Author's notes: So this is pretty much the style I'm going for here. Everything will be told solely through dialogue and Connor's proccesses. It's kinda weird of me not to use descriptive text, like I'm comitting some kind of writing fopaux, but its a fun challenge. I'm also realising that this mean these come out quite short, but maybe that'll change as I get more into this odd style.
