>>64691956Yeah, chapter 2 was posted July of last year, so it's been a while. Hell, I haven't posted anything since Assurance Correction. Was a pretty tumultuous year for me.
>>64694679I've had the itch to continue this for a while and just didn't have the peace of mind to sit down and bang it out until recently, but I'm glad it at least scratches the itch. I actually wanted to end it differently with a bit more action, but I felt it would be more fun to end the chapter on a high note, plus leave Coco as the main surprise.
>>64712537Thanks! I honestly struggled a bit with the shop's name, but I think I captured her sense of humor and general demeanor decently; she'll have some fairly important parts here, and the right introduction always helps set expectations I think.
>>64693210Good to be back and having a creative outlet again.
