Fall Update

Just a little note for the season. I won't be online much through the holidays, and wanted to let you know why.

This post should be a Goals Summary or even the belated Monthly Recap, but I’m gonna be real honest with you – I don’t have the energy for all of that right now. Fall is here, the weather is dark and a little dour. I’ve been off my ADHD meds for about a month and I’m exhausted. What energy I do have is getting divvied up between my home, family, work, and the book. That’s it. For those things to…

Honestly, I need to update this tumblr, there are so MANY changes I want to make since my interests are officially all over the place.

I think my main character moment was being in a class with ONLY boys for 4 years, and every year I was the one with the highest grades

rdr2 thought of the day, it took Arthur ages and I mean AGES to get good at workworking. why? as a young guy he seriously lacked patience. my guy definitely has some scars just by missing the stick with the knife.

Chapter 29, Go Below, is up!

(I am having sooooooo much fun.)

Lestrade and Mycroft stepped through the Workworks tunnel entrance. A moment later, the liquid stonework rebuilt itself as a solid wall blocking the entry to his tiny posh office. Lestrade moved to follow Adler and stumbled in the darkness. 

Mycroft caught his arm, steadying him. “Adler, light, if you please. Not all company present can change their eyesight to see in the dark.”

The Shapeshifter grumbled, but the tunnel suddenly pulsed with blue light that emanated from Adler’s very skin as they strode away down the tunnel. 

“How are they… glowing ?” Lestrade whispered, following at a cautious distance as if Adler’s light might be caustic.

“Bioluminescence,” Mycroft replied quietly. “They can adapt to any environmental need – extreme heat, extreme cold, breathing air or water.”

“That’s… bloody remarkable.”

“Mm, indeed. And very useful as a spy.”

Lestrade ran his fingertips along the tunnel walls as they walked. It was smooth and rounded, sloping down steadily as if it had been left behind by some enormous worm tunneling to the middle of the earth. “So what’s this clever plan, Mycroft?” He tried to keep his voice light, though he was vibrating with nerves.

Do you have names for any of the new parents?

I do. I'll give you a rundown of what each of them do as well.

Cricket's dad is named Johannes, and is one of the main investigative journalists at the Key Manati Horn, the island's newspaper. He expects a lot of Cricket because he sees how dutiful and intelligent his son is. He likes to collect rare first-edition classic novels.

Cricket's mom is named Emily, and is the meteorologist for KMTV, the island's news station. Her peppy demeanor has endeared her to the island's population. She enjoys crocheting.

Bee's dad is named Arturo, and he's the only honest car mechanic in all of Key Manati, which gets him more than enough business to make up for not screwing people over. He's the picture of "loving what you do and you'll never work a day in your life", as he loves to fuck around with cars.

Bee's mom is named Carmen, and she's a stylist. She's pretty insightful and chatty, so getting your hair or nails done by her is practically getting a free therapy session as well. She likes going out dancing with her husband and trashy telenovelas.

Bee's grandma is named Maria. She was a nurse for decades, but is retired now. Her husband died a while ago, but she still wears her wedding ring and isn't looking for anyone new I'm afraid. Her main hobby used to be quilting, but Bee got her into video games and now she's become the scourge of the online shooter scene.

Vanitas' dad is named Mortis. He's Cronus' #1 thug, his go-to guy for anything and everything. If Cronus needs something done, Mortis will do it efficiently and discretely. In his spare time, he likes to see how long he can hold a lighter to his hand before he flinches. There's something fucking wrong with him. He also likes to bake.

Vanitas' mom is named Maya. She's a stay-at-home mom. She and Mortis have a complicated relationship. They drive each other nuts in all the good and bad ways. They've been separated, they've gotten back together, they just don't seem to work together or apart. They're probably better off together so nobody else has to deal with either of them. Maya likes shopping and going to the firing range.

Orion's dad is named Imhotep. That may or may not be his birth name, he's cagey about it. He got an OEL manga deal with Tokyopop a long time ago and was one of the few to make it work. He's been updating it since then. It's a battle manga about the egyptian gods being real and giving people super powers in the sands of Neo-Cairo. He is why Orion is the way he is.

Orion's mom is named Jamila, and she's an OBGYN. She loves her husband and son very much, but wishes they were like, 5% quieter. She likes going running and playing tennis.

Brittany's dad is named Bernard, and he's a senior software engineer. Not even on anything exciting like a video game, he works on something that tracks the regional stability of milk distribution. He has a workshop in a shed in the back yard where he toddles about doing workworking projects and home improvements.

Brittany's mom is named Joyce, and she's a real estate agent. Straight-up, NGL, she's into bimbofication. Her husband isn't even particularly into that, she's doing it to herself for herself. Like, not to kinkshame or anything but geeze. She also really likes the beach and swimming, so when Key Manati first opened itself to immigration she was the one who led the charge for the family moving there.

Kavya's dad is named Viraj, and he's an ecologist. He's studying the impact that Queen Izzy's introduction of hyenas into Key Manati has had on the local fauna. So far it seems to be a positive, as they've culled the invasive deer population down to a manageable amount. He'd love to be able to study the fish-girls, but that's sketchy political territory, so the Key Manati government is treading lightly. He's got a whole room in the house dedicated to his model trains.

Kavya's mom is named Nisha, and is an astronomer at the Key Manati Aeronotical Society for Space EXploration. (do not abbreviate it) Specifically, she monitors radio signals and background radiation from deep space for anomalies, so she works in a totally different department from Noah. She likes the job quite a lot because she's a very quiet, introverted person, who doesn't like most people, and it allows her to be alone and quiet for long stretches of time. In her free time, she enjoys reading gothic horror and indie analog horror stations.

That was a big one! Hope I didn't talk your ear off!

It's been half a month since we returned and a full one since we resumed plans to develop our games now!

After good discussion, we decided to focus on one project while we gain momentum as a team. We want to bring out the best in each game we make, and it will be worth the wait!
