Earlier today Chapter 33 dropped for crowdfunder backers and patrons over at patreon.com/pinetreepods! Yes, there is discussion of spice organization. Wanna find out why? Sign up for our patreon today!
Spice organization is very important to me. So is personification of inanimate objects. I just think both are neat!

While this is Hyacinthus and Apollo's story, we do need to take a step into Apollo's past to tell it- which means we get to have the effervescent @bonthemightybon.bsky.social as Daphne!
A picture of Bonnie Calderwood-Aspinwall in a heart made of chain links with two daggers through it. Below the picture is text reading “Bonnie Calderwood-Aspinwall as Daphne” in cursive font. To the right is their bio in a printed font. “Bonnie (they/them) is a reclusive bookrangler by day, stealth troubadour by night. You can catch their voice in The Attic Monologues, Do You Copy? and Re: Dracula, among other places. When they're not lurking in the stacks or yelling at no one in a cupboard, you can likely find them chasing a whim five miles down a frenzied research rabbit-hole, or they've retreated to post-whimsy seclusion to convalesce, in which case you simply won't find them at all. Come scream into the void with them on Bluesky @bonthemightybon.bsky.social”

Walking on air, quite literally. 🌬

I truly cannot wait to play the EVERYTHING that this character is. I cannot wait even MORE for you all to hear him (and I'm pretty sure he can't wait, either). 😊

Such a lovely script and such a talented cast! Let's gooooo.

Every story needs a good antagonist and ours comes in the form of Zephyr- voiced by the astounding @anusiabattersby.bsky.social!
A picture of Anusia Battersby in a heart made of chain links with two daggers through it. Below the picture is text reading “Anusia Battersby (she/her) as Zephyr” in cursive font. To the right is their bio in a printed font. “Anusia Battersby (She/Her) is a UK-based actor, writer, game designer, and all-round nerd. She is perhaps best known for her role as Gwendolyn Bouchard in The Magnus Protocol, and is extremely excited to be playing another character whose chief occupation appears to be "make everything worse for everyone". In-between attempting to learn Ancient Greek, practising the ukulele, and playing far too much Blood on the Clocktower, she is currently in the process of devising her second solo show, Unmasked, which will debut at the Edinburgh Horror Festival later this year.”
