Challenge #03947-J295: A Whisp of Hope

A young human came to the retired king now called Kosh once more. They came from another kingdom, a runaway dirty, almost skeletally thin, and exhausted. They beg for food, for water, for a place to hide, they didn't want to go back there ever again. -- Anon Guest

Kosh found hir curled up in the goat stalls, Somehow cuddled up to his biggest bastard of a Dire Goat. That old hellion was a decent enough judge of character or, judging by the look of the child, it might just be that Disaster mistook hir for one of the herd's kids. Ze certainly smelled like the rest of the goats.

Ze was still breathing, so that was something.

"Kleine?" he singsonged. "I need to milk these goats and you might get stood on."

Ze woke by cringing in place and blurting, "No! Don't!"

Saturday, Parkrun and Ongoing Shenanigans

Turns out that my wake-up music playlist is great for my walking speed. I got a cyclone headache on the drive to parkrun.

Fun day. I am only now able to take the painkillers I need.

Teh PLN for me is the usual offerings, followed by an attempt at an early night so I can do even more early early stuff tomorrow. Tale Foundry has cancelled, so my story stream will be on way early.

I'll also be recording another chapter of

Challenge #03946-J294: Educating Sunshine

Mr. Sunshine takes classes in medicine and childcare. This will help for future rescue missions.

https://peakd.com/fiction/@internutter/challenge-03853-j201-the-next-step -- Anon Guest

It took a special kind of person to educate members of Pax Humanis. It was therefore no surprise that it took quite some time to make one. A B'Nari AI fully created to teach the dangerous. As many dangerous people as necessary. Though for this instance, Mr Sunshine was in a class of his own.

As always, if

Friday, Foods and Funtimes

I am temporarily done with recording chapters of A Devil's Tale. So I began recording chapters of Adapting just for the heck of it.

First lesson: Shorter chapters are WAY easier to read. Yay.

Second lesson: If I want to do a professional version, I'm going to need a LOT of editing alongside the more professional setup.

I also need to price and source some things in order to have a professional setup. I have an idea for a foldable sound-baffling screen

Challenge #03945-J293: Caught in the Flames

They were not cleared for caring, technically they shouldn't be doing this. They were Pax Humanis after all. Don't give a damn, they held the child firmly but gently and ran as fast as they could to get to med station, and to escape the forest fire. -- Lessons

Some laws of the universe are incontrovertible. Don't eat anything that smells nasty. Don't drink anything that smells foul. Never leave a crying child in a place of peril.

Thursday, Game Night and Some Changes

Today, I read the last group of five chapters for Adorable. There will be more later, but I'm reading them in batches of five.

Tomorrow, I dial up Adapting and see what my limit is with reading that raw audio. I've selected an arbitrary figure of ten alternate reads. That should give me time to do some other things.

Who knows? I may even find some time to firkin enjoy myself. Get back to playing the sexy vampire game, maybe.

Challenge #03944-J292: The Biggest Game

A Galactic makes a bet with two humans. They could not team up with any other human, they could not use any tech other than the basics they and the Galactic agreed upon, and the Galactic had a 2 day head start. The bet? That the humans could not find and catch them within a 7 day time limit. Hell of a game of "hide and seek" to be had. -- Anon Guest

Minimum public standard tech. No social contact with other

Wednesday, Wordpress, Car Maintenance, and a Date

In one hour, allegedly, the nice ppl from Lube Mobile will turn up to service my car. Since it's no longer in warranty, this will be cheaper and take less time than going to Torque Ford. And that is why I am camped by the front door and listening for car noises.

This may or may not make me more effective at getting my offerings, but it will make the day a little more interesting.

Challenge #03943-J291: Ready, Set, Gorge

The first world-wide eating competition on the Thranityr homeworld begins! It would become an almost sacred annual tradition, thanks to an unlikely set of friends.

If there is one thing Humanity is good at, despite spreading their pack-bonding all over the universe, it is creating excess. They don't need absolute mountains of calorie-rich and unhealthy food, but they'll make it anyway. Because calories are tasty and lots of them are better.

Tuesday, Patreon and Busy Bean

My Beloved has a lot of shenanigans tomorrow. So I shall be working by remote. I have a lot to share with my peeps on Patreon, today. It feels like I've bitten off more than I can chew.

I gotta do it so that I shall have less waiting for me to do. More gets done, less left to do. Theoretically.

There's still a huge pile, but I shall nibble it away in good time. I hope.

Challenge #03942-J290: The First Steps

May we see the CRC's point of view on what happened here? And how they helped this poor young person and all the ones they saved?

Monday, Shrink Day and Foundry

It's happened. I had someone compare my WIP to the Bible. As in, the Good Book is LIGHT READING compared to whatever the fuck I have going on.

I'm sure other writers have been told to tone it down in the same way.

And I am once more called out for torturing the boy.

Muahahahahaha...

I am proceeding apace with the summary of Beauties, the recording of ADT. I haven't touched Stencyl, last week so my messing around there before tomorrow will

Challenge #03941-J289: In Every Home, a Garden

"But.... you're wealthier than I am!"

"Yes, so?"

"But they're making you pay those insanely high taxes!"

"Your point?"

"Why aren't you mad? Why don't you take it out of your people's wages??"

"Do you know why my empire is continuing to grow and so many of your people's empires collapse?"

"No."

"Come, let me show you a new path forward." -- Anon Guest

Sunday, Day of Rest

Yesterday:

  1. Did Parkrun/brunch
  2. Got dressed up for a birthday party
  3. Worked at Adorable's place so I wouldn't get too deep into work at home and forget the party was on
  4. Went to the party
  5. Which went WAY late
  6. I did not get to bed until half-past 11 PM

So I had to cancel my streams.

My offerings are still going out unto you. I'm writing as I watch the Tale Foundry stream.

There's a prompt for the next week that I

Challenge #03940-J288: Looks Innocent Enough

The human is albino, white hair, pale skin, pink eyes. Their much taller havenworlder friends that they are protecting have white fur and light colored eyes. The human wears the same colors as their crewmates for a uniform. The Pirates learn the lesson of the "hidden guard dog" the hard way. -- Anon Guest

The lighting on the ship was dim. They liked it that way. Their homeworld was, as some might say, slightly frosty. Thus, things like pale colouration and a
