“If you’re not gonna tell me what’s goin’ on with you,” Phillip sighed throwing his hands up in defeat, “then I'm leavin’, I’ll be back after work but I just don't get it,” he rubbed his temple, despair coating his face. Unable to answer you, let him walk out the door, unsure of what was next. Your hand drifted to your stomach trying to think of how you were going to tell Phillip the news.

The Shadows were quick to notice the Commander’s shitty mood as they made sure to avoid him as he stomped into his office. Throwing himself down in his chair Graves sighed, frustrated at the circumstance. He wasn't mad at you, just upset that you felt you couldn't trust him enough to tell him what was weighing on your mind. He wanted to make sure you felt safe and comfortable with him all the time and right now it felt the complete opposite.

Philip felt uneasy the rest of the day, his stomach turned at how things were left and immediately headed home early. Stopping at the local grocery store to get you flowers hoping you would forgive him. Pulling in the driveway he immediately felt something was off. Approaching the front door he noticed it was cracked open, the lock had been busted. The flowers dropped onto the front doorstep as he ran through the house. Broken glass and furniture were tossed everywhere. Graves felt sick as he saw the state of the house, calling out your name hoping you were home and safe. To his dismay you were nowhere to be found, knowing he had to act quickly he immediately headed back to the base to get a team of Shadows ready.

✩｡:*•.───── ❁ ❁ ─────.•*:｡✩

Your head spun as you tried to get your bearings, your hands tied behind your back. The blindfold over your eyes was thin enough that you could tell you were not home, but an empty warehouse. The sound of faint voices echoed through the room, noticing you were awake. The shadows of two figures approached you, peeling off your blindfold.

“Make sure you smile big,” one of them whispers a bit too close to your ear, a chill of disgust runs up your spine. Bright lights flash on causing you to wince, and a little red dot flashing in front of you. The camera propped up and recording. One of the men stood behind you, another to your right as they spoke to the camera. Your mind had blocked them out, still trying to assess the situation and how it happened. All of a sudden, the feeling of a cold metal blade shocked you back to reality.

“Tell him what you are hiding,” the man motioned with the knife toward the camera. You froze, unable to move or even think about what he could be talking about. The men were impatient as the one on your right nudged your elbow.

“Your stomach,”

“My stomach?” you knew what they were referring to but you didn't want to tell them to hopefully protect the both of you.

“Your wife is pregnant Commander Graves,” the man behind you spoke up, “Deliver us the money, and she and the baby will go unharmed,”

“Be quick Commander,” the red light blinked and eventually turned off as the recording ended. Tears streamed down your face, your head dropping as you hoped none of this was real and just a bad dream.

✩｡:*•.───── ❁ ❁ ─────.•*:｡✩

Phillip, busy back at base, was assembling a team. He scrambled trying to be as quick as possible afraid he was wasting daylight and precious time to find you. While he was in his office getting clearance his computer beeps with a message. His eyebrows furrowed, hesitantly he clicked the URGENT email that had popped up.

The video rolled showing you with the two men, and immediately his heart sank. Graves fell back into his chair, unable to believe what he was seeing. His ears rang with anger as they spoke about their stupid demands. Suddenly his ears perked up at the words “pregnant,” his eyes widened as he grabbed the phone off his desk, dialing the number as quickly as possible.

“This is bigger than my wife and I, she’s pregnant,”

Graves' team quickly gathered in his office, a team of experts analyzing the video to figure out the location where you were being held. Once they had narrowed down the area, Phillip and his men geared up and called local law enforcement to get you back.

✩｡:*•.───── ❁ ❁ ─────.•*:｡✩

Arriving at the warehouse, Phillip and the Shadows devised a plan to get you out as quickly and safely as possible. Entering on the count of 3, a designated group of Shadows secured the men while Phillip was able to save you.

After the room was cleared Phillip ran over to you, untying you as you fell into his arms. Pulling you closer he hugged you tightly, afraid to let you go again.

“I'm so sorry doll,” he was out of breath and couldn't even find the words. Graves was in complete shock at the events of the day. His hand moved to your stomach before looking up at you, “I know this isn't how you wanted me to find out but I can’t wait,” he kissed your head lightly.

Tears streamed down your face, “I don't even know if the baby will make it Phillip,”

“That’s not goin’ happen darlin’, don't you worry. I’ll take good care of you,” he squeezed your hand, “We’ll get you the best doctors,” he smiled before helping you up and to the ambulance that waited outside to check up on you.

