I look forward to Kibby being horrified at what she did to Alden when she learns.

Don't worry. Kibbee will be old enough to be told the truth sometime after our universe expires in an entropic soup. That may be scanning harsher than I wanted.

On a related note, who thinks the next update will include the speech at the school? I thought it was going to be the next update for the last three updates, but surely we're almost there?

every single time i've anticipated the events of the next chapter, i've been off by a minimum of three updates. so i just don't do it anymore; nothing good comes of it

Yeah looking ahead has burned me repeatedly too. But the assembly starts in 10 minutes and they are hurrying to make it? So not much should happen between now and then. But we don't know the length of the assembly or if Alden will make a splash thanks to his everything. Or how impactful any speeches will be, to cue paragraphs of reflection. So the chapter might not even get through the whole thing.

Also... I wonder if Esh is going to use it to publicly praise Alden. I'm itching to see classmates and school drama but hell, Esh could crank that to 11 with just a couple words. Busy indeed.

I am halfway surprised that Esh didn't have the commendation star from Alis'arth stitched onto the school uniform.

I was surprised about its absence as well. Maybe students don’t usually wear things like that?

Sleyca said the next chapter was going to be a long one. I think that if the pov sticks with Alden, it's going to be the assembly and his reunion with his friends.

LOL no speech, also Alden didn't get to show his star (and possibly surprise second one), but we did find out that for a "drunk moron" Lute's dad is actually pretty resourceful!

He's just tense, worried about his sister and completely incapable of social graces.

Still have not heard the school speech.

Great chapter though, laughed at several points. Adjective badgers seems like it is going to be a thing and I am excited for it.

I don't know if it's possible to stop Jupiter from stealing the show. Hmm, and Lexi's a bit rough but he's very sincere and I think that means more.

He's not a bad kid. He's just someone who hasn't figured out how to react appropriately to other people having their own priorities and interiority.

Lexi strikes me as the kind of edgy teen who's convinced that politeness and personability are dishonest manipulations.

Poor guy's having trouble reaching F-City to visit his sister because all the flyers are so expensive. If only there was someone nearby with a flying device they recently obtained.

I forgot that Alden stole some cherry cola in this chapter. Later, the Chicago healer steals some cherry cola from Jeremy. Interesting synchronicity. I wonder if it was a deliberate choice, or Sleyca just has cherry cola on her mind a lot.

rereading some of the esh-erdi chapters and thinking about his penchant for ominous statements relating to his skill (lifelong student of the way things fracture, weak points, cracks, etc etc etc), i now look forward to alden working portentous burden/carrying/luggage-related monologues into his dailyconversations as he levels up

I wonder if Sleyca has thought about that specific element of the alt history. Wouldn't shock me if the alien invasion really derailed the Beatles' career trajectory.
