    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

    Scar held the bag of gold aloft, waving it over his head as his team cheered. It hadn’t been too difficult to take down the target, just a rogue golem that had slipped out of its control spell and rampaged through a small village, but the reward had been a few dozen gold pieces, plus a boost to the mercenaries’ reputations.
    He barely noticed as an almost imperceptible weight vanished from his right side. He quickly whipped around, searching the crowd as his hand patted his belt, predictably finding the sack of gold they’d earned today missing. Sighing, Scar rolled up his sleeve and pressed the pad of his thumb against the True Sight sigil Inked into his skin, the pair of eyes lighting up as he applied pressure and spoke the activation phrase.
    The brunet winced at the wave of energy rolling through him, blinking a few times to adjust to the new wave of information hitting his brain as every detail became ten times sharper. He quickly noticed his target, a short man with a hair color between blonde and brown who was turned away from him and in the process of slipping a certain bag under his jacket. Grinning to himself, Scar calmly began to walk after the pickpocket; the thief was good, but not good enough.

    Summary

    “Oh…” Jayce utters, in a curiously breathless tone, but his face is completely blank as he stares intently at his laptop screen. “What… what did you do?”

    “Went in the Registry Editor and changed the DependOnService value to RPCCS.” replies Viktor as evenly as he can, knowing that his entire explanation will just sound like absolute gibberish, and his lips twitch imperceptibly when Jayce just blinks at him in silence, at least until his expression flickers into a more pinched look that Viktor doesn’t know how to interpret.

    “That’s-” Jayce starts to say, before halting himself abruptly, and all of a sudden his slanted mouth melts placidly into a very dangerous, very charming boyish smile. “I have no idea what that means.”

    (Viktor has encountered all sorts of IT issues in his company, but their new salesman's bad luck with his laptop is truly bizarre... and maybe even a bit suspicious.)