Things That Go BUMP

Eddie Munson x Reader (description vague for inclusivity, no use of YN, no upside-down).

Summary: Eddie and reader agree to house-sit for a recently widowed woman, and things happen.

Warnings/Tropes: established relationship (this could also be a sequel to Next Summer), no smut, ghost story, talk of accidental death, description of and discussion of death and mortal remains, rather inappropriate funerary banter, dark themes. Avert thine eyes if death talk unsettles you, but this IS a Halloween fic, so, yeah.

Author's Note: this is actually based on a personal experience I had with my boyfriend at the time. True story, my buddies!

Here is a map of the layout of the house. I only included details, i.e. furniture, if it was relevant to the story.

Word Count: 3300

October 1991

Life in Hawkins was peaceful and harmonious, and you were looking forward to your first autumn in rural Indiana with Eddie. You imagined there would be long walks through crunchy leaves whilst scenting the faint aroma of wood smoke as it drifted among the trees. Things, however, didn't quite go as you'd planned.

Lenny Weir, a kind middle aged man that you had built an acquaintance with, was killed in a tragic accident where he was fatally electrocuted while repairing an appliance.

You had been deeply saddened to learn of Lenny's passing. Everyone in Hawkins had heard of the accident; he was a popular fellow among the locals, and was known for helping people when something needed to be fixed or tended to, free of charge. Word traveled fast, and a blanket of sadness enveloped the whole town.

He and his wife Pam chose to remain childless, preferring the company of a tabby cat called Jasper and a particularly intelligent Border Collie named Toby. You knew all of this because you had house-sat for them for a week over the summer when they went on vacation. They lived in an idyllic little cottage framed by flowering shrubs and a stream flowed through their backyard. It really was a lovely place and you had enjoyed staying there immensely.

You attended Lenny's viewing with Eddie. You had never felt very comfortable with death in the past, and you had only been a permanent resident of Hawkins for four months. You didn’t know many people yet, which heightened your feeling of shyness as the other people from town filled the room around you. You sat toward the back, nodding solemnly at the people you saw that you did know, but preferring to stay out of the way.

When it came time for everyone to file past the assembled family and view the deceased, your heart was in your throat. You hesitated, gripping Eddie’s hand tightly.

“Hey,” Eddie whispered, leaning his head conspiratorially toward yours. “I’ve got you. We’ll do this together.”

You nodded. “Okay,” you replied anxiously.

As you moved toward Lenny’s relatives, who were standing near the front of the room next to the casket, you nodded and murmured the usual script of ‘so very sorry,” and “such a tragedy,” until you spotted Pam, who looked composed despite having red, puffy eyes.

“Pam,” you said as you reached her. “This is awful, I’m so sorry, I don't really have the words. How are you holding up?”

Pam shook her head. “I don’t really think it’s all fully registered; I feel like I’m trapped in some kind of awful dream.”

You nodded sympathetically, “I can only imagine. Is there anything I can do?”

“Actually,” she replied, “Next week I’m going away for several days to stay with my sister in Utah and get out of the house for a while. Would you mind staying and looking after Jasper and Toby?”

“Of course I will,” you said without hesitation. “Do you mind if Eddie comes too?”

“Not at all, he’s more than welcome.”

“Great, we’ll be there,” you said with a small smile.

“Thank you Pam,” Eddie added. “I’m so sorry about all of this.”

“Thank you so much,” she said, her voice thick. “Now I guess you’d better go say goodbye to Lenny.”

“Here goes…” you murmured quietly to Eddie as you approached the casket, kneeling down on the provided cushion.

You quickly noticed that the glue holding one of Lenny’s eyes closed was starting to come loose, giving his right eye the appearance that it was partially open.

“Oh god,” you groaned.

“Fuck, that’s not how that’s supposed to look,” Eddie whispered.

“Jesus, should we tell someone?”

“Well I doubt we’re the first ones to notice it, we're among the last people up here…”

“This is why I hate these things. Viewings. It’s all so unnatural…” you broke off with a shudder. You were horrified, and you couldn’t stop staring at poor Lenny's eye.

“Well we started having viewings because we kept burying people alive back in the day. And it kinda looks like Lenny is starting to wake up right now…”

“Dude,” you admonished in a firm whisper.

“I’m sorry,” Eddie said, “it’s just shocking." Eddie paused, his eyes widening in horror. "Oh god, Lenny was electrocuted…do you think anyone told Pam his death was ‘shocking’? Oh man, I hope not.”

