Muster Call

Explicit

Gideon the Ninth, Act I, Chapter 3

Gideon is having just the worst day. Harrow gets a surprising message. Ortus and Glaurica change plans.

Claire Beans (she/they) and Han Koehle (any pronouns) explore why skeletons go to church, fatphobia in the myriadic year, and social norms around death on the Ninth. Claire waxes poetical about cosplay. Han wants to know the provenance of the Ninth prayer. Tamsyn Muir is a troll (complimentary).

Content Warning: death, suicide, physical abuse, fatphobia, body size, suggestive themes
