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 as an incredibly useful pet.

Those species are new to how things really work. They'll learn better soon enough.

The baby steps start here, in Meetwell Station, where the species and polities in or beyond the Edge Territories can meet with Alliance Representatives without judgement. Well. Not a lot of judgement.

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

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
