Good stuff from the distant past! I recall being shown Sion's first meeting with Helen before, and I'm happy to see her illusionary powers have carried through. Soon seems like a nice enough chap... good thing she didn't poison him yet.

I found that Sion and Helen worked very well together as protagonists. They'll be back in a future section, obviously.

Enjoyed the alternate purveyors and Beth (with overly helpful scrubbing henchwoman Sally and Cathode). Poor Josh... although he probably got pretty far with 1 to 3 of his hosts, knowing him (or his descendant), so he likely went out as he would have wished.

Now I can't stop picturing Ingrid Pitt a the Countess. Not that that is a problem, you understand.

On production news, I'm ready to post today's chapter except for the footnote/link bits, which you mentioned that you might advise upon.

        Presumably the Bonsai Kittens are down in Manga Town somewhere. I wonder if they revert to just being cats again in the Normalverse? · Al B. Harper · Mon Dec 26, 2016 at 05:49:46 pm EST
