    Summary

    There are things in Boatem that aren't talked about. Open secrets, if you will, some less secret than others.

    Scar is part Vex. (And has stumbled into a situation with unintentional magic that's dragging him back to those roots.) Mumbo is a potato—among other things. (And he can't figure out why when the defective codes that made him that way are long gone.) Pearl is, periodically, turning into a ghost. (And she doesn't know why, even when she can't stop staring up at the ever-growing moon.) Impulse is, quite possibly, the sanest person in all of Boatem. (And that's just a terrifying thought, because no one should have that responsibility.) Grian is a Watcher. (And that's causing all sorts of other problems of late, most of which he is pointedly ignoring. Not to mention the other open secret, his wings, and how he is absolutely not coming to terms with the fact that, after Last Life, he'll never be able to fly with them again.)

    And there are a few other things—how Xisuma's terrifyingly unaware of his own server and possibly possessed, how Doc never wanted to take over his position as admin, how Jimmy never came back from Last Life.

    Oh.

    And the moon's big.

    Summary

    But, right before he left, David called out to him.
    “William.” The phone's receiver was covered by his hand. David looked tense, and sounded stern- the sort of tone that nobody but family was allowed to hear. “This isn't a mystery for you to solve. Don't be a hero. And do not get yourself involved.”
    William was smart. He knew when to lie.
    “Of course not, David.”
    -
    Shortly after a whistleblower exposes a few companies associated with the one he works for, William Wisp wakes up in a junkyard with no memory of how he got there.
    And he's set on finding out why.
