Challenge #03760-J107: All is Not Lost

I have often wondered. Individuals that birth children who are Pax Humanis members. Do they get to raise their own children, or is that a case by case situation? -- Anon Guest

Els tried hard not to panic. Deep breaths Just because her child Aed had tested low on empathy was not the end of the world. There were still things that could be done. Courses they could take.

Educator Kam seemed to read Els' thoughts. "Just because they tested low does not mean they can't live a fulfilling life. The potential for Aed to live normally in society is still present. It may take a little extra work, and a little extra therapy, but it's important to believe that progress is possible."

"Progress," Els looked over to the corner where Aed was playing with their puzzles. Not with the effigy figures, not with any kind of alternate perspective play. "And if progress proves impossible?"

Challenge #03759-J106: They Seek Them Here...

What do I do for a living? I'm a smuggler. What do I smuggle? People. From where to where? From Deregger places safely into the Alliance. Hey, it pays good, I make people happy, and I get to pretend to be a scoundrel and get a few laughs. Life is good. -- Anon Guest

Let me tell you something for free. It's not easy when you do cogniscent trafficking for the greater good. High risk, high reward... sure. It's very much that.

Sunday, Game Night, Tale Foundry, Nonsense

Tomorrow, I journey to MeMum's to teach her things and help fix stuff. Today, I attempt to focus on assorted nonsense. Tale Foundry is reading stories. I should stream today's tale sometime RSN.

Going out and about without the Lappy is going to be a pain in the bum. Yes, I can manage with the iPad, but I never figured out how to stop doing smart quotes in that thing and going back to amend them into 'dumb' quotes is one extra

Challenge #03758-J105: Step One

Due to the horrors in their past, they spent most of their time inebriated. It wasn't until, in a drunken fit, they took a swing at a member of Pax Humanis, that someone dragged them to a therapist, and get them cleaned up before it was too late. -- Fighting Fit

[AN: No word of a lie, if this happened in the core of the Alliance, there would have been an intervention WAY sooner than that. So this is happening around the

Challenge #03757-J104: The Horrors of War

A playful poltergeist keeps pestering Wraithvine's apprentice. The kid is stuck in this world, not sure how to move to the next. So, instead, starts pestering the living, as any kid would, trying to get attention. -- Anon Guest

Some souls can't be returned to their bodies. Those who were killed in such a way that their body was obliterated have no body to return to. Even with the strongest resurrection spell at hand. The army of the risen were gathering as

Friday, Complications

There's a crack in the monitor of my Lappy, so it really truly had to go get some repairs. I didn't put it in yesterday because the dang forms took up all of my time and I therefore didn't get to test the lappy.

Yay...?

Because the repair people are in New South Wales, it's two business days' transit there, two more back, and whatever added days for the repair.

I'm going to be without my lappy for a week at the

Challenge #03756-J103: Everyone Needs a Hobby

One is a dragon, the other a human cursed with immortality. They fell in love, and they spend their long life running a forge in a lovely small city. -- Anon Guest

Welcome to Dragonforge, the first place to create and use Feathermetal. It, and neighbouring Redmine, are notorious for both this and insisting on remaining a little place in the middle of nowhere.

They could have made an empire on the basis of Feathermetal, but there was one thing that made

Thursday, Stuff and Things

I have a dental appointment today, and I have to turn up early. That will dictate where the rest of my day goes.

I will have either one or two curses to remove during my following nonsense.

Aunt E has some continuing troubles and curse removal seems like a viable option at this point. Fortunately, I know a few places who sell some decent curse removal stuff.

As for the other curse... my laptop has developed some quirk. The mouse pad has

Challenge #03755-J102: The Best Hat in the World

Wraithvine and friends were riding in a carriage to the next village. A small child kept giggling, trying to swipe the pointed hat, wanting to wear it. The parent sighed with patience trying to get the somewhat rambunctious toddler to settle. -- Anon Guest

Gikka had to ride on the roof, under the close watch of the carriage guard. Strodius was wedged into a corner and incapable of movement. The Hellkin next to him was barely capable of crochet. There was one

Wednesday, Wordpress and other things

I'm going to add a completion counter to the fanficcy variant of A Devil's Tale that I'm posting today. Needs to happen.

So I can have rants or samples ready for the next one after I run out of fic to post. So my readers know how much remains. So anyone coming in knows exactly how far I'll take an idea before a novel takes over.

So I can be fair to the peeps following my silly little story.

And just maybe

Challenge #03754-J101: Broken, Free

Even the CRC security were going to need therapy after seeing THAT mess. The body looks like it'd been through ten levels of hell before being allowed to die. The shaking person in the center, rocking, weeping, knife in hand, still bore the shackles of their bane, before they flipped, and freed themselves. -- Anon Guest

Their name was Chain, and they had died. They should have died. They remembered the feel of the blade, their stolen blade, slicing through their throat.

Tuesday, Patreon and Head Hurty

I woke up at Fuckoff AM with yet another fucking cyclone migraine drilling through my left eye orbit. Rather than suffer until the daylight hours, I took some of the Mondo Painkillers and the pain kept me up for another hour or so.

...and most of a page of A Devil's Tale so there's some win in all of this horseshit.

My priorities shall be the offerings for today, followed by whatever I can stand to do thereafter. Not easily anticipating going

Challenge #03753-J100: Come For the Laughs

Entering a village, a festival is going on. People are playing harmless pranks on each other, and the children are laughing and having fun with sweets. Today is the Day of Laughter. A harmless day of food, fun, and jokes. Not to be forced, but to be enjoyed. -- Anon Guest

"Are you laughing today?" said the small child up a tree. "I need t' know before I do stuff."

Journey Threshold put her guard up in a cold second. It honestly
