Rosewater Games ➡ Sagebrush

@rosewatergames.bsky.social

Ezra and his sister have been pretty distant for a few years now, but now that Meera's working near his campus, perhaps he'll have to properly bother his sibling during her shifts, right? 🤔

Rosewater Games ➡ Sagebrush

@rosewatergames.bsky.social

Things are a little awkward now that Ezra's two friends have broken up, and even more awkward when Ezra finds himself alone with Arlene. What's exactly going on between this trio of friends?

third time posting for #VNLink!
they're trying to uncover the mystery :)

text reading
f "I'm stuck. I can't figure out what kind of potion your friend could've taken. Even a dud would show obvious signs if it was boosted that much…"

"He's thinking so hard over this, I almost feel a bit guilty for deceiving him. Maybe I should have mentioned the one effect we do know the potion had…"

"Before I can dwell on it, though, his head darts up."

f "Oh! Actually, perfect timing!"

f "We're here! You'd be better off asking an expert than trusting little old me with a diagnosis!"
