Welcome to the next chapter!

Chet Harper was originally created by me... but he got eventually named by Jay042!

Ah yes, how "live" is it really, if you hide behind an avatar?

Or.. how alive...

I'm working with a buffer, and planned to do this chapter for quite while - the fact that it happened to start in just the week when that whole Musk & Twitter thing was going down is honestly just a complete coincidence!

You mean the Hase Automobiles logo?

I found it funny to name a car company after an animal ("Hase" = ""hare" in German) that is known for being fast... but is also associated with cowardice!

Ooooh, now I get what you mean!

While, as far as I recall, I didn't primarily think of Mr. Sparkle (rather more along the lines e.g. of .GIFfany, or the concept of VTubers), since I did know about him, I also can't exclude with 100 % certainty that his design might have had an influence after all...
