Okay. So. Couple things:

1.) ...whoops, this got info-dump-y. There's a bit more to the whole deal they're describing here, but it's mostly a thing the not-so-nice magic folk do. There'll be a Magic 101 on this during the break and, of course, we'll go (briefly, I promise!) into how Stephen got into his situation next week.

2.) Speaking of the break, the end of the chapter is nigh! I have some stuff to post, but if you'd like to submit any works for the between-chapter break, please let me know!

3.) It's October! I love October! I'll be doing Inktober and Drawlloween again this year, so follow along on Twitter! HUGUS chatacters will almost definitely show up.
