    Summary

    Jimmy doesn’t know how many years it’s been since the Mines have been abandoned. By any means, Jimmy should be long dead. But he just won't die. It's part of the Curse. He resigns himself to his existence as a canary in a cage.

    One day, he hears giggles in the walls. Maybe there's hope after all.

    Summary

    According to Council records, the Fulgur Ovium Zedaph Pleighs and his two co-workers - the Ignis Petra Tango of the Tek Clan and the Inferni ImpulseSV - are officially called Sapience Outreach Specialists. They jokingly refer to themselves though as the First Contact Crew. It’s up to them to determine the sentience and sapience of alien races that either volunteer or are brought to them by the Council.
    And recently the Council has brought them one hell of a challenge: determine the sentience and sapience of a recently discovered species called Terrans using an individual that they nickname Blue.

    Meanwhile Skizz just wants to be treated like a person by the aliens that abducted him and go back to Earth…

    Summary

    There was a space for him, in the crook of Tango's arm. It was knobbly and ran warm, and Jimmy was just slightly too tall, but there was space. Hand on scarred-soft hand, Tango reeled him in, and Jimmy found himself in the comfort of Nether embers and a heartbeat the same as his.

    It beat the same as his.

    (In that moment, his breath caught, and his mouth went 'oh'.)

    (Tango was the best thing to happen to him.)

    -----------------------------------
    OR: Don’t tell him that he’s grown for having loved a little while.

    Summary

    "You."

    The ghost's figure became clearer, but no easier to look at in the darkness of the night. Its form was shimmering and smoky, producing waves of heat that made any sort of clear image impossible to discern from the rest. Somehow, Jimmy couldn't look away. Two glowing red eyes, the only real feature the ghost had, held his terrified gaze, and, despite the overwhelming heat, Jimmy felt himself break into a cold sweat.

    He silently prayed that Grian and the others had hidden themselves better than he did. The smudge stick had cloaked their retreat, but it had burned out while he was still out in the open.

    The ghost stepped closer.

    Jimmy squeezed his eyes shut, preparing for the worst.

    "I want you to help me find the person who killed me."

    G.I.G.S. Dispatch Team…
    Awaiting Supervisor Review…
    Log begins:

    9:47 PM

    [GRIAN]: Test, test, everyone’s radio working?

    [SCAR]: I can hear you loud and clear!

    [SKIZZ]: All good here.

    [IMPULSE]: Yep, we’re all good.

     

    or,

    the GIGS phasmo team in a series of radio logs and texts that progressively get more emotional and convoluted than I thought it would when I started writing this
