Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Friday, Day 0, Set-up Issues

Plague news: One new case, an import. We have seventeen total active cases, twelve of those are in hospital. Australia's at 87.6% first vax, 75.5% fully vaxxed. Queensland's at 76.5% first vax, 62% fully vaxxed.

I have starters to feed, bikkie to eat, possibly a Catio to fix... it's a holiday, so Chaos is staying home for a long weekend.

I don't have to clean the Catio because my little furmonsters haven't been in there for the entire week.

My PLNs to become Twitch Affiliate are now waiting on Twitch realising I've averaged higher than 3 concurrent viewers. Fingers crossed it happens today. So I can set up for Game of Tomes.

I'm working V-E-R-Y S-L-O-W-L-Y on the current dungeon map because it is FULL of firkin horseshit like wibbly wobbly half-collapsed caverns and caves and shit. AUGH.

I'm ragequitting a lot.

BUT I may also be writing some of the final words in my novel today. I might be doing it next week. I finish the story, not the words.

And, I have learned, it is better to over-write than aim for exactly the right words.

In the news:

  • Facebook now named Meta and changing little else
  • Cleo's parents targeted by trolls after her vanishing
  • Wild weather set to keep on being wild
  • Body dumped outside hospital
  • ScoMo fighting the trolls

Posting story, and then doing stuff.

Challenge #03198-H289: I Am Not Here, I Did Not Die

There are many stories of first contact, what about a last contact? When a species is so doomed that no technology could help them recover? -- Alex

We are the Elm, and we are dying. We have accepted this, and send this to you. By the time you translate this message, we will likely be gone. Do not mourn for us, as we have had enough of mourning.

No grand mistake has caused this end. We have merely reached the end of

Thursday, Day 0, PLNs

Plague news: one new case, an import. Seventeen total active cases, thirteen of those are in hospital. Australia's at 87% first vax, 74.8% fully vaxxed. Queensland's at 76% first vax, and 61.8% fully vaxxed.

Today, I will be doing a lot of unriddling with an aim to become a reporting streamer for Game of Tomes. All going well, I should be able to do all of the things necessary. Fingers crossed.

If it goes badly, I might be building wibbly

Challenge #03197-H288: Dietary Restrictions

A Human has a very sensitive digestive system due to the damage done from multiple illnesses before they escaped the Deregger world they'd come from. Now working aboard a Havenworlder ship, they found even many of the Havenworlders' foods too harsh for their digestion, and had to explain why the foods they made, while nutritionally balanced, were bland even to the Havenworlders. -- Anon Guest

Human Roi was a Rescue. The crew of the Pohkit Ansee knew this on an intellectual level,

Wednesday, Day 0, Wordpress

Plague news: Two new cases, both local. Damnit. There's 24 total active cases, fifteen of those are in hospital. Australia's at 87% first vax, 74% fully vaxxed. Queensland's at 75.7% first vax, 61% fully vaxxed.

Mayhem is over the reaction to his second jab, and heartily endorses the vax mandates. We need those things for public safety. Just like we need road rules, traffic lights, and handrails on walkways.

PUBLIC. SAFETY.

Doctors, Nurses, and the entire Service Industry NEEDS to have

Challenge #03196-H287: Not Singing With Them

The humans were having ice cream sundaes, as much as they can eat, while their superiors reported to their allies about the battle, and their allies read the battle reports and all the horrors within.

"All the little angels rise up, rise up. All the little angels rise up high," the Terran Space Marine Corps were singing over ice cream sundaes with all the lashings. There weren't as many of them singing as

Tuesday, Day 3, Patreon

Plague news: no new cases. Twenty-two total active cases, fifteen are in hospital. Australia's at 86.8% first vax, 73% fully vaxxed. Queensland's at 75%first vax, 60.7% fully vaxxed. We need to get the firkin lead out.

I have Patreon posts to make today. Some chapters and a Tale Foundry entry, but not a lot for the dollar tier.

