*sets up fancy tea party for Liou* I say, thank you dear chap. Perfectly punctual, too. I will be the one to serve tea today.
Everyone, please, have a seat. I trust you are wearing your octopus-patterned formalwear for the occasion. Now, please hold out your cups. I will be firing tea from my water gun.
Heading off for my Liou Day Beach Trip now. I expect a sizable fuss when I return.

I wouldn't mind a second Halloween. My last one was robbed, after all!
Although I don't have a costume ready. May I still have tea? I would like licorice tea please, if you have it.

*serves tea with licorice in it* I love Trick and Treating on our boards! Since I don't go out IRL, it's fun to dress up and engage in kira yaba adventures with you all!

What's shakin', friends!
What cool projects are everyone working on?
I have so many, but this week I've been working on an article for the Times that's told in the form of meeting minutes.

I'm in the middle of working on the next Blossoms comic myself! Got that going and scripting for the next arc at the same time, and doing that in between has been keeping me plenty busy haha. Especially with this past week, work was busier than normal, it was basically putting out small fire after small fire xD;
I like that idea for an article format! You think you found enough Neovia characters to include in the article?

That sounds like an interesting idea for an article!
Hurrah for Blossoms! \ o / I look forward to it, but in the meantime, happy Blossoms-work!
Normally I'd be working on my coding and my science practices and maybe working on a concept for a science blog, or doing more job searching. But yesterday frustrated me because of computer issues and I'm feeling too depressed to do more than the bare minimum today. So I've been playing 60 Parsecs. Might move on to another game soon; it's one of those games you pick up just every once in a while, once you get the hang of the game. (I find the game easier and more satisfying than 60 Seconds though; less randomized.)

Never heard of 60 Parsecs before, but reading a little about it, sounds like an exciting game! Makes me wonder how I'd fare with it, I don't always think my best under a strict timer (which I'm sure is the point) xD

I'm working on nothing cool. Currently procrastinating on a short story and plotting doom and gloom for all!

Hoorah for plotting!
Re: 60 Parsecs - Only the beginning part is really time-limited, and it probably one of the more stressful parts of the game because it determines so much of your future. xD But after you get into the escape pod, there's really no rush to make your choices and go through each day. After that it's events and decisions and crafting. So only the first minute and a half really have time-based stress.
(Love the crafting system; huge improvement from the first game to include it. Also the morale system is fun. You can get some pretty interesting bad events and endings from poor morale. xD I should try to lose on purpose one day just to see them. (I already got one; a terse captain + poor resources = oops.))

I've got enough Neovian characters to fill out all the roles needed for the article so far, though it might be nice to have a few generic committee members without titles. I ended up making Vice Chairman Clancy Geyer my own OC, since I might end up doing more with that role in particular.
So far I've ended up taking one from every person's who's offered a character, I'll probably go back and add more from the same people as I fill in the article. And I can always make up more names as well.
Anyway, cool to hear that you're taking the step of scripting and drawing at the same time, I know that's something you've talked about trying to do before.

What kind of short story, Snaw?

60 Parsecs sounds like an interesting game, glad you're having fun.

What kind of short story, Snaw? A magical tale of drama, woe, comedy, suspense, intrigue, mystery, friendship, tragedy, Snaw and a hint of glamour. NT release date: 2025 by my rate.
