Challenge #04808-M059: Subject Zero

Dragon's blood is powerful, but, is said to carry a terrible curse. When the need is great, a warrior drinks the blood of a dragon for strength. -- Deathshead419

Dragons are powerful. They're a fact as large as mountains, as devastating as tidal waves, and as hazardous as living itself[1]. Thus it was no shock that lesser species required a large amount of dragon parts to make their magic.

They were warned. Take only that which was discarded, or given freely. Take it by force or steal it, and a terrible curse would follow.

Ymyr the Reaper knew the warning. Like most Elves making their place in the world, he had heard it all. Unlike most of his kind, he suspected it was a ploy to prevent Elves from gaining Draconic power. Once they were all equal, then the Dragons would stop being such arrogant pricks and acting like the world was made solely for them.

Saturday, Pitched Again

B'nar's been cast aside by one, so I've flinged it at another. Yay.

I got my humidifier, and Learned Something last night. Turns out I get cloggy in the bronchi during high humidity. And I somehow need more hydration in my atmosphere to ameliorate that shit.

Don't ask me, I just live here.

Anyway, my humidifier is smart enough to not add to the vapours in the air after it gets to 99% and that didn't effect my sleep, thank grop.

Was

Challenge #04807-M058: Closed Temporal Loop

In the early morning of April 15, 1912, the RMS Titanic sank beneath the waves, carrying 1,500 souls to a cold, watery grave. The story told to history is that she sank after hitting an ice berg. The truth could never be allowed to get out… -- Deathshead419

1912...

Nobody would believe the truth, not all of it. They barely believed that the Titanic sank until they saw the survivors and the remaining lifeboats. So many were lost. So much was

Friday, Sneezin' and Wheezin' Season Mitigation

I have been having a couple of severely Bad Air Days. Frequently on Max(the nebuliser), dizzy because air problems and so on. Easily solved by the stupidest mitigation ever - a fucking humidifier.

So now my PLNs include getting a big one for the bedroom since the little desktop one doesn't do so well at keeping my breathing easy.

My PLNs now include going outside, going place, and getting thing. Bleh.

Meanwhile, this morning, the rain has been landing on us

Challenge #04806-M057: Talking to Faeries

Ragvald was once a great warrior, known for his berserker trances brought on by imbibing the sacred mushroom. But now he struggles to discern what is real and what are visions the mushrooms bring. -- Deathshead419

In the frozen Northlands, the Berserkr gained heavy respect in battle. Mostly due to their ability to literally tear apart the enemy. Or anyone who got in their way, for that matter. When they're foaming at the mouth and have run out of enemies, they have

Thursday, Cash Floweth at Last

We has money. They pay schedule has changed, but we has money. Huzzah.

I shall be treating everything very carefully for a while. Until it's stable.

Softly and cautiously for quite some time.

Things should be much better by the new fiscal year. But until then... head down, bum up, and gentle with the moolah.

Today, I have PLNs to record some chapters for Adorable. Or at least the audio archives. Alongside the usual offerings, of course. And make the bread.

Onwards,

Challenge #04805-M056: (Thunder) Roll Intimidation

A crazed warlord demands at a temple that God produce rain for a drought wracked region in three days or they’ll be consequences. When the time comes and goes, the warlord sets up an artillery battery around the temple and fires on the heavens above. The next day it begins to rain. If it’s stupid and it works… -- Deathshead419

While it is well known that the gods are in charge of things that mortals can't control, it is supremely

Wednesday, Weekly Thing and Medical Intervention

My prescription for the preventer has expired, and I need more preventer. So today includes a visit to the medicos and a subsequent visit to a pharmacy.

It's going to get EXPENSIVE. And it's already been expensive, this week. I needed to stock up.

Keeping track of it all might break my heart, give me headaches, and so on... but it will also help me understand where or when I have economy issues.

Figuring out a decent strategy is key. At least

Challenge #04804-M055: Seeds of Hope

They were wandering adventurers, lost, hungry, most of their equipment wrecked. A poor family that had little took them in and shared what meager rations they had. None got 'quite enough', but no one went to bed completely hungry. The adventurers arrived as an escort to their leader, a king. He helped the poor family get back on their feet again, not through lavish wealth, but humbler gifts of food, aid to fix their home, and seed that would actually grow in

Tuesday, Patreon, Supplies, and Cash Flow

I haven't heard anything else from the chief breadwinner. Any longer and I might just encourage her to get lawyers on her side.

HOWEVER...

  • I am earning HIVE through Peakd
  • I can export those to Binance and convert that to Bitcoin
  • Which I can then stow in my e-Wallet
  • And then fling to my CoinJar
  • So I can trade it for cash
  • Which then goes to my bank account

So I can at least cover the autobills and therefore have room to

Challenge #04803-M054: Gone Without a Trace

The intrepid, some would say mad, explorer Arthur Christianson ventured alone into the Antarctic wastes, convinced that he had found Atlantis and the secret of all human civilization. His badly damaged campsite was discovered two years later, though his body was never recovered. Below is the contents of his final journal entry, retrieved from the site: -- Deathshead419

[AN: I try not to have real people in these stories, and there is a person by that name in Linkedin, so the name

Monday, Backup Reads and PLNs

The Archive is chatting and reading. I've re-pitched Beauties to another potential agent and cleared my potentials list of people who are closed to queries.

Yay.

I also have information that should get me going on Binance again. I'll just be buying Bitcoin for transfer.

...once I have my wallet account revived, that is.

That's trouble for another day.

Thanks to Coinjar, I now have enough money in the bank to pay for the autobills, and maybe enough of a time window

Challenge #04802-M053: Define Normal

Amy haven’t made a milkshake in a while, so she started gathering fresh ingredients her favourite strawberry-banana milkshake. Her mouth waters as she fill the blender, But something lingers in the back of her mind something she’s forgetting… suddenly her neighbour knock on her door. “Amy! The boys are back in town!” But it was too late the blender just started whirling -- Anon Guest

The return to normal had been irrevocably altered. They pretended everything was normal after the

Sunday, Stream Shenanigans and REJECTION

Bad news: Beauties has been rejected. Good news: There's four other agents, minimum, to throw it at. I need income damnit.

I know Stephen King played at getting new wallpaper with rejection letters, but he had a support system and could afford to do that shit. My network is a not-work.

I need money. Flowing IN my direction, thanks.

I'll be chatting about that when/if I get exhausted from throwing Beauties at people. Adapting gets five tries, end of. I'm tired

Challenge #04801-M052: Good Kitty

The human's cat was normally very gentle with the avian crew. Never attacking, sometimes batting at feathers, but only the ones that were already shed and dropped to the floor. So the hissing and growling, keeping them away from the cargo hold's door was shocking. Fortunately, because the cargo hold's main door was tightly closed, that also meant NO ONE was in there when the faulty hatch blew, and the hold suddenly depressurized. Keeping the human, the crew, AND the cat quite
