Pentiment, Part Two

Friends! I have excellent news about Pentiment.

There is a sewer level at the end of the game, and it's one of the absolute best sewer levels that ever was. I was planning to finish Pentiment last night, but I had to put it down because I was so thrilled and delighted by being able to explore the ruins of a Roman aqueduct by lanternlight. I want to spread the joy of this sewer level out across two evenings.

I'm not sure I'll be able to get to it this year, but next year I want to write a listicle for Sidequest about "Top Ten Sewer Levels in Video Games."

Editing An Unfound Door

I finished the first draft of the last chapter of An Unfound Door; and, while I was editing, I decided that one of the minor characters should be female instead of male. As a treat to myself. So now I'm going back into Chapter Six and writing a scene with this character, and I'm falling in love with her.

As the evening progressed, Agnes found her attention claimed by the Duchess of Margrave, a tall and broad-shouldered woman with an easy smile and gray eyes as pale as her wheat-colored hair. Margrave had survived her late husband with a gaggle of bachelor sons, each of whom was as strapping as their mother. The duchess reminded Agnes of a sunflower, standing a head above the crowd and beaming. Her affability was infectious, and she made no attempt to veil the eligibility of her sons, whom she praised like the horses for which her duchy was justifiably famous.

Agnes may prefer dark and brooding monster men, but I would happily marry one of the bisexual horse lady's large adult sons. Or maybe I'll skip the sons; I hear she's single.
