Challenge #04933-M184: As You Wish

In an alternate timeline, Earl Valiant Whitekeep catches wind that the elder God Wothyn is regaining strength thanks to the return of his son and his rival. With his wife heavily pregnant, he begs the elder God for help averting the curse. As he's made a deal with the hangman god and worded his request foolishly, this can only end well for everyone not named Valiant Whitekeep. -- Deathshead419

Whitekeep owed allegiance to Tyr by long and ancient tradition. The ancient Warlock may have begged a demon for the power to escape; but Tyr was more trustworthy about justice. Specifically the justice required to keep the Olikents off their collective asses. It was a long-standing tradition that left temples to Tyr all over the Earldom, and not a lot of other temples to anyone else.

Therefore Earl Valiant Stormwight Hallowfine Whitekeep, fourth of his name, had to go out of his way to pray to other gods. Being the Earl, he could not travel anywhere outside his castle without a bodyguard, honour guard, secretary, seneschal, three dogsbodies and at least two of the castle dogs who thought they could be useful. They weren't, but that's dogs for you.

At least his seneschal had researched and knew the way to the nearest Temple of All Gods. Valiant needed all of the gods for this. He was truly that desperate.

Friday, Even Mor Unfucken

There's a lot more culch than I thought there was. A situation not at all helped by the fact that I needed to go on a supply run that included a trip to find long warm socks and slippers so I can keep my fetlocks and toesies warm in the new Nerd Cave.

Which, you might expect, wore me the fuck out.

I am now rested and refreshed. My lovelies are awake and I don't need to fret about waking them. I

Challenge #04932-M183: Suspicious Coded Messages

While transcribing her grandmother’s old handwritten recipes to send to a friend, a girl finds out that the ratios and measurements by pure coincidence match up to a heavily-restricted code, and is immediately flagged for red alert investigation. -- Tergon

Tell me you're in a highly-monitored fascist polity without telling me you're in a highly-monitored fascist polity...

Okay. So. Gamgam's actually my great-great gramma on account of the CEO's Breed 'Em And Weed 'Em policy. Basically have the kids as quickly

Thursday, Even Mor Unfucken

I got the desk part of my craft corner cleaned off. Yay. Which means I have a space to put the sort boxes while I sift through the REST of the craft corner. Culch and SABLE, all sorted into separate categories and stowed safely away.

With every good luck, that will occur today.

It may cost me today's story. I need to do it so the fam can move in.

And at some other point, there will be construction going on, turning

Challenge #04931-M182: One Little Slip

A human decides to go and learn tons of languages. Ends up using the wrong whistling trill and accidentally insults a saurian's ancestors and has to do a dance-style apology ceremony! -- Bridget Kielas-Fecyk

Humans are versatile vocalists. Many are excellent at imitation. A rare few are creepy at being that excellent. Those are the Humans who are encouraged to become linguist, ambassadorial aids, and First Contact consultants.

It's encouraged, not mandatory. Mostly because of Human Zif.

He was one of the

Wednesday, Mor Unfucken

Finally, we are tackling the SABLE in the spare room. To be correct, I am tackling the SABLE in the spare room. Making decisions about what to keep and what to chuck. Sorting them into storage boxes to go into storage until such time as I have a craft area again.

I'm also redistributing Useful Things(tm) to where they can actually be useful. I know. I'm as surprised as you are.

I am currently going through The Plan, which is:

Challenge #04930-M181: Trees in the Way

Wraithvine suddenly loses access to all hir powers for no discernible reason right when it would be very convenient to have them, forcing hir to lean on an alternate source of power. -- Deathshead419

[AN: Considering how Wraithvine has had millennia to multiclass... I might go with anything. This is tangentially related to Important Developments ]

Good news, bad news, good news. Good news, the children were safe and far away from whatever this was by technicality. Bad news, ze couldn't open hir

Challenge #04929-M180: In Daydreams of Daisies

"I disassociate for one afternoon and now I'm MARRIED?!" -- Your Humble Author

Princess Felicitee Miette Trajydiegh Parleighview de Maunterazz had a habit of retreating into her rich fantasy world and letting her body do what Lithonesse trained it to do. It was much more pleasant in her fantasy world, where she did little more but weave daisy crowns for a long, long queue of creatures happy to wait for her next daisy crown.

Everyone who was schooled in Lithonesse had their

Monday, Shenanigannery

The backup reads [or bitch and share] are off because AMitA's showrunner is having another meltdown. Self-inflicted drama. Showrunner and Council have a knack for casting the worst possible light on things.

What they repeatedly refuse to comprehend is that the folks the Council have cast as irredeemable bogeymen... are the people making the most effort to try and help AMitA.

I am procrastinating everything that needs must be done.

In the agenda today:

  • Powerwash the last quarter of the patio
  • Today's

Challenge #04928-M179: Important Developments

Wraithvine and Bibrid take their two young family members to a beautiful lake for swimming lessons, and they get to meet the fly-dragon. Lilbit isn't impressed with water, but loves sunning herself. -- Bridget Kielas-Fecyk

[AN: Callback to Deserved Reward ]

Children need the best protection in the world - knowing how to survive various situations. How to find good food. How to cook it safely. How to preserve some for travel. How to truly use their gifts.

Sunday, Stream, Unfucking, and Conflict

I think the fam is tackling the spare bedroom today. Which contains absolute years of hoarding craft supplies. Which Beloved promised, once upon a time, that she would organise.

Some of my SABLE dates back to the 80's.

See yesterday's blog about emotional attachment to things I spent a lot of money on.

There's also my job of moderating the Promptcast story stream. Which may or may not be a thing because the aforementioned clearing of the SABLE. Which promises to be

Challenge #04927-M178: A-Hunting They Will Go

There are ten stuffed heads in my trophy room right now. Two Game Wardens, Seven Hunters, and a Pure Bred Guernsey Cow

They say, when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. And it's a very apropos statement on the Terran Colony of Libertaria. Where every man is an island and all the homes are bulletproof.

They need to be bulletproof, because every spring is hunting season.

Saturday, Unfuckathon

Can't mod today. The fam has come to evict years of packrattus. It's only now, hours after they arrived, that I have had the chance to sit and type anything about it because I also need the nebuliser.

I've been throwing out a lot of stuff I spent a lot of money on, but turned out to be useless. There's also been a huge amount of technoscrattle unearthed from the packrattus of ages.

My back hurts. My feet hurt. I'm almost certain

Challenge #04926-M177: Damned Foolish Stunt

Tilting at windmills -- Deathshead419

Kosh would have to apologise to Artie for insisting this mobile chair be disposable. Even though the autonomous automaton's face was immobile, it nevertheless managed o convey heatbreak and disappointment when he told it, "The chair won't last long anyway. Just make sure it will last long enough."

He'd have a lot of apologies to make if he survived this.

First and most importantly, to his beloved Cordelia, for making her wait nine months for his return
