I helped John out quite a bit back in the day with the Fortuna Saga; I made a large portion of those sprites and even took over update duties- under instruction- while he was locked away at his various training schools and other obligations. For Hymns of the Apostate, I have been more or less hands-off only offering help with backgrounds and acting as a devil's advocate for ideas. It has been a lot of fun for me to sit back and watch John work and experience the story as it happens with almost no spoilers or knowledge of how things are feeding into (or being drawn from) the other Canticles. Now, that I have been clued into the greater picture, I'm really excited to be involved again.

John has been working on a big project back in The District for the past two weeks which is why he hasn't been able to update. Luckily, Episodes 355, 356 and 357 were almost completed before he left. I received mail from him instructing me how to finish them along with a few dialog tweaks. Please enjoy this update! I'm sorry for the delay. I plan to get started on the next episode tomorrow after I pick up my Wacom from work.
