Chapter 342: Useless Housewife
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

Gretel had to stop and stare when she saw what awaited for her in the food hall.The same grey mush that she had been forced to consume for breakfast laid there on the tables as if there was nothing else that the facility could offer her, or more likely, was willing to offer her, considering that she was just a prisoner from Gryaz doing free labour for them, because they were incapable and unwilling to do the work themselves.Green_One yanked her along and brought her properly into the room with the rest of them to not hold up the line, as soon as his arm had straightened up, him walking in front of her and leading her to her meal.She let go of his hand and walked over to her own table, attempting to sit down while making the least amount of noise possible, cringing internally at the screeching sounds and the painful squeaking of the structure.Ducking her head down to eat her food, Gretel hesitated to even try and pick up her spoon, the metal shiny and
The Boy who Circled Time EXTRA GRETEL Chapter 348: Thought and Shoes
The hour of free time afterwards solidified the idea of her being in a prison, and that Gryaz would definitely never let her come back.After all, why would a place so hostile to those who had broken its own laws, putting them away in tiny compartments to stew for a while, hoping that they would simply die off with the inadequate food, inadequate space, inadequate healthcare, and inadequate funding that the people were to be exposed to.Gryaz didn't care about its own prisoners, so why would it care about another nation's prisoners, especially an enemy nation's prisoners?But then again, hypocrisy was the life blood of the system that they all lived under.She had no idea of what was on offer, what she could so, and more importantly, where she should go.Surely there had to be at least some sort of tiered system of activities with some more desirable and others less so, but Gretel had no idea of what was available to her and all the others.

"Your choices of entertainment for your one free hour, away from your work, are as follows," another stated at the front of the room.He stood in front of Gretel and the rest of all the others from Gryaz, who were still all sitting down and clueless and aimless, not knowing what was being expected from them and what they should be doing for the Empire that had kidnapped them and was using them as free labour."There is a library, you may use your shared office space as a common room, you may use the computers offered for your work service to play games that will be locked when the allotted hour for free time is complete, you may also play music from a list of certified songs and genres..."Gretel stopped listening as soon as she heard the word 'library' knowing immediately where she would be going to try and have some alone time, in complete isolation, away from everybody else, even if there was still a camera on her.Safety in numbers was certainly a val

Gretel, following behind the incarnation of madness in front of her, walked as slowly as and far as she was possibly willing to go to get away from the guard who was currently responsible for her, regretting each and every thought of rebellion that had occurred to her mind and wanting to almost fall to her knees and beg for forgiveness at her recent spike in anger spells and her mood swings.She wanted to leave.She wanted to go home.She wanted to get out of here.She needed to calm down.breathe inone two three four fivebreathe outone two three four fiveShe wanted to leave.She wanted to go home.She wanted to get out of here.She needed to calm down.breathe inone two three four fivebreathe outone two three four&nbs
