New update was :fire::fire:. Literally. Also, like the part of lead being used as part of ancient experimentation. Wish my MC could get everything he wanted. I just played the metro sequence and the yamask dude really reminds me of my evil Sidestep and I’m pretty he’s the one who’s making me pee and volunteer and not the excess intake of water. Also I found it funny when we got to select that Gray ā€˜inhaled’ the cookies. Kim and Kenna for life.

I don’t mind waiting for too long, as long as it’s written well. And with the quality of writing Jo, has shown, I’m sure it’ll be good.

Man, I’ve been following this since I think late June and since then, I’ve become so absorbed in little Button’s sad yet amazing story that I forgot that a plot was meant to exist. That’s not a bad thing - in fact it’s the opposite. I dunno how to explain it exactly, but I’d say I was so happy and impressed with the story of Button and their family + ROs that the thought of the story getting larger and even more juicy never occurred to me. Sooo the ā€˜event’ came as a surprise. A bad one, but also a great one.
I’ve had this darn acc for like two or three years and this is the only topic to make me want to write what I think, I’m enjoying it that much.

Anyway, Saint Nick is just sleeping, right? Yeah. Yeah, he’s just asleep. He’ll wake up soon. Right? He’ll be fine…

My mc is more worried about Gray, what if he really did plant the bomb while mind-controlled? I mean next time he could be used to hurt Gray. :worried:
Not that it will stop my mc from ranting and raving at Gray now, since his stupid scheme is also part of what got Nick killed!

The overarching plot also kinda requires that my mc will hopefully be able to do something about his weakness later on as this cements that he will never really have any sort of worthwhile adult existence as long as 7% of the population gets free reign to mind-rape and control him whenever they damn well please. :unamused:

I’ve been thinking about Glitch(again) and I just have another doubt about her abilities: Is Glitch a low level technopath? Because some of her actions seem like they’re hinting at this and all of the character callsign are a hint about their abilities and I think this may be the reason for hers.

What’s a heroic backstory without a little tragedy?

I’m sitting around like, oh update. And some of you need to use spoilers. Like, badly. Thanks for that.

shakes her head

Well, guess I’ll hope I lose my memory of what was said outside of spoilers and wait a few years hoping by the time this is finished it’ll be forgotten. So I can read it fresh without foreknowledge of that content that should’ve been spoiler tagged.

The perils of checking the comments before reading the demo. Wish you were a pollard zero, so I could make you forget your sorrows.

Well the update notes were very accurate, there was indeed a crockpot

Atleast the author’s got his priorities right.

Just knock me upside the head a few times. I’m sure if I do it enough I’ll have memory issues.

I know I need it. I still remember my phone numbers from age 6 on up to present. I’m 38.

Well, there’s a name for this memory erasure technique. It’s called abuse.

Crude, but highly effective.

Or maybe he is alive, of a sort.

What if the Nick we’ll meet is just a figment of Button’s imagination, brought alive by the machinations of the antagonist telepath all to further manipulate Button’s actions.

And the matchmaking part is just Sally trying to accomodate her bestfriend on his apparent coping mechanism.

Oh no what have I done - this is a rabbit hole
