I mean, we&#8217;re going to reach the finish line at the same time, regardless of what I do first. But on the other hand I know that I need to start posting the <em>Clockwork Book<\/em> stories as soon as possible and all this character setup (a lot of which is for the <em>other<\/em> story, Part Two of <em>The Toaster With TWO BRAINS<\/em>) isn&#8217;t helping me to start posting those any earlier.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">But I do hate to break my streak.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">If I could just build &#8217;em, I&#8217;d be pretty happy. But I have to skin the characters to their skeletons and that, as I think I&#8217;ve mentioned, is a task that I really don&#8217;t enjoy. Probably because I&#8217;m not that good at it.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Along the way I&#8217;ve worked out a completely different way to skin their faces. It&#8217;s a little wonky, but it&#8217;s giving me much better results. So I also know that at some point I need to go back to my recurring characters and reskin their faces the new way. Oh joy.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">I think what I need is servants. Though I just got a little nervous when I remembered that there&#8217;s a name for servants that you don&#8217;t need to pay. Oops. Okay, what I need is a <em>Faithful Robot Character Setter Upper<\/em>, or, as I have just decided we ought to say it, an FRCSU.
