Movie nights on their days together kind of grew in sideways, and Ethan never really remembered when they had officially become a thing, only that sometime in the last few months Saga stopped standing by the door the whole time and started actually sitting down while the movie played.

Extras: Celestial Saga: Lore - Chapter 4: Saga's Earth-Bet's Version of the Movie "UP"
Opening. Carl launches his balloon house. Emotional impact: curiosity about why this old man is so determined and attached to his home.
Russell arrives on the porch. Emotional impact: humor and confusion as a cheerful kid crashes into the story and contrasts sharply with Carl.
Early flight...
One of the Ninjas who got a job as a manager at a canning factory has been making friends with a family who live right down the road from the Nuclear power plant.
I guess it’s a big enough deal that it has its own history of villain attacks.
Which is lucky since apparently the ABB has already...
Threadmarks: 95: Friday, July 8st - Starting in New Brunswick
Welp.
Lung is here to stay, and so am I.

We've started to build up NOVA in this area around Maine and New Brunswick.
The dream of all of New England and The Maritimes is still a thing, with a few teams still expanding in Vermont and Nova Scotia, but mostly we're a Maine/New-Brunswick...
Threadmarks: 94: Monday, July 4th - The New Bay, and Troubles in New Brunswick
We did the PR thing.
There was even a pretty big ship in the background, so it worked out for the pictures.
Emily made a speech about the city entering an era of new hope and possibility, and we all politely forgot that this city is still full of Nazi's and thanks to the new gangs, the number...
Threadmarks: 93: Sunday, June 3rd - ABB/Chosen Raid Aftermath
Rude.
…
I was all involved in the search for the ABB capes, then we finally find them, and I get sent over to HQ to stand guard all day!
The worst part is, they were right!
The Chosen (Hookwolf’s E88) attacked, and it was only all of us under 18 Wards being in the same place that sent him and...
Total Warhammer 3 dropped today along with this:

So Nagash is gonna be a thing and might have a campaign to go along with it. I imagine vampires in general will get an update to go with that too.
Missy had a good idea.
I took her to pet Samson the Donkey to calm down after another day of not funding the ABB capes, when she asked about the Ninja I've mentioned knowing.
It seems obvious in hindsight, especially with how it took Tenkō no Tomo a day to find at least 6 bases they seem to...
So… the money issue might not be "solved," but I guess I might be able to give Taylor and Laurance a paycheck now.
I got a new perk, and though it's a bit expensive, it's one of the ones that's just a minor quirk in a game but absolutely crazy in real life.

The chapel smells like wet wool and burned coffee.
The heat ticks like a tired metronome.
Four flags wait up front, and four families watch the cloth like it might answer back.
Breath moves in shallow tides that never reach the shore.
Cloth whispers when someone shifts.
A coin taps a thigh like...

So…
It might have been a mistake, but people have been complaining about the boat graveyard as long as I've been alive.
Plus, as cool as my power is, this was the first time I've had a perk that would just
pop away one of the Bay's biggest issues.
But this, the Y-Gun?
Point at the big one...
Threadmarks: 87: Thursday, June 16th - On Sugarhouse Sentinel
Dropped into a blaster mess today.
One of the NOVA squads blocked a robbery, and Sugarhouse Sentinel showed up to yank the loot back.
I rolled in mid-fight, so I don't even know who got hit.
The room smelled like maple and smoke, and everyone was yelling over the hiss of the pans.
Pern put me...

TAYLOR:
I don't care about a paycheck, Dad. I care about rooms where people who know how to do this let me watch, then let me try, and don't treat me like a problem when I mess up the first time. I care about gear that fits my hands, so I'm not guessing while...
So, I've got some awkward conundrums here.
I guess Rachel told Grue from her old team that joining NOVA was a thing, and now he wants to, which is fine, except the part where there's some kind of wacky triangle thing going on with Lawrence and of all people Kairos.
Oh, yeah, I guess someone...
Well, I wasn't expecting this!
I guess Hero wanted to give me a present for my birthday, so he organized a trip for me, Missy, and Emily, where Strider popped up every hour and showed us a new place.
Emily explained it’s so I can teleport to the spots if needed, since they now believe Fox that...
I found a donkey today.
I was flying in Newbrunswick, trying to set teleportation points, and saw an old donkey.
He was used to people because he was very fluffy and just let me pet him for hours.
Turns out he was a family pet because a family of farmers came by and told me I could feed him...
I guess Sis got tired of all the Dauntless and Phoenix PR and decided to get her name written down as a legend of Brokton Bay, because when the Wards came across a battle between Fenja, Hookwolf, and Lung...
Rather than running away, Sis apparently got fed up and trapped Lung in a Klein bottle...
Dog Armor
Finding Armadillo scutes has been a weirdly depressing process.
Not like rabbits, where I just ask and they start shipping thousands to me.
They have sent me lots of stuff, but the crafting table in my inventory is really picky.
Luckily, they aren't expensive.
Even the pretty ones...