“I can’t take you anywhere,” you said. You were mortified, but the stress of everything was making you want to burst out into very inappropriate and ill-timed laughter. “We are leaving right now!”

“Sorry Lenny,” Eddie murmured hastily as you dragged him away.

You arrived at Pam’s house the following week with a duffel bag and Eddie in tow. Pam greeted you at the door and walked you through the house. She reminded you about where the pet food was and all the other things she thought you should know. Before she departed, she left you with some words you would never forget:

“Kids, sometimes weird things happen in the house. I don’t know. I wonder if maybe Lenny hasn’t moved on.”

“Say what now?” Eddie prompted.

“I wouldn’t worry about it, sometimes I just hear things sometimes, and I wonder if things get moved. Either that or I’m losing my mind.”

“Well we don’t want that," you said, and Eddie laughed a little too loudly.

“No, we would definitely prefer ghosts,” he said, making Pam actually laugh a little.

The first few days passed without incident. You and Eddie enjoyed playing with Toby, lounging about outside by the fire pit, watching TV with Jasper curled up on your lap, and picking apples from the gnarled old apple tree in the backyard. Out of respect for Pam and Lenny, you and Eddie shared the large sectional sofa in the living room; it was shaped like a large letter L so there was plenty of room for both of you.

One day, your curiosity got the best of you.

"Lenny was cremated, right?" you asked Eddie.

"Yeah, so I heard."

"So where are his ashes? I wonder if he’s in the house or if Pam scattered him somewhere,” you pondered, and then began looking around the house for an urn.

It had occurred to you that perhaps you were being disrespectful, but Lenny was such a sweet guy and you didn't think he would mind. Besides, part of you just really wanted to know if you were sharing a house with someone’s mortal remains.

Shortly afterward, you came across a small inconspicuous brown box on the nightstand between the couch and the sitting room wall, but it was on a lower shelf that was hidden from view by the sofa.

"Do you think he's in there?" Eddie asked.

"Only one way to find out."

You opened the box. Inside the box was a cylindrical, plain, brass-looking tin. The suspense was killing you both.

"I think that's it," Eddie said almost in a whisper.

"Well if it is," you said, "it isn't very ceremonial. It doesn't look anything like what I would expect an urn to look like."

"I think– well, when my mom died they gave us her ashes in something pretty plain. It’s up to the family to buy something nicer.”

“Oh I’m sorry babe,” you said, giving Eddie’s arm a squeeze. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah, yeah, I’m fine, it’s okay,” Eddie said with a reassuring smile.

“But if that is Lenny, why is he tucked away out of sight as if she’s hiding him?”

"Maybe keeping it in view is too painful for her right now."

"Maybe it's just candy or something."

You went back and forth on this for a while, but you had to know for sure. You started to open the tin.

"Jesus, don't!" Eddie hissed.

"I’m sorry but I have to know," you said. “Besides, there’s no harm in just looking. I’m sure Lenny wouldn’t mind.”

“Ugh, fine,” Eddie said. "But if you let out a ghost, I'm blaming you."

You opened the tin. Inside the tin was a clear plastic bag containing the cremated remains of Lenny. You and Eddie stared silently at it for a moment. It definitely didn't look like what you had imagined the ashes of a cremated person to look like. You always thought it would look like...well, ashes. It didn't. It closely resembled gravel, and you could see little bits of bone as if someone had smashed up what was left with some sort of hammer. You immediately felt uneasy and replaced the lid.

"Wow. So that's....that's Lenny," Eddie said.

"Yeah," you replied simply. You weren't sure what else to say.

You silently sent an apology into the ether, feeling a little remorseful for prying.

You didn't talk about it much after that and went about your business, but you had the very unsettling realization that you had been sleeping with your head no more than six inches away from Lenny’s remains for days.

The following day it was raining and quite chilly, so you and Eddie spent most of the day inside watching TV. Somewhere around 8pm, the TV abruptly switched off.

"Did you lean on the remote?" you asked.

"No, it's right there on the table," Eddie replied.

That's strange... you thought to yourself. Then Pam’s voice echoed in your mind. Sometimes weird things happen. You shrugged it off.

You turned the TV back on and continued watching. About ten minutes later it switched to snow, then turned off again.

"What the hell..." You and Eddie said in unison.

Suddenly Toby the dog lifted his head and stared into the adjacent kitchen, a low growl emitting from his throat.

"Okay, that's freaky," Eddie said.

"Go look and see what it is," you said with wide eyes.

“Uh, I’d rather not."

