Trivia

 * Dori Oxford, huh? How fitting.
 * Originally, Miles wasn't going to be in this story at all. Either Philippa or Eldric would have taken his place, naturally being more bitter about their rejection from officiality. Miles was just used because she needed someone completely blasé about it.
 * On the topic of Eldric, Lysander spouts a few things about him (i.e. he's a scardey-cat trying to be creepy and was forgotten by Pitch) that would have been part of his actual character, if he became official.
 * Yes, that's an approximation of my bedroom. Yes, that's an accurate Qubo show schedule. And yes, my mom's laptop has been named, and is frequently called, Timmy by the both of us.
 * All those titles, like the ones spouted in Every Puzzle Has an Answer, are actual General Hilarity possible story titles.
 * The Neko Zombie -ness of Gonedir was intentional on my part when I realized my headcanon design for her looked sort of like the cat. Note the slight verbal tic of 'yes', which Neko Zombie has in the game Gregory Horror Show: Soul Collector.
 * Also, yes, Gonedir's crush on Lilith is an actual thing. It's part of General Hilarity canon.
 * None of the backgrounders featured in this story do I intend on making official. Suckers! Sorry, that was harsh.
 * Standing by the Monorail was released on April fifteenth of the last year. Meaning, officially, the General Hilarity hiatus lasted nine months. Criminy. I'll try to put out new (and better) stories more often.
