Audio Drama Sunday didn't know what to expect

Here's a crossover I didn't know I needed! And wouldn't you know it, the "city metro line becomes a city" show and the "rescued aliens share people's bodies" show have a weird amount in common, which the episode has fun pointing out. I like the idea that Give Me Away is canon in Greater Boston, but everyone is Greater Boston is just too wrapped up in all the bs in front of them to even comment on the confirmed existence of aliens.

More magic! More London! More of Naomi's 🎶 London facts 🎶 ! Realms' Liminal London series has been dropping big hints about the Queen of Hyde Park for a long time, and the only thing I love more than teasing at a powerful off-screen villain is when the spotlight moves to them and the teasing pays off.

I'm just going to copy-paste from the show description here:

The world has been ravaged down to the core, the oceans banished to the skies, and the two remaining habitable continents are divided by a massive canyon full of demonic birds. One of these continents is the playground of the wealthy, the other a slum inhabited by the poor. In addition to having to live in a Dickensian gutter, the inhabitants of the poor hemisphere are afflicted with a second terrible curse: Every day is Christmas Day.

Two teams of four characters have four sessions to acquire as much in-game wealth as possible, by any means necessary. The winning team gets a real cash prize and their characters each gain a wish.

I can't really articulate what this is better than this. Already there's been rules lawyering aplenty and even more weird worldbuilding on top of the ridiculous initial premise.

London PodFest 2023!

We had a great time watching other people's shows and catching up with lovely Kilda folk, so here's a big ol' post about the day!

I arrived late and missed the morning shows, but was reliably informed that they were fantastic! Alas, two of our most social-media-averse boys spent the morning together, so we have no pics.

But! Pre-afternoon-shows, here is our most beloved island elder who toootally has a medical degree, and actual legend Kirsty who just found out this weekend young Amy was like 6, lol.

Spent some time lovingly bullying the We Fix Space Junk crew by making memes (Bin Juice is the name of Michael's cat)

Gave someone a delicious frozen beverage that kind of exploded, and Kirsty very kindly provided this extremely legible sign.

Watch the Realms of Peril and Glory live show, which was incredible! So proud of Naomi, who killed it as always.

No We Fix Space Junk pics, a travesty! But they were spectacular, as were Amelia and Greater Boston!

Michelle!!!

And super fun, super funny, very meta Kane and Feels live show to wrap up the day!

Kilda group photo!!!

We lost Rhys to The Grind before the evening shows, rip.

Assorted Scottish people who found themselves in London.

Aaaand finally one giant group photo!

Thank you everyone for a fab day! Hope to see you all next year!

"Look, she's well steep."

Character Name: Montgomery “Three-Card Monty” Barker

Fandom: Realms of Peril & Glory (@realmspod), Liminal London campaigns [Podcast]

Played By: Naomi Clarke (@naomithinksit)

Yarn Used: Hair: CraftSmart Value - Toasted Almond Skin: CraftSmart Value - Taupe Birthmark/Mouth: Caron Lava Cakes - Sour Cherry Tracksuit: Red Heart Super Saver - Spring Green Zipper: CraftSmart Value - Heather Grey Shoes: CraftSmart Value - Tomato Soles: CraftSmart Value - White

Basic pattern here.

Monty, our beloved chicken nugget wizard. I fell in love with this kid pretty much from the moment I heard him (him being Naomi’s creation helped with that) and he’s just…adorable. And after Episode 4 of Loose Change (the fourth mystery), Great Googly Mooglies, that boy needs all the hugs. I hauled ass to get him finished in time for Episode 5 (I am writing this paragraph prior to actually finishing him, so we’ll see if I manage since it’s, uh, Sunday night). [Crafter’s note: I did not. I finished him two weeks later, in time for Episode 7.] He differs from the base pattern as follows:

Shoes: I actually used a different color for his soles this time! Like with Joseph’s, I did the soles in white, then switched to red for the body of the shoes. However, I did use white for the decreases at the toes in the first round of decreasing the shoes to give that white toe cap that’s so distinctive on Converse and Converse knockoffs (per Naomi, everything Monty owns is a knockoff). I also added an extra round of decreases to make longer flat tops to the shoes and skinnier ankles. The shoes went up to R9 like that, and then: R10: Ch 1, sc in front loops of first 5 sc, sl st in next 2 sc, sc in next 5 sc, sl st in first sc (12 sc).

Tracksuit: I asked on the Light & Tragic Discord, and Naomi was kind enough to inform me that Monty wears high-tops and tucks the hem of his tracksuit into them. I also wanted the pants to have a kind of baggy effect. So once I joined the tracksuit yarn, I chained 2, then did 2dc in the back loop of the first sc in R9, then dc in the back loop of the next 10 sc in R9, then 2dc in the back loop of the final sc in R9, sl st in first dc (15dc). I then continued as normal. I used the same method for his shirt as I did for Joseph and Gerry, just a bit higher up when I started the hemline. I also formed his torso the same way as I did Gerry’s—square most of the way up and then starting the decreases at the very end. Neither of these decisions were intentional, I just wasn’t paying attention to how many rounds I’d done. For the zipper, I tied three knots on top of one another to make a zipper pull, then embroidered in straight lines up and down either side of the zipper track before doing a cross stitch up the middle.

Head: Naomi said in S4E5 that Monty “had one of those big birthmarks” and I knew I had to include it. I didn’t really plan the defined edges of the birthmark, just changed color back and forth as seemed appropriate. Came out a bit Ziggy Stardust, but you know, it’s Monty. I also used safety eyes for him again. Think I put them in too far up too soon, because stitching around them was a pain in the ass, but it worked out.

Hair: I, uh. Forgot to start adding his hair in as low as I usually do, so his hairline is a bit higher in the back than normal, which is one of the reasons there are no pictures from behind, the other being that for some reason the seam got really jagged up the back (I’m guessing I wasn’t counting carefully enough and my joins got off). I’d meant for him to have a textured stitch to his hair, but I got to that point while I was away from home and didn’t have my book with all the stitches in it with me, so I improvised. I gave him a fun little swoosh of hair at the front. Turns out I was overcomplicating things with Hux’s and Mini’s hair. There’s a legitimate stitch called the hair stitch or fur stitch that does exactly what I was trying for on them with significantly less stress, so I used that here for Monty. Gives him kind of a cheeky look and I love it.

Arms: I used the same method I used for Joseph. I only stuffed up to R20 so he would have a little more flexibility in the shoulders.

But in a city shaped by desire, it can be dangerous to want too strongly...

Hey - I just wanted to let you know that I DID in fact listen to the Vael finale before I listened to the newest CY_BORG episode and I was VERY glad I was working from home today so I didn't have to answer any questions about why my face was Doing That. XD It was so good. I had so many emotions.

It was so good!!! The first Vael campaign is def my favourite, but the others are so so good too. CY_BORG has been so fun so far but Liminal London has my whole heart if you haven't listened to those ones yet, absolutely hilarious
