I kinda sorta promised the Tokyo Candoll winner, and I am a Maniac of my word if nothing else, so:

This has previously been discussed in the context of Necronomidol making a pitch for support, but Pascal on Facebook re-alerted me to Tokyo Candoll and put together for me why a bunch of groups were suddenly tweeting about it.

Here’s Pascal’s message:
