#WIPSnips October 15 care
High school councilor Vred's session with female student, Holdidia is interrupted by the distraught student, Attan.
From "Tales of Midbar: Ghost Mage" - www.inkitt.com/stories/632029

Background, a spooky bird flying.

Vred: Do you mind leaving us Holdidia?
Holdidia: Everybody's more important than me!
Vred: This is clearly urgent. Come back in half an hour!
Holdidia: That's mechanics and Gilmashni will be fluttering her eyes at Nold!
Vred: Well come back some other time then!
Holdidia: Nobody cares about me!

Holdidia leaves.

Attan: Don't let the bird in!

Attan jumps up from the chair and slams the door behind Holdidia and looks around the room anxiously.

Vred: Now calm down. Sit back down, there's no bird in here.

Attan sits back down.

Attan: She can be hard to see. Not sure if she can be completely invisible or if she can go through solid objects.

This should be happening and not only in Chicago but LA, Portland, Memphis and anywhere else ICE is deployed against unarmed civilians!

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense.

I've heard that NASA wastes a lot of money by starting projects that get cancelled by the next president. Perhaps they should introduce a law to stop presidents from interfering in this way!

Eric Trump needs to F#ck right off! I will never understand how the POTUS (Pedophile of the United States)'s grifting family including Jared and his dad??? are even given voices and roles in his pathetic administration. This is an absolute reign of terror! Can't wait for this evil circus to end! 😡

Pardon me if I delay celebrating this vile cretin losing until those poor Sandy Hook families he victimized for cheap publicity see all of the cash. I don't trust him for a second.

Tenacious and his friends are getting unwelcome attention from a strange police officer named Bland.
From "Tales of Midbar: Exiled Angel" - www.inkitt.com/stories/624474

Background: A ruin on the edge of canyon.

"Anyway," said Generous, "they've produced a few anavim, most of whom have relocated to other sephirot but Bland, and probably the royal family, thinks they've been disappeared by the XT's. Therefore, he thinks that Beauty has some strange relationship with the XT's because she's the oldest of the anavim they've bred who hasn't disappeared and she's employing drop-offs and has a history of being
interested in them. It seems by their reasoning that Freethinking should also have disappeared but for some reason Bland thinks he's different from Beauty."
"The fake drop-offs were the only people I got on with!" said Beauty. "Later, I befriended some of the last real drop-offs to help fake drop-offs act realistically. By the way, all the real drop-offs I've met have been naviim and as far as I know, they all married naviim, often other drop-offs and formed a true-breeding navi extended family."
"It sounds like they're doing the same thing as us," I said. "Only nibeyim can't teleport."
"They can go through wormholes," said Freethinking.
"That's very dangerous," said Breeze, "and requires difficult magic."
"It's more likely they're just coming from off-world or perhaps the Big Sea," said Fascinating.
"But none have come in the last forty years," I said. "And now a bunch have disappeared, including descendants of the ones from forty years ago."

Sometimes, I heard voices or even leaves rustling and thought it was people speaking Universal Human.

Is there a source for this? It's rather damning if true.
