Well you see , a couple centuries ago heaven was as dry as a bone.

But the lack of alcohol lead to everyone jumping ship.


    BACKGROUND28 (talk_sad)
It was practically a ghost town.


    BACKGROUND28 (talk_happy_smile)
So, in order to meet their quota they made alcohol legal and set up bars all over the sky.

That makes sense....I guess?

Set the opacity to 1 instead of 0

but I want my overlay to show up here:

@remove Red Cup from JANE

and I can’t switch it to opacity 1 twice

Try putting &overlay RED CUP opacity 1 in 0 before the shifting commands

It still doesn’t show up

add @overlay RED CUP create
before @overlay RED CUP opacity 0
