The Road works ahead
... yeah, it better get euclidean soon.
Brief(ish) introduction to my limbus company au(?) spinoff (?) ocs. I've been thinking about it for a while, but never had time to put all the pieces together.
The format of the team and their goals are different from classic sinners, I just don't think I can do anything interesting with the original premise at this point. Just how many gloving sticks can there be?
There will be art. Eventually. I'm very busy 😔
