We were all up until something-to-midnight getting shit from hither to thither, so don't expect a lot out of me.
I PLN on getting the Promptcast thing away, the daily tale out, and then a LOT of sloth.
Onwards to whatever.
Challenge #04978-M229: Just Like Kids in a -- Oh Dear
A ship of pirates who think that human kids are easy to manage, figured just give them snacks, and they'd be calm. Except... they gave the kids lots of sugary snacks and learned a new word. Hyperactivity. -- BKF
It was a very simple plan with one minor flaw. See if you can spot it. First, conquer a scholastic transit vessel and send the adults off to their origin point with the ransom demand. Second, abscond to a secure location whilst keeping

Beloved is shuttling things up in the TARDIS car while Adorable packs, shifts, and chucks relevant objects. So I am pretty much stuck where I am for the day.
On the plus side, I did finally get to make an attempt at Centaur Porridge. Without cloves, because my cloves got chucked.
When I go shopping (likely tomorrow) I shall pick up some cloves, as well as apples, to try perfecting the recipe. Maybe. I made way too much this time and I

To celebrate the holy day of the Goddess of birth and renewal, people everywhere are called upon to show their children the way forward and share the day with them, teaching them, connecting with them.
The priests’ intention was a day of family bonding and learning for the next generation.
What they got was Bring-Your-Child-To-Work-Day for a fantasy setting. -- Tergon
[AN: Fun fact about Alfarell, the god of rebirth and sometimes fertility is Aurorus - the Dawn Lord...]

Today, wheel of randomness willing, shall be the premiere of the fifth fucking WIP they're responsible for. Hope you tune in.
I shall be allegedly focussing on the daily tale and the stream moderation.
As for my lovelies, I do believe they are off in Brizvegas scooping up the last of the remaining nonsense over there. I hope it all gets sorted in time.
It's Beloved's Outaversary and once again, I can't get her anything special because all my energy is focussed

Justice (the paladin) getting to know Mercy -- Weirdlet
[AN: Calls back to Made With Feeling ]
A wandering Paladin is not entirely commonplace, but they are a possibility. Usually before they adopt a pack of Adventurers for reasons that quickly become obvious, the more you know about Adventurers. The same holds true for a wandering Hellkin.
A wandering Hellkin Paladin asks and answers a lot of questions. One that remains unanswered to many is, Why would a god welcome a Hellkin as

I have junk in my lungs that is not shifting easily, but is making my daily life a pain in the bum. I have things that will help shift it, including going completely off the Keto for a spell. It seems to be working so far.
My lovelies are off in Brizvegas finishing up the unfuckening of the old base of operations. As I understand things, this Monday is the last day.
I have misunderstood things before.
I should learn not to

Scramble learns his time magic allows him to 'see' briefly through time. It's allowed them to avoid a lot of trouble. -- BKF
It took months to spot it, on their way from one place to another, because it was very subtle. And it's terribly difficult to spy other time magic when time magic is already employed. In the case of Scramble, it was reacting to situations slightly before they unfolded.
The gap between reaction and stimulus was getting lighter by fractions

We lost at Trivia Night. Whoops. Next week, we're calling ourselves the Bad Ass Losers. Might as well lean into it.
I'm dealing with some asthma shenanigans and a Cyclone Headache. I have no idea on what my lovelies are doing besides cleaning up their old base in Brizvegas, and I might be spending a majority of today horizontal in a dark room because MY FACE HURTS.
Yes, I have taken painkillers. I am waiting for them to kick in.
Onwards to

You made a huge mistake. You hurt master Twii's young charge. He WILL be coming to talk to you. Firmly. -- BKF
There's always someone like the type in the Edge Territories. Someone's brat whose parents believe can do no wrong. The kind of kid who is endless torment to everyone in their general vicinity. The troublemaker, the prankster, the hangman... or the bully. Or any of the above, depending on their mood. The kind of kid who the N'Ozzies refer to

My lovelies are offski in Brizvegas, sledgehammering stuff and chucking it in the skip. There is no news on the appearance of the foretold van, but I am nevertheless on starter blocks about that if need so be.
I spent practically all of yesterday working on the Promptcast thing. There are now FIVE fucking WIPs directly related to the Promptcast's shenanigans.
Powers know when any of them are going to be firkin done, but they will reach that point eventually. Or a

I am done. I've been a hired killer for over 20 standard years. I don't want to do it anymore. I'm tired of it. -- BKF
To quote classic literature: I am the best at what I do, and what I do ain't pretty. Not that I've read the works of Lee Kirby, I've just had it said to me by the people who have. Those sorts who can afford to learn how to read. When you grow up fighting for your

Hocus pocus, I need to focus. Why? Well...
- I have one less day to work on the Promptcast entry because of timing shenanigans last week
- Beloved will be renting a van to finish up working on Adorable's ex-house
- Which means I will have the use of my car for three days
- Which, in turn, means that I can go on a run to MeMum's for tech support, taxi duties, and stuff delivery. Huzzah.
Mum? Write your agenda now. Further bulletins as events

You're alive. How... unfortunate. -- Luna
Earl Valiant Stormwight Hallowfine Whitekeep was in the best place in his world. Respected by his Barons, absolute authority in his realm, and everyone in his power obeyed his every word. Everyone in his castle bent to his whims. His favoured son was just like him, even if the boy did run off to take the Grand Tour without Valiant's express permission.
The situation was still controllable. He had mercenaries on the case to track Spitebane

It's census day today, and the nosy buggers in the administration section want to know all kinds of things about me and my life. At least I'm on the rolls as an Enby now.
Noted on the e-Census:
- No space for Jews in the religion section
- Birth sex and gender identity are noted, as is sexuality
- Birth sex is mandatory
- They're really interested in how you get to work. There's tons of options including "Work from home"
We're getting it done early
