Challenge #03952-J300: The Affection Conundrum

"Help me! I've just realized.... I'm deeply in love with our Ship's human. I know our bodies are completely incompatible, and yet, I can't help it. Every part of me wants to be with them, what do I do??" -- Anon Guest

[AN: This is going to be EXTRA fun since I'm valiantly trying to keep these stories PG]

Love is many things, none of them based in logic or reason. Or, for that matter, common sense. Love... wants, and what it wants is a moderately decent diagnostic for how healthy the potential relationship may be.

Diagnostician Eun knew they were in love. How deeply and how badly... that was the job of the onboard psychologist to help hir determine. All they were both certain of was that Eun was in trouble. How much was the question.

Therapist Rett began with the biggest thing to ask, "What do you want out of the relationship?"

Thursday, Disrupted Plans and Dealing With

Okay. We planned to have a nice date night, but Beloved got ill because Rona Vax Blargies. So date night cancelled.

I was going to a walk-in for our own Rona Vax, but the only place that did walk-ins had expired vaccines so that was also a nope.

So now I have to call the docs and arrange for the three of us [myself, Mayhem, and Chaos] to get the all-important jab.

And I may have to see about getting the Flu

Challenge #03951-J299: What Do You Mean, Again?

A young god offers to make Wraithvine a god. They do not know that Wraithvine is already a 'living god' worshipped by an ever-growing number of individuals. They only know how kind the gentle elf is, yet how strong and firm, they are, and wanted to reward them for all that they have done. -- Anon Guest

Deification is weird. Gods are wont to spring forth from any number of causes. Some mortals meet extraordinary circumstances, like falling into the well of

Wednesday, Wordpress and Date Night

I'm due to add more angst juice to the tank over on Wordpress, and also due to pick up my Beloved this evening for another night of delights.

I'm back to reading a chapter of Adapting a day, and trying to read five chapters and do my Patreon was one heck of a workload.

I was worn out by the time I was done with my offerings for the day. At least today promises to be breezier.

I am about to commence

Challenge #03950-J298: Truth is...

A demon lord, a dragon, and a wizard team up to fight against those that would harm the innocent. And, sadly, their main opponents tend to be those that claim their causes are "holy" and the innocent villages are the "guilty ones." Whatever happened to beings who claim to be of the light actually helping people? -- Anon Guest

[AN: There is only one Demon Lord, usually, and that's the one who lights the Blood Throne of Whitekeep. However, the Hellkin children

Tuesday, Patreon and Workload

I have completed five more chapters of A Devil's Tale, so I'll be reading some of that rather than more of Adapting. I can only read one chapter of Adapting a day and have my throat still want to know me by nighttime. ADT has much shorter chapters so I can do five of those per diem.

I really borked the programming attempts with Stencyl, so I'll have to use screencaps to regress to the previous stage of nearly working. None of

Challenge #03949-J297: Odd Tools

The Duke It Out program is installed on any ship, or station, VR that has Pax Humanis members on it. The rooms always are well padded with self-repairing material and the VR is battle-tested equipment, just in case.

It's helped them quite a bit to vent frustrations.

Monday, Bits and Bobs

Those of you who follow me on Tumblr may be aware, but for everyone who goes here, first - I started posting a fanfic today. I have at least three other WIPs to finish on an 'unprofessional' level as well as the continuing saga of A Devil's Tale.

I might have five chapters to read to Adorable by tomorrow. Depends on where my muse leads me.

Possibly in every direction at once.

Today, I have finally finished the chapter-by-chapter summary of Beauties

Challenge #03948-J296: Up, Up, and Away

Want an example of human insanity my friend? Think of using the equivalent of a powerful blow-torch to heat up air in a big cloth bag, and riding underneath it on a flammable wicker basket. -- Anon Guest

Honestly, the Humans should have stopped with eggshells and smouldering tapers. That sort of thing demonstrated the principal and didn't involve risk to life or limb. Unfortunately, Humans get bored very easily. They also ask questions like, "What are the limits here?"

Which they

Challenge #03947-J295: A Whisp of Hope

A young human came to the retired king now called Kosh once more. They came from another kingdom, a runaway dirty, almost skeletally thin, and exhausted. They beg for food, for water, for a place to hide, they didn't want to go back there ever again. -- Anon Guest

Kosh found hir curled up in the goat stalls, Somehow cuddled up to his biggest bastard of a Dire Goat. That old hellion was a decent enough judge of character or, judging by

Saturday, Parkrun and Ongoing Shenanigans

Turns out that my wake-up music playlist is great for my walking speed. I got a cyclone headache on the drive to parkrun.

Fun day. I am only now able to take the painkillers I need.

Teh PLN for me is the usual offerings, followed by an attempt at an early night so I can do even more early early stuff tomorrow. Tale Foundry has cancelled, so my story stream will be on way early.

I'll also be recording another chapter of

Challenge #03946-J294: Educating Sunshine

Mr. Sunshine takes classes in medicine and childcare. This will help for future rescue missions.

https://peakd.com/fiction/@internutter/challenge-03853-j201-the-next-step -- Anon Guest

It took a special kind of person to educate members of Pax Humanis. It was therefore no surprise that it took quite some time to make one. A B'Nari AI fully created to teach the dangerous. As many dangerous people as necessary. Though for this instance, Mr Sunshine was in a class of his own.

As always, if

Friday, Foods and Funtimes

I am temporarily done with recording chapters of A Devil's Tale. So I began recording chapters of Adapting just for the heck of it.

First lesson: Shorter chapters are WAY easier to read. Yay.

Second lesson: If I want to do a professional version, I'm going to need a LOT of editing alongside the more professional setup.

I also need to price and source some things in order to have a professional setup. I have an idea for a foldable sound-baffling screen

Challenge #03945-J293: Caught in the Flames

They were not cleared for caring, technically they shouldn't be doing this. They were Pax Humanis after all. Don't give a damn, they held the child firmly but gently and ran as fast as they could to get to med station, and to escape the forest fire. -- Lessons

Some laws of the universe are incontrovertible. Don't eat anything that smells nasty. Don't drink anything that smells foul. Never leave a crying child in a place of peril.
