This year, I come bearing the same news as last year:
That this year sees no V-Day celebration.

The reasons why have not yet changed.

"Life issues" continue to hammer away at me, and like Linda-058 after getting injured as badly as she was on Gamma Station, Venerance has more or less been in cryo, awaiting its opportunity to show itself off again. Things are happening, but they are happening very, very, VERY slowly.

Like Linda-058, God willing, Venerance will fully wake up one day soon, and with cool things to show.

In the meantime, it's the waiting game. (One of my least favorite games, believe you me!)

Though, it is not an absolute loss: Tekka-Croe, artist extraordinaire, has finely hand-crafted this depiction of Linda, laid to (temporary) rest by John in her cryopod, awaiting her resuscitation.

Much love to you and yours, my friends, and here's hoping that next year's V-Day can be more akin to the V-Days of yore!
