I'm back! And we're at the beginning of a new arc. Mysteries abound!

The interlude went on a bit longer than I thought it would, but by all accounts it was enjoyed, so I'm happy enough. It's quite a handy thing to do; as you plan out a story, ideas for smaller, shorter pieces occur to you naturally. The interlude gave me a chance to use some of those ideas, and by the time this arc comes to a close, I should have some more for another. That's getting ahead, though! If all goes well, this upcoming story should prove interesting enough to stop you looking too far ahead.
