaky breath, eyes fixed on his phone screen as he waited for James to respond. Five seconds. Ten seconds. Nothing. The crowd moved all around him, jostling him as he stood, rooted to the spot, one or two adults muttering something under their breaths as they stepped around him towards the crossing lights. Still nothing from James. A little voice in the back of his mind told him that his friend was still on his way home, his phone probably stuck in the bottom of his b
  19. Heh. Safe.
  20. James: ’32 pounds.’ James sighed as he stepped off the scales. His new state had remained aggravatingly constant since Casper’s departure the previous evening, to the degree that he had struggled slightly even to do simple things, like opening the bathroom door with its unfortunate tendency to jam against the frame, the wood slightly misshapen and warped in the years since its installation. It was being weak, more than being light, that felt the strangest to him. His school uniform fel
  21. He's a smart kid.
  22. Hunter: The hunt was not, in the end, a particularly difficult one, just very time consuming. The girl, as it turned out, spent a lot of time outside, her scent twisting and winding around the city, bending into alleyways, crossing fences and occasionally disappearing entirely where she had leaped up onto the tops of buildings, whereupon he was forced either to find a way up in order to regain her trail, or to wander the streets until he could relocate her trail again. After an hour of sear
  23. Very true.
  24. Yep. Casper's kind of a loner by choice at this point. As for your other questions... Spoilers. 😛
  25. I'd argue they already realized it. The hunter did note that he smelled another person up there, if only really faintly.