You quickly dialed Nancy’s number to get her opinion, who told you your imaginations were running wild and you just had to calm down. She chatted with you for a while and nothing further happened, so you hung up and tried to distract yourself with a bit of making out. You had a hard time feeling interested in sex, however. You had the very unsettling feeling that you were being watched.

A couple more hours passed without anything odd happening, and you were beginning to feel quite sleepy. You realized that you didn't want to turn off the lights, and you also didn't want to keep sleeping on the couch next to Lenny’s remains. Ugh suck it up; what are you six years old? You thought to yourself, and laid down to go to sleep. You did leave a light on in the kitchen, however.

The night passed quietly, though sleep was difficult to find. You tossed and turned, and what little sleep you did achieve was filled with strange and frightening dreams. One dream that stood out consisted of you waking to go to the bathroom. As you passed the room that used to be Lenny’s office on the way to the toilet, you saw him. He was jogging on his treadmill whistling a happy tune, but he wasn't alive. As you paused in the doorway his head turned to look at you. He was burned black; one eye stared at you, and the other was burned away. His mouth was twisted into a horrible grin. For a fleeting moment you wondered how he could whistle with no lips, and then you screamed. You awoke with a start, and stared at the window for the rest of the night, waiting for the morning light.

The next day you spent the majority of it out of the house. You drove around and visited some friends, and grabbed a bite to eat at a local diner. You were avoiding the house, but neither of you would admit it. When you finally did return just before nightfall, you entered the house trepidatiously, as if something was going to jump out at you.

You were greeted by Toby, who wagged his tail and seemed very thrilled by your presence, which was comforting. You found fixings for s’mores in the kitchen, and built a fire in the pit in the backyard. As you sat at the crackling fire, your eyes were frequently drawn to the house, as if you would see someone walk past the window, or worse- a charred face grinning back at you. Eddie gently teased you for getting yourself “all worked up,” but you could tell he was uneasy too.

After a couple of hours the fire began to die out, and it was getting cold. You knew you had to go in, but you took your time gathering up all of your things. As you entered the house from the back door into the kitchen you spotted Toby, who was sitting in the living room at the doorway to the kitchen. It was the first time he hadn't greeted you at the door.

"Hey Toby! C'mere Toby!" you called. He wouldn't come. He didn't growl, he didn't cower, he just stared and wouldn't move.

"That is not like him at all," Eddie said.

"I know," you agreed with building unease.

You both continued calling to the dog, and after no success Eddie walked over to him. He took Toby’s collar by hand and gently pulled, speaking to him in a soothing voice, but he resisted.

He kept looking at you as if he wanted to come because he was a very good boy, but his attention was always drawn back to something else. Something past you, past the kitchen- toward the end of the house that contained the bathroom and Lenny’s office. Your mind was frantically trying to determine what would cause this sweet and intelligent dog to refuse to enter a room in his own house, and it freaked you out.

"Toby! COME!" you yelled.

You regretted shouting at the dog the moment you did it because just as you did, Toby lowered his head and practically crawled into the kitchen to your side where he stood with his tail between his legs, whimpering. You felt sorry for him, but it did nothing to assuage your growing fear.

You apologized to the dog and made your way into the living room, and Toby followed without protest. Too nervous to go right to bed after the event that had just occurred, you turned on the TV. Sure enough, after a few minutes it shut off.

"Maybe the TV is old, and there's something wrong with the wiring," Eddie said, though he seemed unconvinced.

"But how do you explain the rest of the weirdness?"

"Dunno. Maybe Nancy’s right and we're just letting our imaginations get carried away.”

Right after Eddie spoke, a white flash shot past the window.

"Did you see that?" you asked a little too loudly.

"Uh, yeah, I sure did," Eddie replied.

"Probably a white moth reflecting the light from the front porch light." you said. “Right?”

"Yeah, that would have had to be a very large moth.”

“But wait.... the front porch is on the other side of the house."

“You’re not helping,” Eddie said, his eyes darting around nervously.

You sat and stared at the windows for a while. After several minutes, it happened again.

“Alright, what the fuck was that??” Eddie said, his voice increasing in timbre.

"Big white moth, remember?" you weren’t sure why you were trying to convince yourself of this when you didn’t really believe it.

"Right. Big white moth."

Suddenly, right behind your heads on the wall against the sofa you were sitting on, there was a distinctive banging sound. Three distinctive raps, as if someone was pounding with their fist. Thump, thump, thump.

