Challenge #03853-J201: The Next Step

Mr Sunshine finds that his usual ... escorts, are around less and less often. And if he looks at his file, he's cleared to interact with kids, at least in public.

https://peakd.com/fiction/@internutter/challenge-03611-i323-a-small-alarming-encounter -- Anon Guest

Some psychopathic, sociopathic murderers have moral standards. It surprises everyone to know this. Most of them have a better moral structure than your average Deregger CEO[1]. Or, for that matter, the people who support them into power.

Mr Sunshine found himself examining his own profile. The history of his life and all the psychological entanglements therein. He knew most of this. He knew he was dangerous. Heartless.

Becoming tutor and guide to Jay altered things. So too did his encounters on their third Deregger world together. He had taken the time to move the youngest children from the CEO's private creche of heirs, and into the more common throng.

Thursday, Aftermaths and Twofer Day

We busted our voices singing the Greatest Hits of Queen among other songs, I consumed WAAAAYYY too much sugar. Great bonding experience all around.

For a majority of yesterday, it was Hurry-Up-And-Wait. Followed by Go-Places-And-Do-Things. So I didn't get many of my offerings out yesterday.

Plus, when I am roaming around the place with the security blanket lappy, my brain goes on "Must write book" mode.

Eh, at least I got some extra verbiage done.

Chapter Count: 3/5ths through Chapter 300.

Wednesday, Date Day and Wordpress

I should launch soon, but I also need my nebuliser, so I take off after that.

I shall be shaving seconds on this.

Everything is going to hinge on my ability to fill my lungs with medication.

I won't speed. I won't drive dangerously. I'd rather be a little late than dead, on time.

Beloved is seeing experts, so I am chauffeur, escort, and entertainment for the day. And then it shall be dinner and Karaoke for the QPP.

Huzzah.

I shall

Challenge #03852-J200: A Well-earned Rest

Wraithvine introduces Bibrid to hir pet cat, Lilbit, and friends. Poor individual has a lot of healing to do. Fortunately, hir friends are as soothing as Wraithvine is.

Ze had made a camp inside the abandoned house. A small fire and a kettle, and some special tea set to brewing.

"There's people suffering," pleaded Bibrid.

"There is time enough for tea," said Wraithvine. "You're dangerously close to panicking yourself into a conundrum, and

Tuesday, New Developments and Patreon

Beloved is going back to the office today, and I was not given 24 or 48 hours notice about that. So much for my nebulous plns to keep her company.

There is another expert-go-round tomorrow so I shall be chauffeur, escort, and entertainment for the duration.

Today is blackout day. The day in which the power company is going to shut down a neighbourhood to remove a dead possum make some essential maintenance happen.

When that happens, I shall not have internets.

Challenge #03851-J199: The Wolf at the Door

InterNutter, you're right, this would make a good prompt.

Chain, still in therapy and being monitored by security, constantly hid behind the security officer any time someone raised their voice or appeared angry for some reason. It was obvious the security was seen as a comfort. Rather than protecting others from Chains, protecting Chains from their constant fear.

Monday, Disorganised Today...

I need to draw a duck. I need to write at least one chapter.

Just so I have content for my Patrons.

Because Tale Foundry cancelled, I don't have a story for them. Though I do have something for a different writing contest. I just need to double-check the limits and cook up anything extra if necessary.

I might add the extra anyway because I do have some spare ideas to add for the fun of it. And because I know I

Challenge #03850-J198: This is Not a Place of Honour

Gikka has gotten into the bad habit of sticking her hands where they don't belong. Something shiny ends up being something that needs fast treatment, and faster prayers, to save her from losing that hand. Sometimes even a thief needs to learn to be prudent. -- Lessons

Certain words, chained together in a specific way, are a guarantee of doom. In this case, it was Gikka peering into a crevice and saying, "Hey there's something shiny in there!"

Wraithvine said, "It should

Sunday, Smouldering Holiday

I got that odd pre-burnout depression mixed with Asthma Brand no-air panic attack going on, so I'm going to line up the treat food and spend the rest of the day in bed and watching garbage.

I have all the post-medication signs that I should have done a nebuliser dose sooner. Including:

  • Pins and needles in the extremities
  • Tinnitus
  • Dizzy spells that are more like the entire grimoire
  • General wibbly wobblyness that means I should probably steady myself on stable objects for

Challenge #03849-J197: Liminal Encounters

As Jeremy walks though the abandoned pizzeria only accompanied by the hollowed footsteps and the memories of the forgotten place, he pause to stare at the empty stage of where they once were. So full of joys, such fond memories. Suddenly there was a gust of wind slamming the doors to the entrance shut. Jeremy rush to the front of the pizzeria. Locked. His spine tingling as if someone, something was staring at him. The stage behind the teen didn’t feel

Saturday, Parkrun and Game PLNs

Whoopsydoodles, I forgot to work on the blog before setting off towards today's story.

Successful parkrun, today. Beloved walked, and had to slow down because OW, fractured arm. She didn't take her sling, which she still needs when doing a lot of moving about.

Derp de derp derp, my love.

Something we will remember for the next time.

We have to wrap that lovely lady in cotton wool.

The three of us managed to get Miss Chaos moving faster than a taffy-esque

Friday, Unfuckening and Chat

I'm going to write my daily tale [and this blog, natch] before I set myself the task of cleaning the yuck out of the catio.

I have already made and consumed The Bikkie.

I have already done the meme in the Fediverse.

The only offering left is the daily tale.

I may stir myself towards a duck, today. I may do some work on a map. I may even write or contribute to a chapter.

Chapter count: About to commence Chapter 298

Challenge #03848-J196: Fit the Environment

They had been a CEO, but thanks to an exploding sun, their empire was ruined. They, grudgingly, allowed the CRC to rescue their living resources as they were not QUITE as heartless as some of their ilk. But man, they'd never been this tired, their feet never hurt this much, they'd not worked this hard before. Is manual labor really this harsh? They have a lot of thinking to do. -- Anon Guest

"You owe me."

"I knew it.... what's the price?"

"Never EVER let me hear you calling yourself weak ever again."

"You are NOT weak, it's time you realized that." -- Anon Guest

Lessons had been going on for a year. On schedule or off schedule, Master Kosh always seemed to have the time. Even when he was in the middle of making cheese.

Every failure seemed to grate against Ami's spirits. She desperately wanted to be better at everything,

Thursday, Cyclone Headache and Game Nite

I awoke with a cyclone headache, which is still persisting despite the painkillers I took with my coffee. It's VTTRPG [Virtual Table Top Role Playing Game] night and the further adventures of the chaos crew are bound to contain lots more dicking around.

We spent at least half of last sesh adapting to the new Owlbear, and this is the crew that takes two hours to cross a bridge.

We have fun.

The painkillers are starting to make my head fade from
