Challenge #04828-M079: A Final Sacrifice

A God of Light, oddly allied with Mistress Dark for they knew she was not, in fact, a dark god but a god of balance and was of the few truly neutral ones, went to the isle where a dark god dredged from the sea resided. Through sheer effort they stole power away from the dark god through one command. "No longer give children's hearts. Starve the dark one, I will show you how to protect yourselves, properly." -- Anon Guest

Thalsom followed the dawning sun because of a dream he had once he was out of sight of his island home. He prayed to the moons when they formed an eye staring down at him. He refused to pray to Sanguicordus.

The vision led him to a boat. One of the large ones that the Outsiders used, but these were friendly outsiders. With a little effort and a lot of pantomime, Thalsom explained his woes. The sacrifices, the promise of the once-sunken god. The guilt. And the desperate, burning need to be able to kill a god.

"The Hostess of All will be pissed," said one of the Outsider sailors. "Best to beg her mercy first." Of course understanding had to filter through, but Thalsom knew what he had to do at the next island.

Friday, Maybe Audio Today?

It's not looking good, but I can certainly try. I spent most of this morning already pre-occupied with staff business for the Promptcast. As for yesterday's mystery bitey... it was likely a wasp. With government-outlined medical care, the site has stopped hurting and I'm no longer bothered by the dang thing.

I need to figure out what paperwork we need to get Miss Chaos onto the disability pension. Then hunt down that shit.

I also need to get a wriggle on with

Challenge #04827-M078: Know Thy Enemy

Tears fell from the shackles of the young man as he looked up to the so-called “sages.” Fury ignited in his heart as he was flooded with muscle memories of a battle never fought. “No more Samsara cycles. I have my memory, my hatred, their promises…” Like a war-torn soldier, he readied himself. “This time don’t bother praying, I am here to kill your god.” -- Anon Guest

Once in a great while, perhaps every century or so, someone thinks that

Thursday, Recording Today?

It's 11AM and I just got around to sitting down to write this, so my PLN to record some chapters for Adorable might well be up in the air.

I'll see how I go.

My PLNs got disrupted at breakfast with a visit from the Council because my sullage system was blinking. Detour to show them where the hell the sullage sprinklers were.

I'm going to have to give my mower guy care instructions.

And to top it all off, while I

Challenge #04826-M077: Survival Made EZ

We rescued two strangers who'd been badly beaten. We saved them, though when awake, something about them scared us, but we couldn't figure out why. When our world began to change, get cleaner, and we could get food and medicine easier, we found out who they were, when they came to talk to us after.

Wednesday, Proceeding Carefully

Among my usual many other things, I plan to help Miss Chaos recover her MyGov account now that I've done the same for mine. It's a pain in the bum, but it can be done. Huzzah.

The rant shall be done, then unriddling Chaos' account, then the daily tale.

Today's good news is that Tumblr undid a massively unpopular change to their platform. The people spoke in a way that made them listen and the staff rolled that the heck back.

Challenge #04825-M076: Cold Comfort

The god was not angry at Wraithvine and the child, but it was angry. A cold anger of betrayal. It was also angry a child had been used. The cold spurred them on, but while it could, it did not freeze them, and did not make the child AS cold. Its curse would last until its eye was restored, it was restored to where it came from, its betrayers were delt with, and justice was served. Which order? Who knew?

Tuesday, Patreon and Further PLNs

So much to do, so little organisation. I let time slip away from me because stretches, ankle, breakfast, and attempting to unfuck various shit on my desktop.

Which made MeMum mad at me. My bad. I am very foggy today.

Not helped by the fact that I have been dragging my feet about: Re-pitching Adapting again, recording more chapters for Adorable, and getting on with the business of today. Which also includes unfucking Miss Chaos' MyGov stuff.

Might have to actually phone

Challenge #04824-M075: Seems Harmless Enough

Young Ammolite lived with hir human parents, but also with hir fellow kobolds in hir family. The home had been modified to have a very well reinforced tunnel that went from the home to the larger underground warren. The humans were so well integrated in with the warren, then even more new hatchlings treated them as beloved relatives.

Monday, Backup Reads and Shopping

I have bread in the fridge. I have a limited supply of soup on the cooktop because yesterday was a 24-hour Lurgi... and Chaos has been helping herself to the soup.

Hopefully I don't get another Lurgi whilst out shopping. But I have the payola to lay in a supply of other soups just in case.
Huzzah.

It's a bizarre bug. Beloved, Adorable, and I came down with it within 24 hours of each other and we haven't shared the same air

Challenge #04823-M074: The Wager of Import

Wraithvine lost a bet with a family that runs an orphanage. What did they want in return? A magical pouch of edible and medicinal plant seeds that never emptied no matter how many were planted. They would never again worry about not having enough to feed the kids. -- Anon Guest

[AN: personally believing this is some kind of test by the orphanage because of mummers and fraudsters pretending to be hir. Only Wraithvine would purposely lose a bet to help an

Sunday, Stream Stuff and Nonsense

...with bread! I have the third loaf in the incubator and the Dutch Oven getting toasty.

The results of yesterday's experiment - Yes, I still have to ice my stupid ankle every two hours. Trying again next week. On the plus side, I get a bit more written when I take breaks from writing to... do... more... writing.

I just live here. The illogic surpasses me.

I already have stories written for the next Archive prompt, so I'll be theoretically able to

Challenge #04822-M073: A Glass For Your Health

Ereshkygal has directed Wraithvine to a most unusual place, a vineyard growing plants partially in the human and fae realms. The wine vintage it produces makes those who imbibe translucent for a few hours with no other effects. It's unclear if this is harmful, no one seems to have been so far, but the Goddess must want something of the unusual vintage… -- Deathshead419

In eons past, say the stories, the Great Dragons pulled stars from the Plane of Magic to toss

Saturday, Hopeful of Recovery

I am testing my ankle today. Today, I am not icing it and see how I go. If all goes well, I'll be testing my ability to go shopping without pain.

The test after that is Parkrun again.

I'll see how I go.

Today, after Mandatory Tale, I shall add a bit to ADT until I either run out of ideas or I run out of words.

And maybe add to some fanfictions on the side.

I'll see how I go, because

Challenge #04821-M072: Drop of Death

Ice from the south pole's glacier which once had been trodden on by a dragon, a diamond stolen from a queen's tiara in the midst of a dance where she finds her love, the lock of a babe's hair taken at midnight whilst the father does paperwork, the tooth of warrior freely given before he wins victory.

What in the world potion will these make? -- Deathshead419

Impossible ingredients make an impossible potion. Something to do that which could not otherwise be
