Challenge #03750-J097: Learn the Hard Way

They flinched away any time someone came close to talk. They kept to themselves, eyes down, shoulders slumped. But when someone took a swing at Mr. Sunshine, before he could react, they were all over the person, beating them to a pulp in defense of the man. -- Anon Guest

People become members of Pax Humanis because they are dangerous, and can't otherwise prevent that danger. They're kept apart in safe environments, receive therapy, and are supervised to be sure their danger goes in the correct direction.

You'd be surprised how often people can forget about that.

Anywhere near a Pax Humanis sanctuary world, you get the sort of people who want to prove themselves in the worst possible way. The Alliance tries to keep them away for their own protection, but there's always one or two who have to learn by making a grand mistake. Such as Human Blu, squaring up to menace a pair of people in hazard-coded clothing.

Good Friday, I Made a Mistake

All through March and April I was thinking, "I really gotta shop for Easter. I really gotta shop for Easter. I REALLY gotta shop for Easter."

The shops were shut this morning.

Firkin WHOOPS.

We managed to wing it anyways. Gonna try to not procrastinate holidays from henceforth.

Not helping is the general inclination to just focus on the stuff that's here and now and less expensive to deal with.

Inertia is my copilot, alas.

I still haven't cleaned the catio or

Challenge #03749-J096: Safety Inspection

A magical amusement park, rides and all, has been built. Wraithvine and friends are asked to evaluate it for safety before opening to the public. -- Anon Guest

This was much more than a merry-go-round, a ferris wheel, and a pitch-a-ring stall. Some were entertainments that hadn't been seen since the last gilded age of high magic. A giant steam engine was prepared to run a band of bardic automatons and a mechanical giraffe, for some reason.

Wraithvine was here for the

Thursday, Behind the Curtain

I didn't tag a week, yesterday, but I did get a chapter summarised, so there is that.

I hope to tag a week, summarise a chapter, and at least draw a dungeon floor map before I play PathFinder with my peeps in the Rainbow Chat Group.

Wish me luck.

I also plan to drip sentences or paragraphs into my working chapter as I go.

Chapter Count: Began working on Chapter 262

Fingers crossed that I get to at least halfway through it

Challenge #03748-J095: Attempted Destruction

Know this: the unperishable pervades all; the all enduring cannot be destroyed. It has given birth to all world. And this you must understand: I am both the world’s origin and its destruction. -- Anon Guest

Darkness, a great wise one said in years past, is the fastest force of reality. No matter how fast light may travel, the darkness is already there and waiting. It will be there long after the last photon dissipates into nothing.

Darkness... waits.

But there

Wednesday, Worpress and Date PLNs

I'm still dribbling sentences into Chapter 261 where the happy happy fun times begin.

Turns out writing smut is a skill I need to rekindle after years of letting it atrophy. Once I get back into the -haha- swing of things, I'm sure I'll take off into writing two chapters a day again.

Or near enough to it.

I have little idea of WTF I might be doing tonight. Maybe bath snacks and reading to my lovely. Keep it cheap since we

Challenge #03747-J094: Roughing It

A long time ago, an experiment in making antimagic fields exploded contaminating a large area of the forest. The forest healed, the magic did not. Any magic user traveling through will find, in the days of being in that forest, they cannot use their magic. -- Anon Guest

War has been with the world since one intelligent being looked at another and decided to throw a rock. Or a sharp stick. The records are non-existent. War ruins many things, and they can

Tuesday, Doing the Stuff

I'm definitely working on stuff I haven't written before. Scenes I haven't messed with in any other arena. Scary.

So I shall be slowing right down in my chapter production as I go forward. Until I reach other areas in which I am more secure.

Chapter Count: Battling through some steam for Chapter 261

Patreon posts today. Story very soon. Onwards to the rest of it too, I hope.

Let's get some progress on.

Challenge #03745-J092: Conquering Family

This small one, you ask, was meat. Found them as a baby, was going to raise them to make them big enough to be a real meal. Yes they are human, they are my child. They are VORAX! Touch them, and you will suffer before I let you die. -- Anon Guest

This is mine, by right of conquest. I decide what is done with it. Touch it and lose a limb. This was small, and soft, and vulnerable. This... was meat.

Monday, Reads and Writing

The Tale Foundry backup reads are going on as I write this. I have been variously awake since 1AM this morning. So I am not going to do very much behind the curtain for reasons that should be obvious.

Chapter Count: About to commence Chapter 260

My other plns will involve keeping my Beloved company and maybe playing some games.

Let's get on with things.

Challenge #03744-J091: Attractive Opposites

I cannot move now, I'm so cold. I know I could touch their minds, but it may cause them pain. But I need help. Is it right for me to give them a small amount of pain when I need to beg their aid? They seem to be trying to help already, asking questions... alright. My saviors, forgive me, but I need to answer those questions, and beg to be able to move. -- Anon Guest

They dug me out of the

Challenge #03744-J091: Fate Like a Dagger

I know my close friend is fated to die a terrible death. Yet, if I change this fate, I will cause much more destruction on everyone around us. My friend knows this, accepts it with a smile, and yet.... everything inside of me screams to change the world to save them. -- Anon Guest

My lord Neptolomos Jannaeus, inheritor of the Fiscal Empire of Olikent, is doomed. I've known he was doomed since we were ten. As for me? I am -was-

Saturday, Parkrun

Evidently, I decided to deal with April Fools' by not participating. Just being offline for most of it. I need to be wary tomorrow as it's also April Fools' for then.

Aaaah, internet.

I'm waking up early tomorrow for the Shenanigan Streak:

  • Game Night Morning
  • Tale Foundry
  • Story Stream
  • Toasty Stream (if available)

All of these can keep me at my desk until the afternoon, lag depending.

Daily tale to follow here.

Challenge #03743-J090: Essential Education

The unwanted, the hidden, less.... liked.. species, had a place. Here their children learned self-defense. Self-esteem. How to care for themselves, and for others. How to undo traps, and avoid harm. And most of all, learned there were those out there that truly cared, no matter what species they were. -- DaniAndShali

Over a stretch of cursed ground that birth monsters and host phantoms, inside a mountain that howls whenever the wind blows, beneath a crevice lit only by rare and dangerous
