Challenge #04788-M040: One Kharmic Realignment

You have to either be really lucky, or really, REALLY bad, to have Wraithvine happen to you. In this case, the child was in the bad category. Fortunately, the parents were teachable, and the kid was young. Spoiled, as the single child of wealthy families sometimes are, but still very young. So there was still time to remedy before .... more permanent solutions were considered.

[AN: Also following on from https://peakd.com/fiction/@internutter/challenge-04783-m034-unconsidered-wish ]

Submitted for your inspection, a child who wants to have their way in everything. Spoiled for far too long and given everything he wanted until throwing a tantrum was the easiest way to get anything done. This child tests the patience of even the immortal. It's time and beyond time for a permanent lesson... from the twilight realm.

People tend to forget that Elves are Faekindred. They have been in the world since the reign of Dragons, so they might as well be part of it. Nimnae is about to learn a very interesting lesson.

For a child, Nimnae had an amazing pattern of escalation.

Monday, Mor Streams and Stuff

My left foot fucking hates me. Mayhem and I had PLNs to visit Bunnings and then pick up cordial on the way back. Now he wants to spend his JB HiFi gift cards.

So that's Bunnings for a better plunger [No cheap shit henceforth!] and maybe a broom handle but definitely a tennis ball if we can get it. Then JB for the gift cards, followed by Golden Circle Factory Outlet for necessary flavour. If the trip extends any further, I might

Challenge #04788-M039: Passing Notes

"THERE you are you damn teuf!" The brightly dressed dandy of a young lord stomped over to Kormwind X and his party. Shoving a piece of paper in his hand, the dandy turns to storm off. "Drink with your reprobates later, get those supplies NOW!"

The note read, however, --My father's plotting to kill you, please flee town and stay safe.-- -- Anon Guest

There's fighting words, killing words, and fight-for-your-life words. Of the three 'teuf' is usually a clear signal

Sunday, Stream Stuff and Other Things

The Archive is going. The Promptcast is about to commence. I have starter in the incubator and the kids set for wrangling dough.

I can only hope it all goes well.

I have found a way to supercharge my coffee. The downside being that it should only be taken in the morning.

IDK about making myself iced coffee in the AM but those frozen cubes of coffee are the way to supercharge caffeine.

Might be an idea to stay awake on the

Challenge #04787-M038: Escape From Injustice

When everything goes wrong for our protagonist, he takes to the seas, hoping to find a new life far from home. But no one can ever really flee from one’s past. -- Deathshead419

"Oh lack-a-day lilly, got bit by the filly! The whole world is hating on me. And so I'm running off to sea!" -- Alfarell children's song.

Fairweather knew she had a stowaway. It wasn't as if there were a lot of hiding places on her old tub. Kid

Saturday, PLN? What PLN?

::Jazz hands and singing:: I have no fucking idea what's going on today and that SUUUUUUCKS!!!

(yeah)

Basically hoping to re-engage the plns that fell through last weekend. Not helped by the fact that my lovelies seem to have forgotten entirely what went on last weekend.

...yay.

I've held off on bread so I won't be engaged in making any. I've held off on breakfast in case my lovelies want to take me away to some food.

I am in a holding

Challenge #04786-M037: Aquanomicon

The urge is irresistible, the calling is too strong. No walls of a mental asylum nor any human guards can keep the chosen from the temple and witnessing the glory of the Lord Below…

Friday, cyclical shenanigans

Last weekend, I couldn't do a thing because I was doing bread. Today, we're down to the last loaf of bread and that means I should be working on more bread this weekend. However, the thing still needs doing before it makes a disaster happens so... I'm withholding bread until that shit's done.

All to make sure a certain app keeps working. And thereby my mail app.

My aim today, besides the usual throughput, to complete another

Challenge #04785-M036: The Price of Paradise

A village was once plagued by constant storms, swarms of locusts, and bandits harrying the fringes. Now an idol in the heart of town wards away the old travails, bringing good harvests and peace. All it asks for is the heart of a child once a year… -- Deathshead419

They had taken to sheltering in the caves when the worst of the weather hit. Huddled close to each other with any animals that had also done so. What crops had survived the

Thursday, Gotta Keep Going

It's a trial to pitch a novel with an ensemble cast when the questions centre on a singular main character. I'll have to answer for the main characters each, and tie the main story together there.

That promises to be fun.

Once I figure out that finagling, I should be good for working on the others.

Should.

I'll have a go before creating today's story.

Challenge #04784-M035: The Island of Crabs

Ereshkigal has called Wraithvine to an island deep in the sea where nothing is going on. Inhabited by normal crabs, far from trade winds, no merfolk or shipwrecks in the vicinity, no more than background levels of magic. What is here that the Goddess is so insistent? -- Deathshead419

There's something people do to busy people that starts with, "While you're up," or, "While you're there," that will inevitably irritate the busy people in question. Gods do it too, but only to

Challenge #04783-M034: Unconsidered Wish

Another birthday, another visit from Wraithvine. Nimnae is sick and tired of the lessons, the trickery, of not getting anything out of the wishes. So Nimnae wishes that they would have the means of escaping this year no matter the cost.

[Sequel to https://peakd.com/fiction/@internutter/challenge-04739-l355-birthday-wish -- Deathshead419

[AN: Wraithvine would have definitely hung around to make sure Nimnae learned ]

In the months between Lyala's birthday and Nimnae's, Wraithvine entered the local lord's household as a tutor. Promising to

Tuesday, Patreon and Counting Down

I just finished chapter 580 of A Devil's Tale and...

[Shown here: A screencap of a GoogleDrive directory for chapters 581-600, containing the last two chapters of that range]

The final countdown commenceth. I start announcing on all my socials when I'm down to fifteen or ten. I haven't decided yet.

It's likely that I will forget one somewhere.

Just watch me fuck this up.

BUT on the bright side, I also have offerings for the Patrons, may there be many more

Challenge #04782-M033: Extraordinary Evidence

After eighty years, humanity has returned to the Lunar surface again. At last we can begin digging under the regolith. Yet the first expedition runs into a little wrinkle when they excavate whale bones… -- Deathshead419

They thought they had thought of everything. Radiation shielding. Special equipment to snare that and the moon's static electricity and turn it into power. As well as the good, old-fashioned solar panels. Their habitat was proof against meteors big and small. Self-healing, or so the boffins

Monday, Further Modding Nonse

I'm moderating the Promptcast Stream as I type. Keeping an eye on the chat as I work on this or that.

I finished the thing for the Promptcast and I don't need to fret about offerings to the Archive since they're on a little sabbatical this week.

So now all I need to worry about is the other four Madlib Query Letters, today's story, and maybe keeping the chat orderly.

My brain is fogging hard because stress. I had a fever in
