Hey! 

First off loved the post, and the boss is so good!
Loved everything about it! Especially the over the top-ishness of the boss and his appearance. It was visceral, the whole thing was super well written!

I have entered kind of a lull with work until summer, so things are pretty good! Thinking about trying to find a different job, but that is really neither here or there!

Maybe our characters are watching the recap together? They just so happen to be broken up into their bonds, it gives them a chance to really interact together? Since they are probably all gonna sleep after.

I think we could do a mix of "successful" crawlers, and "interesting" deaths... maybe to really dial up the gameshow vibes... it's presented in a "America's funniest home videos" style show?

Write a few crawlers who killed a boss, write a few who died in odd or theatrical ways, write a few "crawlers to keep your eyes on"? Then have the same host character do a bit on how the soul bound works, by showing a few crawler's whose partner kicked the bucket at awkward times?
