Thanks to Dref Travis discovers that his encounter with his mother was not what it seemed. Now he struggles to keep Orimar’s clouded perceptions from lulling him away from the truth long enough to find safety. Gable discovers they are in a similar situation and takes advantage of it to work through some trauma. Unfortunately, it might have attracted some very unwanted attention. Jonnit has his own illusions to deal with but he has to determine what he would be comfortable doing to something that looks like his sister.

Skyjacks: Episode 164

November 16, 2022 James D'Amato Comments Off

The crew of the Uhuru awakens deep in the heart of what to most a sprawling and unfamiliar wood. To one member though, it is all too familiar. They do not know how long they have been sleeping, how far they have traveled, or what awaits them within the lurking roots and branches. To make matters worse two members of the crew are deeply our of their comfort zones. Thankfully a friend is able to lend them aid.

CONTENT NOTE
Main Show: Blood, spooky woods stuff, disorientation, feeling lost, waking up in an unfamiliar place, not fully controlling your body, a dangerous level of what is either nihilism or solipsism, grief for a lost friend, poop jokes

Starwhal Odyssey: Preview

November 3, 2022 James D'Amato 01:27:43 Comments Off

Deep in space, the cosmic metropolis of Caldera is home to many strange folk from far reaches of the universe. The residents of the tenement above the Lucky Fin restaurant: Ty- a chill Keeper of the Vibe, Petronilla- a young, exhausted, and aimless pottimus mercenary, Harker- a talented and underappreciated master chef running from his past and future, and Saach- an impulsive pact-bound dragonling with dreams of being a mega-streamer, are about to start a deeply unexpected journey.

CONTENT NOTE

Mild body horror, reference to pornography, people oppressed by a soulless capitalist gig economy, not living up to expectations.
