Challenge #04444-L060: Finding Justice

They called themselves a Cleric of Tyr, but their actions toward the dungeon and the Everdark adventurers that used it for training and loot-gathering, showed this person did not actually believe in what they espoused to be their god. But Tyr doesn't like it when people use their name without following the actual tenants. And it's time the Everdark adventurers had MORE than just one full sized dungeon to explore.

You can say a lot with small words. You can work a lot of help with two kind hands. You can learn a lot if you're willing to Listen. And yes, that capital is deliberate. There's a significant difference between listening and Listening.

Listening without the capital is simply hearing sound. Listening with the capital is hearing the words unsaid, sensing the implied, understanding that which is obvious to the one telling the story. Listening with the capital is a rare skill that few understand, and fewer still truly utilise.

Sunni Valance was just beginning to take her baby steps into learning it.

Saturday, Parkrun and Shenanigans

Miss Chaos earned her coffee toffees this week. All it took was me expressing my concerns. Would that that worked on her motivation to learn how to make a game.

I might have to find her some variety of McJob in order to appreciate that learning programming is the easier thing to do.

I'll ring APM if I have to.

Then I'll look into online courses to teach me how to properly use GameMaker and how much they might firkin cost.

Challenge #04443-L059: Imitation of Power

Making a statement - what you choose to wear can say a Lot about how you think. -- Anon Guest

Clothing has had messages behind it since one person decided to do something a little different with their garments. Or, as it may be, their decorations. Who was the first to create style, and who was the first to begin fashion. All that is certain is that the young have been using it to annoy adults since before records became available.

It's

Friday, IDEK

I'll be making bread this weekend. Possibly baking on Monday. I'm chasing Chaos to keep working on Stencyl to make a thing. I'm trying to find any group of professionals who could teacher.

The one place I did find operates solely in NSW and Victoria, focuses exclusively on children and mentions homeschooling a little too much for my personal comfort.

And there's literally nowhere else.

Any other searches for programming education and ASD just leads me to job offerings and education opportunities

Challenge #04442-L058: A Very Unusual Place

This species of fae ate dreams. But only bad ones. Needless to say, it lived near the orphanage. No child there ever had a bad dream last very long at all. -- Anon Guest

It wasn't just Elves, Wudsgaad, and Brauniin that came into Mundis Mortalidae in the beginning of the world. Of course they came with magic, but there are other things native to Nanogh that found their way through. Many monsters, and things that go bump in the night.

Thursday, Another Expedition

Today, my shopping mission includes finding a thumb drive that can be attached to a key ring, and then getting a really visible key ring to attach to it. All the better to store MeMum's backups and keep it Obvious(tm) so it doesn't get lost.

I cannot count the number of thumb drives MeMum has lost. Giving it something big and visible might help there. Might.

But I have to wait until the pay goes through before I head offski for

Challenge #04441-L057: Do Not the Humans

This group of idiotic deathworlders did not listen when the Alliance warned them not to harass the humans. Why do some people have to learn the hard way? -- Anon Guest

"Listen," said the AI guide. "You're big tough Deathworlders, and wish to prove it. There's other Deathworlders, here, and the temptation is very strong to test how Deathworlder they all are. There's arenas for that."

The tourist group grumbled a little, but seemed to accept the limit on their usual behaviour.

Wednesday, Rant Due and Patreon Nonsense

With the help of Beloved, I got MeMum's Kindle backed up. Since it was top priority, I left that day's story on the back-burner while the jiggery-pokery went on. It was closer to eleven at night by the time I got the basic offerings out.

So yeah, I'm a little tired today.

But I also know I can catch up on anything I missed yesterday and that includes recording some chapters for the Patreon! Woo!

I think I'm allowed to feel accomplished,

Challenge #04440-L056: Put Your Muscle Where Your Mouth is

They claim to be a cleric of Tyr, but they certainly don't seem to believe in the concept of justice. So how can you be a cleric of something you don't actually believe in? Simply put, you're not a true cleric. -- Anon Guest

[AN: Possibly in reference to this: https://peakd.com/fiction/@internutter/challenge-04426-l042-not-made-for-you ]

Powers of the Divine come from devoted worship to the god in question. The magic and how it effects the work depend not on the deity,

Tuesday, Grand Tech Expedition

Today, I help MeMum fight the forces of enshittification by securing her Kindle collection. And finding a way to purchase more ebooks without giving Bezos any more money. This will include instructions about how to transfer said ebooks to the Kindle.

I expect it's going to be a long day.

So I therefore suspect that I may not have time to get any of my expected offerings out onto the interwebs. If that happens, I'll have a grand catch-up session on

Challenge #04439-L055: Strangers in the Night

The way the human was staggering, I thought they were drunk. When they passed out to sleep, tests indicated they were merely severely sleep deprived. -- Anon Guest

There is one rule that covers all the space ways. Help others, for the trouble may one day be yours. In space travel, it was to always respond to a distress call. On more stable ground, the habit carried over to helping a stranger who clearly needed help.

Planetside, this meant paying attention to

Monday, PLNs underway

Adorable doesn't have any ideas for helping me fix LMMS, but has recommended an alternate music maker. I'll be looking into that later in the day.

I now have 89 chapters until ADT is declared finished and I can take a firkin break.

Tomorrow, I'm offski to help MeMum back up her Kindle purchases, and find somewhere she can obtain ebooks for her Kindle without giving any more money to Amazon.

It has to be possible, and a lot of authors are

Challenge #04438-L054: Connecting the Dots

No matter how hard you try to hide it, historical truth, no matter how uncomfortable, will come to light. It's better to teach it to your young, now, than for them to resent you later. -- Lessons

There had always been a war. Which meant that everyone had to support the troops, be grateful for what they got, and buy war bonds to finance the inevitable victory against the real forces of evil.

Forces that were undermining society from every angle. Threats

Sunday, the Internet Returns

Despite getting plenty of sleep, last night, I am still tired. Most of it is a bout of depression surrounding (a) catching up, and (b) the assorted jiggery-pokery that needs must be done. All so I can get other things done.

And, as always, it depends on other people. I try looking for the answers, but I never find the ones that I can make work.

I feel so stupid.

Also, between the advertising round for yesterday's tale and writing the one

Challenge #04437-L053: The Buildings Left Intact

They sat along side the road, shoulders sagged, clothes ragged, all desire to even live... gone. What good is all this power, this magic, if they cannot save even a single, innocent, child from dying? There is a soft purring at their feet, a gnome next to them patting their knee, and an elf comes up, holds out their hand, and states "You did your best no matter how good you are, you cannot save everyone." -- The New Guy
