Challenge #02892-G335: An Encounter to Remember

Hey, InterNutter? Do you think we could get the enemy's view of this? I mean, seeing a human tripping big time on stims rushing their camp like that? I mean, some of the enemy survived to report the counter, right? That might be fun to see. Please?

They'd missed one. They'd missed more than one, and they knew it. But it was one that was dangerous. They were barely glimpsed, but all footage identified it as the same Human. Traces left behind were horrifying.

The wings of a local bird, torn off with Human teeth. Deceased troop members, smashed to death with blunt instruments that included rocks, sticks, and bare fists, as evidenced by the blood left on the scenes. Some deceased troop members had also been partially devoured. Pulled apart with hands and teeth.

Some reported terrifying cries in the night. Some footage showed a being moving impossibly fast, with impossible aggression, destroying everything in their path, freeing up fellow Humans that they had held captive. Even more terrifying was that the chief aggressor could haul away injured Humans on an improvised sled on their own. With the weight of five Humans and supplies piled on by the walking wounded allies.

Thursday, Day One, School Hols

Miss Chaos is no longer required to operate on a schedule. Which means that... she was up and full of beans at the usual hour to be so.

I had assumed my own sleeping hours being frelled to hell. What with being awake during some horribly small hours in the morning, before going back to bed. Surprise surprise, I woke up at a little past six. Wow.

I may function better on a weird series of naps. Pity they don't gel with

Challenge #02891-G334: A Precision Instrument

He sits upon a seat on the balcony over-looking moonlit gardens. From behind a curtain, a young man comes, blade drawn, to take his life. Oddly enough, while there were some guards, he actually waved them away and asked the lad to come closer so he could have a talk with the young assassin.

"I currently rule as king amongst my people. We have the Cardinal Law, ensuring that no one, no matter how poor they are, is left without at least

Wednesday, Day Zero, Last Day of School

SIX gorram cases, all from overseas. The Yule Flood probably won't end until half-past january, Twenty-one active cases. I am very nervous about this.

Today's agenda includes going through the chest freezer for everything inedible, unwanted, and just plain old. We need more room in there for the party stuff.

In the news:

  • China's plan to punish Australia by not buying Aussie stuff backfires
  • Murder victim Allecha Boyd finally found
  • Ghislaine Maxwell suffering in prison, boo hoo
  • Muppet press secretary goes after

Challenge #02890-G333: With Double-edged Blade

People call them the Judge. There are other nicknames for this being, of course. Justice. Equalizer. Balance. Redemption. All of these and more their names are through all eternity. A being who watches the world feeling no pain nor pleasure at what is seen. A being who feels no love, nor do they feel hate. They can feel respect, and honor. Kindness and compassion. But also can they feel disappointment and anger. Their job, from the time of their creation, was to

Monday, Day Zero, Doubts

Though someone has had a definite go at the extant "fudge like" I have been told that it's not fudge, it's not nice, it's not great... et cetera.

I'm wondering if I should stop here. It might be smarter.

...but I'm not always smart.

In the "day zero" part of today's blog title, we have two new cases putting the total up to thirteen active cases. Miss Chaos is going to be wearing her mask on the bus for her last week

Monday, Day Zero, PLNs

One of the two cases today was acquired in quarantine. Both are in quarantine, but there's still thirteen cases and acquisition from quarantine is possible.

There's cases coming in from South Australia and into other areas. People are determined to be able to travel for Christmas, but seemingly unwilling to do the things necessary to make SURE they can travel for Christmas.

In the headlines:

  • Conspiracists attempting to prove Covid hospitals are fake end up showing empty wards in non-emergency areas
  • Muppet

Tuesday, Day Zero, Dentistry

I'm seeing the dentist later on this morrow, so I'm certain to be lightly toasted before sunset. Gonna remember to brush my teeth more often, I swear.

Not in my favour that I swear that regularly, and keep breaking that vow through pure absent-mindedness. I have more delightful things to do than smear my mouth with mint.

At least I don't have a lot of plaque...

I finished the smol tale in which I made myself cry. Watch for it on my

Challenge #02889-G332: Not Approved Progress

Now we are all sons of bitches - Kenneth Bainbridge, after testing the first nuclear bomb -- Anon Guest

[AN: I've been made aware of the Shiva quote, but that happened after the detonation in war as far as I recall]

Destruction. Devastation. Brutal elimination of the enemy, their buildings, their society. That has always been the ultimate goal of war. Winning, however, has gone further than razing the enemy castle and salting the ground so that they can no longer prosper.

Challenge #02888-G331: Unconscionable Prevention

Imagine a world where people are required to get vaccinated, required to wear masks and take precautions if there's an outbreak, and are given universal healthcare and a basic universal income. Now imagine that these rules are enforced by law. If people refuse, they are required to be placed in quarantine areas away from the general population due to the risk they pose to the population. Now imagine "pure lifers" coming in. Knowing full well the polity they were trying to move

Sunday, Day Zero, FUDGE!

Two more cases taking the total count up to eleven. Darnit. Still imports, still detected in quarantine. Still having the risk of One Karen to Ruin it All. Sigh.

I messed up two batches of fudge by getting the order wrong. You're supposed to heat up the condensed milk with the butter and then add the shredded chocolate. Doing it the other way around made it turn gritty and look unappealing, but it's still eatable fudge at the end of the day.

Challenge #02887-G330: Conflict Resolution Protocol

153: Pod 153 to Pod 042. How is it going?

042: I am embarrassed.

153: Why is that?

042: I launched a suicide attack, and yet here I am. Still alive. I must look very silly.

153: Do not feel bad about it. We are alive after all. And being alive is just a constant stream of embarrassment.

042: that concept is a bit too abstract for me to understand at this time. I will save in my list of things to

Saturday, Day Zero, Crimbolio Madness

Two cases from overseas, each detected in quarantine, but they do take the active case count up to ten. I dislike double figures in my active case count. One more week of school this year and it's not really worth giving up on the mask for that.

I feel Yulemas Mania approaching and this year... I want to make FUDGE.

I've fallen into a rabbit hole that started with an article about three-ingredient fudge. I've looked at the alternatives, found a recipe

Challenge #02886-G329: Parallels in Babysitting

(My husband, talking about our children's habit of climbing on me before falling asleep)

"The little ones climb the big ones" -- Anon Guest

Even on Havenworlds, there is one rule followed by nature. If you want to keep your young safe, keep them close. Some prefer the strategy of over-breeding so that some survive to adulthood, but that's more of a Deathworlder thing. Given this fact, it is small surprise that the young of any species seek closeness with those who
