Thursday, proposal, and shenanigans

I do not have much time this morning so I make an effort to be quick.

Bullet points:

  • Re-proposed to Beloved as part of the pre-anniversary celebrations
  • Beloved has a tummy bug. Not related
  • Mayhem has a job interview
  • I'm trying to build the Box of House as a base for my players
  • I still want to have merch but I have little in the way of time today because of the above
  • If I don't hurry, I won't get my story out until the afternoon.
  • Stick a broom up my bum and I can sweep the floor while I'm doing it all.

Off I go. Nyoom.

Challenge #03349-I061: A Study in Paper Goods

What is it about toilet paper that people hoard it in 'lockdown' here? If not inspiring pick a place and find some other 'must have' to clutter up the place. -- KnitNan

Today's unit in Terran History is the Covid-19 Pandemic. An analysis of incompetence. Yes, yes, some of you are from the polities identified here and are taking offense. The point remains that mistakes were made and some of them were on purpose. People died. We are here to analyse the

Wednesday, Wordpress and Anniversary

Beloved and I will be celebrating our Silver Anniversary real soon now. Methinks today's date will be all about buying each other something silver. She's worth it, I know that.

For the rest of today, I am trying to gather peeps from the D&D game to help design the Box of House.

A brief explain:

  • Players got hold of an item called a "Folding Boat", this got quickly nicknamed "the box of boat" in game.
  • This INSTANTLY gave them the

Challenge #03348-I060: Morning Mayhem

Families are hard enough to get there on time. What about mixed group of small aliens, and Carer(s) taking them for an 'outing'. -- KnitNan

"Zolt, stop playing in your sib's livesuit, it doesn't fit," Pripa Lylon Kazemahou was still working on the lunchbox assembly line, but that didn't stop him from monitoring the kids' activity whilst his hands were occupied. Even a Gyiik's four arms were not enough to deal with such a full family. "Now put on the gloves

Tuesday, Patreon, and mor floods

The school's still closed, and so are a lot of roads. If I was in charge of the country, I'd have as many road repair crews as possible out there and fixing all the potholes that have emerged thanks to the rain. BUT I'm not in charge. More's the pity.

Today on Patreon: More chapters of Kingdom of Sand trickle down to the $1 tier, I have another page of information for my highest donors in regards to Alfarell, the world I'm

Challenge #03347-I059: We Know This Looks Bad

He swears his blade to Wraithvine. For as long as he lives, and for generations to come in his family, they swear to be the bodyguards of the eternal elf, and those the elf bade them to protect. The wizard saved him and his entire family, now, his family swears, they will protect the wizard.

Monday, the long one

There's cloudy skies, intermittent rain, shitty internet, and a potential Tale Foundry reading depending on whether or not the connection stays.

I already had TaleSpire brown out on my during a game.

Fortunately, they were playing pranks on each other and creating incendiary devices. Inter-player shenanigans is fun.

There were lots of laughs.

There may be many more, because my fellow Taleoids have all the ability to stay on track of a wobbly shopping cart. I shall hold out for that, today.

Challenge #03346-I058: Love is Always Worth it

Ever tried to go anywhere with kids or a mixed group? -- Anon Guest

Oz stopped and looked back for hir beloved spouse. Sure enough, Thairn was fifteen sidus[1] back along the pathway. They were looking with fascination at something that had caught their interest. Again.

Honestly, this was why ze bought them all those jingly jangly body accessories with all the bells. Just so ze could be warned when this happened.

Alas, public spaces and noise filtration capabilities were Oz's

Sunday, Streams and Silliness

Toasty didn't stream this week, so I've had a less sleep-deprivation-charged morning. It's still raining, so my stream may have massive lag. It may also be nonexistent. Rest assured, I will be recording in situ, so I shall upload later when the weather is a little less touchy.

The weather bureau says the rain will stop today. I currently have doubts about that.

They weren't messing around when they described Australia as a land of "droughts and flooding rains".

Challenge #03345-I057: Grim Findings

There's a serial killer in your town. Unfortunately for them you are a necromancer and you have fun driving that maniac insane. -- AmberFox

[AN: Sincere apologies for the glitch that erased your post from my notice for two firkin months]

They just do it for the attention, I swear. Every single one of them is not just a murderous maniac, but an egocentric attention sponge. If I was a more impolite person, then I would have ruder words for them. Either

Saturday, Feast day PLNs

It's raining. Still. I got myself good and soaked in the process of cleaning the catio, yesterday. There I have zero plans to even glimpse towards the outside. I shall be streaming in my pajambles.

I stream in my pajambles on weekends anyway. No great deal.

I have perfected the art of the keto powder. Huzzah. The instructions on the container call for two hundred millilitres of liquid. Here's how I win at it:

  • 100 ml hot water
  • ~30 ml coconut milk

Challenge #03344-I056: Real Life Needs Better Writers

Please write something about coffee shop raided by robber and the robber get arrested by the police, then the police gets donuts as the bonus. That would be amazing story... -- Anon Guest

Picture if you will, the friendliest colour of purple that water can be. It is water that is three-quarters up a large mason jar by the till of a little shop on the corner. The jar has the word TIPS written on it in large, friendly letters. There is

Friday, Rain and nonsense

March is looming, which means nobody will be wearing masks. Which means that the next plague variant will be going far and wide and murdering people before it gets detected.

Either the Rona becomes more domestic, just like the 1918 influenza... or it gets worse and bites capitalism on the bum. So long as the money can flow, capitalism just don't care -_-

I am a cynical B.

My PLNs today are: Furnishing the dungeon and MAYBE making a start on

Challenge #03343-I055: For Peace of Mind

Please show us a human in Alliance space that does regular yoga to handle severe anxiety. -- Anon Guest

Human Juel was in the midst of their Pretzeling. Twisting her body around in seemingly awkward combinations and breathing in a slow and deliberate manner. Companion Mitr was still trying to comprehend the exercise.

The mat was necessary to protect her body from the harder flooring. That was clear. As to the why of turning the body into knots, it had to be

Thursday, Continuing Shenanigans

I finished creating the "north" bank of level four, so now I must head ever onwards and make the "south" bank. Yay. At least I have a process now.

But that doesn't stop Void Trimming from being dull as hell and eventual wrist torture. I know my limits there and stick to them.

Void Trimming: Deleting all the floor tiles that are not real floor so my players don't spend a lifetime trying to get into "the secret room".
