Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Sunday, Day 0, Shenanigans

Plague news:

  • 15 050 new cases
  • 84 807 total active cases
  • 884 hospitalisations
  • 52 in the ICU
  • 23 deaths
  • 8 096 total cases in First Nations People

Vax news:

  • 335 954 national doses
  • 58 148 Qld doses
  • 8 480 ACT doses
  • 100 781 NSW doses
  • 2 988 NT doses
  • 24 409 SA doses
  • 6 930 Tas doses
  • 92 697 Vic doses
  • 41 521 WA doses

Two of those Qld doses are myself and my Beloved. That's right! We've had our boosters. Huzzah.

I shall see how much it kicks my butt this time around.

Once more, I don't have many plans than be gentle to myself and get plenty of what my bod needs.

I might be sleeping a lot more. I certainly feel more tired more easily.

In insult-to-injury news, I have the world's tiniest and most painful zit on my left eyelid. RIGHT where I can't properly zap it. Dangit.

My day promises to be "fun".

In the news:

  • There's a newer, more virulent variant of Omicron and they still don't know if it's deadlier or not. Yay
  • Satellite pics show Russia on the warpath again
  • Arnold Schwartzenegger in 4-vehicle crash
  • Owner of 8K homes says there's an economic crisis and recommends Aussies get a "small loan" from their billionaire dads to weather the crisis [half-kidding, I didn't read the article but most of their advice is like this]
  • Meat Loaf was an antivaxxer before the plague hit
  • Solar power will account for half of the US power grid this year

Watch for Tale Foundry on Twitch, and when they announce this week's prompt, that's when I gear up to start my stream.

Challenge #03310-I022: What Worries Most

Lilicoon talks to her therapist about the request for a date by someone she cares for quite a bit, and her fear and confusion because of it.

Lilicoon flexed her fingers in her current crochet piece. It was an instinctual comfort motion from the feline side of her genetics, and therefore unstoppable. Having something soft to flex her new hands in was a boon for her.

Challenge #03309-I021: A Creeping Affection

She viewed him as a friend, though at first he was just an annoyance. She saw he had learned so much and was willing to open his mind, and not just act like all the other human men she'd known before the Wish sent her here. Maybe, one day, they could become best friends, for in her view he was starting to feel more like having a lunkhead, if but a very kind one, of a brother, little by little. Maybe, one

Challenge #03308-I020: Repaid in Full

Though he never knew how many lived there, he'd saved well over 500 lives. Saving that small village by discovering a cure for a plague had become his deepest desire. He'd saved them not because Wraithvine had required him to save lives as penance for his crimes, but because looking into the eyes of the sick children, he swore to every god that would listen he'd rather die than see these people suffer, Wraithvine's requirement bedamned! Cold irony, the cure didn't work

Challenge #03307-I019: The Sword Often Loses

The man was a reluctant killer. Forced by his lord to slay any his lord demanded lest his own family be slain. He was sent after an Elf that, once he heard the name, knew that meant he would never see his family again. Not in this world at least. But the Elf, the mage, was merciful. In swearing to save the man's family, the man swore to find the families of those he had slain, and make sure those families were

Challenge #03306-I018: The Great Leveler

The Humans are dead. A futile effort to go against the almighty. Among the field of the fallen, one rose among the dead. Cloaked in black, it barely had any strength to stand. A barrage of concentrated plasma hit it dead on, as the dust settled, the only thing the barrage did was knock off its hood. It was no human, it lacked any flesh. It was just bones and in its desolate eyes was hazy blue flame. Its jaw opened, spilling

Challenge #03305-I017: One Arrow, No Problems

They enter a village under siege. The village's heavy gates on their walls slammed shut not long after they'd arrived with a near army of zealots and slavers banging at the gates trying to force their way through. This "army" has already destroyed many villages, killed many innocents, and now they were trying to get this one. And worse, this village was backed into a box valley. It may now be up to young Kevin to help save them, along with help

Challenge #03304-I016: Faces of Gratitude

They have rescued thousands of Dereggers over their lifetime. And they are at home with their family bragging. Puffing up their feathers, they are so proud of themselves. They do it, not for money, not for fame, not for recognition, but because they care for the people they've rescued. But that doesn't mean they can't have a proud moment knowing of all those people who now get a new chance at life. -- Anon Guest

Challenge #03303-I015: The Terrors of Human Larvae

Q: How do you terrify a Vorax?

A: Stick them on a ship with a bunch of humans and tell them they're going to have to babysit the toddlers!

This exchange program is going to require the poor Vorax getting a large amount of therapy afterward. -- Anon Guest

[AN: Children should never be seen as punishment. No matter what the circumstances]

There was a nervous peace between the Humans and the Vorax. The Alliance was letting the Humans spread their pack-bonding

Challenge #03302-I014: You Touch, You Die

There's one universal truth. Never get between a set of parents and their children. -- Anon Guest

The Universe has ways of answering the wrong questions. Those who know this never put voice to questions like, "How bad can it get?" or, "What could possibly go wrong?" It also responds to the terminally daft when they say, "It can't possibly get any worse," because the first law of the Universe is that it was NOT made to be kind.

Some Vorax, like
