“That was fun.” PSI King said as they started packing up.
“Playing with a floating brain was super-weird.” James said. “But you’re a cool dude.”
Parson snorted. “He flirted with every single NPC that didn’t have weapons drawn.” And a few that did, yes.

It was interesting to return to one of the original three snippets I put on the snippet thread to provide options for this poll. Was fun.

2023-06-02 04:37:15 +0000 UTC View PostAs it turns out, I had a full chapter 90% done that I completely forgot about. So I'm going to, in two weeks, release a third chapter of To Be a Hero.

2023-06-01 14:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostIt was a point of pride for Tanya that despite all of these demands on her time, she kept up her job duties at reasonable efficiency. Well, reasonable by her, admittedly high, standards. By the standard set by the tradesmen who normally performed these maintenance tasks, she was putting them to s...
2023-05-29 14:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post“Why this pose?” Agent Nein asked. He was holding Tanya up by her Psychonauts jumpsuit, the slack provided by the oversized garment allowing her to hang a whole foot below his hand.
“Give her a stern glare.” The art director said. “Like she just got into some mischief and needs sc...
2023-05-22 14:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostDespite Tanya’s reservations, there were a few things she could do to mitigate the risk to Harry’s mentality. Mostly, it involved personally moderating the psychic connection and actions. It didn’t quite ruin the usability of the tests, but it did it no favors. If it would have gone catastr...
2023-05-15 14:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostWhile it's not finalized whether this month's snippet will be To Be a Hero, I still revised the first chapter, expanded it, and as it's already public, and was never posted here, I figured I might as well do that.
I do have the contents of the mystery box planned if it wins...
2023-05-12 05:04:44 +0000 UTC View Post“Agent Mentalis took a vacation?” Tanya asked, incredulous.
“Yep.” Said Jerimaiah ‘Jerry’ Lewitz, her actual supervisor. The technicians tended to fall into two categories: engineers who could fabricate the artisanal psycho-reactive technology that the Psychonauts rely on for th...
2023-05-08 14:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post“We’ve made a lot of progress, Tanya.” Mom said cheerfully. “We’re almost done.”
Tanya grabbed another few bits of floating memory. “First day of school…” She tossed it back into the air, frowning. The ‘plan’ for her new mind had all of the past life memories sequester...

Tanya wasn’t entirely certain what to expect, but she expected the sensory input that the capsule should be sending to the brain to have some kind of effect. Perhaps… Harry had some kind of sensory disorder? It would mean the automatic synchronization wouldn’t function, and would ...
2023-05-01 14:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostIt's that time again! I decided to release the poll a little early, because I didn't see the point in scheduling it instead.
As usual, "Mystery box" is something new, and you can vote for multiple options.
Starting at the 'induction into the Marines' part of Unknown Justice in...
2023-04-30 21:43:53 +0000 UTC View PostTanya did not appear in the same place as before. Most entrants into Agent Mentalis’ mind were directed to the central database; as nothing the Psychonauts had access to was more capable of storing and retrieving massive amounts of information than a mind; once server storage increases in utili...
2023-04-24 14:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostTanya’s eyes snapped open as her psychic alarm went off. Today was the day! A glance and flex of her telekinesis opened up her psychoisolation bed, and she rolled out of it, catching herself and standing instead of falling to the floor.
“It’s time to wake up, Mary.” Tanya called out...
2023-04-17 14:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostAs it turned out, having a brute of a circus ringmaster punch apart a large chunk of your mind because it was trying to rebel, while effective, was not something that could happen consequence-free. It made Tanya feel a little better for not telling him about “Marona’s” true identity. He ref...
2023-04-10 14:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostTanya opened her eyes. Agh, her head was pounding. She was back at the circus, in the giant bed where the Aquato family all slept together. On her left, Donatella’s pregnant belly pinned Tanya down as the woman hugged her close. On Tanya’s right, Augustus wrapped his muscular arms around the ...

As I haven't announced it here yet, if you haven't noticed I've changed things so the $3 patrons not only get to vote on this, but they get the early release of what they voted on! Seems obvious that I should have done that in hi...
2023-04-01 16:53:49 +0000 UTC View PostIt's the winner of the vote! Enjoy. I'm not great with chapter titles, so for this one, how about 'Being Tanya is suffering'? It's a series of scenes pre-book 1, focusing on Tanya's life pre-fire.

Okay, maybe being a Psychic isn’t so bad. Once he got out to the wider terrain, Augustus tried out flight. It took him a minute to adjust the math-oriented power to his weight, but it allowed him to move so quickly…

2023-03-24 14:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostOne thing that was apparent, after a few days of circus life, was that something always needed fixing.
