That new noodle shop next to Cleo’s/ the Ninth Avenue Saloon has closed almost as soon as they opened. They took over from another place and poof new name new menu.
This is 9th just south of 46th. There was a couple behind me (you can see them in reflection) who had wanted to get lunch there, but were seeing the “Closed by health department“ sign for the first time. They were also selling “Paper Steak”.

»Since words exist and are in a sense agents in themselves which establish connexions and relations between both man and man, and man and the world, and are capable of 'acting' upon them, they are one of the most realistic representations we have of the concept of force which is either not directly observable or is a metaphysical notion which we find necessary to use«

Studying Crystal Castle in the magic library

And this is my pixel art based on Paladins Quest (SNES). We've settled into the magic library. Studying magical books. And studying a certain strange object. What is known about Crystal Castle? Everyone is searching for magic and information about the castle. Friends are already rummaging through books. And you're not far behind

Pickle oversees quality assurance processes as I begin work on a new wand. Approximately 1pickle long, this wand recalls the virtue of small steps, however long one's legs.
