From One Female Impersonation to Another

Today's chapter—

—ends the current branch. A short-and-sweet commentary post can be found here: "Re: Making a Fourth Maskateer"  

Tomorrow I start fulfilling another commission, with a short sequel to "Meet the Welches" . Background:

Will and Caleb have accidentally petrified Will's dad, and the two of them are trying to find a cure. They need a secure place to work, and Will has just hijacked the body and identity of one of the school's tutors, Shannon Welch. They have just arrived at the Welches' house, to take care of Shannon's husband.

After that, I will tackle the Will-and-Sydney-and-Caleb storyline I've been polling about. I've just closed the second poll, and I don't even know why I bothered to poll you people. It was obvious a mile away what routes you would want to see the story go down.

Anyway, "Will should impersonate Caleb's mom" was the runaway winner, both in the free votes and the GP votes. I didn't even bother to calculate what the final vote would have worked out to, but it probably would have been 75-15-10. [EDIT: Okay, while figuring out dividends, I did have to calculate the final vote. It as Will-64%, Sydney-25%, Golem-11%]

At least some people were smart enough to GP-vote for some of the losers, so that there will be a GP dividend distribution this time.
