Challenge #04870-M121: The Right Fulcrum

"You can have money or you can have Justice." - Which do you choose? -- Prompey

[AN: Very sorely tempted to do so many Leverage riffs]

The right to reign is often accepted to mean: anyone who reigns has all the rights. And when anyone is both rich and powerful, they can take what they want and make consequences happen to others. Naturally, the people on the wrong end of that exchange tend to get irritated by that attitude.

So rebellions rise in odd corners.

Five rogues gathered in an undisclosed location, each with their particular area of expertise. They didn't dress like rogues, which was the point. If anyone in authority found them, that authority would mistake them for Adventurers up to some nonsense.

Challenge #04869-M120: Medically Necessary Dangerous Friend

I have the rare type - O negative blood, a universal donor. I'm also scared of needles. My kind, at least to me, pax humanis friend helps me with this anxiety so I can donate and save lives. --Anon Guest

Medical practice always needs blood. At least, it does in this particular neighbourhood of the Edge Territories. I heard from some traders that the Alliance can just make whatever blood they want. There's like special cloned bone marrow units that do it.

Thursday, Freedom?

Well, kind'a sorta. The blockage is clear enough for the sinks to drain, though there's still bubbling coming up. I'm running sinks full of hot water down that thing on the daily in an effort to sluice any remaining blockage away.

Next sinkload is going to have some dish soap added just before I pull the plugs. Perhaps it can loosen a little more blockage.

Tried to get hold of the sleep study people. I even waited until the text said the

Challenge #04868-M119: Tested Not in Vein

Legend holds of a harsh God, who’s marked have the blood drained from their bodies until expiring, this life force fueling the God’s power. The God has no use for the souls of those who are not devotees. So what happens when Elizabeth is dragged into the body of a ghoulish divine and accidentally invokes the right rite to bind her soul to her blood and become a simple blood cell inside the sepulcher halls of Godly flesh? -- Deathshead419

Wednesday, Mor Shenanigans

Well, we managed to fix the toilet for slightly less than forty dollarydoos. Meanwhile, the hose, connectors, and bits to fix the kitchen sink are up to roughly two hundred dollarydoos even though we have to go back for a couple more parts.

It shouldn't cost more than twenty extra bucks and my own brief humilliation.

Note for future beans: Measure always. Don't assume that everything's standard and will automagically fit.

I have already mocked myself to the Promptcast crew, so take

Challenge #04867-M118: The Seeds of Ghosts

Deep in the boggy fen country, a village where cremation is customary is haunted by specters of the burned dead. These ghosts encroach closer and closer to the realm of the living with each passing night. The Elders send a letter, pleading with Wraithvine for aid against their supernatural tormentors.

Wraithvine sets out sure that this is caused by some readily explainable phenomenon, either by man-made hoax or mundane magic or perhaps a scorned local God. The Truth is far stranger than

Challenge #04866-M117: Dredging Up Blessings

Eons ago, a temple with ten divine statues sank into the sea and then were pulled into the mantle of the planet itself. Now they have come to life, trapped below the crust of the world. Only Nalani and Vykoria can plunge down a lava plume and guide these divines into the light, though a path no human has ever walked will be treacherous and full of dangers unknown to mankind.

Sequel to: https://peakd.com/fiction/@internutter/challenge-04849-m100-stolen-mercy -- Deathshead419

Monday, Quack Visit and Public Holiday

It's a public holiday, so most of my PLNs are up in the air. Gotta see the quack about getting a sleep study done so that promises to be fun. Of a sort.

All to find out if I'm getting enough oxygen while I sleep.

I'm pretty sure I am getting enough oxygen, but eliminating the causes for the issue is what we're trying to do here.

In an hour and change, I shall be taking off to the doctor to deliver

Challenge #04865-M116: End an Angry God

An ancient inscription upon a Stele has brought Wraithvine to another monument upon the shores of a primordial lake. Here ze finds an aged icon of a long forgotten god and the pronouncement upon his pedestal which has waited all this time… -- Deathshead419

Wraithvine should have become used to finding quests in museums. People left messages for hir to unriddle long-term problems, or seers put things in hir way. Ze could never tell. Either way, they were very good at leading

Sunday, Stream Shenanigans

The Promptcast will be on air shortly, I'm baking the last of my bread in the midst.

The story shall happen sometime after that, but I have written a farewell to the Archive that I'll air in the next backup read.

I fully expect to get kicked off the server.

It'll hurt, but that's what clean breaks do.

And that's only slightly better than watching the Archive die of self-made starvation in the middle of a metaphorical food warehouse.

Or a slow

Challenge #04864-M115: Always Welcome

Dex was taking a vacation from the palace with his family. Unfortunately, it becomes quite stormy. But, fortunately, his parents' place wasn't far, and it'd been quite a while since they'd visited the farm. -- Anon Guest

They had been on their way to Waelrin's capital and castle when the threatening storm started to beat their carriage around. The good news, for King Kormwind Arachis Felbourne Whitekeep, tenth of his name (Dex to his friends), was that they were close to Dromlynne.

Saturday, I Need Stuff

Good news: I can potentially fix my plumbing issues myself.
Bad news: I need to get more shit from Bunnings.

With "on top of the groceries" added, I'm looking at a tight week.

Draft2Digital, in their infinite wisdom, have chosen to add fees and charges to their services. So I shall be migrating all my nonsense to Barnes and Noble self-publishing services. As soon as I figure out how to do that.

It's looking like that's my only option to sell my

Challenge #04863 -M114: Love of Perfection

A skilled Sculptor has created a beauteous statue of a woman. It is so beauteous that the sculptor has fallen in love with her. And so the Sculptor implores the Gods to bring her to life so that she might become the Sculptor’s wife. Boons from the Gods always come with a price, especially ones reflecting love. And it may be that the Beauteous woman will wish to sculpt the Sculptor into her vision of an ideally aesthetic form… -- Deathshead419
