Friday, Maybe a Relax?

I have a video to publish on Peertube, the daily tale, and just maybe a chance to play a game other than Minecraft today. I also have zero excuses to not set up the blood test at firkin last.

Watch me come up with one.

My ankle's being a little tender so I'm treating it gently today. But in all other things, I should get things done.

Let's get going on that.

Challenge #04701-L317: Follow the Bouncing.... Orb

Some children try to get Wraithvine, Birbid, and anyone traveling with them to come play. They had balloons that one of the kids' parents had enchanted so they wouldn't pop, so they could play catch and bounce the toys between them. -- Anon Guest

[AN: Balloons take a long time to exist in Alfarell because latex takes longer to launch so I'm handwaving some magic]

Someone had cast several iterations Tinrak's Bouncing Orb in the plaza. The brightly-coloured bubbles easily rebounded off

Thursday, Physio and Parcel Post

I got physio this morning, and I have some packages to pick up at AusPost. Fingers crossed, they're still there.

I must keep my AusPost app active or I'll never get notifications -_-

I'm recording a tale and arranging a video today, as well as conglomerating today's offerings. I may or may not be able to arrange things for other works. But I am close to finishing a chapter of ADT so I'm taking that win.

What other wins there may

Challenge #04700-L316: Mercy For the Many

"They won't be changed or persuaded at all?"/ I'm afraid not, I'm so sorry.

"We both knew it might come to this."/ I know, but it's always sad.

"Don't worry, you know I don't make them suffer."/ If we want to save the people in those factories.....

"I know. Just, sometimes, there really is no other way. They'll simply fall asleep... and never wake up." -- Fighting Fit

It's easy to believe that ending the one badguy will solve a systemic problem.

Wednesday, Shopping and Rant Due

We. Need. Stuff.

I also need to write a rant, write a story, and work on other stories. With or without consultation involving a fellow writer.

My ankle objected to taking Mayhem out to work so I need to put on the brace before I take off on the usual Leyland's Tour. At least the list is short and the economic load is light this time. Huzzah.

Stuff coming out whenever I manage to get it done, of course.

I shall ice

Challenge #04699-L315: The Green Revolution

Is the difference between mad science and genius the success of the project? That’s what one researcher believes, for a new breakthrough could solve global warming. Or it could freeze the planet. Success or failure, genius or madness. Only results will tell which is which. -- Deathshead419

The saying goes, If it's stupid and it works, it's not that stupid. Some people feel inclined to test such expressions to the snapping point. Some have a mad idea and would rather seek

Tuesday, Patreon and PLNs

I owe things to my Patrons today. I have a story to write, but I have finished half a chapter of ADT this morning.

Combo of a productive 1AM and this morning's ice session. Huzzah.

May today be just as productive.

I also have a story to read so that tomorrow's video will be prepped and ready to launch. Fingers crossed, I stay that much on top of things.

Challenge #04698-L314: Emperor's Folly

“The Haters said I was daft to build a castle in a swamp. And they were right. Honestly, great call from the Haters.” -- Deathshead419

Determination can make miracles. Well. Determination, a lot of money, and special powers. When you can pay for anything, you can make anything happen. Including the castle of the moor.

Behold, the magnificence. The work of so much earth shaping, stone shaping, and a veritable mountain of gold. A work of magnificence years in the making.

Monday, Backup Reads

The Archive's about to start reading to each other. I've somehow managed to get the video out this morning, and I hope to go nowhere and do nothing, today.

I want to go nowhere and do nothing.

My plans for the same yesterday were dashed by MeMum's compy having a cookie overload. And complicated by confusion with the instructions. So I had to haul my bum out there and sort things out.

I finally have a solution to Mum misplacing her tech

Challenge #04697-L313: An Unnerving Supply

Conglomerated Meat Products Limited has a rather infamous reputation, beloved by customers for low prices and hated by nutritionists for how those prices are achieved. At least they were, and those detractors would love more information. Alas, the last three health inspectors to visit the plant have vanished without a trace, the police somehow never finding evidence of foul play… -- Deathshead419

On paper, it looked like a very good business. It never ran out of supply, and could fulfill a great

Sunday, Writer's Group Stuff and Things

The Archive is reading things. The Promptcast is about to read things. My things are not happening on the Archive's twitchcast, but will be happening on the Promptcast's stream.

So I'm keeping an eye on things and trying not to get distracted.

Not going great so far.

OTOH, I have written the thing for next week. Still operating on the questions to ask my future audience.

Offerings whenever I can focus on them.

Update

Had to do an emergency tech run for

Challenge #04696-L312: Important Gifts

A family gives Wraithvine a large pouch of catnip seeds for hir to grow the plant, not only as a medicinal tea, but a treat for Lilbit. -- Anon Guest

Gratitude comes in many shapes. Gifts as simple as a hug, or as complicated as an artefact that could prove useful in varied eventualities. This family could not spare much more than a small pouch of seeds. Of course they wished they could give more. Compared to how Wraithvine had changed their

Challenge #04695-L311: Remedied Choice

A traveling hellkin was a highly skilled medic who knew how to make most medicines, use magic to heal, and was an accomplished surgeon. They did not discriminate with their treatments, and only charged as much as a person was capable of paying. Even if it meant just asking for a simple meal, or, not asking for anything more, than a thank you. -- Anon Guest

If someone looked no further than first impressions, he looked like a wandering vagabond carrying a

Thursday, "Free" Day and Pay

We get income today. Huzzah. A weight off my shoulders, at least until I need to go shopping again.

Life's getting expensive.

I'm recording and arranging the next video, today. Possibly fiddling with a co-op project. And of course reviewing some fellow writers' microfictions so that I'm eligible to be read on stream.

And treating my ankle.

I want to play some games today. And tomorrow. I'll see what the assorted distractions allow me to do.

Onwards to the imaginings.
