Episode three did not suck. It did not blow me away.

But it did not suck.

...nd then I reached an epiphany, where I realized some things in the cycle of Mutable Self. So I've made a change, and it works. It is from this point that I shall reshape reality.

I've got the tools I need ... or the capacity to create them. The problem is implimentation. The tools I have now (or can have, should I need them) are fine, but before I really commit myself to a substantial investiture of ... anything, really ... I need to know that the theory and reasoning behind my plan are sound.

And that means that I can't work on the scale I intend to, at least, initially. More planning ... but also, practice.

This is progress.
