List of retcons to come -- gonna redo prior chapters to match:

  1. Date -- Moving from ~2060 to ~2025 (includes names, references, height, futurism)

  2. System -- numbers, dates, magic, stats, costs ... more focus on powers of 2.

  All shuffled to make roughly the same characters, system, but allowing more growth later.

  3. A couple flashes of a status screen, even though Snake doesn't like them, and mostly avoids.

  4. More humanity to prisoners

  5. More introspection while wandering -- knowing he's drifting, and hoping to find a path.

  6. More male appearance-improvement, not just female, though maybe not much more noticing by Snake. Not his vibe.

  7. Links to some references in chapter, maybe

  8. I can't make Piyu's accent in my head be anything but a particularly pronounced posh British-ish accent. Not just RP, but ... perhaps a smidge more musical than Hermione. She reminds me of an upper class internationally educated Indian friend with whom I taught English in Moscow back in the day.

  If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

  9. No expensive gear: Inner strength dimension.

  10. A bit more on who Snake was before the transition.

  11. Harder transition to echolocation

  Am I missing anything that I should be retconning?

  Adds from writing and discussing

  12. Meeting Mu + Danae ... more separation

  13. Still anti-slavery crusading, but more clarity on it being a goal of Snake's, not just following D. Not sure how yet.

  14. Current working title:

  |: A Bard's Tail :| Drums, not Lewt

  Y'all can see the musical notation for repeat -- trying to pun between Loot and Lute. Not sure if it's working.
