It'S A Twofer!

Challenge #04379-K361: It's Just Like Home

A troop of Marines land on a planet they considered "a bit warm". Their enemies never stopped to realize what "a bit warm" meant to humans. -- Anon Guest

[AN: I'm from a country where it regularly gets above fifty celcius during summer. High forties are "a bit warm"... but that kind of depends how thick the air soup gets]

Space Marines have what you might call a... Reputation. Always with the ellipsus and the capital. If you want a polity or group eliminated with extreme prejudice, you call in the Space Marines. Amongst the Space Marines, there's a few subgroups who have a... Reputation. One of them is the group who come from N'Oz.

If you want raw cunning, if you want guile, if you want Space Marines who will pull a Briar Patch Manouvre into places where angels may fear to tread, you want the Space Marines from N'Oz.

One famous example is the Luring of Dagiili.

Challenge #04213-K195: Cordially Invited

A Deregger family with very few funds secretly sends a message to a Gyiik they met once while out on a job for their polity. They ask them to please cater a wedding for their only daughter. -- Anon Guest

Understanding in these situations is key. After all, there is no point in rescuing anyone who doesn't want to be rescued. As far as Deregger polities were concerned, this one was startlingly mild. Most residents within were relatively happy to live there.

Thursday, Aftermaths and Twofer Day

We busted our voices singing the Greatest Hits of Queen among other songs, I consumed WAAAAYYY too much sugar. Great bonding experience all around.

For a majority of yesterday, it was Hurry-Up-And-Wait. Followed by Go-Places-And-Do-Things. So I didn't get many of my offerings out yesterday.

Plus, when I am roaming around the place with the ~~security blanket~~ lappy, my brain goes on "Must write book" mode.

Eh, at least I got some extra verbiage done.

Chapter Count: 3/5ths through Chapter 300.

Sunday, Twofer

I have done Game Night, I have done the Twofer stream. TaleFoundry cancelled because the host has Lurgi. Toasty has cancelled because a need to be kind to themself.

So I have most of Sunday free so I can take a napnap before PathFinder with the rainbow crew. Maybe.

I know what happens when I say I have the rest of the day free. Something comes to EAT that time. So I'm not saying it.

I have nothing further planned than fuckin'

Sunday, Game Nite Twofer

Thanks to assorted shenanigans, I have two games going in a 24-hour period. One will be going a little bit late.

So it's therefore in my best interests to publish my daily offerings and then go the fuck to sleep for the rest of the day.

Let's see how great that goes for me. Luckily, I know where there's a spare caffeine tube.

Speaking of luck - I now have my OG good phone back! I also have a complete stock of

Monday, Self-kindness

Good news! I was not arrested for existing whilst queer. The cops held both sides apart by like ten meters because they really like an easier job.

So the rainbow set yelled at them, and the TERF set decided to condescendingly pity us. Some of them danced to our chants and it was confusing until someone told me they were mocking us.

I thought they were digging our jams.

On the plus side, there were way more rainbow people than TERFs. Something

"Now I have about twenty-five years of experience with practical special effects and building haunted houses for fun parks... this place claims to have real phenomena. Let's take a good look and see what we can copy."

Lots of the phenomena in the house could, indeed, be copied with practical special effects. Where he fell over, though, was searching for the plane
