Welcome to November's Bonus Episode! Thanks to the generous support of our Patrons, we'll be making one-off bonus episodes like this one every month. For more information, check out
our Patreon!
In this month's Bonus Episode, we discuss the carnal predilections of our favorite characters: what they might already have done, what they might be doing, what they might want to do, and - most importantly - who they might want to do it with. Some of our theories make sense. Some of them don't.
