Kio & Maxi's Adventures in Everything

Yulia’s Rumour Research #6: “How Goes Polly Prosopo?”

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 07:00:00 +0100

After a spell of unintended disappearance, Yulia has re-emerged somewhere that no-one could see coming… especially someone who should have seen it coming. Polly Prosopo (and their frenemy Edith) encounter our Master Rumour Riddler at the Academy of Future Sight, and we have the recording to prove it. What happens when those who see the truth to come encounter the one who comes to distort the truth…? Something stupid, I’m sure!

Another recording of Yulia's hunt for Kio and Maxi('s made-up origin stories) has been unearthed.
