Challenge #03462-I174: At the Grave of Ostentatious

CEO - "You MUST obey me! Now bring me food, bring me the crops, I'm HUNGRY!"

Former employees - "We're stuck on this world, too, buddy. We grew this food, we'll eat this food. You want to eat, you either start helping out, or you can eat the bland nutripaste crap the replicators make."

CEO - "So why in h--- don't you just KILL me, if you hate me so much??"

Former employees - "Because it's more fun hearing you whine, and because SOME of us are nice enough to hope that you might actually learn, like your wives and kids have, to work WITH us in peace." -- Lessons

They said that the Ostentatious was the ship of dreams. They weren't entirely wrong, it was just that it was the ship of dream. Singular. One man's dream to make the most luxurious space yacht with every possible amenity and the kind of engines that make small minds excited to show them off.

CEO Victor Truman Valerium only took it on one flight. Shortly after he bragged that nothing in the universe could take it down.

Nature hates a vacuum. The universe, full of vacuum, hates blatant displays of hubris. It should surprise nobody that the Ostentatious set forth on her maiden voyage with only the appearance of being fully prepared. With little if anything to do with basic safety precautions, and not enough lifepods. It should also surprise nobody that the ship went down in unsurveyed space whilst the pilot - CEO Valerium - was attempting a maniac manoeuvre that was ill-advised. Even for vessels designed to do it.

Thursday, Catch-up or Slouchtime?

I have all the foodstuff I need. I didn't write any articles for Alfarell yesterday because making badges with Beloved. Today, she's going to work and I am left alone with my imaginings.

Unless Mayhem wants to talk about stuff and things.

I might focus on finishing my Elf stuff. I might not focus at all. I might stumble into playing Factorio all day. Time will tell.

I am having a lot of fun with A Devil's Tale though, so I might

Challenge #03461-I173: One True Sin

Why make a ship's engine sentient given how many ships end up abandoned out in space with the engines, damaged and unable to move, stuck alone drifting in the emptiness with nothing but their thoughts.. and often a lonely, unmourned, death? -- Anon Guest

[AN: You're confusing Gravy Drives with engines. Though some do serve the same purpose. When a ship is abandoned, the Nae'hyn serving her never leave the engine alone if they can help it]

This is space: it has

Wednesday, Wordpress, and Merch Maybe?

I have some Thoughts about the latest bout of Transphobic Stupidity. So that's today's Content Challenge dealt with. I will be ranting. I may be frothing at the mouth.

I am pissed. Be warned.

Beloved has some Badge Making Stuff, which she is using to create some pride pins for her work. Huzzah.

I might wrangle my way into making some Merch Pins for loyal followers or peeps wanting to support me by purchasing merch. I have two symbols and a bunch

Challenge #03460-I172: Well Met Again

Could we have a story where the new young reborn Anthe and the young, highly magic, thief that Wraithvine adopted meet? Maybe they're both at his side at some point? Please?

She was introduced as Gikka Winbelburrough at the next inn. Given good warm food and some relaxing tea. And a very confusing

Tuesday, Patreon and Wuzgunnas

I was gonna find time to cash in all the bottles and cans confounding our carport. That time keeps cycling around. And not arriving.

So, with the forces of determination on my side, I should make some hours to cash in the cans. And, if I'm really lucky about it, do a Costco run to stock up on all kinds of stuff that we've run out of.

Fingers crossed.

If not today, I might make it part of our nonsense tomorrow. Sometimes,

Challenge #03459-I171: This Way Out

On their world....

Good Girls Don't Speak

Good Girls Don't Read

Good Girls Don't Think

Good Girls Clean

Good Girls Cook

Good Girls OBEY...

It's a good thing the transport ship is taking them away... from their world. -- Lessons

Good Girls don't pick up flyers in the exercise yard, but one had stuck to Charissa's foot, so it didn't count. Good Girl's don't read, but this glossy page had no words to read. It had pictures, and arrows, and told a

Challenge #03458-I170: One Post-op Debrief After the Mess

The human is badly wounded, in an ICU drawer, half-conscious, but at peace. They had fought hard, protecting the innocent, and in their heart and mind, what they had suffered, and was recovering from, had been worth it. No lives had been lost. -- Anon Guest

The really great thing about Alliance Medicine was that they had absolutely kicker drugs. Human Wat was effectively floating on a pink cloud of nice, and she was feeling no pain at all. This also meant

Challenge #03457-I169: No Cause For Alarm

They were a Good Lucker, and managed for quite some time to avoid the CRC, the Alliance, and other attempts to find them. They had no intention of joining Pax Humanis. However, like Pax Humanis, using poison, blades, and other methods, avoiding causing any harm to innocents, they worked their way through the universe killing the greedy, the brutal, and the cruel. -- Anon Guest

[AN: Being a Lucker has nothing to do with being a psychopath. However, it could lead to

Saturday, Scavenger Hunt & Shenanigans

Beloved has time to help gather the things for Miss Chaos' next big adventure weekend via school. We might also have the time to do a Bottles and Tinnies run because the bags of Stuff are threatening to overtake the dang carport.

I may also find the time to repair the Kitty Cam like I've been gassing about for the past firkin week. Stop laughing at me in that tone of voice.

Currently doing all the other things whilst on Max. IDK

Challenge #03456-I168: Meet Lilbit

A small stray cat is following Wraithvine around, often trying to climb up hir robes to sit on hir shoulder. And when ze sits down to relax or meditate, the sweet kitty tries to climb in hir lap, constantly purring. -- Anon Guest

Elves do not keep pets the way Humans do. Though there are whispers and dark stories of Elves keeping humans as pets, in a long bygone age, the evidence has yet to be found. Animals live a fraction of

Friday, Unfuckening and Stuff(tm)

Catio cleaning, Starter harvesting, House unfuckening... busy day. At least I got two more articles for Alfarell and one relatively large and very annoying chamber in TaleSpire.

Progress is progress. Even when it's SLOW AS BALLS.

Bit by bit, I will get there.

[I also need to edit in Wraithvine's occasional battles with OCD into hir article.]

Maybe Beloved and I will do the scavenger hunt this weekend. We need to get rattling on that before the time becomes NOW to find

Challenge #03455-I167: Look Upon My Works and Despair

A Deregger, not quite at "gunpoint" but close enough, has to make a deal to allow the Alliance to come in to help clean the mess up on their world before it becomes a grave-world. They're allowed to STAY in power, sorta, but with heavy supervision and lessons on ACTUALLY governing properly. -- Lessons

Picture if you will, a gilded, Faberge bunker. Its owner has heard of Roccoco and thought the style far too bland. If it isn't made of the precious
