This chapter will be delayed a bit — I'll release two chapters together

Actually, this chapter was only two or three hundred characters away from being done, but I realized there's no point in splitting it up. The atmosphere would suffer if I did. So I might as well finish this section and release both chapters together, letting you all read through in one sitting for a better experience. It'll probably take about two… hours or so — anyway, I'll go eat lunch once I'm done writing. Please toss me your guaranteed monthly votes!
