Okay, I've wrapped up the story. As far as I'm concerned, all the stuff I wrote, except for the last two posts, can be considered "hallucinations" or whatever. Anything else can be left to the next story -- maybe a Christmas story would be good at this point. And since I've written my characters out of the story permanently, they're off-limits from this point on. I'll be using the Metatithenai and my "Neverroom" (the Metatithenai-spawn) in solo stories along with my characters, so they're off-limits as well.