My patrons are going to get a sneak peek of the road trip variant of my Chaos Table.

Challenge #03195-H286: Dished Out

They left no bodily mark on their torture subject, but the being was screaming for mercy within but an hour, maybe less. The chamber was pitch black, it was not warm, nor cold, the walls were so soft they could practically not be there, though they were strong to hold the subject in, and there was no gravity, so no pressure on the body. Total sensory deprivation. The subject was not even able to hear their own voice.

When cruel people want

Monday, Day 2, So Tired

Plague news: No new cases! Twenty-three total active cases, sixteen of those are in hospital. Australia's at 86.6% first vax, 73% fully vaxxed. Queensland's at 74.8 first vax, 60% fully vaxxed.

I am sleep deprived today. I could not get more than an hour's unconsciousness pre-D&D and then couldn't easily sleep at 2AM to 5:30AM either. Blargh.

I will certainly sleep tonight. BUT I gotta stay awake until bedtime.

FUN.

My murder hobos love Magical Marvin. Just

Challenge #03194-H285: Stumbling Blind

Poor Jay develops a crush on Lilicoon and asks if she would be ok to date her.

https://peakd.com/fiction/@internutter/challenge-03030-h107-tea-and-socialisation -- Anon Guest

Uplifts were literally made to be attractive. It wasn't their fault. On planets and in polities where they weren't outlawed yet, a certain type could have an Uplift made to order. Some called them Anthros, some called them Beastfolk... but the important part to remember was that they were victims.

Jay and Lilicoon had that starting

Sunday, Day 1, On Schedule!

Plague news: no new cases! There's twenty-six total active cases, seventeen are in hospital, and the one person who was in the ICU got out. Australia's at 86% first vax, 72.5% fully vaxxed. Queensland's at 74.6% first vax, 60% fully vaxxed.

NSW and Victoria are starting to use the Vaccine Passports. MeMum has hers. I need to get rattling to make certain Chaos has hers and Mayhem has his. The former involves a lot of paperwork. Ugh.

Beloved had trouble

Challenge #03193-H284: To Hear Them Singing

A hearing impaired human, now with implants to allow her some ability to hear, but is also telepathic, has saved up to purchase a ship and start their own business. She ends up finding a ship for sale and, while touring it, hears a familiar 'voice'. She buys the ship on the stop and joyfully reunites with her old friend.

Saturday, Day 0, Shenanigans

Plague news: Five new cases, all imports. Twenty-eight total active cases, fourteen are in hospital, with one in the ICU. Australia's at 86% first vax, 71.7% fully vaxxed. Queensland's at 74% first vax, and 59% fully vaxxed.

The country is opening up whether we're ready or not. This is sure to end badly but nobody cares any more. Everyone is a million percent DONE with this plague and anti-plague measures and it's just... whatever. Let's get business rolling again.

Challenge #03192-H283: A Bad Lucker's Best Friend

How do Deregulations keep popping up? Even in times when most galactic Cogniscients know that they are a generally bad idea.

The founding reason for this actually comes from Alliance law, what Terran lawyers call "quae non inhabitabantur planeta indici" or, for those that don't speak legalese, an uninhabited planet belongs to the discoverer.

In this instance though, it suited Phy just fine, an unclaimed planet in a quiet corner of space. Somewhere that ze and hir Biogen pet Porgy could live

Friday, Day 0, Mor PLNs

Plague news: FIVE new cases, one local and four imports. Damnit. Australia's at 85.*% first vax, 70.8% fully vaxxed. Queensland's at 73.7% first vax, 58.7% fully vaxxed. We're getting there.

I shall be keeping an eye out on that local case thing. According to MeMum, it was an unvaxxed, infected Knomira who skated through on the Gold Coast. Fun.

Mayhem is suffering side-effects from the second jab. We're doing palliative care and keeping an eye on him. So far,
