Chapter 338: Honesty
“Are you sure that you want to point your eyes there?” Lila hesitantly asked Jasper, watching him nervously as he continued to stare into the general direction of the sun.
“Don’t worry. It won’t do any damage,” he reassured her mildly, sounding as if he wasn’t quite paying attention to her.
Lila nodded perfunctorily, taking another sip of tea. She didn’t really believe him but didn’t have the heart to do anything about him right now.
Fiddling with the tissue in her nose, her pulled out the pieces and unfurled them, watching the red blood that had absorbed into the fibres.
She turned them upside down and stuck them back in her nostrils before pulling them out again. There were a few specks present from the brief test, but nothing major that she needed to worry about.
Reaching over to the side of the island, she binned the tissues and settled back into her seat. She pulled out her phone and checke

It was alright.Gretel would be alright."I'm sorry you had to go through that. I've heard horror stories and stuff. It wasn't good of them to use students to get out of paying for services," Green_One consoled her, bringing a hand up to tap her a few times on the shoulder."If you ever need to talk to somebody about it, I'm here, and so is Blue. He's better than me at this," Green_One went on to explain, before his hand dropped down and he went quiet.None of them spoke afterwards, the sounds of pencils scratching and paper rustling filled the void between them.Gretel cursed herself.She should have lied.If she had lied and had said literally any other institution, other than the truth, then the situation would have worked out far better, but no.She had to go ahead and think that she could open to the man in front

Lila was eventually let out with an additional plaster on her nose and her hair in a complicated updo of two braided buns sitting side by side and just above her neck. A little bit of hair had been pulled outwards to frame her face and both of the buns had been tied with red ribbons whose ends trailed down to just past her shoulders.She idly thumbed the list in her hands, fiddling with the folded paper as she made her way towards the town centre and the shops. Her first destination was the bank, before anything could be bought, and Lila was already dreading the visit.She didn’t like going to the bank; it made her feel like she could be arrested by just messing up on accident. She didn’t like using the machines that told her to keep all of her pins safe, but hardly offered any protections to allow it, and she hated the noises that all the machines made.“I’ve never been to this part of town,&rdqu

“There’s not a God out there,” Emmet cut in, before grabbing Lila’s shoulder and pointing her towards the bank ATM machines.“Yeah, no. You’re coming with me. Do they still have cards in your future?” Lila asked him.“No. It’s all done with biometric data. Saves more money that way, not having to pay for card production,” Emmet answered her, watching her as she rummaged through her pockets for her wallet.“Really. What do they do about people whose fingers are damaged or have had their fingertips changed? I read somewhere that rock climbers can wear out their fingerprints, but I’m not sure if that’s true,” Lila questioned, before giving out a little celebratory noise when she finally found what she was looking for.She really was a child. A terribly responsible child.“Biometric data can be extracted from other parts of the body as well. Fingerprints, eye scan

Jasper sighed when both Lila and Emmet went off to the store, leaving him alone to continue drinking without getting drunk and filling out all the various forms on his desk, signing away his freedom.Was it worth it?No.Was he still going to do it?Yes.There were too many forms for him to sign on both his own, and Emmet’s behalf, with even a few pertaining to Lila.He could not disclose the fact that he was from a different time or any knowledge about time travelling – a straightforward and simple request that he had no issue with.He could not share any information regarding future events to anyone other than the personnel assigned to both him and Emmet – again, another straightforward and simple request that he had no issue with, but one that he had already broken and would continue to break by discussing his life with both Emmet and Lila.Any technologies that he produced were to be handed over to their a
The Boy who Circled Time Chapter 343: Language
The words on the forms were strange, and it had taken Jasper less than half a line of initial reading to understand why.They had all been written in his mother tongue.They had been written up in the official, government recognised language of Gryaz which looked so much more like the Greek letters in Lila’s history books, than the anglicised ones on the road signs outside.He had read them all by instinct, understanding them and going on as usual.Picking up the form that he had just signed, he recognised the language there as English. Jasper sighed and put it down once more, rubbing at his temples and hobbling to the sink to drink some water.He was so tired.He was so tired of the voices and words that were whispered to him in his mind and were left hanging in his brain for his mouth to say, the effects of the translator that had been fitted into him with the tracking chip still lingering in his psyche.Wondering when the eff

“We’re back!”“I’m home!”Two voices called out from the front door as Jasper finished clearing away all the papers that they had, sealing them in an envelope which he placed underneath the sink to keep from Lila.His eyes widened slightly as he saw a stack of notes kept together with an elastic band. He looked up at the two people who were now stood at his island table who were smiling down at him, with Lila waving cheerily.“There’s money under the sink,” Jasper easily stated, staring pointedly at Lila.“There’s money under the sink,” Lila parroted back, dropping four plastic bags of her shopping onto the island table,” There’s shopping on the table.”“There’s money laundering happening,” Emmet also chimed in, glancing at Lila in what looked to be mock suspicion,” And there’s also something that she wants us to make.

The worry and panic soon gave away to something much less turbulent with Gretel, as she tried her hardest to focus and understand the chicken scratch that somehow managed to pass as handwriting in the eyes of the Sýnnefan officials that had handed the work off to her.It was atrocious and tedious work to complete, especially when Gretel thought that she had managed to understand one particularly badly written word, before she read ahead and saw that no, she hadn't actually been able to decipher the random and eclectic scribbles in front of her.The frustration of it all was a simple, familiar and distracting one - a task that she had already spent hours doing previously when looking over her own old notes and served as a good enough distraction from the world around her.The simple, swooping mechanical movements of her hands gave off a quiet sort of delicacy that she hadn't particularly experienced in a while, the

"Alright! Get Out!"The loud yell forced another freeze into Gretel, as the loud words, from an unknown voice boomed loudly around her, stealing away her breath and inflicting upon her a harsh slap to her sanity.It took Green_One placing a hand on her own to help her return back to the world as thoughts of whether she had done something wrong or had violated some sort of code of conduct and committed some grievous and traitorous error, consumed her and left her empty with little else.The weight of the warm hand steadied her, and she found that she had needed to stare it for a few long, long seconds to even understand and full see that it was with her.He was with her.She hadn't done anything wrong.He did not leave her like the rest.Slowly, taking in a deep shuddering breath to steady herself, Gretel turned around to see the guards much closer to where they were before.No longer were they standing at the door, manning thei
