Challenge #05021-M272: Honing All Weapons

Mr Sunshine teaches a person to defend themselves in a very dangerous polity. -- BKF

The hunter surveys what should be his prey. Timid and twitchy. Hunched as if to hide. Keeping close to the walls and the shadows, much like a mouse hoping to remain unobserved and thereby unattacked.

That sort of behaviour drew in predators like honey drew in flies.

Mr. Sunshine could tell that his host, Raf, knew that Sunshine was a dangerous man. It was all in the way Raf froze whenever Sunshine moved. So much like a prey animal hoping it would not get pounced on.

Tuesday, Some Difficulties in Proceeding

I think I'll be able to have five more chapters by this Friday, but... If not, I shall stretch out my supply to one per week.

I am planning to finish off my Promptcast entry for this week, so that will be something. I would like an approval for the latest added material before I charge on with more revised chapters.

The hinderance - the group reading through it with me are caught up in other shenanigans. I need them to really

Challenge #05020-M271: Support Animal

A small havenworlder has a highly trained Saint Bernard as their mount, their protection, and their friend. -- BKF

Humanity had the same joke for large dogs for centuries: "Put a saddle on that thing," they would say, or, "Have you tried riding it yet?" And for centuries it got at least a sympathy chuckle. Until Humanity met species that actually could ride those things.

Tiny Havenworlders using enormous dog breeds as mounts and personal security became commonplace almost overnight. Often the

Monday, Writing Group Stuff and Nonsense

I am officially on the task of chasing my AMitA alumni into writing 2500 words each. With the extra bonus of the Dialogue Clearinghouse Sweepstakes. Three pieces of dialogue have been handed out to us. No voting, just use what fits you best.

But secret points for using them all.

So... because of one of the offered lines, I am dusting off Compte Dragomyr.

The line in question: "Do you want vampires? Because this is how we get vampires."

Styxx wanted a

Challenge #05019-M270: Exploited Loophole

It is tradition that for Boxing Day, the masters of the house trade jobs with the servants. For one day, the servant gives the orders and the master obeys. Unfortunately for the king, his servants are very pissed off this year, and feel like this is an excellent excuse for a coup. -- Tergon

Trickster's Day. The day after Midwinterfeast. The time of year that the authority of the

Challenge #05018-M269: Far-Reaching Kindness

The therapists struggled to try to get them to care about their own life, at least a little. Their self-sacrificing, working to aid others to the point of detriment to their health had become starkly noticeable to say the least. Then Jay came in to talk to them, and soon left angry, and began hunting. -- BKF

Civilisation is relative, depending entirely on those naming it such. This is doubly so in the Edge Territories, where some species view their Ship's Human

Saturday, Modding and PLNs

I am currently moderating the chat for Hold My Pen, but the PLN is to catalogue another handful of comics before working on another chapter of A Devil's Tale.

Of course, that happens after the daily story.

The good news is that I am rocketting along with the ADT rewrite, and my dollar tier Patreon patrons are going to feast.

Fingers crossed, I shall have the spoons for other things, but those are the goals.

...and at some point, I have to

Challenge #05017-M268: Time to Smell the Flowers

I've watched over this house a long time, never had problems with inhabitants being a problem until now. This human keeps pushing themselves finishing all the work. I like having something to do, so I'm going to start slipping something in their evening tea to make them sleep, so I can have work, too. -- BKF

[AN: May be in relation to Little Tricks ]

Some people have no clue. They're not willfully ignorant or under-educated. They know what they need to know

Friday, Lucre Fugit

I had money yesterday, and then I went out to (a) chase paperwork, and (b) gather a few essentials along the way. At least I have enough to pay for my next Physio visit.

Today, I hope to catalogue more comics when I'm done with the daily tale. I may or may not download a version of my cover art.

...and I should probably post something on my Patreon.

I do have ten chapters done. I can post five a week so

Challenge #05016-M267: Its Inventor's Voice

A human listens to a very strange, and ancient, device. A music player that uses cylinder shaped medium. -- BKF

If there is one truth in the Galactic Alliance, it is that the Archivaas will preserve, restore, and archive everything. Anything and everything Humanity made, at first, but then everything and anything that Humanity encountered. Documents, recordings, items, and sometimes animals.

Every kind of media and every means of experiencing it.

It's easy to get lost in their mega-complexes, so they take

Thursday, Shopping, Doctor's, and Maybe Other Things

I'm getting paperwork for my afflictions in an attempt to get on the disability pension so we all have income to support the household. It might not work, but it's worth a shot.

There's also a writer's grant that I need to look up again and figure out. Also worth a shot.

We don't know when money will be available again, so having multiple incomes will be an improvement on that noise. Looking at things, I'll have to think about what I'm

Challenge #05015-M266: Let it Shine

the voice of a devil, in this sacred place- doesn’t sound much different than an angel -- Weirdlet

The Dawn Lord, known in the northern realms as Albavaljeta[1], is well known as the god of life, rebirth, new beginnings, and sometimes also fertility. So it's understandable that their temples often become alternate depositories for unwanted babies[2].

It's far from unusual to see the temple grounds being maintained by young acolytes of Halfbreds of the Unwelcome People. And Hellkin of

Wednesday, PLNs Almost Underway

I successfully rendered human flesh [but stuff still happened]... so now on my agenda are:

  • concrete chunks
  • the mask
  • hair
  • cheap-ass rain poncho
  • Rendering the sky will be relatively easy in comparison to all the other horseshit I've been playing with

And the mandatory daily tale. I may even have the spoons to work on a revised chapter or two. I can hope.

One or two features of the cover, a little reworking, and your daily entertainment. Sounds easy.

Let's see how

Challenge #05014-M265: Message in Threads

What you wear is a statement. Especially if you go to Renfairs -- Knitnan.

Sparknight began as a foundry for peace between Nanogh and Mundis Mortalidae. The Plane of Magic and the Mortal Plane. The mortal nobility were charged with attending by invitation in their most extravagant wear. The Arch-Elves of Nanogh were charged with the lighting that would show it off for a maximum of aesthetic appreciation.

The mortals either didn't know or chose to ignore that the Sprites providing that
