Ack, the day got away from me. But tomorrow is Saturday, yay, so I will definitely have a post. :)

All posts appreciated, truly. Meanwhile, I think this might be what happens when maritime cultists get hold of municipal funding, maybe.

Also, I got "Ancient Evil" on one of those personality quiz things currently popular in certain areas of the internet, and feel obscurely pleased. 's like stylistic consistency or something.

Ack so sorry for the delay! There has been a lot of transition at work and with Mother’s Day I just didn’t get the chance to post. I plan to post tomorrow and things are moving towards stability!

Huzzah for stability!

What on earth is American Mothers' Day doing this far from Easter, though? Were they trying to snub Catholics so hard they went with the unreformed Orthodox calendar or something?

I just live here, LOL.

A quick notice on delays, since I didn't bank on a detour into Cooking With Matthew & Pest (a YouTube series I would definitely tune into) and I've been trying to drastically rearrange my living space, my washing machine broke down, I've been setting up another game on here, and tomorrow evening will be descended upon by visiting aunts...that is to say, with great appreciation for your patience, it may take a bit for me to get a post together.

Working on it! The fact that Firefox's new update is hideous and requires hacking I've not been able to crack (yet) to make me not feel like burglars have plastered boyband posters over my stuff really doesn't help in any way. >_<


Please accept this Important Information About Seashells in apology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKrSTWn8LGY

So sorry for my own delay! Been doing some househunting and such on top of work being busy!

Hetty! Glad you're still with us. ^_^

Absolutely! <3 I am enjoying Matt and Hetty and your writing. :) Every time I wanted to post or offer an explanation something would come up and then another thing until the day was over, LOL. I'm so sorry for the delay!

Alas for real life interference...hopefully it'll all turn out well, though, and you'll have both gainful employ and a better place to live at the end of it: here's hoping. Glad you're enjoying the seagull shennanigans spooky story so far, I promise things will get so much worse more exciting after the intro/settling chapter.

Just giving Matt a chance to look in, since he's not seen your post yet. Pest is a genuinely sweet-natured nuisance...sometimes.

edit: sincere apologies for seemingly vanishing after the above - I'll give Matt 'til Tuesday to a) give me a chance to get on with the setup of another game on here and b) provide space for what I presume is a public holiday there before sending him to the land of Quietly Following Along and getting on with things. Again, sorry to be all "where are my players??" then bugger off for a week of heavy manual labour (not that I don't love mattocking pre-recorded areas) leaving you two wondering "where's the GM???", I am aware it's terribly gauche and unfair and will endeavour not to do that again.

Meanwhile, some incredibly accomplished (if possibly NSFW, if anyone has a computer overlooked by a boss) body horror found on t'internet: https://twitter.com/keisukeyon.../1411325909555052547

First off, thanks to Matt, secondly, continued apologies: I'm still severely busy and working on things elsewhere. Things should calm down midweek but right now I'm so tired I feel sick & need to be up in ~6 hours (and do a standard lateral flow test, yay). Thanks for bearing with me, I appreciate it a great deal.

Hope you are both doing well! :) I was with my family this weekend, will have a post up tomorrow.

Oh! In that case I will give you some mild seagull shenanigans to work with rather than adding them to the lighthouse tour, that being next on the agenda whilst he tatties boil. I'm amused Matt thinks Hetty's fussing to impress her uncle - he's a bit oblivious like that.

Fifty-odd good solid posts of story, though!

Yeah, Matt’s still got plenty of room for development in the social skills department.

I hope that both of you are well. Truly sorry to hear that work has been so demanding, and that you’ve been under the weather, GM. I sincerely hope that things get better soon.

Bless 'im.

Thanks for the well-wishes, I appreciate them. Right now I'm mostly just shaking and achey and will go to bed forthwith, it's just too hot to sleep if not exhausted and too windy to open a window right now...I'll get on to the lighthouse itself ASAP, but not tonight.

Hello all, hope you're doing well! <3 I am going to be making an offer on a place and have all the paperwork to review and such so I will probably have a post out tomorrow evening.

Good luck!

I have a close friend who just managed to close on a house for himself and his significant other, so I’ve gotten some insight into how difficult it can be to purchase a home here in the States right now. I hope everything comes together for you!

Thank you both! This week has been a whirlwind at work and inspections and paperwork and financing stuff! I sincerely apologize for the delay! But I hope to make it worth it tomorrow when I post.

So I'm not sure what I've done to have quite such severe brain fail at present, but please accept this maritime eerie I found on t'internet whilst awaiting a post tomorrow.

Is this the last person to inhabit Merigg after everything goes terribly, terribly wrong? Could be! Who knows? I can't even type straight and need to go to bed.

Not agitating - I know at least one of you is busy and will leave it a week before starting to fret at all - but just found a shiny on t'internet and thought it'd be appreciated here: https://letmeinimafairy.tumblr...id-this-thing-aurora

Hello again! Moving is complete and I am settled! :D

Hetty! Hi!!! I am very glad indeed to hear you are moved and settled and not dead. These are all very good things.

Matt's player wound up with a three-buses-at-once situation in terms of running games, so he might be slow - do you need more to go on/do IC?

Hm. All right...thinking about it, do you two want to play out any of supper for the sake of small (or otherwise) talking, or shall I summarise that and move you two onto separate night threads?

Matt’s primary concern about dinner is whether he succeeded in preparing something that was both palatable and filling. If there is something important that requires discussion over the meal, then I’m certainly open to participating in a chat during supper. Otherwise, please feel free to move things ahead to evening.
