Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Challenge #05053-M304: Up to the Challenge

National delicacy. That includes Local favorites. -- Knitnan

Newcomers to the Everdark are always surprised to learn how easily beasts can become Dire down there. Most commonly, the slugs often become Dire in the deeper caves and caverns. There's bats, too. Amongst many other creatures not also common on the surface.

There's just something about the fungi the grows down there. It does things to animals. And bugs. And other invertebrates. Oddly, though, the intelligent creatures are immune.

It might be luck. It might be a decision from the gods. After all, nobody wants to see what a Dire Dragon might be like.

Saturday, Stream Stuff and Nonsense

The Promptcast is doing another Booked For Friday. I actually have too much breakfast for breakfast this morning. A trial not helped by the Morbs weighing me down

I might end up throwing my toast to the birds.

Blargh.

I shall try nonetheless.

I finished the storyline of Dressmaker yesterday, so now I am compelled to fill out all the achievements. I also want to do well on the one dress I fucked up, so I will be playing the storyline again.

Challenge #05052-M303: Underground Business

Being a human that moved into an underground city of teufellen and other races that other humans treat as unwanted, I thought I was going to be mistreated as they are above ground. But they have treated me more kindly, more humanely, than any of my own race ever have my entire life. -- BKF

[AN: Spelling corrected for one species]

Here, away from the sun, I am just a skilled crafter of fine objects. Silver, gold, copper... I will make things

Friday, Battling the Morbs

The Weight(tm) came over me as I was arranging coffee and pills this morning. I wish I knew what was dragging me down so I could make certain it was going to fuck off.

And this was before I found out that Patrick Stewart has passed on.

I will be seeing to my stupid fucking ankle and doing the daily tale, and a few household tasks... but I'm already fighting gravity while doing it.

I'm trying to get fitter. Curing this

Challenge #05051-M302: From Rags...

No noble blood have I- no kin to the blue devils of Whitekeep. But still, I will be a knight, and act as one as nobly as I can. -- Weirdlet

Chivalry's earliest memory was watching the knights training. If ze was lucky, there'd be food ze could filch without coming to harm. They were magnificent. They were amazing. They were wealthy beyond young Chivalry's dreams... and ze was an orphan tolerated by the local roadhaus because ze cleaned up all the

Thursday, On top of things?

I have the Promptcast thing done. I have a schedule to maintain my stupid fucking ankle. I still have creeping Morbs weighing me down but I am convincing myself that getting things done a smidge quicker might give me playing-around time.

Zoning out on distractions is not helping with that agenda.

Trying to get a story done before I need to treat my stupid fucking ankle again. Hopefully, I shall have time to play some Dressmaker.

Let's get on with that.

Challenge #05050-M301: Odd Justice

The world judges a person by their appearance. I've stopped apologizing about mine a long time ago. -- BKF

"There are old Teufellen and there are bold Teufellen. There are very few old, bold Teufellen," lectured the old Hellkin to Risk, who he had caught trying to pickpocket. "As far as I know, I'm the only one who's both. So. Before I call the Watch about you..."

Risk didn't let him get any further. Ze put on the mummer's tears and sobbed,

Wednesday, Physio and other PLNs

I have a Promptcast thing to edit, physio today, and a blog post to at least attempt to arrange. Because of Promptcast shenanigans, I have to move my future appointments around. Small beans in the grand scheme of things.

But now my Wednesdays are fully booked out. I can move the Physio to Tuesdays and not worry too hard.

But today... I will not have time for breakfast until it's closer to lunch.

'Tis the way of things, alas.

One day, I

Challenge #05049-M300: Must Love Cats

The helpful fae of the house mourned when the elderly resident passed. They, however, had the three young cats that the person had deeply loved to take care of. And a house to tend. -- BKF

The house was as still and quiet as the dead. Which made sense, since the person who owned it had died, leaving it vacant. Well. Vacant if you didn't count her beloved cats. They slept on her bed, hunted the mice and pests, and were very

Tuesday, Moving Forward on Big PLNs

I am stocking up on stuff and things today. I also PLN on finishing off the Promptcast thing, working on rewriting ADT, and the daily tale. Yay.

If I have the spoons, I have to also work on Weird Writer Wednesday, and put in some things for my Patreon patrons.

Yes, I know I have to space things out. No, I'm not sure how I can do that when I also need to traipse around Meatspace for hours and hours. Yes, I

Challenge #05048-M299: Following Misunderstanding

"Why didn't you kill me, I attacked you." You were under the influence of drink and whatever it was you were taking. You were not in your right mind, but now it's time you got cleaned up. -- BKF

It's nigh universally agreed that there are good and bad ways to return to consciousness. For example - it is very good to awaken in a comfortable bed with the company of one's choice and pleasant smells on the gentle breeze. On the

Monday, Bracing For Shopping

I need to get stuff and things, so I shall be braving the exterior and shopping centres during the Halloween/Christmas crush.

Yay.

On top of all my other physical BS, navigating the heat and the crazy crowds is not my number one thing to do. I'll survive it because I have to.

I'll be bitching the entire time and likely need a post-expedition nap, but I can do it.

Today's PLN includes 500 words into my Promptcast entry as well as

Challenge #05047-M298: Rough Landing

"Why are your eyes watering like that?" Oh, it's nothing, just my allergies. -- BKF

[AN/PSA: Denial of emotional expression is a toxic social enforcement and needs to die]

"Mama? Are you crying?" My sensitive little darling, Xin, had found me. I couldn't tell them. Not yet.

I startled, rushing to soak up the leakage from my eyes. "It's pollen," I lied. "Got my face going funny."

Xin was four and cried when they couldn't find their favourite soft toy. Or

Sunday, Stream Stuff and Nonsense

The Promptcast will be launching in a few short hours, and I shall be moderating the chat.

The PLNs today include the moderating, the daily tale, and whatever nonsense I can cook up for Weird Writer Wednesday.

Pondering my recovery and health is looking like it's going to be a process. Including a change of diet and some form of exercise to build up what I can of my body.

(Slight bit peeved that asking for help received minimal effort from Beloved,

Challenge #05046-M297: Cursed Mistake

The elf was placed under two strong curses. They could not die no matter what, and any time they tried to meditate, they fell into a deep sleep, dreams and all. -- BKF

Immortality isn't always a blessing. It isn't an accident, either. On rare occasions, it is truly a curse.

Once upon a time, a mighty hero slayed a Dragon. This would normally be something welcomed as a legend in their own lifetime. Alas, this was the Dragon God of Equity.
