Chapter flits down snow-choked streets, flirting with icicles and seducing the chill, bearing all of winter's long-held desire.

As always, an epub version of the chapter is also attached!
And with that, arc 2 is finally over! The second arc of this extended introduction did end up growing beyond my original plans, but in some ways it also stayed pretty close to the outline; Octavia began and ended the arc in (almost) the exact positions I had in mind for her, albeit with rather a bit more development on the road between those two points. She is so difficult to guide through the narrative, fighting against me every step of the way. Which is great, because that's what seems to work best! I'm very pleased with how this arc went, with everyone I managed to get on screen, with all the introductions and new faces and ... dangerous dynamics? Indeed! And I hope you enjoyed it too, dear readers.
Next chapter, we're onto the beginning of arc 3. I shan't say anymore just yet!
But! Also! I have some more art to share, from over on the discord server. This one is from a few weeks back, since I couldn't reveal it to the public readers at the time: Home Is Dead To Me And I Am Dead To Home, (by Raß!), a rendition of one of the slogans/designs on the walls of the Big Room in Plato Base. It's fascinating to see readers making these things a reality. Thank you so much! (I have also once again updated the memes page, which is just full of so much stuff.)
And now, back to Luna's windswept mountains once again ...

I agree, hurting a Zoog is going too far. I would let the world burn before I'd even consider harming a single hair on a Zoog! We must go to war with England. To protect the Zoogs!!!
These girls probably don't need much more of an excuse or reason to go to war with England, but protecting zoogs is a fine one!
Call me icicles the way chapter is seducing me
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!
You manage, regularly, to make me feral for more. Where's the next chapter atom to punch.
Thank you very much! Really glad you're enjoying this. I'll let you in on a little secret: I get feral for more story too, and often wish I could write even faster, just so I can unfold the next part right away. If only I could punch my way to the next chapter, just like Octavia!
Oh goodness, these girls are awful! I love it! Whatever's going on with Willow doesn't seem quite normal though. Worrying Zoogs deserve to be spoiled
Hahaha, they're terrible, right?! I already can't get enough of them. Willow ... hm. You might be onto something. Merely thinking about Willow has such a strange effect on Octavia, doesn't it? Zoogs deserve all the pettings, yes!
