Challenge #04186-K168: Calculated Risk

They warn knomiras time and again not to touch the pretty plants. And, yet again, they get to deal with complaining and screaming while treating injured hands. -- Anon Guest

Some exhibits are a nightmare. The slow-moving cruise vessels housing them are literally made for the exhibits. Kept in excellent condition by the crew and staff. It's not the exhibits that are the problem. It's the people who pay to share the experience presented.

"I paid to see these plants," insisted the current problem. "I paid premium. In advance. You have no right to turn me away based on some... stupid word salad."

Said word salad included terms like 'toxic', 'pathogens', and 'airborne particles'. It also included terms like 'avoid physical contact' or 'stay behind the yellow line' as well as frequent uses of 'for your own safety'. There were no words in there that an Alliance citizen with an average education could not understand. The doorkeeper on the admissions desk checked the metadata with their ticket. Oh. Oh shit.

So when this kid, barely into their teens, confronts Wraithvine with a head filled with the lies they were told their entire young life, well, what's a caring, fairly kind, wizard to do? -- Anon Guest

Even the organisations with the best of intentions have their dropouts. They try their best,

Challenge #03318-I030: A Dangerously Bold Sparkling White

An alcohol maker of great renown was kind and warm. They were also insanely skilled with their craft, being able to make any kind of drink imaginable, and without any use of magic at all. Of course, unfortunately, their reputation got around, so they did, sometimes, have to deal with very arrogant individuals demanding to know their secrets, demanding that they work for only one person or another and "not to share these drinks with the peasantry for they did not deserve

Challenge #00984-B253: Party Zone, Fun City.

Party zone, fun city, playtime for (so called adults). You can concentrate on either the goings on or the consequences. -- Anon Guest

[AN: Hope you don't mind, but I fixed the obvious typos]

You could call it a fun park, but it was closer to being an entire metropolis at this stage. They called it Fun City, and it contained every kind of enjoyment there was for an adult to indulge in.

Zimmerman to be charged in killing of Trayvon Martin

Zimmerman to be charged in killing of Trayvon Martin

Took them long enough.

I’d like to say, “better late than never,” but there’s also the hundreds [if not thousands] of other deaths caused by pallid police shooting at innocent brown people. There’s too many of those and not enough outrage IMO.
