This week's password is: Falstaff
An epub of the chapter is also attached below, as always!
You know what? I think we might be going to more than 20 chapters. I don't know if I should laugh manically or what at this point. I dunno! Honestly, maybe we won't. But we might. So I have to be prepared for the possibility. Maisie has derailed and re-railed and double-railed so many different things by now (but no girls, poor Maisie) that I had to sit down this week with a whiteboard and a pen and re-map everything. This girl is impossible and I adore her, and I hope you do too! (Even if she doesn't adore us, much, yet. Ouch.)
And I hope you enjoy the chapter, dear readers! Things are about to get wild! And then, very soon, I suspect we're going to get some answers ...
Also I have more art from the discord server, once again! This week I've got more tarot cards, though from a different set, as it were. Fascinating that "Katalepsis tarot cards" seems to have occurred to multiple readers. We have The Fool (Lozzie!) and The Tower (Glasswick Tower!), both by Livia! Also this week, I have a silly meme to share; I don't normally share memes, but this one is just too good: a depiction of ... whatever happened after Maisie jumped out of the window, constructed by Zb! Thank you both! It's always amazing to see so much new art.
Comments
"Maise may not know what to do with that knife of hers, but she cut the image of a so-called Goddess, I would certainly not count her out of a fight" Indeed! She's inexperienced, but she's full of enthusiasm, and willing to give it a try. "(Kill something deader than dead? Strike the spirit from the flesh?)" Maybe a little beyond Maisie's skills, but ... she knows somebody who can. "Sword women are very attractive" Yes!!! I agree, very much so. Very very. "Puppets to the narrative, strings of script wrapped around limbs. I do not know how to articulate what you have done with this blending imagery of puppetry and theatre and choice and story, but i see it, and I love it very very much " Thank you! Thank you so much. Indeed, I've been playing with a lot of imagery here, following these themes where they lead me, and I'm glad it's coming through in the story. "Blood is very pretty, is it not? The pattern of a life, a history writ in sanguine essence, spilt like discarded rubies." Very poetic! Quite! "Ohhh, a mage. How many things has this castle stolen from Earth, and mayhaps it bit off more than it could chew?" Mages! Always getting out there, causing messes in places they shouldn't be.

I do not know how to articulate what you have done with this blending imagery of puppetry and theatre and choice and story, but i see it, and I love it very very much (I will add it as a reply later because this has us *thinking*) Blood is very pretty, is it not? The pattern of a life, a history writ in sanguine essence, spilt like discarded rubies. Ohhh, a mage. How many things has this castle stolen from Earth, and mayhaps it bit off more than it could chew?
