Challenge #03398-I110: Earned Trust

A colony of Phloran peoples that are a break-away from their normal polity are more open to strangers, albeit very carefully to avoid being eaten. They invite Xue to bring the child to the colony to learn to care for the child.

Sprout wore Toxic Colours, as well as a patch that was their family crest. A Masked Lapwing, rampant[1], and the words, Death to All Threats on the scrolling underneath. Black for the fields of space, red for the blood spilled by the ancestors, and brown for the people[2].

Rennie Xue always held Sprout's hand whenever they made port. They always had their guard up, ready to meet any hostility with equal and opposite injuries.

Rennie Xue was looking for something very important and, in the meantime, doing their best. "You're not of my body, Sprout," Rennie said every night as they took their rest. "You are of my heart and spirit, and that's just as important. You are mine, and while I can fight, I will keep you safe." Not that anyone wanted to mess with Rennie.

Wednesday, Wordpress and Date Night

I have a wordpress to write sometime today. I may or may not be building dungeons for my players to dragon in. I may or may not be writing High Adventure for either Kingdom of Sand or Devil's Tale.

What I will be doing is having an adventure with my Beloved.

I have successfully given my players conniptions by ageing up the Dragon in the game. I mean, they are OP enough to handle it, but they also believe they could be

Challenge #03397-I109: PEBKAC

I love my job, really I do. But these cats will not stop trying to nap on my workstation. I love them too, but I really need to get back to work. -- Anon Guest

"Aw come on, guys. Not again. Off! Off! Pssst!"

Companion Zan watched as her assigned human shooed a cluster of Skitties[1] off of their workstation console. The Skitties that didn't immediately scurry off to their corners were lifted gently off and placed on the floor. Which

Tuesday, Patreon and Back to School

Miss Chaos is going back to school today. She's bounding with energy and I want a share of it, damnit. Also on my agenda today is the regular Patreon stuff, more dungeon to dragon in, and maybe some CritRole on the side.

I should also check out what live entertainment there is so we can do something new and strange on one of our date nights.

In a few short minutes, I shall be posting my tale for today, and then it

Challenge #03396-I108: Are You Sure They're Deathworlders?

A human brings their two beloved pets, a pair of gentle capybaras, aboard station with them. And their antics are just too adorable! -- Anon Guest

[AN: I have only witnessed capybaras being chill and hanging out like they have no flakks to give]

They were on leashes, so they had to be pets. Everything else was a matter of debate, especially among the Designated Companions who were watching them board. There was Human Gene and the two... creatures placidly following in

Long Monday PLNs

It's a long day for me, and only the fact that it's still a public holidaylet me crawl off to bed without disturbing my love in the process.

Tomorrow is the fun day. I have to be certain that Miss Chaos is school-ready and able to stay alert during the day.

The rest of today will be relatively quiet. We might yet finish the rennos we had PLN'd since about Saturday. It all depends on Beloved's need for sleep.

But I have

Challenge #03395-I107: Entrance Exam

An aspiring wizard wants to prove they have what it takes to join an adventurer's guild, quickly learning magic, despite being born with a surprising amount of power, is far more complicated than it first appears. -- Lessons

"I'm supposed to what?" said Avorune the Unprepared. "I thought there was a scholastic grant program."

"There hasn't been one of those in decades," sneered Loharith the Judgemental. "Who told you about that, your grandfather?"

"Um," Avorune blushed. "He said it would be easy.

Sunday, D&D and other stuff

My murder hobos are back at their shenanigans again, tonight. I am scrambling to get the next section of their shenanigans going. A bit at a time, true, but scrambling all the same.

An effort not helped at all by the fact that my right wrist has decided to go on firkin strike. Bleh.

We have rennos happening. New curtains for windows, and a pln to remove a defunct air conditioner from our window whilst also replacing curtains that are falling apart.

Challenge #03394-I106: Lost Their Marbles

The human accidentally defeated an entire ship's worth of pirates. How? They were hiding in the maintenance ducts and accidentally dropped their bag with an impressive collection of decorative marbles. -- Anon Guest

It's the little things that are important. And some little things are more important than others when a Human has entered Crisis Think. Some may view these obsessions as ridiculous, but they have their merits. People have, for instance, been distracted from multiple fractures by the fact that they

Saturday, Easter Shenanigans

All four days of this holiday are Feast Days. Simply so I don't keep bitching about what I can and can't have for nomnoms.

We need to get more kitty fodder, and that may be happening today. We also need to recycle all the bottles and cans we've been collecting and I have NO CLUE when that's meant to happen.

Real Soon Now is a very nebulous concept.

I have started on level seven of 23 of the seecondary campaign for my

Challenge #03393-I105: Hazards of Transdimensional Travel

In the perpetual meantime of a shelter eternity, most are content to live and not to dream. But in the hidden corner where the gods gazes do not fall, there are those who dream of dreaming. Some say a few are chosen and the rest are dregs, but I say we humans have our humanity. We will defy this world from a power from beyond. -- Anon Guest

There are some realities in which time is not a relative dimension. Things do

Friday, Unfuckening and Changes

Beloved's gradual beautifying of the entire dang house has influenced me... into doing little things to make the household environment a smidge more catalogue-ready.

I tidied up the ensuite this morning, and added some pretty soaps to the larger bathroom. And now I wait to see if anyone notices, just like any true chaos gremlin.

I like being benevolently sneaky :D

Today's agenda includes cleaning the Catio and possibly ranting about Everything, Everywhere, All at Once because that movie KICKS ASS. If

Challenge #03392-I104: A Quiet Evening in the Castle

It's a rainy, stormy, night, the wind is blowing, the fireplace is crackling, and the rain is drumming on the roof. They relax in the home with a cup of coffee, lean back, pet the furry animal sleeping peacefully at their side, and pick up their book to read. -- Anon Guest

Home is where, Da often said, you get to be yourself. Benevolence Bastion Felbourne Whitekeep (first of the name) had never understood it. According to Mama, Da had used to

Thursday, A Day Out

Beloved has booked us to go watch Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. Which is only on in limited theatres for a limited time. But it does mean we go out shopping for things and looking at cool nerdy stuff so I shall count that win.

Other PLNs may happen later in the day.

IF I get any progress, it is double win.

BUT for now I need to focus on doing stuff that happens every day.

Let's nyoom.

Challenge #03391-I103: Time Enough

The thoughts and inner feelings of the old witch as new students come to call. Someone to pass their knowledge to, and, perhaps, a new, young apprentice here to take their place when old age finally takes its dues?

https://peakd.com/fiction/@internutter/challenge-03335-i047-accepting-the-price -- Anon Guest

Varicelle had taken an overdose in her elder years, and had been looking for cures for old age for millennia. Alas, every fountain of youth had its price. A price too severe for an