You screamed and Eddie jumped off the couch. The dog barked. It happened again, but it was louder. THUMP, THUMP, THUMP. Toby barked again, but he wouldn't go investigate as one would expect a dog to do. He was scared. So were you.

"What's on the other side of that wall?" Eddie asked.

"The bedroom!" you replied.

"We'll go together to see what it is."

"Are you crazy?!?"

"We have to see if someone is messing with us. What if someone broke in?" Eddie reasoned.

"How dare you use logic at a time like this? Fine. Grab the dog."

As you slowly made your way off the couch and toward the kitchen-- which the bedroom was off of on the left-- you attempted to summon the dog, who would have none of it.

"Forget Toby, he's not coming," Eddie said.

As you neared the bedroom door you heard another sound.

It sounded almost like a tea kettle going off to signify the water is boiling, only it wasn't constant. It fluctuated, almost like a person rubbing their finger across a freshly washed window. But it was loud, and it was in the room with you.

You both screamed and abandoned the bedroom inspection, and instead ran toward the bathroom to put some more distance between yourselves and that awful sound. As you ran past Lenny's study you remembered your nightmare, and squeezed your eyes shut as you hurried by, clutching Eddie’s hand as he guided you toward the bathroom.

The bathroom was at the far end of the house, directly across the hall from the front door. As you neared the bathroom you glanced toward the front door, and then a bolt of terror shot up your spine to your scalp, almost paralyzing you in place.

The front door was wide open.

Eddie was clever enough to grab the cordless phone before your flight to the other end of the house, and you locked ourselves in the bathroom.

"The front door is open! What the fuck? The front door is open!" you stammered in a panic.

"What?!?" Well...we have to close it!"

"I'm not leaving this room!"

"Jesus Christ! We can’t just leave the front door open!"

You called Nancy again. Eddie dialed while you professed your regret– out loud– to Lenny for interfering with his ashes. As usual, Nancy was not impressed. She said you were just being silly and needed to knock it off. Next, Eddie called Steve, who was more appropriately concerned and agreed to come right over, but he lived twenty minutes away. So you waited.

Nothing seemed to happen while you were in the bathroom. Finally after what seemed like an eternity, there was a knock on the bathroom door, making you scream.

"It's just me," Steve’s muffled voice proclaimed from the other side of the door, and you flung it open and practically strangled him with a huge hug.

"You guys left the front door wide open," he said. "You shouldn’t do that; it’s unsafe!"

For the remainder of the week you took care of the feeding and watering duties by arriving solely to do so, and then leaving as soon as you were done. You and Eddie were in agreement that you would not be spending another night in that place.

You told Pam about it, and she said that the strange behavior didn't seem like Lenny at all, but surmised that perhaps he was just trying to get your attention for some reason. Everyone’s heard the stories about people who die sudden deaths feeling confused and unable to move on; perhaps that was the case here. Maybe it wasn't Lenny at all, but something more malicious. You tried not to think about it too much.

Six months later, Pam dreamed of Lenny. In the dream Lenny was standing on a beach waving to Pam. She tried to run to him, but no matter how much she ran she couldn't catch up with him. She then realized with a stab of profound sadness that Lenny wasn't really trying to greet her, but he was actually saying goodbye.

He then turned and walked away from her, while Pam stood and watched. Once Lenny was out of sight, she felt a deep sense of relief. She never dreamed of him again.

A few months later the house burned down.

can I get some timewarp Charles or Dutch? I love your au 😭

cracks every bone in my hands lets fucking gooo

charles blessed and beloved. he died of illness in 1908 but it was so peaceful he died in his sleep in a warm bed and as got sick he accepted it with a very similar flare to hosea talking about bessie where he was quietly hopeful he would get to see arthur again and instead of being jolted to the present like the more violent deaths he just woke up peacefully to an arthur that got to age and looks healthy and is smiling at him so affectionately because he missed him so much

they're in love, your honor

arthur already has his own place (very close to hosea's, of course) so charles immediately moves in with arthur and they fall into domestic bliss without actually having the conversation of 'i know we were close friends and confidants with unaddressed feelings in the past and it's been almost a decade and you had to mourn me but do you want to be my partner for the rest of our natural lives btw i have an adult son'

charles is still awkward though he didn't understand life and people in 1899 sometimes modern era is just too much they'll be grocery shopping and someone will say a new sentence so stupid he has to go sit in the truck and just disengage with society for a while.

