All right. I should have posted this one a looong time ago but I kept stalling. There's still a LOT of work that has to be done on this but I will get on that after I've completely moved into the new apartment.
Edit: due to unforeseen consequences I will not have any internet until the eight of march... read major fuckup of isp. I will be able to post chapters at work however but that means no release today or sunday. I will make up with a double release on monday unless i can get internet throuh other means
---------------- CHAPTER STATUS -----------------
Current chapter status: 50%.
I am incredibly busy in my professional life and it won't be likely that I'll get out a chapter today/friday, but i'll make up for it at the weekend!
