Challenge #04556-L172: Stopgap Year

Reason allowed the young man to follow for a time. Even helped them get better clothing especially footwear. Used did not have to mean bad. They helped the youth find someone who could help them learn. And the two promised to remain friends even parting ways.

Reason could teach more than ritual magic. They could teach basic survival skills. Archery, foraging, how to prepare and clean a kill, basic cookery. Making certain the street rat named Dreg knew which mushrooms were edible more than once.

"When in doubt, don't touch it. Better safe than shitting blood in the middle of nowhere."

"Doesn't exactly t-trip off the tongue," criticised Dreg, who was a lot more relaxed without the overt judgement of everyone around him. "I'm sss-sure there's a ss-snappier way to put it."

Saturday, Parkrun and Pseuducku

I now know what to do to get Pseuducku online. I also know what happens when I hit the maximum of the free sample queries.

It's not a thing to worry about. Thank grop.

With luck on my side and maybe digging up a spoon to spare, I should get something online tonight or tomorrow.

I'm betting on tomorrow because I'm already pretty much shredded today.

Let's get on with the offerings.

Challenge #04555-L171: For Our Next Item...

A charity was having a big event and the grand prize was to spend the day with Wraithvine and hir dragon friend and go with them to the theater. Wraithvine, for their part, agreed to this because all of the money, save for paying the vendors for the big event, and the crew for set up and tear down, was going to rebuild a local hospital and a local childrens' home. -- Anon Guest

Big city. Bright lights. A festive atmosphere and

Friday, Accomplishments and Anticipation

As mentioned earlier, I have a barely-functional edition of Pseuducku. I'm hoping the fam will have a plan for me to share that thing with you. If they tell me to ask Cursor, I'll mention that I'm running out of queries.

I've seen to the Catio already, I'm about to read a story for the vids, and I got half a chapter accomplished because I woke up at fuckoff AM again.

So it's the videos and the offerings today. And messing around

Challenge #04554-L170: Seed of Life

They locate the Hartsoke plant, so insanely few and far between they are that it was nearly her end to find it. But the guardian had to be certain that this was need and not want. That this was her own choice in truth, not force, for her sake and her life.

Thursday, Bread and Physio

I have good news and bad news.

Good news - I have an Alpha version of Pseuducku.

Bad news - I have no idea how to release it.

So I'm taking a break from assisted coding until I can release the Alpha of Pseuducku. I can work on the "cutscenes" and dedication art, as well as the credits "page". I might even remember to record the process for my storytime B-roll collection.

I have the first loaf in the incubator and Mayhem

Challenge #04553-L169: Rebuild, Renew, Regrow

Lilly bumped into Wraithvine and Bibird many years after the incident with the floods. She'd opened a little shop that sold many various plants, both decorative and useful. The sign on the door had the name "Lilly's" upon it, and the symbol of a beautiful lily blossom.

The whole town had moved to more stable ground. The unstable ground looked like a bizarre garden. Half the remaining slope was covered in regiments of

Wednesday, Mor BREAD!

My cunning PLN has worked! Miss Chaos is slowing down on her ravenous sourdough consumption. She appreciates how much firkin work goes into each loaf. And there's food-with-instructions lying around so she's not starving.

She's just incredibly lazy.

Pan-fried toast is easier than a lot of meals she could be making. Faster, as well. The bread to make the pan-fried toast is a little bit more of a trial.

So I'm happy to do the second batch on my only while I

Challenge #04552-L168: One Being's Treasure...

A being argued that the eternal elf Wraithvine likely kept massive amounts of gold and gems, huge amounts of treasures kept away from those desperately in need. Surely an immortal being of such power likely was a greedy as the rest of them! The person snarled over their drink.

Then a soft voice spoke up to say, "Would you like to see my treasury?" And shocked the sullen drinker with a treasury of what seemed like mere junk to most, but were

Tuesday, Shrink Day and Mor Bread

On the plus side, the kids like my bread. On the minus side, I have to make way more bread. Starting today.

I'm going to get Miss Chaos to do the majority of the nonsense. Because she eats a majority of the bread. And get more flour next shopping trip.

Maybe three batches of bread will last an entire firkin week. Or maybe the spawn will view it as a challenge. Only one way to find out.

So far, Miss Chaos views

Challenge #04551-L167: Surprise, Surprise...

They kidnapped several youths, putting them in a cage over a spiked pit, all to force Wraithvine and Bibrid to come to their lair in an antimagic zone. They didn't realize, this duo knew how to work miracles even in regions where magic was not accessible. -- Anon Guest

They knew it was a trap. How could it not be? A distant fortress past a pile of traps, in an area known for its unreliable leyflow and terrible storms... it had 'trap'

Monday, Writer's Group and Stuff

The writing contest has an extra week, so the group has gathered together to bullshit at each other for a while.

I have a story to read, a story to write, a video to edit, the memes and doodl to contribute to the temple of notes.

Now that I have a starting point to return to, I can hope that the puzzle part of Pseuducku becomes a thing today.

I might even be able to publish an alpha version that's nominally function

Challenge #04550-L166: Zen Yoga Lesson

Pissing off a human is bad enough. When you do that to a N'Ozzie? Well, they'll do more than just kick your tail. -- Anon Guest

Do not anger a Human, for you never know how they will seek vengeance - Galactic Alliance proverb.

N'Ozzies are generally laid back and easy-going. That's their reputation in the greater portions of the Galactic Alliance. They're masters of making do, dealing with surprising situations, and creative problem-solving. What few people learn is that they're slow

Challenge #04549-L165: Family of Trouble

The one who was once a foundling taken in and called Wraithvine and Bibird "Untys", and the four who were the good-children of the immortal pair, find each other. In the finding, a close-knit bond forms among them. An interesting future awaits the party known as Compassion's Lessons.
