Now that I know about the vole thing, I’m afraid to not appreciate squirrels (because this is how American works in 2025). However, despite it being National Hugging Day, I am hugging only these kitties.
Played (Changeling the Lost): Ken’s 1990s Berkeley game. Our hapless changelings find a deserted (though not actually abandoned) building to hide out in, but first go to the punk club where they meet some other changelings of varying levels of friendliness and learn how to absorb human emotions as Glamour from a stoned tree. Also Longfingers got a job by the expedient of doing the work and then putting her name on the shift signup sheet.
Read (manga): Mysterious Disappearances vol 4 (Nujima): A supernatural entity that meant well and could be reasoned with! Also flashback to when Sumireko could see her feet.
Written (game design): 191.
