Challenge #00625 - A260: Original Meaning

Saying something in all earnestness, not realising that it’s been twisted far from what the words actually _mean_ by scum and then used as a warning sign by people more socially aware than you, and that you just marked yourself as one of those scum.

Challenge #00623 - A258: What Do You Mean, 'Going'?

The uselessness of the “reassurance”, which I’ve had given to me in real life, that ‘You know you’re not insane by the fact that you still worry about your sanity’. You could quite easily not realise that you’re currently insane, and still worry about it.

She retreated to the safety of her guide, a robot that was neither apparently male nor female.

The humans inside the enclosure alternately cajoled her for sex and demanded she prove her worth by answering confrontational trivia questions.

Challenge #00621 - A256: Spitballing

I am actually serious here, insofar as one can have a serious discussion about the cost/benefit analysis of destroying the universe.

“There’s only really a benefit if you have a working means to exit the universe, otherwise you destroy yourself in the process.” Paua’tul’xand’l side-eyed her human companion. “You haven’t been experimenting with methods of leaving the universe, have you?”

“I promise I’m not working on it.” Eiridd held

I can’t art. It’s obvious.

Alas, I also lack the resources to purchase pro-level art for a book that will never pay me back.

My usual design consultant [aka best-beloved SO] is too busy to help me before the October 4 publication date.
