I wasn't able to cobble anything together in time for SJX, but I wanted to leave a few reviews anyway, so spoilers for anyone who has not yet played;
 
The writing is charming and feels really believable, it always feels rooted in a sense of real connection with a person. It was also a fun surprise to see the Charlies again! And the conversation that Papaya can have with Ash n' Liam after meeting those two might be my favorite one, I really liked how everyone was able to resolve something casually inconsiderate and potentially sad into a chance to meet someone new and consider others. My favorite ending is probably the flowerplay one though, it's such an intimate idea and it feels kind of wild that I've never seen that before? Of course I'd bump flowers with someone else's flower if i had one!! And Lexy's little icon is such a great addition to this experience haha, I loved the flustered face she made when she'd get brought up. 

The music was a nice accompaniment too, it was atmospheric and didn't distract while not falling into being white noise either. And Cheezball is there.

i've had this open for a WEEK thinking "wow i should reply to this" but i don't really know what to say except wow thanks!!  and i also love mini lexy haha.  also ash and liam.  wow those guys came out great.  they feel so bumbling but they sort of bumble in the right direction together

this art is so nice and also really funny because (a) cheezball's interruption corresponds exactly with a real world cheeseball interruption as that section was being written, and (b) i changed it to say "a mysterious force..." at the last minute with the intention that i am the mysterious force but it is a very cat thing as well
