It's a beautiful morning in the Citadel of Song, and you are a horrible fencer.

She never really needed to know what to do with people, that's what the company has her older siblings for. So she was raised as exclusively a mission operative - tactics, computers, marksmanship, survival skills, tech maintenence. But never people, as much as she might WANT to be better at it.

Ooh, sounds like fun!

I havent done much art of her recently, but this is Coralyne, a surveillance mech pilot and the youngest child of a powerful corporate network's CEO. She comes off as quiet, sullen, and humorless, but in her head she just... doesn't really know how to deal with other people?

Israel has begun its violent attack on peaceful activists from tens of states on the Sumud Flotilla trying to deliver aid to 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza surviving and resisting Israel’s genocide.

We call for escalating peaceful actions against complicit states, corporations and institutions.

I'm like... 90 percent sure none of the kids in today's D&D group follow me here? Which means I can post this without spoiling any of them on what's coming >:3

Then yeah, you probably shouldn't have any issues!

Caitlyn McKay @paradox451.bsky.social · 16d

I feel like it wouldn't be too confusing? The only time it might give people pause is if there's a scene with lots of characters at once, but those are already chaotic. At worst, you might just need to refer to the character by name a little more often than usual.

Sometimes picking up a book helps my brain switch gears? If that doesn't work, I have a little notebook I keep near my bed so I can get out whatever's buzzing in my head while still forcing myself to lie down.
