photograph of two grey cats cuddling on the seat of an office share. they are both looking at the camera with a seeming expression of "...yes?" photograph of two grey cats sharing an office chair seat. the fully grey cat is lying on her side with her paws underneath her sister while the grey cat with white paws and belly is lying more in her back, with paws splayed out. both look content but a little annoyed at being disturbed

also i love that it was fairly inclusive in both the cc and in the diversity of the npcs. love that rpgs are starting to let us have pcs that use they/them pronouns and that pronouns/voices/gender are separate!

we got these silicone ice molds from the SE popup when it was in LA and i thought i could maybe make them into chocolates.

buster swords proved to be too weak at the handle, but the cactuars worked great!

(used the good chocolate so they all still taste nice)