he has zero social media presence and cannot handle the constant depression of tv news media. what do you mean people are still fighting over civil rights and racism back in my day you could throw a stick of dynamite at a kkk meeting or shoot a eugenicist in front of the law and no one cared. if he's home alone he's listening to cds on through an actual cd player

charles smith would absolutely fuck with a home depot helping john build beecher's hope awakened something in him. the garage is almost as big as their house on one side you have arthur's eclectic collection of passing interests including the car he's working on and on the other side you have precision organised charles's expanse of every kind of tool you can imagine. hand tools power tools different kinds of wood organized by tree and then grain

he might be a little in love with the customer service guy at the tool shop who is similarly awkward and accidentally blunt with a flat sense of humor. no small talk. just 'this is my project' 'you will need this. this is the brand we're meant to promote but this is just as effective with more attachments and it's cheaper' 'thank you' 'it's literally my job'. sometimes they go to each others workshops to show off their projects he is charles 'doesn't drain my social battery' friend

charles' job title is just 'decent guy with a truck' every construction company in the local area has his number and will send him a text asking him to help out on a job or if they can borrow some obscure power tool only charles smith would have. it suits charles really well because it means he can just turn off his phone and go on a spontaneous three week hunting trip with arthur and isaac without needing to communicate with anyone. people know if you don't hear back within 15 minutes he's turned off his phone and you will hear from him when he gets back from whatever adventure he's gone on with his family find someone else to do the job

for a lot of the gang they almost have to get to know charles again like he became a lot more comfortable with himself as a person between 1899 and 1907 the first time he cracks jokes or acts downright silly they almost don't recognize him. like yass charles be happy.

admittedly he is the guy they call to help build furniture charles doesn't follow ikea instructions he just rocks up with a drill and assembles it the way that makes sense

eliza and charles are besties and arthur lives in constant fear. they go out for coffee and gossip about whatever the latest antic is. she talks to charles honestly more than arthur and takes charles to functions when she needs a plus one because they are both just wallflowers who talk shit about everyone else quietly. isaac sitting patiently in the principal's office having gotten in trouble for something stupid with the most passive aggressive slight smile on his face as he hears charles and eliza pull up (arthur got banned for threatening the principal)

i may need to part 2 this for dutch

Final Gamble

resistance was no good as the same firm hands with mighty strength threw me into what appeared to be the backseat of a horse drawn wagon. voices circled me.

"put her out!"

"right away sir."

a cloth was hastily used against my nose, the repelling smell allowing sleep to descend and pull me into its firm grip this time.

I woke up in a dimly lit room, full of assorted furniture. my hands were no longer bound but my legs were, loosely in such a way that I could walk at a measured pace but never run. I groaned as I got on my feet, my aching muscles complaining.

Through blurry and disoriented vision I saw two men advancing in my direction, instinctively I moved away, hitting against the cold hard furniture behind me. The blonde man, whom I recognised from earlier smirked,

"Well... My lady, we do owe a lot to you. "

"What does that mean? " My incredulous and tartly tone surprising him.

"You see.. " He continued, having recovered from my vocal violence, "you've led him straight to us.. And now that it's done and you're of no use to us.. We're through here.

With that he ushered the other man in and walked out, the man, whom I recognised to be Williams, carrying a rope and thrusting me into a chair like a sack of potatoes before beginning to secure my arms to the chair arms.

With a stroke of quick thinking I slammed my leg with all the force i could muster into his right shin, sending him into a piles of painful moans. Having freed myself of the remaining ties, I, with slight remorse put the man out using an technique Holmes taught me. With great effort and endless heaving, Williams replaced me in the chair and i made my escape through the back door.

I happened to overhear voices overlapping only to be cut off by the unmistakable sinister tone of the professor.

The trade route's too revealing and must serve as an appealing distraction. The personal ferry? The other side? Just as well. The men have assembled asper their assignments.. Well let's get this thorn out of the way once and for all.

I couldn't hear anymore for at that moment the knob of the adjacent door was turned from inside and i made a necessary beeline to the exit.

After which I took some shelter in a local inn down yonder, found a convincing disguise and was headed down towards the port when I happened to see the fire. They must have never realised it was really Williams in there and not me.. I do hope he came through it.

"He did. " Holmes solemnly replied, filling me in with his side of the story.

"I gather", Watson remarked "that his Moriarty fellow has laid out a pretty neat trap. "

"Yes Watson, it's glaringly obvious, I do apologize on his behalf, you see Watson here has a particularly innate habit of stating the obvious. " Holmes remarked with utter nonchalance as Watson looked at him with slight indignation.

