(Howdy folks. Been a while, eh?

2024 is proving to be a much more complicated year for me than I expected, so unfortunately I still have no ETA on when I'll be able to continue this story. But I do miss the squad.

If you have any doodle requests or questions for the cast, let me know! I'm in an artsy sort of mood.)

When will my beloved (Hat) return from the war

(Author here - apologies for the lack of updates!

Unfortunately, life circumstances have made it difficult for me to consistently find time for personal projects. I'm going to be unavailable for good chunk of March so I'm afraid I can't even promise silly side-sketches right now.

Means a lot that y'all are still interested, though! Rest assured, Hat and co. are still on my mind. They are simply chillin' until the stars align.)

(Happy Saturday! Apologies for no poll yesterday - December is well and truly Decembering. I'm out of juice.

A reminder that there will be no updates next week, as I have the intention of doing absolutely fuck-all between Christmas and New Year. The week after that is also unlikely, but we'll see.

Enjoy the holiday season, and I'll see you in 2024!)

108. Satisfied? (yeah that'll do (but i'm not un-fucking things until they say please) - 50%)

"Okay!" says the reporter. "PLEASE!"

Nothing seems to happen.

And then everything happens. Wham, bam, smack. Two bodies hit the floor and one hits the shelves.

(neck hurty. if this gets out of the queue assume i'm taking a break from the tablet and will be back tomorrow)

[830poll]

107. "Now, can you put gravity back already?" (hold on i wanna check something first (look outside) - 33.3%)

Unless you're planning to use Albin's pet as a grappling hook, I'd say the door is a bit out of your reach right now.

Don't worry, I can look for you.

106. Seems you four are getting the hang of today. (ok. very much rubbing it in. but do you believe us now - 33.3%)

The camerawoman heaves a sigh. "Fine. Fine! You win! Monsters are real and magic paintings control the orientation of Port Byrock."

[830poll]

I. (Unless you have any ideas...?) (i'm not feeling this malevolent entity haunting the cartridge (reset for shiny) - 29.4%)

(On that note, happy Saturday! Next week will be the last set of polls for the year, as I'm one of those people who refuses to be productive between Christmas and New Year's.

See you Monday!)

[830poll]

I. (Okay, what are you naming this thing?) (dudeskull - 26.7%*) (| |- || |_ - 26.7%*)

(Alright. Compromise. Before this turns into a six-page forum debate.)

(I'm noticing a slight hitch in this plan, and that's that the first encounter is always a Normal type. Poor Dudesku|_|_ can't hurt it!

[830poll]

(out of office, back tomorrow!)

[830poll]

I. (Okay. Well. What starter are you going with?) (GHOST. (Oh it's haunted isn't it.) - 54.5%)

(Never buy unlabeled cartridges at garage sales.)

[830poll]

I. 5 x 4 = ? (Answer! - 22.2)

(Well, you got the two right! Very right. You did not need to write it three times but I admire the enthusiasm.)

((play pokemon for a bit) - 33.3%)

(That said you're a terrible influence and I'm never letting you lot babysit again after this.)

[830poll]

(Heyo, author here - per my last email this week will be light on the story. Welcome to the intermission variety hour:tm:.)

(This is Bee! She doesn't live in Byrock, but my calculator broke so I'm coming to you for advice. Bee is learning multiplication! Can you help her with the answer?)

[830poll]

(Happy Saturday!

All right. Yeah. This weekend is pretty packed and next week is looking like it's gonna be nonstop certified December. I don't see myself having much brain space to write so i'm thinking it's gonna be some nonsense polls or general worldbuilding.

May the month be relatively free of chaos for you all 🙏)

105. You might want to grab on to something. ((grab your friends) - 50%) ((grab the creature-- hey where the hell did it go) - 20%)

The reporter has just enough time to slap their coworker and declare "Look what you've done now!" before gravity takes its sabbatical.

"Oh! Huh." says Hat.

"Persephone!" Albin cheers. "Good kitty!"

You may not have quite had time to retrieve Albin's pet, but it seems it remembers its earlier jaw strength.

104. "So, you should really stop yelling weird stuff at the top of your lungs. People might start acting like it's true." (ha ha yeah hey albin show them the footage of that thing that almost ate mothman - 63.6%)

The reporter gets to their feet, curious to see where you're going with this.

If Albin is looking for buttons he won't find them - that's one of my cameras. There's bits and bobs for manually fixing the lenses up, but for security purposes I'm the one who actually controls it.

Give me a sec, I'll get it going for you. Talk amongst yourselves

(What do you think would happen if someone flipped the painting upside-down? - 33.3%*)

(*Previous tie resolved!)

Albin stops fidgeting. A look of horror passes over his face.

The camerawoman, meanwhile, just frowns. "Me? Nothing. You're being paranoid. Tilting a painting can't tilt the world, let alone change-"

Ty or maybe Gab's hat hits the ceiling. She says nothing.

This is going to suck.
