CHAPTER NINE

The rest of the munch was sort of a blur. I was totally overwhelmed, but in a strange way that didn’t bother me too much. Not in the anxious-headachey kind of way, at least. Maybe that would come later…? I didn’t know, and I didn’t care. I felt good, a little dopey, a little tired, and very happy.

The amount of information, though…

Other than what they’d already covered, followed by all the members who wanted to contribute to the auction, plenty remained. Such as two events, the auction itself, and our next Game.

To get back on track, we were going to host two Games in December, the first one right as the month began or the following weekend, and then one closer to Christmas.

Now in November, we had the auction and a couple smaller events I wasn’t sure we’d attend yet. Greer mentioned he might host a demo once the temporary place was up and running.

Macklin came over after a while too, and he apologized for doing what he’d done so publicly. But I was over it. To be honest, it felt kinda good to have it out in the open. Obviously, I had to spend a few minutes elaborating to Greer, Sloan, and Archie, and that was fine. For some reason, I’d worried people would either make fun of me or…I didn’t know, treat me differently somehow.

And if I were even more honest with myself, which was hard to say out loud: “Since this started with me just wanting to make my cousin feel better, I didn’t put any thought into the actual illustrations. A toddler could’ve drawn them, and that was kind of the point. But to be recognized for your shittiest work and have millions of people saying the doodling is awesome for the wrong reasons… Blah. It just wasn’t what I’d imagined when I decided I wanted to work with illustration.”

Sloan gave my leg a squeeze. “I think I can relate to that. Becoming a tattoo artist wasn’t my original plan. But we’re still bringing our art to people who appreciate it, aren’t we?”

“Exactly.” Greer agreed with him.

I shrugged. “I guess. But calling my dinos art is a big stretch.”

“Now I have to see them,” Archie said abruptly and dug out his phone. “What do I search for?”

“Attention Deficit Dinos,” I replied.

“Either way, I’m impressed,” Greer said. He stole an abandoned piece of chicken from my plate. “Do you know how rare it is for people to make a living on art and shit like that?”

And shit like that.

I grinned.

“Smooth, honey.” Sloan smirked.

“Fuck smooth.” Greer smirked right back, then returned his attention to me. “So how does this work? Do people subscribe to updates?”

“No, I post them for free on my Twitter,” I said. “Lane’s the business brain. He saw the potential once I had, like, half a million followers, so he set up a web shop for me, and that’s… Yeah, that’s our business. I provide the content, and he sells merch.”

So far, anyway. I
