Next EGSNP is going to be Thursday for writing reasons.
I'm not sure I'm happy with what I was planning, and I don't feel like I'm in the right headspace to figure it out today.
I am sorry for the delay.

For the record, dual-wielding pickaxes in Skyrim is a TERRIBLE idea.

Unbeknownst to Ashley and Sarah, and contrary to previous wands made by Tedd, the spells in this wand had a range to them.
Not only was it not touch-based, the wand would effectively ignore anyone the tip of it touched, and target whoever else was closest.
This was intended to make it so people didn't have to bon...

Curvy nonsense: When a character is made more curvy than normal for an image.

For the record, Ashley and Sarah aren't small because they're in the background. They are Christmas elves, after all.
I wasn't sure what sort of forms a feminine Santa and her elves should have, so I carefully researched it, and these forms were largely supported by the results.
Don't ask where I looked.

Having some understanding of change blindness, and knowing that Grace could get away with sometimes play around with it, Ashley thought she could transform herself at the mall without Liz, or anyone else, noticing.
She was mistaken, but also determined to not acknowledge that she had changed in any way.

It's entirely possible George is just suggesting Larry the Bard handle questioning because Larry's high charisma might be good for that, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Susan, Sarah, Ashley. One of these three gets to play Santa! The other two, um, "get" to play as elves.
Who gets to be Santa? Please note that any fine print involved with these roles are too small to read.
