âRight.â
Mitch decided he didnât like this girl. Not one bit.
âWhy am I here again?â
âYouâve been breaking the rules,â Blair said bluntly, his voice discouraging. Mitch colored.
âTrinity is in charge of security. She has a good eye for detail,â Grell explained. âAnd weâve noticed some disturbances.â
âYouâve been using your skillz,â Trinity declared. Jumping onto the nearest bench, she placed her hands on the sensor pad. With a flicker, the screen came to life. Trinity opened a folder and selected a document. As it loaded, hundreds of links filled the pages. Scanning through them recklessly, Trinity picked a link. Security camera footage played once it loaded.
The scene depicted a busy climbing gym. In the corner, high above the other climbers, a familiar form climbed up the multi-colored knobs. Little more than halfway, the figure stopped. A moment passed before the screen glitched. After the glitch, the climber began again. He reached the top and tapped the bell before rappelling down to meet two other familiar people.
Trinity turned her head to peer innocently at Mitch. âWas that you?â
Mitchâs first instinct was to say âNo, of course not! Iâm not that stupid!â, but the truth prohibited him. âYeah, that was me.â
âWhy did you do it?â Grell questioned.
Mitchâs face reddened. âIt was stupid. I just wanted to show off.â
âHeck yeah, it was stupid!â Trinity tittered. Sage and Windsor shared exasperated glances. Apparently, Mitch wasnât the only one who shared a less than complimentary opinion of Miss Rainbow.
Grell sighed. âWell, Mitch, that was technically against the rules. I congratulate you for projecting so well, but... rules are rules. We never use our skills without good reason.â
âOh, yeah, I forgot about this!â Trinity declared as she pulled up another document. Instead of a video, the top of the paper read âSTATUS REPORT: Mitchell Hollidayâ. Underneath the title, a report detailed a certain instance concerning a certain Amy Schuler and how Darkening had been used during a conversation. Trinity scrolled down to show another report describing a failed projection and immediate Darkening. Agents had been deployed to cement darkening.
âI wonât do it again, I swear,â Mitch said. âI just got.... I just got excited. I was having a lot of fun.â
Sage nodded sympathetically. âYeah, I get it. Itâs hard to fight the temptation.â
âItâs just so easy,â Mitch muttered.
âYouâre lucky itâs so easy,â Grell added. âMost would be in extreme trouble right now. Failed darkening or projections are serious business.â
âCrucially so,â Windsor added. Mitch sensed the criticism acutely.
â...How did you find out about it?â Mitch asked. He thought he had been completely alone in his thoughts.
âReavers monitor the dream-state and reality 24/7. Itâs a mental net, meant to catch any reaving activity. Anything above the normal range is reported and put into the records. With your skill, you stick out,â Grell explained.
âLike a sore thumb,â Trinity said.
âOr a fluorescent jacket,â Sage added.
âOr a⸺â
âI get it!â Mitch snapped. His mistakes were embarrassing enough without his peers teasing him. âI know I went too far. Iâm sorry. I wonât do it again.
