Yes, it's a real place, and yes, I am definitely taking liberties with the timing and layout, because it's more exciting that way. I'm about to upload a timelapse video of me making this page to Patreon in just a little while, so now's a good time to check it out and perhaps support the comic! There's a couple of little extras there, and if you donate just $3 a month there's a ton of sketches and process/design stuff to flip through.
