Thanks to Internet Outage, I had a depresso nap and ended up writing chapter 344 of A Devil's Tale between 1 and 4 AM.
Yeah, I keep messing up my sleep cycle.
I forgot my stretchies and borked my wrists doing the story for the Foundry's next prompt. Whoops. A contributing factor may also be writing an entire chapter at BF in the morning. Double whoops.
And I have yet to engage in my normal offerings.
Let's get on with those. Starting with some catching up over at the Fediverse.
One leaf is brought in a small, black box. Sweet and flavorful, it has but one purpose. They are suffering. The leaf is placed in water, the tea is made. Their suffering will be alleviated and they will sleep, painlessly, forever. They knew this when asking for the leaf. Anything was better than the pain.

For those who suffer the most, for those who beg for it, there is the Last Tea. It

Beloved wasn't impressed with that and I can understand it.
But a fun day was had by most and I got lots of kisses and cuddles in and that will have to do.

Before, people had to wear full livesuits to leave the protected areas due to the spores of that world. Thanks to a couple of scientists born on that world, and human researchers, they come up with a special, clear, full-face mask that filters out all of the harmful stuff, so a person CAN visit without the full suit. It's still a little annoying, but at least a little more comfortable.
Beloved is another year older this very day, and we are going to see Spamalot this afternoon as part of the festivities.
Which leaves me very few hours to get my offerings out there and to get organised for the outing.
I still have no idea as to whether I shall be able to do the VTRRPG stream or the story stream tomorrow. Time, and my personal battery levels, will tell.
I'm already pretty washed out from the heat of parkrun this

Edges are dangerous. People or things either get cut by them or fall off them. They have ways of causing harm. The same remains with the Edge Territories. Here there be hives of scum and villainy. Here there be pirates.
Here, also, there be Humans.
Everyone venturing into the Edge knows that it's best to

Ah well. Live and learn. Best tried and failed than never tried at all. Something has to win eventually.

My findings from the yoghurt flatbread experiment:
Mr. Sunshine was on a terraformed station helping to destroy it. Why? The dereggers that ran it had used child-slaves as their "cleaning crew". An old "friend", a level 2 deathworlder, is stuck in a fight with deregger security trying to get themself, and several of these children, to their ship so they can escape, but they need a help in the fight.

[AN: Terraforming is kind of difficult in an artificial environment.

I'm still too dumb to make Stencyl do a thing. I'm going to direct copy the code from someone and untick my failcode to see if that works. Next week. This week, my lovely Patrons hear about all my efforts at failing.
Yay.
I'm going to try and be gentle with myself today. Attempt to keep my offerings brief.

If you could change anything about your past - would you? If given that chance, what would you change? The threads of time and fate can only tangle one way, it seems. But what if--?

I'm having another incident of Morbs, and battling through a chapter where I don't know what I'm doing is not fun.
Doing all the dailies is not fun for me today.
