claps!! I do like the notion of Oscar as a shrike, and we can absolutely use that AU to give him some magic that could also help with investigative and/or psychological aspects of the plot versus the fighty ones. Do you have a notion of some things he'd be good at/you'd enjoy doing with him in that respect?

I'm also totally down to people just sort of poking into background lore/picking stuff up in the aftermaths of fights, too, since probably figuring out how this pocket dimension even happened... may be useful for future Sleeper stuff.
