I'm hanging out with my Archive friends and when they have to go, I shall go annoy my Promptcast friends.
And somewhere in the middle of all that, I'm coming up with a story for today.
TOMORROW, I have to go shopping, so I must extend an invitation to the spawn to go spend their JB HiFi cards.
But today, I can last a bit of a while, so I will get on with today's offerings and trundle off later.
AND there's five chapters to read for Adorable at some point.
Wraithvine comes upon a giant farm where the owner is keeping dozens of slaves. The laws of the kingdom leave the owner’s family a loophole to keep them, but, that won’t stop Wraithvine from doing the right thing, one way or another… -- Deathshead419
There are ways to know a slaver's property before anyone could spot a person in chains. Such as the immense fields that no one family could work, overseen by a large house that no one family

I did politely request a new phone stand for my car. The current jiggery-pokery may not hold. Which promises to be a can of arseholes for yours truly.
I'll find a way to cope. Somehow.

Ageratum had heard of the Hellkin in the dojo. Everyone had seen him from a distance and few dared to get close. Now he was closer than she had ever seen him. He was wearing Adept Black and kneeling where any other class teacher might kneel. Waiting for the class to assemble, in peaceful meditation. Hide as blue as a clear spring

They continue to cherish life, yet could no longer perceive neighbours as living beings. -- Anon Guest
Humans should only become deities in retrospect. It's just safer that way. They do have the saying, Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
But there's always the statistical

I'd still like to see how Antihero slices it down. It'll be a good example for folks.
Meanwhile, I have a twofer to concoct to catch up with the calendar, an ankle to ice, and a lot of crimbo bikkies to help make vanish.
The diet is officially off until all the temptations go away.
Offski to go write two stories in a hurry.

They say that fire cannot harm a Dragon. They also say that heat rarely bothers a Devil. Of the two, Drakkonbred and the red-hide Kobolds are more likely to withstand a given flame. As for the devilborn, the only way

I thought I'd be perfectly okay not bringing my lappy because I thought I wouldn't need it. Spoilers - I was wrong.
Which we did. Followed by UnAI'ing MeMum's email. During which, Beloved rang to get deets for my new phone. Spoilers, should have sent measurements of me old phone.
So my trip home involved a side trip

Happy and safe holidays to y'all. I plan on eating myself stupid before cyclonic rains wash us away.
Huzzah.

The egg gifted, a vision given, please take care of my child. The hatchling loved the human as if she had given birth to it. And loved its human sibling very much to. -- Anon Guest
Time runs away from all of us. We like to believe we have more than we

See if you can sense where an argument was happening about that, folks.
I'll be ready for it next year. I hope.
I have Mayhem doing bread and I

A being that was heavily drugged by their target attacks Jay but, instead of killing them, Jay shows compassion for one who's yet another victim of the target, and only knocks them out so medics can help them recover. -- Anon Guest

My phone battery is inflating. My laptop is misbehaving. There's a threat to our economic stability that may or may not happen and our dear government is planning to make life more complicated and expensive for MeMum.
Hooray.
The laptop drama really got going yesterday when I dragged it and the keyboard to make it go to some Experts in Brisbane to see about a blood issue [I'm fine, my dosages just needed

My name is Tae Devereaux I am a Hematological Dilettante.
To be frank, there's not a lot of jobs that would welcome a vampire. Like, disposal services for Kosher or Halal butchers. Or helping out the blood spatter folks at crime scenes. Sure, we're fast and accurate, but we

BUT I also have to wander into the zombie hordes in order to acquire a small something-something for Beloved.
And I need petrol. Bleh.
'Tis the season to be expensive, alas.
We will survive this. It just feels like I
