Hey all!

Not a whole ton to report this week except more steady progress; Chapter Ten is now 75k words, which is 14,000 more than last week. I'm now into the second (and final) version of the last scene, which is the no-sequel end's farewell with your RO/PO. Naturally, this has a bit of that sad flavour to it, but PCs can be completely unapologetic about their choices if they so desire! I did want to make a route that allowed a PC to never quite warm up to the idea of living in the Underworld, even if the people did grow on them a little, and who, when given the chance, would firmly slam the door on those potential friendships and relationships in favour of returning to Olympus.

There's also a few other flavours, of course, including PCs who chose what they did with varying degrees of regret for what they'd be losing, so there are opportunities to express that as well, for those of you who prefer tragedies.

I'm hoping the remainder won't take me more than another week and a half, so I can have some time to edit the chapter before the full thing comes out as the BIP and I can get working on outlining the epilogue! Given the poll results, I've decided to put those through early access and release together, so it might be a bit longer before I can do that, but I'm hoping everything will be publicly released by November, so I can get to editing and overhauling.

In a couple days, there will be a bonus content piece from Hermes's point of view, featuring a minor loose end that may become a small plot point in the sequel, but honestly it's mostly about feelings. :)

Stay well and stay awesome, everyone.
