Copper wiring runs across Akuparamon's body and armor, connecting the individual pieces. He also wears a bright blue scarf around his neck. Akuparamon looks like a fierce fighter.

Her red dress is now red pleated overalls with two belts at the waist and a cap-sleeved white tee underneath. The tee is zippered with an eye-shaped zipper at the neck. She wears knee-high white socks and black buckled loafers. She has buckles around her wrists as bracelets. In her left hand is a red clutch with an eye clasp.

Psst... Hey! We're having a party! Don't tell, okay? (new episode on the first)

Hand-made birthday party invitation from Binary Break. A pink piece of stationery with gilt borders reads "Faux Paw" in cursive. The invitation is drawn with markers and crayons by Olliemon -- it's a little childish, but clearly well-meaning. The word "BIRTHDAY" is crossed out because birthdays are banned at Faux Paw, of course. It reads, "Let's Celebrate Jordie! In the green room! It is a secret! in 15 minutes!" Below that are drawings of Olliemon, Jordie, a present, and a 15th birthday cake. There is also an acrostic poem: "Just 2 cool, Oh how cool, Ride skateboard, Does a great job, I love you jordie, Everybody thinks u r great." It's cute, but in a way that is tragic.

Dear Jordie, Did you know there's a new episode on the first? Wish you were here! (drawn by @planxty.bsky.social , from an historic Columbus, IN postcard)

Postcard for Outdiana, from Binary Break. The card is designed from a real postcard for Columbus, Indiana with a bright orange background. The text reads "Greetings from OUTDIANA. You love it here." The "Outdiana" is made of large, stylized letters featuring a different scene from, presumably, Outdiana. From left to right, they depict a cop car on the red bridge, corn, a highway, a cave full of glowing mushrooms, a house on fire, a field of Renn Faire tents, a purple version of the Larg Arch, and the front window of Viewpoint Books. It's very colorful and bright, but maybe a little uncanny and ominous?

Reverse side of postcard. The letter is written with a dry, green marker and reads, "Hello Jordie, Wish you were here." The letter also has several doodles of stars, hearts, and butterflies. It is addressed to, "Jordan Battle. Panorama Heights, Digiworld, 2004." The stamp is rainbow-colored with a white bird and reads "Binary Brands." The postmark is "Outdiana, Outdiana. Aug 6, 1997." Seems like a nice and perfectly normal postcard. I hope Jordie likes it!
