Intrapology is an episodic queer sci-fi story, performed entirely through a series of video calls, about alien anthropologists from the Transdimensional Research Institute. Soft Chaos supported this production through a series of worldbuilding workshops, where we explored the idea of incompatible worldviews literally causing the universe to fragment, and how this story's characters are in turn affected by fragmentation. Squinky also plays the role of Paris in the series, and co-wrote Episode 4: You're So Jealous I Bet You Think This Episode Excludes You.

Additionally, Squinky is the primary developer of Intrinsink, an open source interactive theatre platform that allows authors to use the Ink narrative scripting language and a few other special features to create a nice web interface for audience members to participate in online or hybrid performances in real time. (Jess was the one who came up with the name "Intrinsink", in case you were wondering!)
