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...

2021-05-13 14:11:01 +0000 UTC View PostSo, 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 t...

"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—"

"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.
Nat fidgets before continuin...

Lesedi tries to hide a smile by licking at her lips. "They did say 'humble' opinion, remember?"

"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 th...

"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."

"Both. But more supernaturals than humans," they answer quickly, rubbing at their lips before a smile falls into place across their expression.
"Have you ever actually loved any of them?" Farah quips, sliding her gaze over to inspect the taller vampire's reaction. 2021-05-04 14:22:56 +0000 UTC View Post
I have a question for Bobby. What first drew you to the MC?

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 ...

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.

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!

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.
