Challenge #03461-I173: One True Sin

Why make a ship's engine sentient given how many ships end up abandoned out in space with the engines, damaged and unable to move, stuck alone drifting in the emptiness with nothing but their thoughts.. and often a lonely, unmourned, death? -- Anon Guest

[AN: You're confusing Gravy Drives with engines. Though some do serve the same purpose. When a ship is abandoned, the Nae'hyn serving her never leave the engine alone if they can help it]

This is space: it has room for everything. Even the worst and most heinous of crimes. It is a rare and horrible thing, but it does happen. A ship becomes no longer "worth" her upkeep or repairs, or she is damaged beyond salvation. A ship is abandoned in a sargasso, left to drift, or otherwise orphaned.

Something truly terrible must have happened to any Nae'hyn aboard for them to leave a Gravity Drive to solitude.

Some engines are the solitary sort, and prefer loneliness. They are even rarer than this... abomination. Salvager Leif had come upon a crime scene and they were looking, perhaps hopelessly, for the criminal responsible for it.

Wednesday, Wordpress, and Merch Maybe?

I have some Thoughts about the latest bout of Transphobic Stupidity. So that's today's Content Challenge dealt with. I will be ranting. I may be frothing at the mouth.

I am pissed. Be warned.

Beloved has some Badge Making Stuff, which she is using to create some pride pins for her work. Huzzah.

I might wrangle my way into making some Merch Pins for loyal followers or peeps wanting to support me by purchasing merch. I have two symbols and a bunch

Challenge #03460-I172: Well Met Again

Could we have a story where the new young reborn Anthe and the young, highly magic, thief that Wraithvine adopted meet? Maybe they're both at his side at some point? Please?

She was introduced as Gikka Winbelburrough at the next inn. Given good warm food and some relaxing tea. And a very confusing

Tuesday, Patreon and Wuzgunnas

I was gonna find time to cash in all the bottles and cans confounding our carport. That time keeps cycling around. And not arriving.

So, with the forces of determination on my side, I should make some hours to cash in the cans. And, if I'm really lucky about it, do a Costco run to stock up on all kinds of stuff that we've run out of.

Fingers crossed.

If not today, I might make it part of our nonsense tomorrow. Sometimes,

Challenge #03459-I171: This Way Out

On their world....

Good Girls Don't Speak

Good Girls Don't Read

Good Girls Don't Think

Good Girls Clean

Good Girls Cook

Good Girls OBEY...

It's a good thing the transport ship is taking them away... from their world. -- Lessons

Good Girls don't pick up flyers in the exercise yard, but one had stuck to Charissa's foot, so it didn't count. Good Girl's don't read, but this glossy page had no words to read. It had pictures, and arrows, and told a

Challenge #03458-I170: One Post-op Debrief After the Mess

The human is badly wounded, in an ICU drawer, half-conscious, but at peace. They had fought hard, protecting the innocent, and in their heart and mind, what they had suffered, and was recovering from, had been worth it. No lives had been lost. -- Anon Guest

The really great thing about Alliance Medicine was that they had absolutely kicker drugs. Human Wat was effectively floating on a pink cloud of nice, and she was feeling no pain at all. This also meant

Challenge #03457-I169: No Cause For Alarm

They were a Good Lucker, and managed for quite some time to avoid the CRC, the Alliance, and other attempts to find them. They had no intention of joining Pax Humanis. However, like Pax Humanis, using poison, blades, and other methods, avoiding causing any harm to innocents, they worked their way through the universe killing the greedy, the brutal, and the cruel. -- Anon Guest

[AN: Being a Lucker has nothing to do with being a psychopath. However, it could lead to

Saturday, Scavenger Hunt & Shenanigans

Beloved has time to help gather the things for Miss Chaos' next big adventure weekend via school. We might also have the time to do a Bottles and Tinnies run because the bags of Stuff are threatening to overtake the dang carport.

I may also find the time to repair the Kitty Cam like I've been gassing about for the past firkin week. Stop laughing at me in that tone of voice.

Currently doing all the other things whilst on Max. IDK

Challenge #03456-I168: Meet Lilbit

A small stray cat is following Wraithvine around, often trying to climb up hir robes to sit on hir shoulder. And when ze sits down to relax or meditate, the sweet kitty tries to climb in hir lap, constantly purring. -- Anon Guest

Elves do not keep pets the way Humans do. Though there are whispers and dark stories of Elves keeping humans as pets, in a long bygone age, the evidence has yet to be found. Animals live a fraction of

Friday, Unfuckening and Stuff(tm)

Catio cleaning, Starter harvesting, House unfuckening... busy day. At least I got two more articles for Alfarell and one relatively large and very annoying chamber in TaleSpire.

Progress is progress. Even when it's SLOW AS BALLS.

Bit by bit, I will get there.

[I also need to edit in Wraithvine's occasional battles with OCD into hir article.]

Maybe Beloved and I will do the scavenger hunt this weekend. We need to get rattling on that before the time becomes NOW to find

Challenge #03455-I167: Look Upon My Works and Despair

A Deregger, not quite at "gunpoint" but close enough, has to make a deal to allow the Alliance to come in to help clean the mess up on their world before it becomes a grave-world. They're allowed to STAY in power, sorta, but with heavy supervision and lessons on ACTUALLY governing properly. -- Lessons

Picture if you will, a gilded, Faberge bunker. Its owner has heard of Roccoco and thought the style far too bland. If it isn't made of the precious

Thursday, Making Up

I forgot about an entire hair appointment, yesterday. Which squished my plans to create content. But that's fine, because I was spending time with my Best Beloved.

SO!

My PLN for today is to alternate betwixt chamber building and world building until I am tired of both, and then fill the rest of the day in recreational activity.

That PLN has already gone sideways because internet failure plus dentist for me plus everything possible demanding my attention at once.

YAY.

Onwards for

Challenge #03454-I166: A Test of Character

A person came to meet Twii. They had a lot to talk to them about, but both individuals were wary. Twii wanted to see what KIND of person they are, so, the two fought, briefly. Before sitting to talk, Twii stated, "Sorry about that. But you'd be surprised at how much you learn about a person by fighting them." -- Anon Guest

[AN: Just attacking someone out of the blue makes ZERO sense for: (a) a master of the martial arts, (b)
