Re: Headcanons

Kate Gelato's parents run an ice cream parlor. The oxymoronic name of Gelato's Ice Cream endured it to area restaurants and made it a popular local business. The money that made through it paid for Kate to attend journalism school.

Re: 2020/09/30 - Only Get The One Channel

If the government becomes aware and convinced of the fact that humans can get transmogrified by force, it's also likely that a manhunt badgerhunt would be launched to capture Steward, since the trail's gone cold for local law enforcement. Or worse, someone sees it as a plausible weapon and come aft...
