Challenge #03997-J345: One Spell From Concerning

A mage, a very strong one, sought out Wraithvine and asked, very politely, if they would be be willing to spar her. She wanted to see how well her abilities matched to the legendary wizard's. Of course, this was a sparring match, not a full-blown wizard's duel where one was trying to kill the other, so while tiring, it would be safe enough. -- Anon Guest

For training purposes, no Wizard of a higher level is permitted to use harmful spells on their junior. Since Wraithvine has been learning and growing in power since the dawn of history[1], that meant only harmless spells could be used. Which gave Krajamar the Spectacular an opportunity to use some of the heavy lifters.

Spells that froze the body, silenced an area, transformed the opponent into something harmless and non-verbal. Spells that ruined fine co-ordination, or slowed time in an area. Spells that created darkness or caused confusion, or even enfeebled the mind or body. And, of course, prepared scrolls to clean up the area from rampant, wild, and clashing magics after it was all done. The first Wizard to run out of spells or become incapacitated was the one to lose.

The spectators, of course, were in bubbles of invulnerability for the duration.

Sunday, Stream Stuff and Things

I just finished the game stream, and am doing my pre-literature stretchies. Following Tale Foundry's stream, I shall get on with the daily tale.

Chapter Count: Finished Ch 352, about to commence 353. Getting closer and closer to my arbitrary limit where I believe I should wrap things up and finish up the dang STORY.

But I also have some plot to resolve in there as well, so I'm not going to rush too hard. And there's a lot of book 4

Challenge #03996-J344: Artefacts of Reverence

When Wraithvine, Lilbit, Gikka, and their immortal dragon friend who's disguised as a little imp, go through a town, they see an unusual sigh. Wraithvine's hat is everywhere in toy shops. But it's not as a hat... but as a stuffed doll for little kids. -- Anon Guest

[AN: Two nitpicks. The Dragon disguised themself as a Gnome, and a hat is more likely to be a dress-up accessory than a stuffie. I carry on.]

The world had changed. That was its

Saturday, Parkrun Without QPP

Beloved and Adorable are in foreign climes, so it was just Chaos and I for the parkrun. Mayhem doesn't want to join the cult the activity and that's his choice.

Sigh.

The good news is that APM is getting Mayhem some saleable work skills. I already put my hand up for anything he can teach me. You never know what might come in handy.

I'm doing my stretchies before moving on to my daily offerings. In between Jolie smudging for attention, because

Challenge #03995-J343: How to Leave Without Notice

Jay is approached by his supervisor with offer of lessons to tend to kids, and to treat injuries. Next few assignments might need the knowledge. -- DaniAndShali

"I don't really know what I can teach," said Jay. "I know what I survived, but..." He trailed off, resuming his usual performance of attempted invisibility. An old habit from his time before he escaped.

"That's what you can teach," said Counsellor Tye retained hir normal calm affect. Being the island of tranquility in the

Friday, Finishing Preparations

I did one thing I've been planning to do for literal years and it's a Crimbo present. Yay. Not saying anything more about that because spoilers. I can only hope that it's welcome when received.

I've done my stretchies, cleaned out the catio, and fed the felines. In a few short minutes, I shall start with my regular nonsense. Including the Stencyl stuff and some chapter recordings. AND The Bikkie.

I am not going anywhere and doing very much but my work

Challenge #03994-J342: Another Game of Tag

A swift deathworlder with a strong ship refuses to believe humans cannot be escaped if someone simply TRIES hard enough. They make a challenge. 1 v 1, any person - except a lucker or pax humanis - can be chosen for this. The challenge? They get 1 day head start and the human has the equivalent of one month to catch them. The gambling on this went wild. -- Anon Guest

One average, ordinary, everyday Human accountant with access to any everyday

Thursday, Tyre Resolution Impending

I have until three this afternoon to get my shit together and present my offerings to the temple of notes.

THEN I poddle off and maybe get my tyre fixed. And perhaps work on another chapter of A Devil's Tale.

I just finished chapter 350 by the way.

I detailed my epic tyre shenanigans over on my Wordpress which was a frustrating fury at the time. Especially with the clock running out for Mayhem's appointment.

I should have the wherewithall to record

Challenge #03993-J341: The War on Plague

The entire city is on lockdown. The spotted sickness has come. They were calling to all who were willing, please help. -- Anon Guest

The disease was a terror. The young could survive it, true, but if they were too young, it could kill them. Similarly, if they were too old, it could also killed. Those lucky to survive could be scarred for life. Rendered blind, deaf, or pock-marked from their encounter. Some were turned simple from the fever. Some were impaired

Wednesday, Wordpress and Tyre Things

I'm going to pop up to the shops for a small couple of things. So it's ideal to get the tyre looked at.

Mayhem has a job-related appointment this afternoon. I can only hope that the tyre is set to rights before I need to go a-roving.

Cross your fingers. I am offski very soonish to go place and do thing.

With all good luck, the offerings should be arriving relatively close to what passes for "on time" with me.

Let's see

Challenge #03992-J340: Permission Sought

Un galáctico pregunta a Jay y Lilicoon si pueden pintar un retrato de los dos. -- Anon Guest

[AN: Translation care of the Duck of Wisdom - A galactic asks Jay and Lilicoon if they can paint a portrait of the two.]

"Uh... how do I explain this?" Jay nervously reached to touch his braces. "My time is... uhm. Strictly regimented."

"Oh, yes of course. I'm more requesting permission to use your images for a painting," the artist, her Information Browns spattered

Tuesday, Patreon and Tyre Shenanigans

There is something wrong with one of my practically-new tyres :P So I have to go to a tyre place to get it checked out at a later point in time.

If I have to run out and get a thing, that's when I'll go. Try to keep as much of my money as I can for as long as I'm able. That sort of thing.

I've done my stretchies, and I shall be scattering progress all over my Patreon in just

Challenge #03991-J339: A Gentle Intervention

Wraithvine, Lilibit, and Gikka meet a person who is deep in depression and drinking themselves into an early grave. And stops them before they end up destroying their life. -- Anon Guest

Gikka didn't dip into the Hellkin's pockets. One of the rules of Wraithvine was not to steal from people who were already going through enough. Hellkin were automatically in that category most of the time, but this one was having a worse time than normal.

She was drunk and unhappy,

Monday, Supplemental Expedition

I have a list. I have hopes that I will be able to fill it out today with little in the way of trouble.

Just a few things. Should be easy.

Never firkin is.

Also kind'a sorta sick of poking the kids into thinking of others during the season. One last half-hearted nudge and I surrender.

Let them do as they whist.

I am going to head offski to the shops RSN. Local supermarket should have everything I'm looking for, all being

Challenge #03990-J338: Satisfying, Needed, and Appreciated

The former CEO surprises everyone and is very happy in their new life. Glad they made this choice.

The biggest adjustment in existence is moving from a life that is empty, to one that is full. There was no room for boredom in ex-executive Ptolomaeus Dandalo's new life. There was little room for hir full name, given how busy ze was in hir new home. Ze called hirself Tol, and loved the irony
