realizing that my timeline is going to require a broad character arc be squashed down into a 2-month period, so i'm instead squashing other parts of the arc chronologically
this is the benefit to keeping my dates vague: i can scoot 'em around as-needed!
...at least until the rest of the MFBC catches up ;P
so, successfully done so; pre-Korpsmas, the latest Ellen story now takes place in July rather than October! lots more time for a more natural progression :D
