Challenge #04585-L201: Littlest Hero

An artist asks Wraithvine and Birbid if they can paint their portraits. They also want to do a special one of the fluffy Lilbit, the immortal cat. After all, they brought the cat that killed the rats that were causing such havoc in the fields. -- Anon Guest

It's not that often that cats become heroes. Even then, it's usually the associated person who gets the acclaim.

In this case, Lilbit came over with a rare version of zoomies and almost eliminated a plague of mice in the fields of Ylseium. Which may or may not have been related to the local trickster putting speed potion in her cream. The aptly-named Mischief refused to own up about that.

Since the crisis was at least ended, the hero was due a reward. Besides some unadulterated cream and some fish fresh from the river. The artist Malusarim set up her easels and canvas and begged permission. "May I immortalise the hero of the day? I'll throw in portraits of each of you. Something to treasure, perhaps?"

Sunday, Thinking About Nightmares

I finally had a decent idea for the prompt-after-next-prompt, "Nightmares For Sale". So I'm working on that whilst doing my daily offerings.

I should have recorded yesterday so I could edit today and post tomorrow. Nevermind. I shall record today and hope for the best.

After the Archive is done with reading stories from the group.

Looks like I made bread just in time. I'll have to advance the schedule a little bit. Thursday seems decent enough to start.

I shall see,

Challenge #04584-L200: Never Lie to Dragons

They had been rescued from a rich family that had kept them prisoner due to both their immense healing gift, and their emerald eyes, and gemstone horn and hooves. The dragon guised as a gnome knew what it was like to be so imprisoned and treated. And that experience helped them aid the distraught being. -- Anon Guest

Jade had been kept in the Gilded Palace since she hatched. She might have been there before she hatched, but there was no proof.

Saturday, Bread Day

I got a loaf in the incubator, I got a whole bunch of nonsense going on. I gotta put bread in the ovens1 at about the same time I gotta ice my ankle. Fun times.

I will be enlisting whomsoever happens to be convenient to assist with that level of nonsense.

I have my offerings to make as well as bread to bake. And I will find a way to juggle that and the damn ankle. And I will be very

Challenge #04583-L199: One Small Freedom

Writing is one of the best ways to heal a broken heart. Especially when finally allowing someone to see the break, and that someone holds you close and says "It's ok, we can rebuild together" and mean it. -- Anon Guest

[AN: The urge to write Murderbot is fucking strong with this one]

Sweet merciful Powers, this Deregger conglomerate had gone too far. They had achieved almost godlike prowess with their technology, to the point of making cyborg servants for every need

Friday, Physio Day

My ankle is not letting me walk very much, very far today. To add to the fun, we need to make bread. Gonna need lots of help from the spawn today.

I'm not setting up my daily doses until after I'm back from the physio. That nonsense takes a LOT more time than the time I have before I take off for the physio.

So I shall be focussing on other offerings before I get back from the jackhammering.

I need every

Challenge #04582-L198: The Nature of Miracles

Priest Robert has found his salvation in the Church and now blesses old pagan shrines into the light of the true faith. Until one day, an innocent is chased by a beast into an abandoned temple, and all of his prayers and symbols fail. All except the icon of a heathen god he ought to think a wicked demon and a little rhyme his mother uttered while tucking him to bed. -- Anon Guest

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not

Thursday, Shopping Day and Physio Tomorrow

We need eggs. We need a few other things... but not so much as last week. I'm going to have to rouse Chaos because Mayhem doesn't want to be involved. But I still need help to get stuff so... whatevs.

Miss Chaos has to learn to do stuff and be reliable and this is a perfect window of opportunity for that.

It might be a pain in both our arses, but she really needs to learn. Our girl can't coast for the

Challenge #04581-L197: Attitudes Adjusted While You Wait

Wraithvine {who may or may not have a companion} has found Hirself contractually obligated with escorting a truly wretched individual to safety. A Lordling who pisses on the common folk, believes himself superior, and is guilty of a few actual crimes no one dares arrest him for.

No locals, anyway, and while Wraithvine needs to bring the Lordling to a certain location…there’s nothing that says the journey must end there. Why not continue on to a jurisdiction where the Lordling

Wednesday, Rant Due and Video Things

I figure that, if I edit on the days between posting day, then I have extra time windows to manage that thing. So I'm recording a thing today and wrangling stuff tomorrow so I can post on Friday.

I'm also doing a thing on my rant blog and I think I shall rave and recommend (surprising nobody) K-Pop Demon Hunters. I have a lot of love to share about it. And some words to spend on the best character in the whole

Challenge #04580-L196: The Best Kingdom in the World

Kind and wise and magnanimous King Nydon's daughter has run off with a bard. Obviously she was tricked, as his castle is a happy place.

“Wraithvine is the name? Yes, you’ll do. Take along anyone you need. Here’s the princess's picture. Ignore any of her pleas, they’ll be the man’s magic. Just drop her off with the gate guards when you bring her back…” -- Anon Guest

Something was rotten in the nation of Bevuran. The key was

Tuesday, Patreon and Extra Owwies

Yesterday, I could barely walk because of the ankle. My opposite knee doesn't like supporting the extra weight, so I've been wearing a knee brace there for at least four days.

After yesterday, my achey shoulders have been worse because supporting my weight with the cane has set the knots there into a worse tangle.

As I said to MeMum, I need a big burly bloke to wring the knots out of my shoulders with a bucket of Deep Heat.

I have

Challenge #04579-L195: Devoured Conflict

After having too many “brownies” Edward and flora stare at the starry sky above. “Hey Flo, if a vampire drink a fae’s blood, would the fae becomes it thrall? Or the vampire becomes the fae servant due to having fae food without permission?” Flora gaze at her undead friend. “That’s kinky… and how my parents got married…” -- Anon Guest

Monday, Owwies

As I type, I now have bracers on three of my joints. One on the ankle, one on my opposite knee, and one on my right hand. My left wrist is threatening to act up as well.

Mayhem can't go to work because the family resposible for taking him on the last leg have the dreaded Rona. Prayers for wellbeing appreciated

Today, walking is painful. I'm getting Chaos to help gather my daily doses.

This might be painful.

Challenge #04578-L194: When Prey Turns Around

The body lays beaten and bloody on the floor. They were breathing, they would not be killed, but they'd had plenty of chances to back out.

"I have to bring you in alive. I even offered you the chance to come peacefully. Why do you guys always insist on doing things the hard way? You want to kill, fine, but missiles like you need to be launched at the proper targets." -- Anon Guest

[AN: Offensensitivity warning for the perspective of a