I cleared my throat and continued slowly. " The ferry is to set off from the opposite side, the Regent serves as a ruse. They are smuggling gunpowder via it, along with a pretty plan to present you to their leader, two explosion in London planned I believe, with you out of the way, it is bound to succeed. I believe we must not allow the Regent to set sail.

Copied from the transcript:

“Beginning with the first essential concept for a library economy, usufruct refers to the freedom of individuals or groups in a community to access and use, but not destroy, common resources to supply their needs. This is as opposed to the limitation of access based on exclusive ownership.

“Libraries allow you to access and use books when you need them and encourage all of us to be good stewards of the books we borrow, taking care of it when we have it and returning it when we’re done, because it belongs to all of us and should be readily available for use. Imagine this principle applied to libraries of decor, libraries of furniture, or libraries of tools. Perhaps you would borrow cushions, couches, and paintings to suit one interior design taste for a few months before switching it out and trying a new style. You might borrow a shovel from the tool library to get a permablitz done one weekend and return it when you’re done so someone else can use it when they need it. Alternatively, you can keep it for as long as you want to use it. All without having to produce excessively or leave stuff wasting away in storage.

“If we want to live sustainably, we need a library economy. We need an economy based on usufruct that incentivizes producing enough lasting, durable stuff that everyone can share and use when they need it, instead of producing around planned obsolescence and excess, wasting crucial time, energy and resources. A library economy would be an essential component in a move towards degrowth.

“The second essential concept for a library economy is the irreducible minimum, which is the guaranteed provision of the means necessary to sustain life, the level of living that no one should ever fall below, regardless of the size of their individual contribution to the community. This includes access to adequate food, water, shelter, clothing, education, and healthcare.

“Libraries as they exist now provide free access to knowledge, but knowledge is only one component of an individual’s and a community’s self-actualisation, which a library economy should be organised to help reach. Libraries of consumables like food, drugs, and toiletries may be difficult to imagine, which is why in addition to libraries of things, a library economy should also have dispensaries of necessities. Farming cooperatives, in collaboration with cooking collectives, could work to ensure the entire community is provided with a range of healthy food options from the local and regional gardens, farms, and food forests. The popular assembly could organise with building cooperatives to establish a range of housing options to accommodate the needs of each and every member of the community. An emphasis on slow fashion, by a broad and diverse network of designers and tailors, as opposed to fast fashion, would ensure that everyone’s wearing clothing that lasts in the styles that they like.

“A library economy would require a vast reorientation of our priorities from the centrality of capital and competition to the centrality of humanity and cooperation, which brings us to the final core concept for a library economy: complementarity.

“Some people are abled, some people are disabled. Some people are bakers, some people are shoemakers. Some people will farm and some people will sing. People will have a say in how they labour and how they leisure. None of them need to be defined by or limited to the things that they do, but all should find joy or satisfaction or accomplishment in the things that they do for the sake of doing them.

“Together, we will have all the bread, shoes, veggies, and songs we could ask for. And for the things that no one enjoys, as I said in my video on a post-work society, we can find ways to rotate, gamify, or transform the tasks that need doing to make the drudge less drudgerous.

“A library economy should be based upon a complex social ecosystem that fulfills the many necessary roles a society needs filling. Complementarity is a way of looking at non-hierarchical differences within a society as something generative, where each person contributes a small part to an outcome greater than the sum of its parts. Complementarity can be found within communities, ecologies, technologies, and even typical libraries, both in the relationship between libraries and their patrons and in the roles that libraries fulfill, such as research, information architecture, and collection management. Our approach to nature must similarly be based in complementarity. Rather than maintaining an antagonistic, dominating relationship with first nature, we should strive to find a complementary melding of first and second nature, generating a third nature that is reciprocal and sustainable."

...

“Now imagine what a world based on a library economy would look like. Perhaps it would draw some inspiration from the 5 Laws of Library Science, first conceived by Indian librarian S. R. Ranganathan in 1931.

“The first law is that books are for use. Things are meant to be used, not hoarded. Made accessible, not shut away. Preservation and storage are important, Ranganathan himself noted, but more important than that is that consideration is paid to access-related issues, such as location, hours of operation, comfort, and the quality of service.

“The second law states that every person has their book and the third law declares that every book has its reader. Applied more broadly, this means that we should strive to develop a broad collection of things, whether furniture, decor, books, vehicles, or housing that would serve a wide variety of needs and wants, no matter how niche, understanding that those sorts of accommodations are generative of abundant life.

