Yeah, even if the answer to whether or not Alexis is supernatural is 'yes', don't expect any exciting amazing powers from her or her use of any of that to solve problems; she's hypothetically not that supernatural.

Beatrice is normal, but that's partly because I just love pitting ordinary people against fantastic situations. Just love that trope, when someone is able to navigate magical and supernatural things using just their wits alone. It just feels so satisfying to me. That's one of my favourite things too. 💖

*takes a moment to fangirl over Nut 's surprise artpost* 8D That was the best surprise. (A reply is coming up. I don't have time tonight, but I will get to it asap!)

For some reason, I'm unable to see any of the art Nut is posting. It either doesn't load or it posts broken images. I'm I the only one with the problem? (I ask so I can troubleshoot this and know whether it's just on my side or not.)

(I ask so I can troubleshoot this and know whether it's just on my side or not.) I have no problem seeing the art on the forum. However, if I try to drag the image into the search bar or view the image by itself, Photobucket's site appears instead and says Which seems to be a recent development, and annoys me to no end. And makes me feel like never whitelisting Photobucket just to spite them, but that's another story.

8DD Killix I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks for your awesome reference drawing of Venia, she's so cool! (I wasn't sure how long her hair was though, so I threw it over her shoulder to be ambiguous. XD; ) And no rush with the response! I'm still kind of expecting to go inactive at some point XD; Gelquie D: I'm sorry you're having that issue. I'm guessing it could have something to do with Photobucket as June Scarlet said, since they haven't been the most reliable image host lately >>; I may have to consider switching if it happens too much, but I'm hoping not to. -_-

TEST BIRB: They were having issues just a few days ago, I wonder if the issues have returned.

Killix - I can see TEST BIRB alright. It seems to just be Nut's art. Hmm. June Scarlet - What that error message seems to be implying is that they made it so when you block ads on their site, you also block their images. Which... is really, really annoying. ='D On the one hand, I get ad revenue, on the other hand, Photobucket is one of the last places I want to whitelist because their ads have gotten so unforgivably ridiculous, which is one of the reasons I stopped using it. Nut - It could well be Photobucket, yeah. As I was talking about above, they got... really super ridiculous and as you say, unreliable. It's gotten to the point where I've stopped using it entirely, and don't like visiting the main photobucket page itself because even with my adblockers, something still slips through, at the very least a large transparent box blocking what I'm trying to view. (For some reason, images hosted from the site onto the forum are fine, just so long as I don't have to visit the Photobucket page itself. Though it's still not wholly reliable, given how Photobucket images go down every so often so that images on the forum become broken.) Sorry if it's more trouble on your end, though. D=

For the record, I also get that big blarg message from Photobucket about whitelisting if I try to directly view an image file hosted on their site, but I can see embedded images- Nut's included- just fine. XD
In response to the earlier conversation, Holly is a normal garden variety hoomun bean. As is her whole family. Any seeming of magical-ness is entirely dependent on if you subscribe to belief in the Wiccan craft or not. (Though I have no intention of showing them doing any spells that do anything perceptible in the course of the story.)
Semi-relatedly, I kinda find it amusing that in Hero City I explicitly said "Your characters can be literally ANYTHING go nuts!" and in the PCs we had 99% normal (if superpowered) humans, with the sole exceptions being Dude Bro as an alien (which was largely downplayed) and Fireflyman. But here the rule for characters was "keep it subtle, m'kay?" and almost everyone is an implied cryptid. XD Clearly I should've added an air of mystery and intrigue to the character creation. =O

Draco A pen is Beatrice's favorite weapon, how did you know?? Those trees are no match to the scathing articles she can now write about them.

Figured it would be a nice touch XD And yeah, it wasn't like he was going to pull out a sword XD Maybe a small twig or some pocket lint... But a pen seemed right. I'm still trying to figure out the direction I want to take Fox... Only time will tell XD

Hehe, this is fun, one of the first mysteries people are trying to solve is why Beatrice doesn't visit her parents more often. Heh, not what I was expecting, but sure, I'll take it.

Finally got around to changing my avatar! XD Reading my post and having my avatar be an anime girl is a bit jarring, especially when I put a reminder to change my profile and forgot about it. XD
Man, I love this storygame already.

So I tried opening the NTWF in Firefox to see if Nut's art would load then. And it did! So I gotta figure something out for my Chrome browser, but in the meantime, eeee at the art! =D (And also, even if I don't figure out the problem soon, at least I'll be able to view it from somewhere.)
