Challenge #04961-M212: The Ultimate Weapon

Humans accidentally create a weapon that can speed up a black hole's dissolution. Come to find out, black holes have enough material in them to nearly create a second universe. -- BKF

[AN: This has to happen in a different universe to my usual one. It just doesn't fit]

If there is one thing true about Humanity, it's that there's an intense desire for a bigger, better weapon. Not always to use against their eternal enemy - other Humans - but to definitely demonstrate how They had better not mess with Us.

Humanity went from cannons to missiles to sub-orbital nuclear bombs. They invented interstellar flight just to threaten rebel colonies with an even bigger bada-boom.

And so on, as the poet said, ad infinitum.

Friday, Maybe This Time - and a Cat

Waif was scared off by noisy door yesterday. And there's evidence that she found, killed, and consumed a rat. Maybe she can teach my fiends a few things...

The big, awkward, hard-to-shift furniture is up here, in pieces, and everywhere related to "in the way". We will be consolidating our assorted nonsense when it's all up here.

That includes two households worth of cutlery, crockery, cookware, gadgetry, and accoutrements to sift through. Yay.

And I have comics to catalogue [later to sell]

Challenge #04960-M211: Conceptually Cursed

This.

[Image of an anthropomorphic hotdog with Nicholas Cage's face raising both its feet to expose it's lower pinchpoint to the sun. The sun shows a dubious, doubtful expression] -- Tergon

[AN: I don't normally take picture prompts, but I don't have many to spare. You can give me more in the Emergency Prompt Supply of my Discord once I make sure you're not a bot]

"All art is political," said Professor Balend as they put a conceptually cursed image on the

Thursday... And a Cat (We Hope)

Heavy furniture delivered and placed, extra people settling in. There's just a couple of small issues:

  1. The cat - Waif - did not like the truck and bolted while it was there.
  2. Our chest freezer decided to die a couple of days ago.

There is a hope that Waif will come running for her people when the truck is no longer there. Then it's a question on keeping the little menace indoors until we get the greater catio patio accomplished.

The good

Challenge #04959-M210: Made With Feeling

“I was taught that what you approach your work with, it will be infused by. Food made with love, clothing woven with care.

“I think I may have too much fury in me to make what is good for others, for all I care for them.” -- Weirdlet

Rage. Wrath. Fury. There is not much time between when I wake and when I encounter something to be mad about. Not that I'm looking for it, it just... happens that way.

Wednesday, Bread and Truck Day

I got clearance to make bread. My lovelies are getting a truck to move the tricky bits, and this house is going to be CROWDED-crowded.

C-R-O-W-D-E-D.

But it is very good to get back to bread again.

The downside at the moment is the lack of bench space for the bread-making accessories. I foresee this being A Thing for continuing bread adventures.

We will figure things out. Eventually.

My hobby for the day is progressively putting moved food substances away. All the

Challenge #04958-M209: A Grab at Destiny

Eons after the Kingdom fell into ruins, a lost and bastard line scion feels called to return. What will this lost branch of a dead family find in city which became the overgrown crypt of the line? -- Deathshead419

This was where hir dreams lead hir? A set of ruins almost overwhelmed with the invading wilderness. Empty windows or doors peeked out between trees or had trailing vines in the place of ancient curtains. Some streets were throttled with weeds. Some buildings

Tuesday, Confounded PLNs

Here's my PLN:

  • Wait until the fam has shenanigans with the truck/pod and difficult furniture
  • Steal the car to go shopping and get supplies
  • The next day, I start bread

I even fed my starter because I 'knew' that it would be a while before I got the car.

Delivered my PLN to the Cule who then informed me that they've gone out of their way to give me car access today -_-

So the instant I'm done with my

Challenge #04957-M208: Our Mistake

This new race, level 3 deathworlders, were skittish of humans. Their first encounter with them were, unfortunately, dereggers, who nearly got killed. This first contact with Alliance humans was going to be difficult to say the least. -- BKF

First Contact is always a crapshoot. You never know who is going to meet whom nor what kind of person is going to be the first official representative of their people. Things like that happen when the first to meet the Alliance becomes

Monday, Shenaniganery

The moving is intensifying. There has been mention of a truck happening at some point in the week. I may have to wait to shop until next week.

I am endeavouring to focus on today's tale, but I have friends chatting with me on Discord and my lovelies relaying shit into the house.

It's not looking good for story progress. I am DISTRACTED-distracted.

But there will be a daily tale.

Eventually.

Challenge #04956-M207: Fighting Dread Hunger

Bibrid, when they are far from even the most remote of villages, takes his full dragon form and flies them all to the edge of a beautiful, bountiful, valley full of wild game and wild-growing fruits and vegetables. They're going to gather a large harvest to help a village that is currently cut off due to severe flood waters. -- BKF

"Wraithvine," said the raven as it lit on a nearby branch. "Hiland Vale needs you." It swooped down to the ground,

Sunday, Cancellations and Shenanigans

Promptcast is cancelled until August. Circumstances beyond anyone's control. So theoretically, I have more time to myself. Or I would if the shenanigans didn't include four people and a cat. My aim today, at least in meatspace, is to arrange a section of the countertop for bread. I will have to move some things around, but moving things around is de rigeur these days.

Once I have space, I will seek clearance to start the bread process.

I'm pretty sure my bread

Challenge #04955-M206: Sufficient Motivation

Bibrid and Wraithvine take the children to get something that scares poor Chance. To get inoculated against illnesses. -- BKF

Bibrid learned quickly to match his footsteps to Chance's once they were inside the town's walls. The young Hellkin was supremely clingy, seeming to fear being torn away from their only security. So he clung to his adopted child and moved in step with the poor suffering kid.

And, in this case, halted cold on their approach to the temple of Lenus.

Saturday, Shifting Stuff

There shall be several trips with smaller stuff (and one person) over the passage of a few days. I still have no idea what's happening with moving the awkward stuff. No updates there.

I have fed the birds, the cats, and myself (yay). And helped out a friend with their writing.

The Promptcast is doing Booked For Friday, so I'm moderating over there. THEN I get on with the daily tale. If I'm not delayed by Other Stuff(tm).

I'm probably going

Challenge #04954-M205: Intelligent Weapons

A human run academy for new military recruits. There are three paths. Diplomatic corps, edge defense, and the path that makes people disappear, and reappear in Alliance custody ready for their trials. -- BKF

One would think, with a name like Armed Forces right there on the metaphorical tin, that the purpose was obvious. Armed. Force. Clear and concise. One would be wrong by the time Humanity was fully integrated into the Galactic Alliance.

War... adapts.

Various clever weapons have largely rendered
