Challenge #04734-L350: Welcome to Pax Humanis

Such a shame, so YOUNG to be a mass-murder, they're only 10./ "Wait, they're still breathin', tho'."

What? But...such shallow breaths and restraints?/ "Th' nice cat lady an' th' scary guys say use this thingy an' th' bad men won't chase me no more!" -- Anon Guest

Timi had had quite enough of the bad men. They all came to her big house and had a lot more food that Timi and her sisters ever did and they did things to her and her sisters. Once she had a chance, she tipped pest poison into the big soup pot. Fifty dead, fifteen more sick in hospital, twelve running home, and only three left on the scene trying to find who had done it.

Timi was already in the pretty bedrooms, pretending to play with dolls in the cutesy-wootsy frilly pink dress. All things she never got when the bad men weren't there. That was when the scary men found her. They were not bad men, and they looked around the pretty bedroom like they wanted to be sick.

That was what gave them points in Timi's book.

Tuesday, Mor Bikkies, Patreon, and Technical issues

So... my laptop is dying and I know it. My fam has become aware. Even a friendo on the interwebs knows that when I use a laptop, I have to use an attached keyboard with the loud tikkatakka. And even that has moments of fail.

Meanwhilst... I got logged out of my Auspost account and I can't remember the email I used for it.

I got the second batch of crimbo bikkies going off today. We have some experiments in order today,

Challenge #04733-L349: Sensory Overload Episode

They thought it was yet another knomira sitting and screaming not getting their way. But an observant individual sees they're covering their ears and back against a wall. And realize, this isn't a knomira, it's a person who's struggling due to the size and noise of the crowd. -- Lessons

"Stoppit, stoppit, stoppit, stoppit," the voice carried over the hubbub of the crowd. Given that it was a commercial concourse on a nexus station, it was a safe bet that this was

Monday, Backups and Bikkies

The backup reads are on later today, I have collated all the ingredients necessary to make the crimbo ginger bikkies. I just need to wait for a few things. Like for the butter to thaw.

At least there's loads of eggs so I don't need to worry about that for a bit.

I can hope.

They've started into the new bread, so I'm glad I got flour for the next bread. Yay.

I'm waiting for the butter to soften before I start

Challenge #04732-L348: One Taste of Home

The camp was quiet save for the soft sound of weeping. Bibrid, in their guise as gnome, sat next to the young individual and asked what was wrong. The person was homesick, but it would be at least another month or more before they got to see home again. He, of course, listened and his best to be soothing. He understood what it was like to miss one's home. -- Anon Guest

It does a child good to spend some time away

Challenge #04730-L346: Improvised Weaponry

The pirates caught the ship's human in their jammies and socks. The human captured them by shuffling feet on soft surfaces and touching the pirates. The touches leaving painful spots. Rumor spread humans could shoot lightning from their fingers. Those that knew better knew it was just static. -- Fighting Fit

Ships' night is normally a strategic time for space pirates to attack. Unfortunately for these pirates, normal and Humans don't mesh. Human Zorq was in their BVD's and socks when the

Sunday, Stream, Eggs, and Supplies

I am getting two firkin platters of eggs this time. It seems we run out every other day. I'm kind'a sick of going. And because we are close to Crimbo, I'll stock up on a few other things.

Once the stream shenanigans are done with, of course.

I shall attempt to get the story done soon. Distraction has me in its grip, alas.

My knotted shoulder has moved up to a knotted neck. Warmth and Deep Heat aren't doing much and I

Challenge #04731-L347: This Will Pass

It's storming and the kids are scared. Wraithvine calls to Lilbit after confirming the kids have no allergies. The soft purring and pets soon have the children sleeping peacefully. -- Anon Guest

It was definitely a dark and stormy night. Between the lightning flashes, it was black as pitch out there. The wind raged against the mountains and the trees. The thunder shook dust loose from the rafters, and the children were hiding under the tables and shrieking at most peals.

Saturday, Gradual Improvements

We've cleared most of the floor in the laundry room. I've cleared a patch in my bedroom. We will eventually nibble all the issues in the household to bits. Not in time for Christmas, but it might be the new years' new thing.

I'm baking and doughing today. Baking tomorrow, and getting started on the crimbo bikkies the day after that.

Time is getting closer to the big day. Mum's anxious. I'm anxious. Weather bureau says rain in the afternoon of... It's

Friday, Mor Bread and Further PLNs

We're down to the equivalent of one loaf [the kids started a new loaf without finishing an earlier loaf] and that means I gotta make more bread. I also PLN on baking the crimbo bikkies on the 15th.

Dough today, baking and dough tomorrow, baking on the 14th... and different baking on the 15th.

Yay.

At least I have the gift wrapping sorted.

Apart from the gift labels. I'll stop by a dollar shop soon enough and get something.

Story whenever I

Challenge #04729-L345: The Hardest Thing to Learn

The Master-Healer looks upon their apprentice with sadness. "There is one lesson I must teach you yet."

Thursday, Physio and Shopping and Fun

I have physio this morning, the household has PLNs to unfuck the interior. With one day reserved to do one thing as much as possible. I started by putting on a load of washing. I got Chaos rounding up some of the more offensive debris in the laundry room so I don't risk breaking my stupid fucking ankle to put another load on.

There's only a few things I need to get today, so there's a passing chance I can actually save

Challenge #04728-L344: Downtime After the Fray

It's been a long slog, the marines were tired, battered, and just tired of it all. They finally got the word, they were going home. One soldier said all he wanted was a nap, and his favorite snacks. Several havenworlder medics, and some level 1 and 2 deathworlder medics, asked the humans, what kind of snacks? -- Anon Guest

"Roasted, salted cashews," said Marine Blem, who had literally rolled out of her battle-rated livesuit and had yet to extract herself from the

Wednesday, Rant Due and Other Errands

Mayhem ran through the eggs in the effort to make mayonnaise with the wrong oil (: So my agenda today includes an emergency shopping trip for even more eggs, some bulk olive oil, and more firkin wholemeal because the fam is definitely powering through my bread supply.

I may be cooking Crimbo bikkies and bread if I'm not careful. I'll see how I go, closer to the teens of the months.

Fingers crossed.

Meanwhile, I am attempting to do the things I need

Challenge #04727-L343: Earned Adoption

The human family wept, for illness robbed them of being able to have children. The kobold warren nearby decided to trust them and brought a nest of eggs. They loved the young kobolds as deeply as they would their own flesh and blood. And the sorrow was turned to joy. -- Anon Guest

The good news, such as it was, was that Hirren and Aldin had survived the mumps. The bad news was that it had stolen the young couple's ability to
