BLACK CLOAK #9
I did a double jinx on myself with this one, guys. And you might think those would cancel each other out, ALAS, NO.
Double jinx? I can hear you asking.
Well, first I promised you last time that I’d make sure you guys had this issue in the morning the day of release. FIRST JINX.
Then I was doing a podcast on Tuesday and specifically mentioned to the podcaster that FINALLY I was going to be on time for you guys this week. DOUBLE JINX.
Guess what happened then?
That night… literally WHILE I was working on the files I had some kind fatal hardware failure on my (NOT EVEN THREE YEARS OLD) Mac Laptop.
So that kicked off about 24 hours of trying to repair/recover/replace. And then (after you have to replace it for $$$$, because o course I did) all the extra time trying to get your machine back to some semblance of normalcy — programs downloaded, data uploaded, blah blah blah.
Fortunately, the raw BLACK CLOAK files are well backed up (beyond my puny machine) but I still had to re-do all the prep work to get us ready to upload.
Anyway, we’re circling back to normalcy, and a full… 28-ish hours late, we’re here. Apologies again — for the delays and for sounding like a broken record.

Thanks to all of you. I’m so happy we’re getting to do this second arc and it absolutely would not be possible without your support. <3
