Whoops!! So sorry this wasn’t up earlier; I’ve been traveling and I got my days turned around, and forgot to post this last night.
We didn’t end up winning at the IGF, GDCA, or BAFTAs… but I had a great time anyway! And it was such a joy to meet the other nominees in our categories, particularly the Games Beyond Entertainment category at the BAFTAs. Every game in that category is a total treat, and really shows what’s possible when you have a little game and a big heart.
Anyway! Please enjoy getting to know Eris a little better… she might be my new favorite character, actually. She was so sharp in her first appearance, which was partially the way I drew her at the time, but I like to think that in retrospect because that was an Imogen POV chapter, Imogen was just so intimidated that she looked Like That to her. 😀

TRANSCRIPT
Panel 1 (Eris helps Imogen to her feet)
Eris: I like your hair. It suits you.
Panel 2 (Imogen adjusts her glasses, smiling)
Imogen: Um… thank you. It’s Eris, right?
Panel 3 (Eris moves Imogen under the awning, out of foot traffic)
Eris: Yes, that’s right. We met at my place. I’m surprised you recognized me. You left early that day.
Imogen: Y-yeah, sorry, I wasn’t feeling well.
Panels 4-6 (Eris notices that Imogen is carrying papers from a family lawyer, and smiles gently)
Eris: Hey… why don’t we go grab something now? To make up for last time.
This should be interesting…
I love Alex… but I love mess and drama so if Imogen falls for Eris I wouldn’t be upset…
yeee
It’s interesting Erin remembers that encounter that well. Not unrealistic, but interesting.
I mean, Imogen has a distinctive (read: very attractive) look, so it makes sense Eris recognized her, but remembering she left early. I wonder if any among them at the time realized that she’d been made uncomfortable or not, it can be sort of tough to tell with Alex’s friends.
Oh I’m SO here for supportive Eris arc if that’s where it’s going 💜 she just seems genuinely caring and nice
