    Summary

    Mister Wizard won’t meet his eyes.

    And—honestly, Max thinks that might be a bit unfair. Like—sure, he messed up. What else is new?

     

    Or, Max Blunder was always going to be a screw-up. It was his destiny since birth—even his name set the precedent for the rest of his life. He had made his peace with that, after so long.

    So why does it hurt so much when he makes this mistake?

    Summary

    The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.

    “I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”

    With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.

    This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.

    “Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”

    - or -

    Grian is a vet. After a chance encounter in the dead of night, during which he accidentally saves a villain from the brink of death, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a world beyond anything he could've ever imagined.

    Summary

    The insurmountable sound of the roof caving in, the support beams failing, and the marble decorations shattering around him seemed to stop all at once. There was nothing but silence. Cold, abrupt, threatening silence.

    As quickly as it had begun, the disaster simply ceased.

    “Woah,” an unknown voice chimed, echoing through the rubble. A man smiled down at him, his expression bordering somewhere between surprised and amused. “You’ve caused quite a bit of chaos here, haven’t you?”

    - or -

    After accidentally wreaking havoc inside a temple in the woods, Grian finds himself indebted to a god he doesn't know, as well as a strange man who calls himself the temple's priest.

    Summary

    Impulse would be the first to tell you that paranormal investigation of any sort is a dangerous job. Sure, any job has its risks; mistakes have consequences wherever you work, whatever you do. It just so happens that the consequences associated with ghost hunting are slightly more…dire than for your average job.

    Ghost hunting could turn out to be deadly. Not permanently, of course; instant revivals had made sure of that.

    Still, returning from the dead…it wasn’t an easy task. Even with the assistance of instant revivals, it's rough. It has...effects, without fail.

    Impulse has made it a point to teach every new teammate—Grian, Scar, Gem—that everyone reacts differently to deaths. And especially to being brought back. Impulse, as an example that he provided to the group, explained his own experiences with returning to life.

    Recovering from the deaths was never easy, but they’ve always managed. Even when things don’t go quite as planned.

     

    Or, five times the GIGGS crew deals with returning from the dead, and one time things go terribly, horribly wrong.

    Summary

    Nick had no idea that his con on the bunny cop would lead him down such a precarious path.

    Yet, here he was, facing the consequences of actions, and not all his own for once. Most of which felt like Judy’s doing (if he was just counting that day) for landing him in this miserable situation. Then, he was reminded that this was just part of his station in life, a loose strand from his poor past choices coming back to strangle him.

    After all, he didn’t have to sell that rug... Right?
