Challenge #04822-M073: A Glass For Your Health

Ereshkygal has directed Wraithvine to a most unusual place, a vineyard growing plants partially in the human and fae realms. The wine vintage it produces makes those who imbibe translucent for a few hours with no other effects. It's unclear if this is harmful, no one seems to have been so far, but the Goddess must want something of the unusual vintage… -- Deathshead419

In eons past, say the stories, the Great Dragons pulled stars from the Plane of Magic to toss them into the sky. Those stars fell to the surface of Alfarell and became the world's first Elves. There was still a patch of the world called Faefell. Blue grass grew there, along with interesting crops.

One of those was a remarkably ordinary-looking grape. The vines it sprouted from had taken on Escherian tangles, but the grapes themselves were perfectly mundane.

Wraithvine puzzled at the presence of the vinyard. Yes, this land did contain a lot of the essences of Nanogh. It was evident in the fact that no straight lines could exist within its borders. People had long since given up on trying. Even the grass grew up twisted, and Sprites cavorted freely among the leaves.

Saturday, Hopeful of Recovery

I am testing my ankle today. Today, I am not icing it and see how I go. If all goes well, I'll be testing my ability to go shopping without pain.

The test after that is Parkrun again.

I'll see how I go.

Today, after Mandatory Tale, I shall add a bit to ADT until I either run out of ideas or I run out of words.

And maybe add to some fanfictions on the side.

I'll see how I go, because

Challenge #04821-M072: Drop of Death

Ice from the south pole's glacier which once had been trodden on by a dragon, a diamond stolen from a queen's tiara in the midst of a dance where she finds her love, the lock of a babe's hair taken at midnight whilst the father does paperwork, the tooth of warrior freely given before he wins victory.

What in the world potion will these make? -- Deathshead419

Impossible ingredients make an impossible potion. Something to do that which could not otherwise be

Friday, Bread and PLNs

I have bread in progress since the children have left one loaf remaining of our bread stocks. I have a story to write, I'm helping a mentee prep their tale for the Promptcast, and I have been procrastinating on Chapter Two of Beloved's dream-inspired AI-made thing to read.

[I still think it's vaguely insulting to go up to a writer and say, "Hey, read this thing I made with the help of the slop machine." but I still love my wife and

Challenge #04820-M071: Emergency Response

A mother begs Wraithvine with impassioned letters to cure herself and her children of a debilitating disease. When ze arrives, it turns out that they are suffering from seasonal allergies… -- Deathshead419

The date on the letter was only five days ago. Wraithvine was shocked. The runners in the Order of Couriers really lived up to their name. They had to have a few linked Circles in the Everdark. They couldn't possibly jaunt through the centre of the world.

Could they?

Thursday, Twiddles and Tweaks

I discovered that I accidentally deleted my Madlib Query letter for Adapting so now I'm working on that today. Tomorrow, the yard may be getting mowed. It might need slashing so that's up in the air for the meanwhile.

...and something's gone amiss with my desktop so I have to reboot. But I'm doing an update first to see if that helps.

If not, I go crying to Adorable about the resulting technical issues.

[wish me luck]

It didn't work :P Mostly

Challenge #04819-M070: Extra Biological Sample

They were on a new planet when a strange, furry, oddly docile, creature came up and began to rub against the human's legs. It was cat-like in appearance, though a deep bluish green, and had behaviors similar to earth felines as well. Though it was almost as large as a middle-sized canine, and had five toes on each paw. -- Anon Guest

If there is one law to working with Humans, it must be: Don't leave them unsupervised. You never know what

Wednesday, Write-in, Rant, and Stuff

My GP is worried about too much blood in my blood, so I'm seeing a haemotologist at a much later day. Fun times ahead for this bean. Including more visits to the vampires.

Yay.

I have a patch of story to share on my weekly blog, a story to write for today, and I'm working on the next entry for the Archive. The first version of which was so undynamic I rewrote the whole dang thing. And I'm rewriting it a third

Challenge #04818-M069: Permission to Ask

During court, king Kormwind, tenth of that name, finds himself having a toddler climbing up in his lap and, sucking their thumb, and full of trust, falling asleep. Where are the parents? Near the kitchens exhaustedly trying to handle six other children, most of whom were at that stage of sleepy where they get wilder and grumpy due to being overtired, and trying to figure out where their toddler went. -- Anon Guest

People often thought that only the Nobles lived in

Tuesday, Bills, Patreon and PLNs

Paid the bills. Yay. Have to add supplemental material for my Patrons, which I have yet to write. Boo.

[Instant distraction moment: I discovered that Bill Amend, artist behind the Foxtrot comics, is on Bluesky and sharing silly doodles. Anti-fascist doodles]

I'm procrastinating on recording more chapters for Adorable, so they'll likely appear on my Patreon next week.

I do have some stuff for the Archive to share, but I want to get the thing for the Promptcast to pop up in

Challenge #04817-M068: Serious Play

The village is in pandemonium as it's the winter festival and it's time for the annual snowball fight. Snowballs lightly colored so the color stayed on those struck. Those struck were 'out'. And just to be fair, since the one meant to judge it was down with a very bad cold, Wraithvine was asked to judge it. And ze and hir friends were asked, as well, to come enjoy all the festivities, music, food, and fun the event had to offer. --

Monday, Shopping Day

...as well as everything else.

We need eggs and a whole FUCKBUNCH of other stuff, but I had a little set aside that should cover it. Theoretically, all will be well and I know the cheapest source of whatever so I'm technically okay.

Beloved and Adorable are still looking for gainful employ and I need to see what I can do for Miss Chaos about restoring her MyGov account so she can get Disability. Last I checked on Mayhem, he was Pending

Challenge #04816-M067: Sing Ging Gang Goolie...

Today, my friends, we humans are going to teach you basic camping. Don't worry, we've carefully chosen a place and time here on earth that is as close to havenworld as earth can get. And we have contingencies in case of a storm. We'll do everything we can to make it fun for everyone. -- Anon Guest

Earth has perfectly safe areas. Humans swear blind that there are wild places that are safe for more fragile species. Humans have a regrettable tendency

Challenge #04815-M066: Bride of the Son of the Volcano God

Victoria Constance Emalia Stanford has become enamored with her new husband, the son of the volcano god. He’s handsome, charming, everything she could dream of, and he returns her feelings in kind.
