Okay! That's a wrap.

https://x.com/BathicQMI will optimistically target the next thread at a week from now, 3/1, but since this one was taxing for me (physically, not emotionally -- lots of late nights) it's possible I'll need a little more recovery time. I'll post it 3/5 at the latest.
In the meantime... like I think I mentioned, this was a thread I've been waiting for for a very long time. It also represents an official turn in the quest. From here on out, I consider us formally in "home stretch" or "endgame" mode, where all of my focus is going to be on tying any last loose ends and bringing the quest to its well-deserved conclusion, which should be around Thread 50 or Thread 51.
To this end, I am going to list a few things I expect to happen before the quest concludes. The list, which I don't consider spoilers, is:
- A timeskip (semi-interactive)
- A chance to beat the snot out of Jean Ramsey
- A chance to beat the snot out of Richard
- A chance to beat the snot out of the ALMIGHTY WYRM
- A chance to see Richard's "true form"
- A chance to bring Annie the worm back to life
- Resolutions, or at least decent conclusions, to the following unresolved plot points: whatever Lucky is up to, whatever Horse Face is up to, the hiveminded Headspace employees, Casey, Claudia
Okay. Now that you've read that, I have an important question:
>What else, if anything, would you like to see happen in the rest of the quest?The answer to this will shape how the remaining 5-6 threads play out, so I appreciate everybody throwing in their 2 cents. I also have a few more questions in that vein:
>Are there any characters you'd like to see more of before the quest ends?>Is there anything that feels unresolved that I didn't mention up there?>Would you prefer (would you have more fun) having a lot of dramatic build-up to BEATING THE SNOT OUT OF Jean Ramsey, or would you rather get straight to the beating and spend time elsewhere?I also have a few questions not in that vein. These ones are less important than the ones above, but I appreciate responses all the same.
>How'd you like this thread?>Did you predict any of the reveals(tm) in advance? Did any of them blindside you, or did they all make sense in retrospect?>If I'm swamped with finals and don't have time to run a full thread in April (tbd), do you have any ideas or preferred POVs for a potential short side-thread?>There wasn't a lot of art this thread, despite a fruitful subject matter. Is there anything you feel you need a visual reference for? (Or just want to see more art of?)>What do you think Richard actually looks like?>Do you have any questions for me? That's all I got. Thanks in advance for answering, and thanks very much for playing and reading.
