“Mr.Hemly if I’m correct?”
“...hello...”
“I wanted to ask you some questions about the death of Mr. flouts.”
“Okay…”
“First off Mr.Deets said you attempted to pull Mr. Flouts out of the fountain is that correct?”
“Yes.”
“Would you recall what happened before you all witnessed the event”
“…”
“Anything you remember helps.”
“Andy and I were working a Nightshift, I turned on the office radio. We listened to ain’t nothin' but a hound dog, I love that song. Did you know Elvis didn’t write that song? It was actually some guys named Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. It's been recorded 250 times, and I’ve heard almost every version. It's actually about some lady named Big Mama she-”
“That's very interesting Mr. Hemliy but unimportant to the case at hand. Please try to stay on topic.”
“Sorry, anyway, Andy didn’t want to listen to a hound dog. He wanted to listen to Mr. Sandman. We both like old-sounding music he likes slower-paced songs than I do though. That one’s by-”
“Focus Mr. Hemily stay on topic.”
“I was on topic!”
“I don’t mean to be rude, but, I don’t need to know that you have the same tastes in music. I’m sure Mr. Mansand and Doghound are wonderful songs with a very colorful history, but they do not relate to the death of Mr. Flouts. What happened next?”
“Well, we worked for a bit, Andy looked out the window, and saw Mr. flouts shove his head in the fountain, then we both ran out.”
“Did anything of note happen BEFORE you both saw this? Other than music disputes, obviously, did you see Mr.Flouts before this.”
“Yeah, at the water cooler, Andy got a flu shot last week. Fouts seemed pretty mad, he told him it was immoral and he should be ashamed of himself. Even threatened to get him fired for it. Mr. Deets showed up and Scott walked away. I think he knew he’d get in trouble.”

“He threatened to fire Mr. Mandez over a shot?”
“Yeah…”
“It's October, Why would that be immoral?”
“Because there’d be more ‘problems’ like me.”
“Well, that's not very nice.”
“No...I was fine but Andy was mad about it, really mad. He said Mr. Flouts is mean, and, that's why he’s all alone. That's why I try to be nice, so I don’t have to be alone like him.”
“Well, I think you're a very nice person.”
“Thank you… Andy’s nice too… he’s a little grumpy sometimes but he wouldn’t hurt anyone.”
“... no, it seems not. Tell me, did you notice anything… off about Mr. Mandez before Flout's death?”
“Like what?”

Displacement
or, Deux Navires Passant dans la Nuit If you wake up in a new world, with only your memories of home to guide you, you have to trust the first people you meet. The first people Leah meets seem to know her - but not her. Leah is thrust into a fighter's role that does not quite suit her, and those who 'rescued' her do their best to help her fit in. They hint at a world that Leah can only vaguely understand without serious research and exploration, but how to do that research, when everyone believes her to be a local of this place, and too many questions might draw unwanted attention? And what about home? The more Leah learns about this world, the less she believes that she woke up on the right side of the bed - or more accurately, on the right side of the conflict. With magic being strictly regulated in her current "home," maybe it's time to uproot and look for a new set of allies... -- Displacement is a queer / lgbt bodyswap isekai: Leah Armande falls out of a Quebecois city into an unfamiliar fantasy world, and Leah Talesh falls out of her adventuring party's homeland and into an unfamiliar industrial world. The story follows both women as they navigate their new surroundings, trying at times to find a way home, at times just to pass for a local, and at times to actually make a life for themselves in their new world. Expect in-depth politics and worldbuilding, sapphic moments, foibles, and far too much time spent either in libraries or convalescing (or sometimes both).
