Hey everyone! Here are our answers to this week's Q&A. The questions are below, as well as the list of songs we used in the background.

Thanks so much for taking part!

Questions:

• What was the inspiration for Hi Nay? The characters are so rich and fully realized, I’d love to know the origin of the story!
• How do you go about balancing character development/background with the more horror action scenes? Is there a reason Murphy is one of the last main characters to have his backstory explored?
• Also silly question what are the main characters favorite/go to breakfast foods?
• What was your favorite episode to write and/or record?
• We talk a lot about "Who is the Benefactor?" but I want to know "Why is the Benefactor?" Why is he trying to amass power? Why does he hide his identity? What is his end goal?
• Can we get more from the cannibal Elder? I support women's rights and women's wrongs.
• (Act 2 spoilers, suicide mention cw) I have some questions about Drosselmeyer for the Q&A: What were their true feelings for Petja? Why didn't they create a clockwork doll body for themselves like they did for Lori, or kill the Elders with the spell they used to destroy their brain? Why wasn't their body found with Lori's in the Gargantua?
• (Act 2 spoiler) The river, the in-between place where Mari traps Lori, do you imagine it looking like any particular location in the Philippines?
• If I were to introduce someone to this podcast and that someone has only ever listened to the Magnus archives, what could I say to convince them to listen in?

Songs (all by Bessie Smith):

• Down Hearted Blues
• I Ain't Got Nobody
• Thinking Blues
• Dyin By The Hour
• Baby Doll
• I'd Rather Be Dead And Buried In My Grave
• Devil's Gonna Git You
