The Chaos Protocol | Arc Two | E3: her ribs spell out

Fate holds court. Xainan is haunted by a cherry blossom. Lumièra runs into her first girlfriend. Seir forgets and is forgotten. And Strike Team Nova reunites for the first time in two months.

Content warnings: death of loved ones and family, grief, trauma, food, eating, complex and complicated relationships, and references to alcohol, malnourishment, fitness, body image, and existentialism.

THE CHAOS PROTOCOL is Transplanar RPG's current main campaign that stars Valiant Dorian, Samm Star, and Cai K. as the players with Sea Thomas as the producer and Connie Chang as the Game Master. This podcast episode is edited by Marisa Ewing. Our original intro music is by Jonathan Charles.
