  • An Interview with Elun

    Welcome aboard, Elun. It’s great to have you here today! A’course! Any mate of Jaranin’s is a mate o’ mine. Say, that promise of victuals after all this hullabaloo still stands, aye?

  • An Interview with Isalaina

    Update : Updated formatting to current blog standards. Thanks for taking the time to talk with us today, Isalaina! The pleasure’s mine! After all, Jaranin said it wasn’t so bad, so I thought if he was going to be brave, I’d have to give it a try, too. (Laughs) So, let me get the quick […]
