bedlam boundary - 24.17
Chapter creeps and creaks along crumbling corridors, seeking ghosts and ghouls in the shadowy deeps of forgotten houses and abandoned manors.

This week's password is: ambuscade
Epub version of the chapter is also attached below, as usual!
(Chapter is going up early once again! I guess this is probably the new publishing time for now? Things are sort of out of my hands for a while, so I'll be trying to stick to this in the future, buuuut we might go back to the old time eventually, it depends!)
Ruses and tricks and traps and sneakies and Heather, Heather you need to keeping moving. Heather, we're past the halfway point of the arc now, there's no time for slowing down, you gotta free everyone and go back and trap the Eye-Gilf in a time vortex. (I'm joking, I promise there will be no time travel in Katalepsis.)
Okay, ahem, for serious - hope you all enjoy the chapter! This arc is wildly out of control, but we're still on target! Some of you may have seen some of this coming, I'm not 100% sure! Onward we go, wheee!

I knew it! They're parts of her! Maybe they're even the actual wolf that Twil's grandpa put inside her to make sure the traveler near their house couldn't touch her! This is great!
Ohohoho! Indeed. The Lillies appear to be parts of Twil, parts of her own mind, perhaps even something that's been with her all along. But they seem aware that they're in a dream or a play, which is ... odd, right? (Also, very glad you enjoyed the chapter!)
Dropping a reveal like that at the very end... Good job. You have successfully cursed me to be thinking about what will happen next for the rest of the week.
Haha, thank you very much! I'm terrible with the cliffhangers, aren't I? This one just fell in exactly the right position, it had to happen! Very glad you enjoyed this!
This did not go in the direction I expected. I thought the two lillys would be related to Heather's missing selves. The dream ark keep growing and growing, maybe like a real dream the end will happen unexpectedly?
A big surprise, indeed! The Lillies could have been many things, but it seems like Heather's missing selves must be imprisoned or sealed away somewhere, or perhaps hiding among the general population? Haha, yes, you're correct, the dream does keep growing! The end ... well, I don't think it'll be sudden or unexpected. I think it'll be quite the explosion.
