More nerd references galore. Also, special thanks to both UncolaMan and Nel Celestine for their recent patronage. Nel actually has a VERY extended cameo in this chapter, so stay tuned.

Beatrice takes Alan to the gym so he can work this situation out on his own. Personally? I woulda taken up yoga or something, but hey. To each their own, amirite? Ship naturally finds her audience right away, so there’s no flies on this genie, no sir. Also, I don’t want to hear about Beatrice’s abrasiveness. This was scripted long before the complaints started rolling in. Rest assured, once Alan starts being more assertive, Beatrice dials it back a bit.

Don’t forget: whatever your interest, be it saving our current staff or going “all the way” and bringing Prettío back (no small task), we need more Patrons on Patreon to afford the artwork. Even if you’re new and you kick in but $1US, you’re making a difference.
