It was, well, there were little events (music, stand up, poetry) and such. Audley did do a lot of baking and cooking himself, and somehow the cafe attracted quite a number of people from around town (I’ll be honest, he’s been a pretty good baker)

Quick heads up:
A warning
The next update will contain mild injuries with the potential of squicking someone out and in the worst case be triggering.
This is what happens:
Read the following at your own risk:
One of the kids volunteering at school, a ferrokinetic, experienced a power flare, causing her arm melt into her locker. There’s blood involved, but no explicit description of what it looks like
Also she’ll be fine once the shock has passed and everything is healed up again.

I keep mixing things up.

MiniBio time:
Scorn
Name: Lionel Donovan
Codename: Scorn
Gender: male (cis)
Age: 51
DoB: October 23
Race: white
Hair: black
Eyes: black
Height: 6’4
FaceClaim: Ed Quinn
Lionel Donovan is one of the most dangerous people in Cornucopia.
By all official means a legit businessman, it’s an open (but legally unprovable) secret that he is the head of one of CoCi’s worst criminal organizations.
Scorn is regarded as as ruthless as he is cunning, but indisputably fair. Most people that cross him even show up alive again.
His official businesses range from casinos to hotels to shipping companies across town, his unofficial ones… are the same in a much darker shade of moral and lethality.
The most well-known (infamous) establishment of the latter kind is a nightclub/aether-den called Bliss, located on the fourth ring of the TC-D. The Bliss had been the property of the Jade Empress around 15 years ago, before she made the fatal mistake of kidnapping Scorn’s son Colby (Naught), trying to press money and property out of Scorn.
It’s not clear if (and if, how) the Jade Empress survived this misstep, but her demise secured Scorn the control over the third and fourth ring. Only recently someone using the alias of Jade Empress surfaced as the head of the organization controlling the fifth to eighth ring, but it’s not clear if this is the same woman, someone using her name, or if there even is an actual person.
Scorn is a most talented umbrakinetic, teleporter and power-thief, quite a bit of a bon vivant and a widower. As ruthless and cold as he is in business, as caring and loving he is as a father.
Have a good new year

I’ve removed the off topic material. Please keep this discussion focused on this WIP.
The author questioning whether or not to continue the WIP is off topic huh?

My goal is to keep this thread from becoming about off-forum interpersonal conflict and then getting locked, and it was going in that direction. If people want to talk about the other stuff, please keep it to PMs.

In brighter news (and thanks for all the kind words people. Luv u ;_; )
I took pics of around 85 recipes… now to translate them.
Would you want them to be a bonus material in the game?

Basically a little bonus content with cookable versions of the dishes you can make on the show.
Edit:
I decided to have the recipes in the game, as a reward for winning the show.

Also I am toying with the idea of making a patreon for CuCu. If so, what sort of rewards would you like to see?
Art ,snippets, scenes, characters all that goodies?

If what is allowed, i suppose short stories about the characters would be lovely. Can be pre-/post-/during the story proper.

I agree with @Abe I think my fav part of Patreon so far is getting snippets of scenes with RO’s. Not only does it feel like a reward but it keeps interest in the game fueled
