Saturday, MOR Shopping GDI

My sandals have fallen undone for the last firkin time, so now I'm on the hook for getting another set. And also attempting to find them is going to involve wearing the shit set because they're the only set I have.

At least I can get one to stay on if I wear the ankle brace. Sort of.

I also have bread in progress so I may even wait until the first loaf of the day is done and the next is proofing before I set off on my grand quest for orthopedic sandals that will actually stay on.

I have some leads, but I don't know if they're worthwhile. I shall be finding out the hard way because the online catalogues available don't have the data I need.

I can get orthopedic thongs, but I'd rather not.

I also need cat food as part of my journey. Though it is the most important supply to get (just ask the cats) it's going to wait until I have better footwear.

Story whenever I can squeeze that thing in.

Challenge #04723-L339: Unburied

Sluggish movements, unable to think, and forced to work for eternity by a Vodun Sorcerer. Zombies, a metaphor for the nightmare of every slave. After decades of distortion, it would be fitting to tell a tale in the mold of what happened to those unfortunate souls like Clairvius Narcisse… -- Deathshead419

[AN: I usually don't mess with RL people. So this entity will be legally distinct from that person]

I am... stuck. I know I was someone, but I can not remember.

Friday, Emergency Dash

Miss Chaos needs more slobwear. And hefty instructions on how to make her clothing last. Maybe re-enforced with some parental haranguing.

I also need a mouse to make my lappy work because the trackpad has decided it doesn't like me. I have what I call "Random Clickitis" that calls functions/things I had never wanted. Often while I'm typing.

Adorable is trying to help me out by extreme remote - she's in Melbourne with Beloved doing a meet&greet to organise

Challenge #04722-L338: Not the Best Laid Plan

When the conspirators are trapped, their plans come to ruin, someone has to be responsible and that one will have to pay the ultimate price for stupidity… -- Deathshead419

It had been a simple enough plan of sorts. Assassinate the new Earl, gain the favour of the old Earl, and perhaps that of the favoured son. It may even gain them the favour of their liege lord for removing an obvious problem. Others who knew of their plot insisted that no good

Thursday, Chugging Along Slowly

I know what the next prompt for the Archive is, so I've written that story far in advance. Now I just got to trim it town to the allotted amount of words.

No pressure.

The catio is fixed, at last. Necessitating a trip to Bunnings to get the aviary clips, but it was done yesterday afternoon and the cats are once more secure indoors. Huzzah.

[Shown here, a mesh patch over existing mesh, held on with crimped aviary clips]

Challenge #04721-L337: Den of the Unwelcome

Where can someone go when the world is on the hunt and there seems to be no safe harbor? -- Deathshead419

The thing with running was... you had to keep running. Stop and relax, and they would catch up with you. You learned a thousand ways to stay out of sight. You learned a hundred ways to avoid notice. And you had to learn what was safe to eat more than once. Especially if you wanted to survive for one more meal.

Wednesday, Rant and One Little Thing

I just need one thing to fix the fuck-off hole in the catio.

[Shown here, plastic garden mesh with a huge hole in it. Concrete and plants are visible through it]

It's aviary clips. I've bought them via click and collect and will collect them when prompted to do so.

In about four hours. When the full heat is on the day.

So my options are: Wait until the day cools off and do that, or... wait until early the following morning

Challenge #04720-L336: Learned Something Yet?

It's been twenty and one years. Wraithvine comes to see if the little turd has finally learned some humility. The allied Duke, a peaceful, and honorable elf, joins hir to see his future son-in-law as well. He would never let his daughter wed one who would mistreat her.

One can wander very far on assorted quests during twenty years. Especially if a few Dragons or deities decided to relocate Wraithvine to different continents.

Tuesday, Patreon and FML

Breaking News

Pippi has figured out how to escape the fucking catio. Part of my ongoing mission now is to figure out how she gets out and what we can do to fix that shit.

So I gotta put on clothes, go to Costco, and get another slab of eggs at least.

THEN there's detective work on the catio to figure out.

So... whatever is happening online today? It's happening whenever.

Challenge #04719-L335: Newfound Family

Come to find out, this a new kind of fae. Magic, it seems, can sometimes spontaneously poof life into existence when there's a sudden buildup, like this youngster. Choosing a name was one thing, but learning how to care for them was another. There was going to be a learning curve for both. First, clothes, then, food, maybe? This very young one was going to be their foundling, but they were also going to be quite an education.

Monday, Archive Socialising and Other Things

The folks at the Archive missed me, so that's where I'm spending my morning hours. And it gives me a chance to procrastinate on sallying forth and getting more stuff.

I need a new stand mixer, and I need a new stash of rice, as well as flour for the ginger bikkies that I plan on gifting the fam.

I'm thinking about rolling some in 100's and 1000's just to see what happens, but I don't think it'll work out like I'm

Challenge #04718-L334: Haunting Recall

An older elf, though far from elderly, spent their days deep in wine and dandelion. Their nights in tears and regret. They had done so many terrible things they were unable to forgive themselves for. The humans asked Wraithvine to help. This elder had only been a child when this all happened, they didn't deserve this kind of sorrow. -- Anon Guest

The Xenophobia Wars were not one war, as evidenced by the plural. They were not one event, nor between one

Sunday, Stream Shenanigans

The Archive is not streaming this week. The Promptcast is. Meanwhile, I'm allegedly working on my main offerings.

I shall endeavour to have some play time today. Rather than diving wholesale into shiny and spicy fanfic. I have no idea how well that's going to work, though.

The fanfic is fun... but not play

In the FuckMyLife Files, the stand mixer that has done excellent service since my smols were SMOL... has decided to give up the ghost. So my future travels

Challenge #04717-L333: Sweet Justice

One of the waitstaff, technically they were still just a trainee at the Drunken Horns, when the adventurers returned a few nights later to, once again, enjoy a party, yes they DID make reservations first, asked softly. "So.. what happened to the watchmen bullies?"

Mudita, as a young adoptee of the Drunken Horn, had been on cart service when the corrupt Watch squad came in. Watching a bunch of evil-minded goons get comeuppance

Saturday, Reserved Fun Hours?

I'm juggling bread, icing my ankle, and the usual story stuff, today.

And one side project is very shiny and distracting.

BUT I also hope to have a few hours at the end of the day to meddle around in a long-format game. Either Sexy Vampire Game or Hideo Kojima's Pizza Delivery Interactive Movie.

I dunno.

I'll see what I can do whilst at the mercy of various timers.
