No story today. I am slacking off.
My agenda today:
I shall gift you all with a twofer tomorrow.
Today is a me day.
And I needed that.
I haven't forgotten my promise -- Luna
Some things have unbreakable sticking power. A Hellkin's loyalty to someone with a kind heart, for example. The Faekindred's general prediliction towards duplicity and double meanings. And, of course, a heartfelt oath that includes the shedding of blood.
The blood of the oathtaker, of course. Anyone's or anything else does not count. That is how the gods know that it's serious.
That's what put the gods onto watching the oathtaker in question. Readying disasters and

I think I have earned some indulgence.
My vaguest PLNs for tomorrow include lots of gameplay, some slobbing about, and definitely some bad-for-me food.
Which I plan to acquire today.
Story shall be happening after I return from shopping and a nap. My PLN for now is to try to snag some editing for my Promptcast thing before I have to take off and

"Maybe you should check what the transit sigil is before activating it," Halek the Druid shouted to Poik the Magnificent. Their voice was lost to the howling wind and thunderous eruptions. He could have amplified his voice, but all his energy was devoted to shielding the Adventurers from the concatenating disasters around them.
The little Kobold Wizard was busy scribing notes. "Poik learn for next time." Ze could make everyone heard, since ze had the spell slots

I'm shopping tomorrow, but I need this before tomorrow. So up to the shops I go.
Writing happens when I get back.

[AN: This accidentally got me thinking of the followup to Purchased Loyalty ]
Alle devoted herself to learning everything she could about animal care. How to feed, train, and care for a Hellkin. Or a Human, which Hellkin came from.
Wars were still raging between Elvenkind and many others about how Hellkin came to exist. Amongst other nonsensical objections.
Some of the books were contradictory, so Alle chose the kinder options and blended them with her babysitting

Because if I knew what the fam is doing on Tuesday, I could go shopping then, but I don't. And if I want fun cool lazytimes on Wednesday, I need to prepare.
Also plotting to begin refilling the freezer with good things. Vegetables. Treats. Maybe some meats.
I'll see what I can do for sausages since my lovelies appreciate the barbecue and the brazier at

Beware walking alone in the wild places, the elders warned. And if you must go, give no food nor drink to any creature that finds you there.
Alle presumed it was a caution against bears and wolves. If they viewed someone as a source of food, they might view that someone as food. It was better that the wild things of the wild places feared those who walked upright, and may have blades in their favour.

I certainly hope the hosts can survive the marathon.
Meanwhilst, I attempt the daily fiction whilst monitoring the stream, and clinging to what sanity I can manage.
Huzzah. 'Tis time to allegedly focus.

We now have more fucking bread than we know what to do with. Adorable made sure we'd have plenty to tide us over the three-day baking process. So we have loaves all over the place.
I've put all of the purchased baked goods out in the open for easy predation consumption. My hope is that sandwiches help erode the supply there.

[AN: This has to happen in a different universe to my usual one. It just doesn't fit]
If there is one thing true about Humanity, it's that there's an intense desire for a bigger, better weapon. Not always to use against their eternal enemy - other Humans - but to

The big, awkward, hard-to-shift furniture is up here, in pieces, and everywhere related to "in the way". We will be consolidating our assorted nonsense when it's all up here.
That includes two households worth of cutlery, crockery, cookware, gadgetry, and accoutrements to sift through. Yay.
And I have comics to catalogue [later to sell]
