Went to the office again, all the usual coworkers were there, ate okra curry and naan, did some work.

Read (novel): The House Witch (Delemhach): Light novel about a witch who has home powers instead of the normal elemental powers, hiding out as head chef in a castle but beset with problems on every side including his own feelings. Het romance, but there’s a gay side character. Very light novel.

Read (manga): Go With the Clouds North-by-Northwest vol 3 (Aki Irie): After the scenic interlude, we’re back to detective work and also the little brother. Now we know what’s going on with him, and it’s not good.

Read (game): Cloud Empress (watt): Heavily inspired by Nausicaa, but the system is based on Mothership because violence is not good for people. The old was swept away, the new world is mostly uninhabitable but there are people in the few habitable areas and also in poorly-maintained flying cities, sometimes giant bugs swarm everywhere and eat the bones of the dead, their shells can be scraped for the substance that fuels magic, ghosts everywhere, etc. Lots of random tables of different things, in the Mothership tradition. It’s a very sandbox game; there’s no overarching plot, everything is in the worldbuilding.

Written (catgirl): 126 of notes.
