Hey, @nora.zone here, just going to do a brief overview of how the bot works and the credits for the work that went into it.

First of all: the bot is powered by @bluebotsdonequick.com, which is based on @v21.bsky.social's Cheap Bots Done Quick, which uses @galaxykate.bsky.social's Tracery.

The wizard unlocks a desk drawer and opens it, slowly, revealing a silk-wrapped dagger. He swallows and unwraps it, touching it with a single finger. The jewel in the pommel glows gently and he carefully rewraps it, then leans back in his chair with his eyes closed, taking slow, calming breaths.

The little cat steps on the wizard's head, waking him up. He goes to make waffles with grapefruit jam and put some fish out for the little cat. As he makes tea, the air fills with the smell of chocolate. After breakfast, he takes in the empty trash can.
