Note: As I wrap up Mind Blind’s endings (more on that next update post, so stay tuned!), I’ve realized that there are several aspects of the lore/world that I want to delve into deeper. Not unanswered questions, exactly, because everything is pretty definitively answered in game (although maybe not in all endings), but certain elements of the story deserve elaboration.
So, Mind Blind is getting a sequel!
Kind of.

Liz’s lips connect with yours, her need slamming you against the wall with enough force to shudder the still-open front door. She doesn’t bother with formalities or small talk; she knows (or thinks she knows) why you insisted on meeting her at an off-the-grid motel over two-hundred miles outside Chicago’s city limits, and it wasn’t for something so civilized as exchanging pleasantries and observations about the rainy weather.
Her tongue muffles your gasp—tomorrow, your back wi...

“I comprehend that your house is flooded,” Kim said. “But Wiseman . . . why are you here?”
His lips were compressed a little tighter than usual—a clear sign of discomfort in the man’s stoic façade, if one knew to look for it. I decided to remain deliberately oblivious.
“Well, it’s a long story, Rosy.” I smiled with forced cheer, covertly wedging my suitcase into the threshold in case Kim decided to slam the door in my face.

Sally Alavidze was not in love.
Occasionally, maybe, she stared at you in your bathing suit for a slightly longer duration than what might strictly be platonic. So what? You were hot.
The fact that Sally had only found five people “hot” in her entire life was irrelevant.
Sometimes, perhaps, she developed a bitter taste in her mouth when you laughed at one of Grayson’s dumb jokes. It wasn’t possessiveness—she was simply disgusted by Gray’s expression of smug self-...

Chapter 15's final form is over 80,000 words.😐
That’s the size of a whole novel. I’m both proud of and annoyed by my inability to curtail my ambition. I’m making good progress, though, and am still aiming to release all the endings by May! All are written (albeit not coded), except for the two where a certain vigilante ends up to jail (I need to emotionally brace myself to write those, I think).
(Ideally, I’ll release the Vengeance endings first as planned, but it’s a...

Note:
This story takes place a few months before The Pencil Incident made everyone realize the full ramifications of Button’s mind blindness.
It also includes a few subtle teasers for some of Mind Blind’s endings.
Regrettably, no Vengeance members were harmed in the making of this story. For context, Chicago dyes its waterways green every Saint Patrick's Day.

In preparation for Nick’s discharge from the hospital, you and Sally are in the middle of stripping the sheets on his bed when your cellphones vibrate simultaneously.
“Sweet virgin Mary protect us,” Sally whispers as she stares at the text.
You can’t fault her sudden conversion to Catholicism—you’d sacrifice a goat to Baphomet if it meant protection from that.
The photo Nick sent in the group chat has a simple caption: “Abomination.”

Once the task is accomplished, Talia carelessly tosses your clothes to the other side of the bedroom, too absorbed staring at your body revealed form to notice where they land.

Salome Alavidze is not perfect.
If you had fallen in love with her the customary way—meeting via a dating app or mutual friends as adults, ambushed by quick-fluttering stomach butterflies of infatuation—then you might have believed she was perfect, at least in the beginning. But you met Sally when you were young, back when “love” was limited to watercolor impression given by Disney movies and desire was a theoretical of which you possessed zero knowledge.
So, no, you never...

Third Base is sticky. Despite the tattooed bartender’s best efforts to slip napkins beneath his client’s drinks, the counter is irrevocably gummy in a way that testifies to a decade worth of sloshed Vodka Cranberries and knocked-over Malibu Sunsets.
The bar’s name calls out its patrons’ hopes for the night: Third Base isn’t a place where one went on a first date or to meet with friends—it’s far too crowded and loud for any sort of intellectual connection....

You chuckle. “What am I, an undiscovered island? We’ve been dating for two years.”
“Yet I’ve still so much to learn,” Glitch insists. “So, can I?”

“Experiment.” Her brown eyes go soft with yearning, a look that she knows you’re incapable of refusing. Damn puppy eyes are an unfair advantage, but Glitch has never played fair.

The final, additional, semester from September through December isn’t filled by classes; rather, you and Sally have spent the past four months partnered on a long-term assignment that involved successfully putting an end to an elder insurance fraud scam run by a group of morally bankrupt Empaths.

Ambrosia had never considered herself to be sexy.
She was wrong, of course, as you take every opportunity to point out to her, often loudly and in public so that she has no choice but to agree with you in order to quiet your shouted declarations. Your girlfriend is sexy, and that is a fact.
She’s also dead.
To be fair, you’re also supposed to be dead. Would be dead, if not for your and Ambrosia’s meet-cute. It’s a tale as old as your romance (which is to say...

It was not a dark and stormy night. The weather was, in fact, surprisingly temperate for late-October Chicago at a balmy seventy degrees Fahrenheit (fifty given windchill). For Nicholas Wiseman and his too-short miniskirt, this was a blessing. Not that he wasn’t willing to brave the frozen wastes in fishnets for the sake of Sohvi’s Halloween party, but the tissue-thin habit of his sexy nun costume wasn’t particularly warm. He glanced over at Grayson, whose own costume of Robin Hood was ...

The Great Rewritening Version of Chapter 9 (link at bottom of post) has been up on dashingdon for a while, although I didn’t announce it in hopes that I’d be able to get the entire Chapters 9-15 update out this month. But if your saves were wiped sometime these past weeks: that's why!
