Doctor Wallenstein Grows Funny Creatures

[davidn]

Just as I realize my usually sane and well-adjusted journal has consisted near exclusively of this for the last two weeks - it's the final part! Though a lot of things had to be taken out of this one in the interests of flow/relevance, so I might yet put together a separate out-takes video for it. Somehow, we survived. Well, I'm just speaking for myself here - I'm not sure about the others.

Thank you once again to everyone who took part, and for kjorteo's organization of us all. I had a great time doing this - not least in the climactic scene which was the verbal equivalent of battling with two colossal wedges of ham - and I honestly can't wait for our attempt to do the same thing with Holidaystar (assuming that our effort at that can eventually get posted and doesn't have to be sealed in some vault somewhere).

....Oh hell. How badly have we been violating the "don't tempt the game" rule back and forth just now? D:

I'm only giving theories and speculation on what I think already happened.... D:

It's so cute how linear your sense of time is sometimes.

Yeah, but from stuff I've seen on Moa's Tumblr, HolidayStar's going to involve some degree of flashbacking and backstory along these lines, so we may be setting ourselves up for all sorts of disaster on it.

Crap.

If I can just point this out at this stage - "I swear that half of Anghel's dialogue is going to be shockingly profound in retrospect"!

This was half right.

Oh, I guess I did tempt the game again after all, didn't I.
