Lot of dialog. Maybe too much? Let me know.

First up, AI actually managed to create a gorgala with a moderately accurate color scheme to PoH. The red/black two-tone look on the body skin isn't quite right, because it ...

I included 1 pic of Mia if she was 10 years older. That's what I'm calling it, anyway. Some AI models just really don't give a shit about the age I ...
