Joshua, I'm interested in what you think of the Substack app? Do you read from a desktop, a phone,...in fact, are you even using the app?

I'm trying to use the tools available to make the reading experience as good as possible.

I am using the app on my phone. The user interface is easy to learn and it runs really smooth. So far I'm really impressed by the way it is set up and functions.

Have I ever mentioned how much I like Dax as a character?

His ability to teleport and how he uses it in combat and other encounters is just such a cool way to set a character apart.

And combine that with a deep gruff voice and a “I don’t care how big you are being kicked in the nuts still hurts attitude.” It just makes a really good supporting character.

All I do is make the universe I navigate in a little smaller.

...because being kicked in the nuts hurts, reGARDless of size.

...it brings you DOWN is size.

...to MY size.

...then we have a personal discussion about why you're being a nit.

...and what we [meaning 'I'] can DO about it.

You're a perfect example of 'be you', Dax.

He's always been one of my favorites.

The no-holds-barred, I'll do whatever I have to do to get the job done attitude was always refreshing to me. How he takes all his personal pain and anger and pours it into his loyalty and service towards the people he cares about?

Something I can relate to at time.

I'm very excited to show his personality more fully through Wendell's perspective.

This is my first exposure to Dax and I love him! Blue liquid in a vial... Was that... Ewww?

Juice, kiddo. Just something to give me enough strength to port back home.

Consider it a magical version of a power-bar.

....or closer to a factory of power-bars...crammed into a vial.

Ok. So it has nothing to do with the vial of very expensive blue liquid in Blood sticks... Good.

Gotta excuse my Uncle Dax -- he doesn't usually consider the medicinal aspects of Apothecary.

You lost me at "urine", Höbin.

You're all being a bit sensitive and childish.

...not that I'm agreeing with stomaching urine for ANY reason. But there are many powerful magical applications that dragon can be used for.

You know what? Maybe this would be a good subject for tomorrows article.

Magic utilizing dragon urine.

Gosh, I love Dax. He seems like the type of character who would crash your party, eat all the snacks, and somehow leave you thankful for the chaos. Do you think you'd have the courage to invite Dax to your next BBQ, or would you fear ending up on the menu, albeit as a non-cannibalistic choice?
