I'm gonna be so for real with you: Throughout the entirety of Cai's route, I kept seeing a person named Creek just hanging around Dagsion and at no point did I think "I'm going to recruit that guy." Just didn't find him remotely interesting. I truly know nothing about him whatsoever except that his name is Creek. And even then, I kept thinking "oh, that's the teal guy." He might be the most interesting character in Fortune's Weave, and I'd have absolutely no idea. Point being: I usually come into writing these episode descriptions with some kind of thought about how to elaborate on the fantasy of the title and the art and make it feel like a little world in one or two sentences — you know, using the economy of comedy and all that — but this time I have absolutely nothing for you. Zilch! The episode is called "Creek's Hot Toddy" because that's funny as heck, but don't come to me looking for Creek facts, alright? I don't have any! I don't know the guy! I don't know what gifts to give him or what he'd consider a "perfect" bird time. Honestly, Creek might not even be his real name! Imagine if it was Todd. Todd's Hot Toddy? That's also very good. That's funny.Alrighty, well I've about run out of things to say here. Same time next week though, cool? Cool.
