Challenge #03757-J104: The Horrors of War

A playful poltergeist keeps pestering Wraithvine's apprentice. The kid is stuck in this world, not sure how to move to the next. So, instead, starts pestering the living, as any kid would, trying to get attention. -- Anon Guest

Some souls can't be returned to their bodies. Those who were killed in such a way that their body was obliterated have no body to return to. Even with the strongest resurrection spell at hand. The army of the risen were gathering as Strodius called them back for revenge against their murderer.

One, called in Strodius' ritual, was one that was stuck. Unable to move on, unable to come back. Overloaded with a smouldering malevolence and with few avenues to express it.

Since this lost soul was also a child of eight, their methods were less than charming. They could manifest boogers, draw insulting stick figures, and hum at all hours of the day and night. The fact that they had the wrong target was superfluous to them.

Friday, Complications

There's a crack in the monitor of my Lappy, so it really truly had to go get some repairs. I didn't put it in yesterday because the dang forms took up all of my time and I therefore didn't get to test the lappy.

Yay...?

Because the repair people are in New South Wales, it's two business days' transit there, two more back, and whatever added days for the repair.

I'm going to be without my lappy for a week at the

Challenge #03756-J103: Everyone Needs a Hobby

One is a dragon, the other a human cursed with immortality. They fell in love, and they spend their long life running a forge in a lovely small city. -- Anon Guest

Welcome to Dragonforge, the first place to create and use Feathermetal. It, and neighbouring Redmine, are notorious for both this and insisting on remaining a little place in the middle of nowhere.

They could have made an empire on the basis of Feathermetal, but there was one thing that made

Thursday, Stuff and Things

I have a dental appointment today, and I have to turn up early. That will dictate where the rest of my day goes.

I will have either one or two curses to remove during my following nonsense.

Aunt E has some continuing troubles and curse removal seems like a viable option at this point. Fortunately, I know a few places who sell some decent curse removal stuff.

As for the other curse... my laptop has developed some quirk. The mouse pad has

Challenge #03755-J102: The Best Hat in the World

Wraithvine and friends were riding in a carriage to the next village. A small child kept giggling, trying to swipe the pointed hat, wanting to wear it. The parent sighed with patience trying to get the somewhat rambunctious toddler to settle. -- Anon Guest

Gikka had to ride on the roof, under the close watch of the carriage guard. Strodius was wedged into a corner and incapable of movement. The Hellkin next to him was barely capable of crochet. There was one

Wednesday, Wordpress and other things

I'm going to add a completion counter to the fanficcy variant of A Devil's Tale that I'm posting today. Needs to happen.

So I can have rants or samples ready for the next one after I run out of fic to post. So my readers know how much remains. So anyone coming in knows exactly how far I'll take an idea before a novel takes over.

So I can be fair to the peeps following my silly little story.

And just maybe

Challenge #03754-J101: Broken, Free

Even the CRC security were going to need therapy after seeing THAT mess. The body looks like it'd been through ten levels of hell before being allowed to die. The shaking person in the center, rocking, weeping, knife in hand, still bore the shackles of their bane, before they flipped, and freed themselves. -- Anon Guest

Their name was Chain, and they had died. They should have died. They remembered the feel of the blade, their stolen blade, slicing through their throat.

Tuesday, Patreon and Head Hurty

I woke up at Fuckoff AM with yet another fucking cyclone migraine drilling through my left eye orbit. Rather than suffer until the daylight hours, I took some of the Mondo Painkillers and the pain kept me up for another hour or so.

...and most of a page of A Devil's Tale so there's some win in all of this horseshit.

My priorities shall be the offerings for today, followed by whatever I can stand to do thereafter. Not easily anticipating going

Challenge #03753-J100: Come For the Laughs

Entering a village, a festival is going on. People are playing harmless pranks on each other, and the children are laughing and having fun with sweets. Today is the Day of Laughter. A harmless day of food, fun, and jokes. Not to be forced, but to be enjoyed. -- Anon Guest

"Are you laughing today?" said the small child up a tree. "I need t' know before I do stuff."

Journey Threshold put her guard up in a cold second. It honestly

Monday, ...ow

The cyclone headache of yesterday is still being a pain in my anatomy. Some low pressure system on a radius between me and Rockhampton is being a real beast.

So my PLNs are therefore very quiet and hoping the painkillers kick in THIS time.

If I get to any behind-the-curtain stuff, it will be pure bonus. Obviously, head hurty things make writing a problem.

I can try, but I'm not going to force it.

Let's get going with the good stuff. Creating

Challenge #03752-J099: Will and Testimony

A traveling apothecary who is an immensely skilled herbalist, sees Wraithvine, his apprentice, Gikka, and their cat. Knowing Wraithvine's good deeds, they offer an entire medical kit to Wraithvine as a gift, no strings attached. -- Anon Guest

The cart was pretty big, and the instant that Dulienna Pestlegrind started unfolding it, anyone could see why. Most of it was cupboards and containers and a multitude of folders that, in turn, contained small amounts of very potent ingredients.

"I've made a lifetime

Challenge #03751-J098: Earth.bak

What do I do for a living? I work as a biologist in planet-sized zoo. We raise animals that are almost extinct and help reintroduce them, safely, to habitats that are suited for them without disrupting the local ecosystem. I love my work. -- Anon Guest

It took years to find it. It took a team of Deep Time AI's to terraform it. We went to inhabit the ark and work on the next part. Seeding the world with endangered creatures. Each

Sunday, Twofer and Lazy Day

I am currently tucking into some egg-shaped chocolate, having already polished off a hot cross bun.

At some point, I will be setting forth with my Beloved to go fetch the landbarge back to our residence.

I owe y'all a twofer because I missed yesterday's offering. And fetching the car is kind of dominating my agenda processing skills.

It's that thing where you have an appointment at 3PM and end up doing nothing until it's time to go do the thing.

Yeah.

Challenge #03750-J097: Learn the Hard Way

They flinched away any time someone came close to talk. They kept to themselves, eyes down, shoulders slumped. But when someone took a swing at Mr. Sunshine, before he could react, they were all over the person, beating them to a pulp in defense of the man. -- Anon Guest

People become members of Pax Humanis because they are dangerous, and can't otherwise prevent that danger. They're kept apart in safe environments, receive therapy, and are supervised to be sure their danger

Good Friday, I Made a Mistake

All through March and April I was thinking, "I really gotta shop for Easter. I really gotta shop for Easter. I REALLY gotta shop for Easter."

The shops were shut this morning.

Firkin WHOOPS.

We managed to wing it anyways. Gonna try to not procrastinate holidays from henceforth.

Not helping is the general inclination to just focus on the stuff that's here and now and less expensive to deal with.

Inertia is my copilot, alas.

I still haven't cleaned the catio or
