Challenge #04706-L322: Impediment Remedy

Their stutter was so bad they could only call the being "teuf". They would get to the f and the stutter would stop them from saying the full word Teufel. The being allowed the normally rude partial word because they understand the person couldn't help it, and helped them get their farm cleaned up and fixed regardless. At least the person was trying. -- Anon Guest

The woman in the straw hat and too-big boots had a jerky way of walking and an odd twitch to one hand. She was heralded by some jeering teens imitating her jitters and cheering, "How's the weather Fffff-florence? Is it fffff-fair?"

"Ss-sod off-fffff," growled Florence.

Travail knew at once that some disease or injury had done this woman no favours, and she had difficulty with sibilants. Thus making her a target as much as he was. He judged her as a fellow outcast as a crowd of bloodthirsty sadists gathered to watch what the Hellkin would do to the cripple.

Tuesday, Patreon, Birthday, and PLN'ing Skills

It's my Beloved's birthday today. We have a dinner planned to celebrate the day.

I have a collab to work on, the daily tale, the thing for Promptcast, the thing for the Archive, and technically three fanfics in the works.

I will be posting things whenever I can, but ability to can might just be out of my reach. My collab partner and I can get distracted by the drop of a topic.

While we're yatting on down rabbit holes, I shall

Challenge #04705-L321: Navigational Hazards and How They're Dealt With

What happens when a ship of former human military that has gone into psychosis and turned pirate, meets up and goes after a pax humanis ship? Worse, neither side really cares about their own lives, and barely cares about anyone else's lives either. -- Anon Guest

[AN: Pax Humanis agents aren't usually allowed loose because they're all serial killers and inherently dangerous]

It would have been too cliche to rename their ship the Bounty, and they all agreed on that. What they

Challenge #04704-L320: Midwinterfeast Tale

Two children, one human, one hellkin, were awake in their cold box-shelter when Greatfather Langeven arrived. They asked, please, to be taken in by him. "Let us help deliver gifts and help us find somewhere warm with love?" That is all they wish. -- Anon Guest

Traffic in cities flows like a river. All rivers have eddies and places were flotsam washes up. Some form something like a tosheroon. Others... hardly have a form at all. Dawn found Scrap on a midden

Sunday, Writing Group Stuff and Nonsense

The Archive is going through their tales. The Promptcast will be going forward in a few hours. I'm getting a cyclone headache and the weather outside is threatening my connectivity abilities.

Fingers crossed nothing else interrupts my plans to hang around and do a lot of nothing.

I know the next prompt, but... Figuring out what to do with it is the embuggerance. I'll see what pops into my head.

Meanwhile, I work on the other offerings. Including the arrangement of a

Challenge #04703-L319: Red Waves in the Morning

"Crap! We have a red tide."/ Shall I get the chocolate?

"No it's not that time yet. I mean we have a dead zone rolling in. Need to find out what is causing it before too much damage is done to this tidal sanctuary."

For those who are unaware of what a Red Tide is, I present you with this.

Saturday, Aches and Pains

The ankle is getting stronger. And grumbling all the way. I'm still babying the dang thing because I can sense it wanting to rebel.

My right wrist doesn't like me this morning and is reminding me that I have been beyond lax in doing my wrist stretchies before I get on with the tikkatakka.

I'll get going with that tomorrow.

Maintaining my meat suit is taking longer and longer.

I shall get on with today's tale shortly.

Challenge #04702-L318: High Volume of Problems

A small child tries to grab Bribid to carry off what they thought was a cute little gnome. The parental was distracted by trying to help two other children who were very sick. Fortunately, he and Wraithvine are very patient people. -- Anon Guest

"Small" is relative when including children. Gnomes tend to top out at three feet high, so their children are terrifyingly tiny when compared to -say- Humans and Elves. Or the large Harukh'a offshoot from the verdant valleys, the

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.

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
