Ermagewd, I’m so happy with your detailed answers! Thank you for taking the time to write it all out =D
Okay, one more from me before I get to the questions part. This one is for everyone that wants to chip in. The legend of Arthur is, among other things, a tragedy. There are some very dark parts in it. I can axe some of them, but a few you can’t get rid of without breaking the story. I’ll never show anything of a graphic nature and most of it will be implied indirectly, but what do you think about the disclaimers on chapter 1.7 and 1.3?

I demand Pickle Pictures! Here’s one of my cats to make it fair ^^

Thank you for letting me know! I was in doubt on whether to add that or leave it on the cutting room floor to make room for the main cast, so I’m glad that you’re enjoying the minor bits ^^
Question! Since the latest chapter focused exclusively on her, do you have an idea of what her flaws are? @mercuryfoam made the correct observation that her traits and flaws weren’t that fleshed out yet in previous chapters, so I was wondering if the latest one changed that.

“Ha! I knew you couldn’t resist me for long.”
HAHAHAHAHA. I’ll let him know XDDDDD
There was a moment during the picture taking where I had Gawain on the bridge, and the man posing to strike at him. That picture when he’s suddenly right next to his face. You know the one. I didn’t know he was going to look so menacing, and it legitimately surprised me, especially because there was an in-game lightning strike right at that moment that illuminated his face 0.o The close-up one of his face while holding a sword over Gawain was like that, too. It’s like the in-game sim knew what was happening and wanted to give a good show 0.o
So maybe I'm not really a dog person... but more a Pickle person? :tongue:

I particularly love when you give minor characters moments to shine (like, the iconic section in 1.6 where poor Sarah is excited for her night only to have to cancel it because of Arthur's shenanigans... that was amazing and a very welcome humorous section in the story).

Morgana is a very sympathetic main character. I love her spirit, and I think she's an excellent heroine for the story.

Finally, Arthur... well, it's no secret that I was not a fan for a while, but you've done a wonderful job of humanizing him and making me feel.... sympathy?!... for Arthur?!

-Richard: Snot-nosed little s***.
HAHAHAHAHA. I’ll let him know XDDDDD
When Gawain is willing to fight to the death against the shady man kidnapping Morgana, that was so hard to read! It was exciting and powerful, but I was horrified that it seemed that Gawain was going to die at the hands of this evil man.

"Okay, we’ve got some more questions from a reader! Let’s get-"
https://i.ibb.co/1MmTn9h/06-26-20-3-57-06-PM.jpg
“Wait. Watcher, why are you in your pyjamas?”
"…I’m not. This is a blouse."
https://i.ibb.co/8d6c8VM/06-25-20-7-00-00-PM.jpg
“With pyjama bottoms. And… are those Christmas socks?”
Hey, don’t judge my Christmas socks. We’re in quarantine, this is my work outfit now. Nobody can see my Christmas socks during a Zoom meeting, anyway.
“What’s 'Zoom'?”
"OKAY, let’s move on! First-"
https://i.ibb.co/1MmTn9h/06-26-20-3-57-06-PM.jpg
“Nuh-uh! If you’re in pyjamas, I get to be in pyjamas, too. This dress is itchy.”
“You’re a sim. You don’t get itchy.”
“I do too. Let me change.”
“Ugh… fine. Hang on.”

"There. Happy now?"
“Yup!”
"Okay, first question. What do you think you'll learn from your various investigations (into Richard, the May Day incident, etc.)? Do you really think you should be opening those cans of worms?"
https://i.ibb.co/DV4xkNd/06-26-20-4-01-55-PM.jpg
“Richard knew exactly what to say to get to me back during the ball. I don’t know if he paid a servant to spy, but I want to find out what I need to say to get to him. It doesn’t have to be really big. Just something to give me an edge. Maybe he has a crush on a noble girl. Maybe he’s into boys. Any secrets he doesn’t want people to know about work, too. Or maybe he’s really scared of the dark, or can’t deal with small rooms, or maybe there’s an animal he is afraid of?”
https://i.ibb.co/mq9MDHG/06-25-20-7-02-17-PM.jpg
"Oh, yeah… speaking of which, aren’t you terrified of-"
https://i.ibb.co/JvqdLkw/06-26-20-4-10-21-PM.jpg
“THANK YOU, Watcher! Next topic!”
"All right. There’s still May Day. What do you expect to find?”
https://i.ibb.co/syWHSNX/06-26-20-4-03-36-PM.jpg
“I don’t know. A criminal to have my father arrest, I hope. But it bothers me. If I lost someone important to me to a murderer, I’d want to see them brought to justice, too. I’m sure that peasant man feels the same way. He doesn’t have anyone left… and he doesn’t even have closure for Ada. No wonder he still cries. I know Merlin would be mad at me, but I can’t let it go.”
“Speaking of which. Next question… Where do you think Merlin is?"
https://i.ibb.co/sgVqNp6/06-26-20-4-01-33-PM.jpg
“Oh, I know that one! He’s with the Druids!”
“Druids?”
“Yeah. When we were smaller, Millicent used to tell Merlin and I stories about the druids in the deep woods. She said they were peaceful, and kind, and heal people with magic like she and I can. She told us how to find them. We had to use our magic and follow the signs. Merlin is really good with magic, so he’ll find them in no time!”
https://i.ibb.co/QnhGspp/06-26-20-4-01-04-PM.jpg
"He’s really sweet, you know? We found a baby bird in the gardens once. A cat stole it out of its mother’s nest. It didn’t make it – I didn’t know how to heal yet back then. But we tried really hard anyway. Merlin… he stayed up with the bird all night, trying to get it to eat and watching over it. When it died, he cried for almost a week."
"I don’t know why I told you that. Don’t tell Arthur, okay?”
"Next one. I don't think you're gonna like this one. Do you think magic is truly bad or are you only afraid of your powers because of your father's stance on them?"
https://i.ibb.co/HC39mgg/06-26-20-4-04-14-PM.jpg
“I… I don’t know. Everything bad that’s happened is because of magic. Arthur almost died because of the magic in that pastry. And the man that tried to take me… he used magic, too. Father says that magic took my mother away, and every criminal he burns is a sorcerer. I know that Merlin and Millicent are good… but she always told me not to use my magic. She taught Merlin... but she wouldn't teach me.”
https://i.ibb.co/mXsRLcP/06-26-20-4-03-56-PM.jpg
"That... probably means something."
"And the last question! Are you going to give our girl Sarah some more time off? Girl needs it!"
https://i.ibb.co/jDC7Z3q/06-26-20-4-13-54-PM.jpg
