Busy week but not in the way I was expecting :D
Silver had some intense chest problems this week, which freaked me out completely (he's the last of my boys, and now I'm an (extreme) bit of a worrywart rat mum these days!), and I stayed up with him through the night. So I was really struggling to get in the editing headspace.
But that actually ended up working out well, because I had fallen really far behind on social media and Patreon things after focusing on the de...

Question for N: How do you reconcile your proprietary standards for other’s PDA (cough M) when you have your own track record of scandalous activity? For instance, sucking face in front of your teammates, getting handsy against a wall on a public sidewalk, and @%+¥ing on the couch in the living room.

So, one of my $50 patrons had an Ava birthday-themed personalised scenario last month, and he really wanted all of you to be able to enjoy it too on her actual birthday!

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” We all manage to yell it at the same time, and in a relatively coordinated sing-song tune. Except Morgan, who grunts out the words I think are ‘Happy Birthday’ before slouching against the wall and striking up a cigarette.
“Way to get into the party spirit,” Farah comments, t...

Tina, if mc hadn't been your co-worker and fallen for a member of unit bravo, would you have gone out with them?

"Ew, no," she blurts out with a grimace before snorting out a laugh. "That sounded really bad, but I didn't mean it that way. They're an amazing person and certainly brighten up the office—"

She throws you a half-lidded stare. "You're making me sound even worse." She leans back in her chair with a s...

Nat always look so well-composed. This makes me curious as to what they would they do when they're jealous?

"Jealousy is not an emotion I wish upon anyone," she says with a small breath. "But it is also an emotion, and as we're all well aware, those are almost impossible to control."
Ava gives a disagreeing snort of breath.

Felix, what would people in the Echo World think of you dating a human?
-
"Not much, I don't imagine," he replies, pouting his lips for a second before shrugging. "They'd be way more interested in what they could get out of them than who they're dating. And I doubt they'd think much about me at all." They release a sharp breath. "At least, I hope they wouldn't anyway."

"A non-existent one," Morgan scoffs, a stream of smoke spreading out from between her lips as she speaks.
Farah wrinkles her nose. "Well, aren't you the epitome of romance."
"You seriously expected anything else?" Morgan shoots back, to which Farah concedes with a dip of her shoulders.

"Both. But more supernaturals than humans," they answer quickly, rubbing at their lips before a smile falls into place across their expression.

A smile instantly quirks across their lips as the brush back a lock of hair from their eyes.
They shrug and tilt their head. "You mean what first drew them to me, right? People come to me, I don't chase after them." Their gaze scans you from head to toe before they lean in uncomfortably close across the small gap between your chairs. "I might make an exception for you though," they drawl.

She shakes her head, a few of the small braids that dangle around her oval face shimmering with a rainbow of colours. "Nah, of course not." She leans closer to you with a sly smile while winking. Her lashes are vivid green and feathery. "Du Mortain keeps me in a job." She clutches at her stomach as she breaks into a hearty laugh that fills the room with its cheer.

So, it was all focus on the final demo this week! And it paid off!
The beta testers were FANTASTIC, and I have to give them yet another massive thank you, because it was quite the task to go through it! I got all their edits in during this week, as well as focusing on playtests myself to check for any final niggles. It's pretty big, so going through it is quite the task to check for big as well as small variations, but it was really encouraging to hear how much the test...

An unseasonal warmth blankets the Square, even with the sky overhead bruised with the colours of dusk. Thankfully, I don’t need a torch quite yet, which means our stealthy task can continue without bringing attention.
But my task is on hold as I watch Adam. With my lips pursed, I arch a brow and track him with my gaze as he strides in a strict grid pattern around the Square, reaching up high or stretching down low to dot bright paper mache eggs in far too difficult hiding places.

I mostly concentrated on the last of the edits for the demo this week, but I still managed to finish A's scene completely, as well as M's!
I only have F's and the Love Triangle to go on Chapter 7! They're hefty emotional backstory scenes, so I need to make sure I get them right, but I am SERIOUSLY enjoying finally revealing more about them!
But I did get all the edits into the new demo section and then got it over a day early to the beta tester...
