Okay, so being a detective's assistant isn't as glamorous as it sounds. There's a lot of running, dodging, almost getting cursed, and Liam giving me his signature disappointed dad stare every time I "accidentally" provoke a ghost. (In my defense, it was already mad).
But hey, it's not all bad! We solve some pretty bizarre cases-supernatural hauntings, creepy murders, missing persons, and the occasional "Is this artifact going to kill me? " situation. And lucky for us (mostly me), I have light magic! Super handy for, you know, not dying.
Liam? Oh, he's the classic detective type-cool, sharp, and completely unimpressed by my creative problem-solving skills (which may or may not include bribing spirits with snacks). But deep down, I think he appreciates my help. Probably. Hopefully?
Anyway, lately, things have been getting extra weird, even by our standards. Something big is happening in the city, and I have a bad feeling we're about to end up knee-deep in trouble. Again.
But hey, what's a little danger when you've got an overworked detective, questionable decision-making skills, and a bit of magic on your side?
Sincerely,
Penelope Harper

End:-
Far, far, FAR, into the future, and I mean, like really far into the future; some stuff happened. The world ended, but that was a long time ago (don't worry about it). Humanity had no choice but to flee into space and then we came face to face with the same age-old issue: how are we going to pay rent this month?
I was literally about to sell my organs, but then I discovered a better solution: crime.
Time travel somehow got involved in the mix, honestly, I'm a bit foggy on the details. Time travel's complicated, okay?!
It all started with this guy Robert. He messed up at work. And I mean, he really messed up. Normally you'd just get fired, but he knew too much. He didn't just need to disappear, he needed to be erased. That's where I come in. Me and Ronnie were gonna kill him, but like, consensually. I know that doesn't make a lot of sense, but it will. Bear with me.
We did it, alright-it was easy. Whoops, spoilers. It was everything that happened after that that really threw us for a loop
I got stuck and I couldn't get unstuck. I forgot a lot of things and it took a long time for me to remember, but then I forgot and it happened all over again. And again. And again. And again. I told you time travel is a mess.
