The Winter Festival on Our Albia - Day 4

 Meanwhile, floating out in space aboard the Capillata...

It was in the early hours of the afternoon, and two Norns in the Norn Meso are having a debate. Today, they've realized that perhaps waiting until the last minute to start preparations for this year's Winter Festival was not the best idea.

Now that we've thought about everybody who's coming, it's time to gather some resources!

The Winter Festival on Our Albia - Day 2

How does one even get started planning a festival like this? For starters, I guess we should consider the different kinds of attendees we’ll have and what they might like to see…

The Winter Festival on Our Albia - Day 1

Home is a pretty cozy place to be, wouldn't you say? It has everything a Norn needs, after all - coffee, a fresh wedge of cheese, a warm furnace, a machine that generates cookies using anything you put in the top... what, you don't have a Quirky Cookie Machine at home?

To Tiana

I'd like to dedicate this post to my very first Norn, who came to life around fifteen years ago (as of 2020, at least).

When I was about eight or nine, I received an Amazon gift card for my birthday from my aunt. I was in the second grade, and having not spent much time online (especially not by myself), I had no idea where to start. But I'd always liked animals, and video games, so after my parents helped me search for "virtual pet" games - all the rage at the time, you see! - we came across a game called Creatures 3.

Housekeeping, or what on Albia is actually happening here

How many times can I make a comeback post before it starts to sound like my comebacks are having comebacks? Ha.

Well, in any case, here I am once again. It feels like this entire year's passing me by without my permission, and knowing current events it's not hard to see why! For anyone who might happen to be reading this post far in the future from now - yes, we are still in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Life updates (again) plus some blog housekeeping/announcements under the cut. For those not interested in the life stuff, the blog housekeeping is in a series of bullet points at the bottom of the post.

Crestfall || Business as Usual

As we visit Crestfall for the first time in a while, another new Norn has warped in!

This elderly Norn, Fumio, seems like she's had a rough time... perhaps the gap in time and space was a bit too much for her. After all, we don't know how Norns feel when they're going through the Warp, now, do we?

(In the real world, there are still moving boxes in my apartment, but at least it's finally starting to feel like home.)
