I've been writing and rewriting Octavia's post since forever, and it's remarkable how much of a block I'm experiencing with her. If I don't manage to write in anything new by tomorrow, I'll just go ahead and post what I have now, even though it's kinda short and not very impressive.

I don't have anything for Gideon at the moment, and I feel like I've been too active on this storybook. I'm giving other people a chance to post.

@Rydia did Dunagan leave his arm with Gideon or did he leave with it??

Dunagan wouldn't have been willing to leave the full arm but we can say Gideon did a partial fix and then asked him to come back later so he could fit a new part if you like? @RavenLord

I'm planning on writing a post for this storybook soon! Hopefully by Thursday this week.

I haven't been doing much storybooking. You may have noticed I haven't kept up with any of the SBs I'm in very well. I keep doing other things with my writing time, and end up with no inspiration/energy for these (plus I'm just not very good at them).
I've neglected Charcoal because my character is completely superfluous, so I figure the important players (delegates, murderer, and detective, along with the rest of you!) can keep going and I can show up if anything interesting happens. I'm still clue-master of course, and will keep the clue post updated, and message people appropriately as needed. I'm watching for whenever the murderer does anything and I'll be sure to pass on any confidential information necessary. Vince will appear if I get a strike of inspiration or can somehow forward the plot, otherwise I leave it in your capable hands.
I only know that learning to believe in the power of my own words has been the most freeing experience of my life. It has brought me the most light. And isn't that what a poem is? A lantern glowing in the dark. — Elizabeth Acevedo, The Poet X
