Sage is full of questions, such as “Gooshyfood?” and “Treats?” and “Cuddles?” Fortunately the answer is practically always yes. Nightvale is more taciturn, but does leap quite surprisingly to my shoulders, so that’s okay.
Went to the office, ate some chicken nuggets, enlightened a customer, placated some other customers.
Read (novel): Asunder (Kerstin Hall): A somewhat strange book in a very strange world, where civilization was sustained by divine servants of questionable benevolence until the terrifying things from outside ate them, and now a warlock of the outer things is trying to help the person she accidentally doomed and also avoid her own doom and there is creepy magic everywhere and also a lot of angst, because her life is kind of terrible, honestly. I liked it, because creepy magic everywhere, but it is not a cheerful book.
Read (novel): Death of an Irish Druid (Catie Murphy): Is our cursed driver finally resigning herself to her fate? Her friends from the US aren’t helping with any kind of normality, that’s for sure! Unfortunately this is probably the last book of the series, unless it finds another publisher.
Read (short story): The Body in the Zero Gee Brothel (Cameron Cooper): The mystery was not the point, the setting twist was the point, and I have to admit, I did not see it coming.
Read (manga): Marriage Toxin vol 2 (Joumyaku, Mizuki Yoda): Having failed to get girls through normal socialization, our poison ninja is now (on advice of advisor) rescuing women who are in the kind of trouble a ninja can help with. This plays to his strengths and is much more successful, although he’s too much of a nice guy to pressure a woman into dating him just because he saved her life. He does another friend now, though, which is definitely something. (His friend has a shark. I’m pretty sure this will come up again later.)
Written (game design): 235, although mostly notes on what D&D thinks would call for an ability check, to make sure I’m not missing anything obvious. It’s like research or something.
