Hank happily pulled his sister into a tight hug. He was a simple boy at heart and rarely realizing his own strength. Heck. Half his ‘power’ came from being a magical dead zone. “-I missed you.” but he did ignore her question.

[Text] Okay, I’m there in a moment.

Alicia closed her cellphone’s case and managed to finally get a sweatshirt on by sheer luck and force of will before rushing out of her apartment, still not fully awake.

“So, Taco Bell it is. And at least a coffee.” She yawned, taking up Izitayel on an offer to wake her up. “Do you want to talk about it, Hank?”

Hank was in a hoodie and track pants, moving from one foot to another. Never one for sitting still. “-Mm?” he asked “-nothing to talk about,” he flashed a weak smile “-I’m always good, sis.”

“Nope. He’s off on business,” he replied as they entered and he immediately tugged off his sneakers at the door. “-Mama! Ms. Ashley is here!” there was no answer “-Hm... maybe she’s out?”

“It’s fine... we all have trials,” he admitted, pulling on the hoodie with a soft smile “-did you want to come in? I doubt Mom would mind...”

“I meant I liked! No! My hoodie was gone!” he replied quickly, and sighed, grateful her clothes were suddenly visible again once on the lawn. Though his cheeks were still a vivid and bright red. “-who do you think... did that?’

Hank followed at a pretty steady pace, being a high-school athlete had it’s perks. He did however notice.... his hoodie started to fade from her body “-Oh... I sorta liked that,” he mentioned through heavy breaths.

“About a mile?” he was able to work out, glancing up once again but his cheeks flushing deeper as he shirt started to fade “-maybe w-we should... move quickly Ms. Ashley?”

Hank had just finished up some volunteer work at Church and had decided it was a nice enough day to walk home. Why bother his parents? As he did, ht noticed a familiar face and grinned, walking over “-Good morning Ms. Ashley!” a beat “-uhm… why arn’t you… wearing pants?” his cheeks went a scarlet and he looked away conservatively.

“Oh hey kiddo!” Ashley couldn’t stop the bright scarlet that touched her cheeks. “I got hexed I think. My clothes just disappeared. Do you think you could call your mom for me?” she asked.

“Uh y-yeah I can try!” he said offering his hoodie for her to tie around her waist. Grabbing his phone, sparks flew from it as it fried “-Oh.. oh no whatever spell is on you is...” and he held up his now powered down phone as proof.

[Txt] On the contrary. [Txt] I just don’t want you to get in trouble. [Txt] But I kept this number for a reason.

[Txt] Yeah. Dad would probably freak if he knew I was texting. [Txt] How have you been?

carpenterwithacoin

[Txt] Probably. Don’t let him know.

[Txt] I’m alright, still studying journalism. I’m the one paying it, though!

[Txt] How are things at home? How are you?

[TXT] Good. I mean… you and sis didn’t exactly make things easy on the rest of us.

carpenterwithacoin

[Txt] Yeah, well, on their eyes you cannot do worse than we did.

[Txt] I miss you. I miss you all, actually.

[Txt] Do you think we could meet sometime?

[txt] I mean... we’d have to be secret about it. I do some work at a soup kitchen after school on the weekdays. You could come by there.

The boy’s posturing didn’t cause much of a reaction from Tessa. Over the years, she had seen–and done–far worse. It did, however, give her an idea as to what the relationship of him to his Fallen was. If he was this unhinged, clearly his relationship with Lasciel was weighted heavily in her favor, and he was doing little of his own free will. Perhaps Tessa could exploit that.

She gave the boy a flat, uninterested look. “Alright. What do you want?”

There was a flash. Not of light, but of movement. All the jerky uneven motions were gone, and the boy looked... human. He comfortably moved his hands behind his back and flashed that trademark Hank Carpenter smile. “-want? Oh gosh. I don’t want anything. I’m here to help.” a hand gestured to the above “-it’s God’s will.. to help.”

Mia had never done anything like this before. She knew that it was important to her spiritual well being or whatever- and she just liked helping people too! She was still nervous though. She didn’t want to screw it up.

She walked up to the site uncertainly. Did she need to check in? Did she just start helping someone? What was expected of her?

A familiar voice called out to her and she looked over to see the Carpenter’s youngest, Harry. She grinned brightly, glad to know someone. “Hey! I didn’t realize you’d be here.” Harry was a few years younger than her, but cute. They hadn’t had the chance to talk much, but he seemed super nice. She hurried over to him. “I’m here to help, but I don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing.”

“Hm... dad usually says people find their own way of helping,” the boy pondered as he rubbed the back of his neck “-right. Here’s what we can do. I need to get these planks in place. Why don’t you hold that end,” he gestured “-and I’ll nail them in on my side, then you can do yours. Sound good?” Hank flashed an unwaveringly wide and friendly smile. Few things could dampen the teen’s mood, and he seemed consistently content.

“Mmm child... child child child,” the boy repeated as if it was a word that felt funny in his mouth. His gaze shot at her, unblinking, unmoving. “-information has a price Ms. Tessa... I don’t share without cause.” his head then jerked in an unnatural way, bones and vertebrae cracking in a sickening way “-unless you want to ssssshare?”

@summerscythe The boy grinned wide, wider than his face should have been able to manage. Fingers tensed and flexed and he chucked "-she didn't want me. She wanted Dresden... but he wasn't fast enough. Did you miss me?"