“The fourth law says that we should try to save the time of the user. Libraries require a lot of coordination and effort to maintain, even more so if we intend to apply their concepts upon broader society. Thus, it is vital that we develop systems, services, applications, workflows, guides, and frameworks that allow us to most efficiently manage the resources of the libraries, allowing us to do more with less.

“Lastly, the fifth law reminds us that a library is a growing organism. The aim of a library economy should never be to rigidly establish itself and continue as is. A library economy must be dynamic, ever growing, and evolving in both the quality of the collections held and services provided and in the quantity of those who are effectively served. The project is never complete.”

Propaganda Below

Limitless

Ghost move: "You can walk through walls and fly."

What Makes it so cool?

it's just really funny to think about suddenly unlocking this skill through advancement for a different skin.

Inhabit 3: Claim the Shell

The wraith may enter a relic [ghostly] or a Skinlands [mortal world] object and use it as a surrogate body. He has full control over all its functions and can move parts on their own, though he can't make it do anything else outside its own capabilities. For example, a wraith possessing a revolver can cock the hammer, pull the trigger, and swing out the cylinder and eject spent shell casings, but he can't levitate or aim the gun, nor grasp and load fresh ammunition. His senses function normally, though they're spread across the object's entire surface. If a Skinlands object ie destroyed while the wraith inhabits it, he may bring it across the shroud as a relic (though creating a relic from a container doesn't also create relics from its contents). System: the player spends 3 Pathos and rolls Strength+Inhabit (difficulty of the local Shroud, or 8 in the Tempest [part of the ghostly world behind the veil]). The number of successes required for success depend on the item's size:

1 success Handheld: tablet or notebook computer, handgun,power tool, book 2 successes Two-handed: small appliance, greatsword, web server 3 successes Human-sized: motorcycle, crew-served heavy weapon, office furniture 4 successes Vehicular: speedboat, garage workbench, assembly line laser wielding robot 5 successes Industrial: locomotive, marine diesel engine, newspaper printing press 6+ successes Structural: House, airliner, ship

Claim the Shell lasts for one scene. If the object is destroyed while the wraith is within it, his shadow [evil alter ego] gains 1 temporary Angst per success required to Claim it. However, he may convert the item into a relic by spending 1 Willpower, plus 1 Corpus per success required to claim it.

What makes it cool?

If you read that list of examples and don't get it I don't know what to tell you, but I'll try… This is an ability dripping with flavour. It takes a classic ghost trope, the possessed object, systematises it with just enough limitations to be interesting, considers how it would feel to be that ghost with the sensory description, which is great for a gm, and provides a list to spark your imagination. From an in-game perspective, ghosts can't normally interact with the material world, so getting something like this isn't just incredibly exciting, it basically writes its own stories for at least a couple of sessions as you play around with it. Oh, and you can get (Rare, valuable) relic objects even if the person you're trying to kill with a battleship somehow defeats you! This ability alone makes me want to play wraith every time I read it.

Fortunately, London is teeming with removal companies, ranging from local family-run businesses to larger-scale operations. Utilising online platforms and directories tailored to your area can help identify the closest options available.

Many reputable removal companies offer free consultations and transparent pricing structures, allowing you to compare costs and make budget-conscious decisions. Remember to inquire about any hidden fees or additional charges to avoid surprises on moving day.

Beyond convenience and affordability, prioritise reliability and professionalism when selecting a removal company. Moving homes is a significant life event, and entrusting your belongings to a reputable company can provide peace of mind amidst the chaos. Look for accreditations and affiliations within the industry, as well as adherence to industry standards and regulations.

Furthermore, consider the level of customer service provided by each company. A friendly and responsive team can make all the difference in ensuring a positive moving experience. From your initial enquiry to the final delivery of your belongings, choose a removal company that prioritises customer satisfaction and communication.

While exploring the closest removal companies near you, don't overlook the importance of sustainability and environmental responsibility. Opting for a company that implements eco-friendly practices, such as recycling materials and reducing carbon emissions, can align with your values and contribute to a greener future. Many removal companies now offer environmentally conscious options, so be sure to inquire about their sustainability efforts.

In conclusion, navigating the bustling streets of London requires careful planning and consideration, especially when it comes to selecting international moving company near me. By prioritising proximity, reliability, and professionalism, you can ensure a seamless transition to your new home. Remember to research each company thoroughly, request personalised quotes, and prioritise customer service and sustainability. With the right removal company by your side, you can embark on your new chapter in London with confidence and ease.
