Gladion’s eyes widened. It was Hazel who replied first. [Hello. I am Hazel. Today is being full of surprises.] He stopped staring in order to translate for her. Minus the grammatical error. She turned to at him, curious, when he corrected it. He supposed she’d never really had to choose tenses...

Gladion decided to go get something to eat. It had been a chaotic day so far, and the cafe was almost empty given the unusual hour, but that just made it all the more private. He got some food for himself and Hazel before sitting down in the corner.

Gladion decided they were going a little harder on the guy than necessary. He didn’t want a fight breaking out. And really, he just felt bad for the guy. Reluctantly, he approached. Hazel followed behind, as subtly as a chimera taller than he was could. “Hey, you guys, breathe.” He wished...

After informing the officer presiding over the case that he’d witnessed no tampering of the scene between it coming into view and her arrival, Gladion turned to leave. He’d probably get called in later, but he was ready to wash his hands of this for now. It was only when he saw the boy with the...

Gladion shook his head. “Hardly likely. I was here a few minutes after the initial scream and didn’t see a thing. I’d be impressed if anyone could defeat them, restrain them, erase all evidence they’d been there except the lingering psychic energy, and then physically escape in that time.”

“I was the first one here after the scream, and there was no one left when I arrived. Everyone here came after. And yeah, we all got the note. The victim was the young girl with the Drampa, who I suspect was the source of the flame. Seems Teleport was used to remove them.”

Gladion waved. His tone carried fake pleasure. “Hazel, Vi, hello! We’re all having a right fun time right now, you should join us!” He dropped the sarcasm. “Someone screamed and mysteriously disappeared! Also something’s happening down there, our Aggron buddy found a trail.” [Hi Hazel], Hazel...

Gladion crossed his arms. “Well, it seems overwhelmingly likely that there was a teleport involved. People don’t just disappear, after all. That’s a psychic trick, and one that doesn’t necessarily require the herald of the sun to pull off. Given how flowery the rest of the text is, it is...

Gladion crossed his arms. “So, I’m developing a hunch that our buddy with a Scisor didn’t just leave like we’d thought. In that case, this should be the second time this has happened. Unless anyone else has found mysterious scorch marks, the fire was probably Drampa’s.” [Something bad], Hazel...

Gladion was already on-edge from the creepy note under his door, so when he heard the scream, he reacted more dramatically that he may have otherwise. He and Hazel ran to the location of the scream, and his fear proved worthwhile. Her and the Drampa’s footprints disappeared, and with signs of a...

Gladion laid stretched out on the bed. “Talked to our host today,” he said. He’d considered using sign while Hazel was learning it, but in practice her limited vision made it hard for her to interpret them when she wasn’t looking directly at him, so he stuck with verbal speech. “Seems like...

Hazel perked up at that, pleased by the offer. ‘Bitch’ clearly wasn’t in the vocabulary of words she knew the meaning of. Though that might not continue to be true for much longer… [Yes I would like to be learning more! I would like that very much. Thank you, Sleet.]

[It was not good. But my partner is very good at knowing me without words so it was okay. It is now that we are meeting more people that I was finding it hard because they were not good at that like him.] She thought of the other Hazel in particular. With out speaking or being able to read her...

Hazel cooed. She appreciated that Sleet was thinking she was good for someone new. She felt silly because it was taking her longer than normal talking to be making all the sound signs for talking. [Hi Sleet. I am Hazel. I was knowing words already. I have just been making them signs today.]

She hadn’t seen all those signs before. They were fast and efficient and a lot better than signing out all the sounds one by one. But also there were too many of them. Even without a sign for ever word there were a lot. There were some for very similar sounds where she had already forgotten one...

Hazel was waiting for Gladion to be getting back from shopping. She was going to be learning a new thing and was looking forward to it. Being excited was making waiting harder, though. She was getting bored of practising signing silent sounds with nobody who would be hearing them. Maybe if she...

Gladion paused for a moment. This guy was so earnest that it hurt to be around him. Must've inherited the fortune, nobody this earnest makes their way to trillionaire status on their own. Someone would fleece him at some point and the money would end up back in an asshole's hands, as per the...

Pushed Xavian a little He's gonna die isn't he? He's too naive to live.

Gladion narrowed his eyes at Xavier. Nothing he said seemed untrue, but he was familiar with lies by omission. And his own, frankly, were better than this. Amature. "Yes. I heard you the first time. You selected an incredibly narrow selection of people across all time and space. Everyone seems...

"Yes, that's me." Gladion crossed his arms, unamused. "But, come on, you didn't spare no expense gathering us all from across time and space for a pot roast and some fireworks. You've got something of importance planned. Seriously, I can't imagine what kind of faustian expenditure it must have...
