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 rare that someone takes their complaint to the management. In the fifth year of the drought that blighted the Rivers Kingdom[1], someone decided to do something about it.

Warlord Lulgevod charged into the largest temple of Intra, god of the sea and storms. Ze charged in on hir battle-trained warhorse, which was why none barred hir path.

"Tell Intra to make it rain in three days, or he will come to regret it."

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

Saturday, Moving Slowly Onwards

So far, I have my Coinjar recaptured. I'm mid-process on re-invigorating my Binance. Then I untangle my wallet, and moneys can commence to flow.

I have some reserves in the Coinjar that I pln to transfer on Monday. So it looks a little more wage like. I'm calling it "Author dividends" since it is the fruit of my literary labors.

One unfuckening at a time.

I shall get things in gear all whilst waiting for the turnaround dates, or whatever the fuck

Challenge #04800-M051: Paradise is Imperfect

Dragons, Elves, Teufel, Halloblood, Humans, Kobolds, etc, all were welcome at this beautiful spa. Massages, haircuts, scrubbings to help the scales, manicures pedicures, the works. A plaque by the door, both in images and multiple languages read "Long hair trimmings will be made into wigs for those in need, short hair to bundles for bird to make nests. Scales, claws, and nails shed or trimmed shall be ground into fine powder, and mixed into the soil helping the free garden to grow

Friday, I'm an idiot

I just this morning remembered that I can chain some income into our bank account and at least survive the autopayments for the insurance.

I just need to:

  • Restart my Binance account
  • Restart my Trello wallet
  • Restart my Coinjar account
  • Connect said account to my bank

It might take a few business days to get a flow going, but at least there will BE a flow.

...and I'll have to document everything for Mr Taxman.

Bleh.

I won't be trading in Bitcoin

Challenge #04799-M050: It's a Start

I've killed so many. Teufel, Kobolds, Vampires, ... so many. Even a dragon. Yet, you... you let me live. But more important, you saved my family. I was taught to hate you, fear you.... never even tried to understand. Ye gods... what have I done? Even if I lived a thousand years.... I don't think I could ever atone for it all. -- Anon Guest

There's only so many careers that are obviously predestined when given the name Guy Stronginthearm. One was becoming

Thursday, Lent Initiated

People are giving up things for lent. People are trying to begin new habits. I'm one of the latter.

I have been neglecting my emotional and physical needs in favour of getting Output.

So this lent, I'm trying to look after myself. As gingerly as possible to start with because of the aforementioned financial embuggerance.

So that means taking time to chill in the evenings. A little gaming. A little television. Just... time to enjoy something for myself.

Today used to be

Challenge #04798-M049: Using All Avenues

Another died of the 'plague' that leaves the body rake thin. Always recorded as an illness. The red king, the tax-collectors told them, demanded this tribute. She fled to stop the plague, stop the red king, if the lord wouldn't do it, she would.

Famines were generally the product of administrative mismanagement. It was very rare for a famine to be the direct result of consecutive disasters. The lands of the Red King
