Drawn from the Undertow

We've reached the end of yet another long and winding road! The cast of Eidolon DISCO sits down one last time to reflect on the last two years of the show and to answer your questions!

I was sitting and waiting
Just thinking, contemplating
My life when I heard the phone
I picked up the receiver
And I did not believe her
When I heard a voice say you're not alone

When I am down and I am blue
All I have to do
Is close my eyes and think of you
And the world is new

Oh, life was getting hectic
And things were unexpected
When I first received your call
But now it is the best thing
That filled up what was missing
And now my life is envied by all

When I am down and I am blue
All I have to do
Is close my eyes and think of you
And the world is new

SEASON 3 EDITING BY LUKE VARNER, MOLLY RHINEBECK, MIKE PAINTER, CRYSTAL ZASLAVCHIK, AND IRIS CHRISTIANSON

BASED ON EIDOLON: BECOME YOUR BEST SELF, SECOND EDITION, BY LUKE VARNER AND MOLLY RHINEBECK

AND THUS, THE FINAL PAGE OF EIDOLON DISCO/EIDOLON SKA HAS BEEN REACHED. THE BOOK HAS NOT BEEN CLOSED, FOR IT HAS NO BACK COVER. WORDS AND SENTENCES, INK AND WOOD PULP, SPIRAL ON INTO INFINITY, STRETCHING EVER FURTHER INTO THE DARKNESS, OBTAINING MEANING THROUGH CONTRAST AGAINST THE ENDLESS VOID, WHICH CANNOT FOR ALL ITS OPPRESSIVE DARK AND COLD ENCROACH UPON THE LIGHT OF OUR CAMPFIRE WE SIT AROUND TO TELL THE STORIES OF OUR LIVES.

THE ENDLESS WORDS THAT EXTEND BEYOND THE END OF THIS BOOK ARE NOT, HOWEVER, FOR US TO READ. INSTEAD, A NEW NARRATIVE EMERGES FROM THE VOID...

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry... but now I hold my head up high!

And you see me
Somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like droppin' in and just expect me to be free?
Well now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me!

Go on now, go!
Walk out the door
Just turn around now, 'cause you're not welcome anymore!
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with "Goodbye?"
Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die!?

Oh no, not I!
I will survive!
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive!
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give,
And I'll survive!
I WILL SURVIVE!

Dang, two design sessions in two weeks!

For December, we're just here to fill in a few gaps we had left to get Worst Self ready for its first trial run! We just have to come up with some resonant and dissonant effects and one or two more Moves, and yet somehow it took us over an hour!

Extremely minor spoilers for the early chapters of Wind and Truth, the newest Stormlight Archives book. Almost certainly not something you'd care about unless you're an extreme die-hard, and if you are I gotta believe you've already read the preview chapters!
