In sheer horror I realized that Christmas is a thing and right around the corner.

So, uh. Gonna work on ramming this first arc through, so we won't be blindsided by the holidays and actually have the perfect time for a small break for me to prepare for the second arc, and figure out how I want to set it up. Going back and forth between starting a new thread or just keeping this one, and updating the title as we go along.
