Challenge #04666-L282: Room to Fly

A young human who could tell the gnome Bribrid was actually a dragon asked in a soft whisper. "Could I please have two small scales? I want to make my moms necklaces for their birthdays." He showed several very small pieces of metal already shaped similar to a butterfly's body. "My mom's wife has silver wings." The other necklace was already done, this one was a small blue and yellow agate shaped like a kitten. "And my mom loves cats." -- Anon Guest

For all wanderers who find it necessary to travel in some form of disguise, the worst thing they can encounter is someone blessed with Truesight. There is also Soulsight, which can be worse for all parties involved. Most who have such vision attempt to keep their impressions to themselves. If they must say something, they try to remain discrete.

Zarid knew to keep things quiet. It was clear that the Dragon visiting town didn't want to be known as one. She had a perfect opportunity to complete her gift all the same.

It never hurt to ask politely.

Thursday, Tired Bean

I've been waking up early to chatter with maniacs again. Not for D&D but for a writing collaboration. It's... getting out of hand.

And so is my sleep cycle.

Which is why I'm writing this entry at one in the afternoon. Not at all helped by everything and its kid brother's dog waking me up before I got a proper rest in.

Onwards to today's story. Don't be surprised if I end up phoning it in. I'll try not to,

Challenge #04665-L281: Bloodwork Results

The vampiric Count Dragomyr learns to ask first before acting. In this case, by doing so, he saved many lives. Had he rushed in as he so often had done in the desire to care for those he loved, he'd've caused more harm than good. He was grateful this lesson was taught to him.

It wasn't just doctors. Dragomyr encouraged libraries and education programs. For anyone willing to learn, the resources could be

Wednesday, Catching Up on Nonsense

I have begun prepping the pitch kits for A Devil's Tale book one. No point in pitching the rest of the six if I can't flog the other five.

I have some blurbs to brew up and the rest of it is lined up. Having a checksheet really helps get things together. Yay.

In a few hours, I'll have to put on some clothes because I am at last getting my preventer prescription. Hooray. I can also get supplies along the way.

Challenge #04664-L280: Mend the Moon

They found why the moon was stuck like this. An accident, an experiment gone wrong, and the rich {censoreds} that caused it? Were more interested in arguing whose fault it was than fixing it. Fine, then everyone ELSE would fix it, and the moon would be shoved back to its proper orbit again.

There's an old saying - two can keep a secret if one of them is dead. The corollary to this

Tuesday, Patreon, Headaches, and Remote Tech Support

There's a lot of horseshit happening in my life today that I did not need happening. Starting with the precursor to a truly nasty stress headache that renders me functionally blind. Yay. The good news is that I clued on to what was happening and got myself dosed up with painkillers in time.

The bad news is - I have too much stress going on.

I have my mum panicking about her pension to the point where she's forgotten how to use

Challenge #04663-L279: Desperate Measures

Lady Death goes by many names. The Goddess of Death, she listens to all. And when this Rogue, nearing the isle, called out her name and said At least you saw fit to let us through, she responded. "I have always watched over your kind. I am impartial, mostly. Though more of your kind deserve reward in the next life than many I have met, it seems. Allow me to be your patron, and I shall give you a boon."

To their

Monday, Addle-addle Coddle-coddle

I forgot what I have to do on Monday - take Mayhem to the train so he could go to work. I keep drifting off to sleep at random moments despite my being well rested.

I'm working on finishing a chapter, today. Working on my normal nonsense. Figuring out what the living fuck has gone wrong with Kdenlive this time to make the subtitles fuck up.

That's going to be an ongoing thing, I am sure.

Meanwhile, I can at least provide

Challenge #04662-L278: An Acceptable Chain

Wraithvine's cat, Lilbit, climbs into the lap of a youngling who is, sadly, very allergic to cats. When the youngster starts to have a severe reaction, the furball is quickly sent to the tower, the child's symptoms are treated, and a special band is given to the child so this doesn't happen again. It was, after all, accidental. Even the parental didn't realize it had gotten this severe. -- Lessons

Cats are magnetically attracted to people who are allergic to them. Mostly

Sunday, Reads and Cake

I have a story to read for tomorrow's video. I have five chapters to read so that (maybe) Adorable can hear them. So far, efforts had not been great.

I'm recording on schedule today...

UPDATE!

I got interrupted by an errand to take machinery and bits to Beloved, and I got a couple more chapters read for her. Yay.

So now I get on with my offerings and video read at minimum. If I can, I'll get the latest five chapters recorded

Challenge #04661-L277: Heart of Hope

Fennel stayed until spring, and her companions stayed with her. She concentrated on only three things. Caring for her friends, learning new ways to help others from the guardian, and not dying.

The guardian, and her friends, had to keep reminding her that she came here to heal. After all, the seed did NOT actually create "heartless". It became a new heart. Heartless was simply a term used for those that allowed the heart to grow dark like blackened weeds, instead of

Saturday, Merry Birthmas to Me

I'm 53 today, and at some point, I must acquire cake. I may even have to ferry the kids around so they can get me bifdy presents.

I have the offerings to do and I might just pitch Adapting to the one agency that's speed-run rejecting my stuff. If any day is the day to be brave about things, it's today.

I did have a thought to bullshitting up a cover for the All Hallows' Read story I've got completed, but... I

Challenge #04660-L276: Take a Cup of Kindness

Greatfather Langeven visited the estate of a wealthy family, for he did not ignore any child, no matter the family's status. But there was a carefully wrapped box on the table next to the child's bed, and a little note, written in the child's own hand, well, helped by a staff member.

"I want no gifts, for I have plenty, but I thank you for your kindness. Please give my gifts to other children, and accept this gift from me to you.

Friday, Ease From Busy

I only have the offerings to do today, so I have some spare minutes to attempt to make an appointment so I can get my meds. Yay.

My bad habits are continuing. I need a minder.

At least I got my offerings out and about, a little late if not on time. And I'll have the time to mess about with the free trial of Scrivener. Seeing what I can do on the free model before I invest my limited coin in

Challenge #04659-L275: Seeking Assylum

The 'pretender prince' had, had time to settle in with his new husband and new role as the king of this land. Bringing it to a place of peace and welcoming rather than being gilded cages. Now, came the hard part. To speak to his father. To tell his father who he really was, and as for his prison? He would plead to Wraithvine to make it larger on the inside than the outside. The man, after all, was still his father.
