Challenge #04800-M051: Paradise is Imperfect

Dragons, Elves, Teufel, Halloblood, Humans, Kobolds, etc, all were welcome at this beautiful spa. Massages, haircuts, scrubbings to help the scales, manicures pedicures, the works. A plaque by the door, both in images and multiple languages read "Long hair trimmings will be made into wigs for those in need, short hair to bundles for bird to make nests. Scales, claws, and nails shed or trimmed shall be ground into fine powder, and mixed into the soil helping the free garden to grow for anyone who's hungry. -- Anon Guest

Those with prejudices kept away from this particular place. Just the sight of some Unwelcome People working the fields was enough to make them go around the peaceful valley. It worked in close association with the hefty Draconic protection runes guarding the entire area from violence.

Draconic runes were far more powerful than Elven ones. Elven runes of protection would merely rebuff attacks. Draconic runes destroyed the weapon and visited harm on the attacker.

That way, the Unwelcome who found the peaceful valley knew they were safe. Many who came wound up staying there, after a bout of tearful begging to whomever was in charge at the time. After they learned that such begging was never necessary, they were quick to be helpful to the valley in any way they could manage.

Challenge #04787-M038: Escape From Injustice

When everything goes wrong for our protagonist, he takes to the seas, hoping to find a new life far from home. But no one can ever really flee from one’s past. -- Deathshead419

"Oh lack-a-day lilly, got bit by the filly! The whole world is hating on me. And so I'm running off to sea!" -- Alfarell children's song.

Fairweather knew she had a stowaway. It wasn't as if there were a lot of hiding places on her old tub. Kid

Challenge #04287-K269: Truly Heroic

Tell me, my student.... what is the difference between a TRUE Hero, and the person many just call a hero?

"I don't know, sir."

It is their heart. For a True Hero does not seek fame or fortune. They do not seek to harm others, no matter what they appear. Their only desire is to aid others whenever possible, and the knowledge they could help be their only reward.

The ones far too many tend to call 'hero'.... are usually far too

Challenge #04097-K079: Help in All Forms

Several humans, in their early teens, had been Master Twii's students. Having graduated from Twii's classes as they entered their late 20's, now went to a Gyiik temple. Their goal? To learn to cook as well as the Gyiiks and the portions they cooked. These humans wanted to start an all-around service where not only did they physically protect others, but also made sure no one ever went hungry. -- Anon Guest

There's one advantage that Gyiik's have as Heavyworlders[1] inside

Sunday, Bread Again

I have good news identical to the bad news: The bread is so delicious that the family can't stay away from it.

My loaves got a little burned, but that is a timing issue. The second one is just a little doughy on the bottom, and that's another timing issue. The dough's still stiff and hard to manage, so for the final experiment, I am in mid-process of an 80% hydration batch with the chia soaking.

I'm also using some metal tins

Thursday, Today I'm Learnding

Today's the day I don't have much else going on, so I shall be dragging myself through A Basic Accomplishment in A Free Software, with the long-term goal of Doing A Thing.

I have animation projects in the back of my head and the potential to actually make them be real in my future. It's all up to what I'm capable of doing and how frustrated I get with it in the process. I'm a stubborn bean so it might actually be

Challenge #02520-F330: Teach to Learn

You know the one student that's always alone? The one student that, for some reason, just seems unable to make any friends? Often they're bullied while everyone else turns a blind eye even when they ask for help. A student can turn one of many ways in this kind of situation. They can turn into a killer, they can harm themselves, they can bottle it up and explode later, or, for the unusual few, it can make them even gentler even when
