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 course.

The young charges of the temple should be seen, but not heard by the public. They sweep the grounds, tend the gardens, and cook the simple meals. Those adept at their letters copy books and keep the library. Only the acceptable Halfbreds are permitted to join the choir. The Unwelcome at the temple should remain quiet in public places.

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

Tuesday, Pushing Myself a Bit

We can't afford to laundromat, so washing must be done in-house. And if I want the washing I gathered up months ago to get done, I'm the only one who can do it. Huzzah?

Gotta count my cheevs because otherwise I will wind up crying.

One wash done. Lovelies offski to parts unknown, mission also unknown. Breakfast dealt with. Coffee et cetera taken care of. Emails done. [Not thinking about the comics cataloguing, the book, whether or not I've got anything for

Challenge #05013-M264: Secrets Kept Sacred

The midwives’ guild has seen some strange things- and sometimes discretion is the most important thing they can offer -- Weirdlet

When is a Guild not a Guild? When it has no chapterhouses, no schools, and little in the way of formal prenticeships. When there is no set uniform and the tools are those that the practitioners find handy, and are only available locally. Where the school is at two pairs of knees, and one is the patient. Yet, despite all of

Monday, Ill Weather Due

Be warned: I am planning a haircut. Why this is relevant is because I have inherited my father's curse. Every time he cut his hair, the local area would get a shitload of terribad weather phenomena.

So yeah. I am going to get some tasks done and then get Adorable to re-cut my undercut so I'm prepared for the rising temperatures.

Then I get on with today's story and refining a new chapter in ADT.

Huzzah.

Onwards to my cunning PLN.

Challenge #05012-M263: Surprise Royal Appointment

Dex and his family are invited to a surprise party for a local group of kids who admitted they'd never had a birthday party before. -- BKF

Many children attending the Arachismont Public School went by one name. Many also stayed in the attached boardinghouse and went home for the weekend. It was an initiative so that many children could interact with their contemporaries as normal. There were no ranks beyond personal accomplishment. Those who were ahead were expected to help those

Sunday, No Stream, Other Shenanigans

Izzy, prime host and main draw for the Promptcast, is down with an illness. Other hosts are unavailable, so there's no stream this week. Boo and hiss, but also well-wishes for Izzy's speedy recovery.

I am up since 1AM today, because early nap yesterday because of Emotional Wringer the day before.

I knew my sleep schedule would be fucked. I'm using it to my advantage when and how I can.

For instance - I have already written the thing for this upcoming

Challenge #05011-M262: DIY Entertainment

Unfortunately, the Ship's Human was bored -- InterNutter

Long haul missions are no place for an active Human. Nevertheless, every ship with business in the Alliance is better off with at least one Ship's Human. The best hope is to have enough enrichment strategies to keep their Human or Humans entertained between destinations.

The crew of the Pack Animal Pilgrim had never thought that a Human could get bored with the enrichment.

They had complete access to the Archivaas' digital library. All

Saturday, Attack of the Morbs

Not feeling so great this morning. Details are... complicated. And a lot of it feels like dirty laundry rn.

I dunno what to do.

I know what I have to do so I'm doing that.

  • Daily tale
  • Moderating the Promptcast's interview thing
  • If I can summon the spoons, working on the cover art
  • OR working on a chapter for the improved ADT

I don't think I'll have the spoons.

Looks like my sleep schedule is about to be fucked up.

hooray

Challenge #05010-M261: Driving Purpose

So tired they could barely think straight, they forced themselves forward, just one more ridge, one more rise... until they collapsed against a beautiful white feline being talking to two individuals wearing bright colors and passed out. -- BKF

One more step. Just get there. Not far now. Lift one foot. Place it in front. Follow the path. Lift the other one. Place it in front. Look up. See the camp.

Goal in sight.

Tents and vehicles spread out in a previously

Friday, Shrink Day and Other Shenanigans

I am talking to my shrink today. I hope to occupy myself with cover art progress during the day. Focus Friend save me. Save me Focus Friend.

...I am way too distractible with bright shiny objects.

Focus Friend is an app that helps me stop playing silly damn games on my phone all fucking day, FYI.

I shall be asking my conspirators online about chapter order. I think changing it soon so that Kosh's chapters are near Delias might be helpful. Pacing

Challenge #05009-M260: Be it Ever so Patchwork

It was stormy and a mixed family of hellkin and haruk'ai were stuck, the wheel of their carriage in the mud. Two kids run out to drag them to the large farmhouse, leading the family's horses to the barn, so they can find rest and shelter. The two kids, still preteens, were trying to care for the farm and what's left of its animals by themselves, their own families, sadly, gone. -- BKF

Unwelcome People are, generally speaking, always prepared to run.

Thursday, Rewriting Shenanigans and Handling Things

I just realised that I've been powering through the rewrites without inserting chapters for Kosh's crew. That's in the process of being fixed.

So today will be devoted to writing a new chapter. After I get today's tale done.

The Promptcast thing is fixed, finished, and off into the aether, so that's one less thing to worry about. Almost got a first page into the new 'crew' chapter done. Huzzah.

I shall get on with today's tale, then finish off the chapter

Challenge #05008-M259: To Learn is to Teach

The exchange program at the magic school has been going swimmingly- but it’s made for some interesting learning experiences well outside the classroom, as different cultures- and species- learn how the other half does magic. -- Weirdlet

War is wearying. It's especially wearying for the longer-lived species that have the alleged privilege of watching several polities repeat the same mistake ad infinitum. It's even more wearying when the mistake is in attacking them.

There's also the creeping dread that one day,
