    Summary

    In the wake of Junior Year, Riz’s bad health choices, caffeine addiction, and PTSD start catching up with him and Riz starts experiencing sleep paralysis. He is super normal about it. (He’s not normal about it.) Unfortunately, sleep paralysis demons are hard to distinguish from real demons and when a pro bono cold case goes hot, Riz finds himself in strange company.

    AKA: Riz’s sleep paralysis demons all just look like Kalina. I’m sure that won’t go anywhere bad.

    Summary

    At the beginning of his senior year, Riz decides to start looking into what happened to his mother’s pension.

    It snowballs from there.

    Or, Riz hunts for justice and finds a whole lot of love, instead. He does also find justice, of course. He's Elmville's best private investigator, after all.

    Summary

    Riz grabs the mug. He smiles. “I would love to watch the Great Gnomish Baking Show with you guys,” he tells Fig. “And I can't wait to finish this tea.”

    “That's the spirit,” Fig cheers, about-facing to march into the living room. “Riz on the road to rest and relaxation, baby!”

    “That's basically a song title right there,” Kristen says.

    “Hey, kind of! Riz, can I write a song about your journey to becoming a more centered individual?”

    “Sure,” Riz says, because Kipperlilly would never say yes to that. And he's not Kipperlilly.

    (Or: After the events of Junior Year, Riz resolves to stop drinking coffee and start relaxing. It's not as easy as it sounds.)

    Summary

    Only a week or so after that incident, Adaine asked him if she could borrow some notes of his on something he’d researched before. If they were anywhere, they’d be in his briefcase, but when he reached in to grab them, his hand remained inexplicably empty. He tried again, calling the notes to him. He felt a definite tug, confirming that the folder in question was, in fact, in his briefcase, but before they could be summoned to him, something else tugged back. Hard.
    Adaine was looking at him expectantly.
    “Just having some trouble with my briefcase. Not entirely sure what it could be,” Riz lied. He had a very strong suspicion as to what, or who, might be causing this, but he didn’t particularly feel like bringing up Baron and reigniting that conversation. “I’ll have to go in and take a look. Be back in a second.”

    ***

    There is an evil goblin mannequin living in The Ball's briefcase, and Riz can only ignore them for so long.

    Summary

    "In light of the pontiff's death, we're assigning bodyguards to members of the clergy for their safety," the Deputy said, before Crick or Temenos could question her. "Thus, you are to stay by the Inquisitor's side. Wherever he goes, you go. Is that understood?"

    ...What?

    (What if Crick's reassignment was to stay by Temenos' side as a bodyguard?)
