Thanks for your patience guys · 7:24pm Mar 27th, 2017
I'm not dead, I'm not abandoning the story, I'm just still recovering from that wisdom tooth extraction. It really messed me up BADLY.
I haven't had any solid food since the evening of Wednesday the 22nd.
This has been maddening.
I'll be back soon, I promise. I really apologize for the long wait.
While I'm certain that everyone appreciates you updating us (I know that I do), I don't think you need to apologize for anything. Some people have recovery periods shorter than others.
What matters is that you're getting better.
... you are getting better, right? I hope so. Not being able to have solid foods would drive me up the wall for certain
My lifesaver after my wisdom teeth were removed?
Peach.
Motheryaying.
Smoothies.
Yeah, no apologies needed. Just, get well, okay. It will be over soon enough, and you will be free from pain.
"I hate this," grumbled Queen Chrysalis. "Queen of all the changelings, and I'm reduced to a squeaky toy." She wobbled the hoof that was holding onto said toy with a sad little squeak. "Let the little vermin in before I lose my patience."
A small door in the nearby wall opened up, and a little pink foal toddled out, her knobby knees and clumsy hooves giving her gait an unsteady, bursty tendency. She spotted the squeaky toy tied around Chrysalis's hoof and stumbled forward, with eyes only for the tiny little sparkly ball that made such tempting noises.
"Ah, that's better," sighed the changeling queen. She waved the little toy to the great amusement of the little foal and soaked up the childish stream of love that followed. The gaping pits in her jaws where her wisdom fangs used to be would be healed up in three or four weeks, and by then, she was so looking forward to some real solid food in her diet again.
I've said it before, I'll say it again. Take all the time you need. Trust me, we'll all still be here when you get back.
