Café de Nuit

" This young man came at my request. " Niles answers quickly. " He was in the midst of asking for guidance when the message came that there was an emergency at the Boiler House. " " As for Christine, she's been too distraught to give us a clear picture of what's happened thu...

Since he is not yet aware of the scandalous tale that Christine has used to cover up her true reasons for being outside school grounds, Niles assumes for a moment that Miss Fairfax is directing her angry gaze at the unknown student who has accompanied the group, either having somehow discovered his ...

" To be sure, " Niles says soothingly in response to Christine's tearful words, " we can go somewhere more peaceful to discuss this. Perhaps we can all go to the chapel to sort out whatever has gone awry. " If Christine and Oliver agree, he gently leads them away, still bringing ...

Niles recognizes Oliver immediately. It takes him a moment longer to realize that the girl crying out in apparent distress is Christine, since her current demeanor is so unlike the confidence she had projected in their past interactions. The deacon rushes to the side of the two students, ignoring th...

Although he does not slow his pace, Niles makes a mental note of the girl's appearence, wondering if she might be another messenger sent to request additional help.

Sorry Ail, didn't realize that you had replied until today.

" Of course, " the young chaplain responds. " Please give me a moment to get a few things. " Stepping back inside the room, Niles quietly tells the confessed former conspirator. " There's been an emergency by the Boiler House that I've been called to help with. If ye feel t'...

Niles opens the door just enough to slip through, then closes it behind him.

"Hello" he says to the latest visitor, with slightly forced cheeriness.

Yes; it's not an issue. Thank you for letting us know ahead of time.

Privately, Niles doubts that this mysterious “she” killed Gribble herself. The wounds he saw when helping to attend to the funeral arrangements were like those inflicted by a starving beast, rather than anything a human could have done. Still, Basil’s death must somehow be connected with this secret...

The unexpected clang of the medallion against the table, as well as the terror in the mysterious students face and voice as he reveals it, causes Niles to start momentarily from the the table. In the next moment, the theology student recovers himself, recognizing it was the now familiar emblem resti...

ETA: It's a fanzine, actually. Didn't realize that. so, I assume it will continue to be free? dunno... still, looks great! It looks like it will continue to be free; it's still possible to get past issues of the same fanzine (I picked up a copy of issue #11, dealing with the devil-influenced countr...

Sympathetically, Niles says, " Surely we can pray together for aid with whatever is causing ye such distress. " The young assistant chaplain fetches his copy of The Book of Common Prayer from the nightside table, where it was stacked with a number of similar religious texts. Kneeling next ...

Niles looks at the student for a moment, silently considering, then says solemnly: " If ye chose to unburden yer conscience to me, what ye said would remain in confidence between us until ye chose to reveal it to others, just as if ye'd shared yer story with a priest fully ordained. But that is...

It takes Niles a moment to decypher this unknown students' demands. If what he needs is simply to take someone into confidence, then it should be possible to answer his request. But is he implying that someone is reading his thoughts? Maybe this is more a problem for the college's medical staff. Or ...
