Challenge #03776-J123: Greetings From Onfim to Danilo

A school finds a time capsule buried in the era of human kind's first interplanetary flight. Inside of it are little keepsakes and letters left by the young children of the past. -- Anon Guest

It was meant to be opened a century after it was finally buried, in 2132, TCE[1]. By then, several things had gone awry. Things got forgotten. Mistakes were made. A school no longer needed was demolished to make room for fields. A field is eventually taken over by a new city. A new city digs a new sewer system and finds... a container covered in ancient writings.

An archeological treasure.

Fortunately for history, it came to light in an era when such discoveries were carefully examined rather than torn apart for the valuables they might contain[2]. The exterior bore a translation of every written language at the time. Simple words, Commemorating the launch and landing of the first Martian colony in the year 2032. In the hopes of teaching tomorrow what it was like for those who lived it. Do not disturb until 2132.

Challenge #03775-J122: A Study in Strings

They claim to follow "Q", but they need to get a clue. -- Fighting Fit

[AN: Well, if I wasn't on their hit list before...]

"The point was never believing all the conspiracy theories at once. The point was never in making them all into one mega-conspiracy. The point was not even in gaining proof," said the lecturer. "The point was to sound like they knew more than everyone else, and therefore get angry about the imagined injustices they were allegedly suffering.

Tuesday, Patreon and Vet arrangements

Jolie is overdue to get her teeth checked. That feels kinda doomed to wind up as expensive.

Pippi up and decided to sit on my left arm. Fortunately, typing anyway convinced her I'm not a comfortable pillow.

I expect further delays of the like.

Chapter Count: Just finished Chapter 270, have yet to write the first words of Chapter 271. Uncharted territories are slow going. Difficult writing terrain if you will.

I'll get there.

I know what parts of the story I

Challenge #03774-J121: Terms and Conditions

The most important books are the ones you have never opened. -- Lessons

"Welcome," said the voice, "to the Library of All Knowledge. What would you like to learn?"

The first impulse was to say all of it. So many dreams could come true. Each one of these books could impart a technique. Gift a mind with a skill. Yet there was not enough time to read up on how to fulfill all of his dreams.

He wanted to do so much,

Monday, Labor Day

The Tale Foundry backup reads are on, so any other written progress will be S-L-O-W.

As I have low expectations for myself on Mondays, I shall attempt to at least finish a chapter in the midst of the rest of my messing about.

Chapter count: Still midway through Chapter 270. Hopefully I shall have an increment for you real soon now.

When I hit 365 chapters [very likely] I shall start sharing the first sentence of each chapter per day.

All the

Challenge #03773-J120: I Can Do This

What, you think I'm not going to have my workout time just because I'm sick? I think not, my friend! Physical activity, with moderation, keeps the aches and pains away!

I will tone it down, though, and pay attention to my current limits. You don't need to worry, I just don't want to get even stiffer and achier than I have to be. -- Anon Guest

Kosh had picked up more than he was told to at the markets. This wasn't some

Sunday, Streamy Shenanigans

Tale Foundry is doing their thing. I have finished dressing a dungeon and begun another. I am pondering doing the meme whilst I wait to stream again...

And then I remembered I should probably blog.

Chapter count: Finally on the second page of Ch 270. Uncharted territory slows me the fuck down. Should be on things I've rehearsed real soon now.

Hopefully.

No other plns but messing around on the interwebs today, but I shall force myself to get some raw images

Challenge #03772-J119: Therapeutic Anger

Your painful tortures will not break me. Each day you force me through this, and my will, will never break. One day I will escape you. One day my legs will carry me, and I will walk away, free!

Havenworlder to patient - "Alright, it's time for physical therapy again. Worry not, your legs will recover from your accident, I promise." -- Anon Guest

Another day, another session in the torture room. Human Isle had to do it, even though ze hated

Saturday, Parkrun and Game PLNs

Looks like I'll be set dressing and Iconifying at 4AM tomorrow.

I did my first parkrun volunteer this week. I was a Park Walker. There to encourage the people who feel like they can't run in Parkrun.

The point of parkrun is to get out there and get some exercise. Even if all you do is parkrun once a week, it makes a difference on your health.

...says the bean who hasn't weighed hirself since the scales went flat...

Anyway. I have

Challenge #03771-J118: The First Lessons

The children were in a special home because their magic was too powerful for them to control. It was up to the new head of this place to help them learn to control it, before it destroyed them. -- The New Guy

The wards were enough to quell any outflare, including the ones that should have been impossible. Preparing for the unexpected saved lives here. The most important lives. The lives of the children who had an unexpectedly strong link to magical

Friday, Unfuckening

I did the open letter to the kids suffering under asinine laws allegedly "designed to protect children".

It's over here if you want to read it.

I'm still thinking about where to share it for maximum audience reach.

I'm about to go out and secure stuff for the cats. We're out of kitty litter and the catio needs unfuckening.

When I'm done with all of that, I shall be getting back to writing today's tale.

I'm offski. Let's get shit done.

Challenge #03770-J117: Big Chaos

Small Human Child: "For some reason, I always do a chaos if I'm not next to Rennie at bed time."

Small Child's Parent: "It's true. You don't want to see it. I didn't want to see it last night. Can you play quietly until I'm ready to go to bed?"

SHC: "Maybe." -- Escla

Companion Ghayth considered the very small Human currently playing with their KidReader(tm)[1]. They were peacefully guiding a digital effigy on a randomly-generated world. Chopping trees and

Thursday, Catching Up?

There's been shenanigans on shenanigans around here and I had a bad case of the DunWannas where I was chasing my endorphin fixes for a while.

I might still be doing that.

There's a lot to do and my digestive system is not helping my inclination to get the thing done.

Things be going right through me these days. Bit of a pain.

Speaking of pain...

I haven't done jack towards my longer-term goals and the more I procrastinate, the deeper my

Challenge #03769-J116: Risk and Reward

A special tower has been built to test the skills of anyone who claims to be a skilled thief. The higher they go, the more fabulous the treasures and books, but also more cunning the traps. None of the traps are lethal, at most they're embarrassing and uncomfortable. With some, failing the thief and sending them back to the beginning. -- Anon Guest

Wednesday, Wordpress and Shrink Day

I have what boils down to a phone call today, so you know that that takes care of the rest of plans.

I want to write an open letter to all the trans kids currently suffering under the brutal thumb of Right Wing Rot... but my emotions are gonna get drained enough through the shrinky stuff.

I might do an extra feature tomorrow. Time is of an essence with these kiddos. They need the support and writing is all I can really
