As Many As They Can Muster

"Mr. de Rochefort, I'm afraid she's awakened again."

"Hm... what of the Toshin?"

"From what I gathered but a handful remain at their post, though the old guard is holding the line."

Rochefort twisted his mustache between his fingers, a grim but none the less resolute expression setting on his face - though something else gleamed behind his eyes.

"Contact their tribe, tell them we need more warriors."

"Yes, sir."

"Oh, and head down and inform Eliza that I'll be coming by shortly as well..."

"Sir?"

"Trust me, we all have an understanding of sorts."

Eliza finally gets her turn in the spotlight thanks to the Less Popular Ladies vote. She snuck into the winning spot with a singular vote, meaning the second place Jessica McCarney will get this week's wallpaper. This piece caused me quite a lot of grief I will admit, where Blender, despite not even spiking close to my VRAM limits, kept inexplicably crashing over and over. After a lot of experimenting that led nowhere I was eventually forced to rely entirely on image sequence rendering to get to keep my progress, which still suffered frequent crashing, meaning I've effectively stayed up the full night to check on it at 30 minute intervals. Still, I think the piece turned out pretty well, so I hope you enjoy it folks :)

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and for all of your kind words. No gym for me today so I'll have to simply lift twice as heavily on Wednesday (don't do this, this is a joke) to catch up, but that is for future DH, and hopefully a more rested DH, to worry about. Hope you're doing well out there folks, all things considered.

Take care of yourselves, as well as each other!
