Challenge #04271-K253: You're With Us

The kobolds' burrows had collapsed in the trembler. They were lucky the entire warren had survived without a single one, nor any egg lost. The nearby adventurers with shovels and magic, helped rebuild the tunnels, and proof them against ever collapsing again no matter how hard the earth shook. -- Anon Guest

Propshore was a mining town, and Kobolds were treasured there. They had a sense for three-dimensional space that few could equal. They could tell the vulnerabilities in stone with a skill that was only rivaled by the D'varuv. The semi-reckless little Dragonkindred were favourites amongst all the miners and their families.

The mines survived the earthquake with little damage. The Kobold tunnels... could not be reached. Not by the means they all knew.

The reaction was instant. All of Propshore set out. Mothers had their newborns strapped to their chests. The infirm and the under-capable did sit-down work like winding bandages and mixing medicines, or looking after the ones too small to help but just big enough to get underfoot.

Monday, Shenanigans ::Jazz Hands::

I woke tired this morning. Feeling wrung out, strung out, and maybe a smidgeon touch-starved. A hug has helped my emotional 'tanks'.

Started going on Max, and then had Mayhem turn up telling me it was time to take off. I'm back on Max as I speak. JUST ABOUT THREE HOURS LATER.

Because Mayhem applied for flexible hours and got them just as I was half an hour out. Ish. I then had to turn around, fetch Mayhem, and then drive home.

Challenge #04270-K252: Subtle and Fast Fury

Wraithvine is a very patient being. That patience has been learned over many, many, centuries. But when ze is truly angry, watch out. This brat was NOT listening, kept trying to kick Lilbit, grabbing Bribird and bad-mouthing Gikka. A good chastisement was in order, and a stern lesson to parents who was letting the child become so spoiled. -- Anon Guest

Heaven help the people who think they can get away with anything short of murder. It might have to, in this

Sunday, Bridge to Brisbane

I have checked the weather and wearing the long excercise pants would boil my thunder thighs. So today is the first day of...

Summer Wear

This in combo with the pure polyputthekettleon branded shirt means that I will be a lather by the time I reach the finish line. Also the world will be mercilessly exposed to my pasty white hairy legs. Deal with it.

And I'm only doing the 5K walk because I know I'm capable. I need to

Challenge #04269-K251: A Singular Sanctuary

They travelled with Wraithvine for a while, learning to cope with so many years. Though they were very few and far between, they learned there were others like themselves. So they founded the Immortal Village. Where people with same, or similar, condition could live in peace, help others from, and find solace together. Important part, was Waithvine helped found it.

Saturday, Health Update and PLNs

After days and days of applying goanna oil heat cream combined with careful stretching, the corks in my calves have vanished. Huzzah.

Just in time for me to cork them again doing the 5K walk in the Bridge to Brisbane tomorrow. Look for my dumb pink hat if you find footage of it.

I'm still finding out how I'm going to get there on time. Travel is going to be "interesting" tomorrow.

Today... I'm dealing with a Cyclone Headache [taken my meds,

Challenge #04268-K250: New Record For the Longest-Running Experiment

The humans have a plan. It's both a bit frightening, and incredibly exciting. They intend to seek out a solar system with a huge asteroid belt, but no planet in the habitable zone. Their experiment? To create a warm, stable, earth-sized planet, and then terraform it to be a Havenworld. Will it work? -- Anon Guest

They went down to deepest-time wormhole to a system in the midst of formation. They were geologists, biologists, astrophycists, and a whole pack of scientists of

Friday, Lo Batt Issues

I gotta clean the catio today. I have to go fetch Mayhem at some point. I'm behind on my imaginary progress with Pseuducku because I didn't do jack about making a thing happen for/in it.

And you know what?

Screw it.

If I need a breather, I'm taking a breather. If I want to relax, I'm going to relax. If I need sleep, I'm taking a nap.

If I need hugs... I'll try to arrange more time with the QPP.

Challenge #04267-K249: Deny, Delay, Distract, Until...

The body is being examined in an autopsy bay. At a glance at the scene it was an open and shut case of [slip and slide] off a roof. But a few blood stains were darker compared to the rest, shards of glass found adjacent to the wound, even though the streets was cleaned and no windows were damaged. finally bruises around the neck indicated strangulation.

The fall was a cover up. -- Anon Guest

The body did fall. There were witnesses

Thursday, Further Disorganisation

So here's my day so far:

  • Wake late and commence the self-care regimes
  • Foot torture and commence stretches
  • Drive Mayhem to work
  • Drive home
  • Attempt to complete stretches
  • Phone call from Mayhem
  • Drive there and back again to fetch Mayhem
  • Complete stretches and half a chapter.

and now it's 2 in the afternoon and I am just now getting to today's blog entry. Offerings very soon, I should hope.

I also hope to figure out buttons in Gamemaker, but I'll probably end

Challenge #04266-K248: Mistaken Identity

The small child nearly crashed into Gikka and stepped on the disguised Bibrid to hide among Wraithvine's robes. When gently asked the fear, the child admitted to playing in the house despite their mother's warnings, and breaking a window.

"Mommie's gonna be SO mad!"

"Oh child, you know, if you tell her you're sorry, and admit what you did, I bet she won't be mad long." -- The New Guy

It was raining, but not heavily enough to drive people indoors or

Wednesday, Rant Due and Shaking the Debuffs

I am smearing so many products on myself and swallowing so many others. I smear stuff on my corked calves to try and get them to firkin RELAX. I smear stuff on my hair to keep the colours looking neat. I smear stuff on my face to stop large chunks of it flaking off. And there's the more normal smearing of stuff on my teeth to keep them clean.

There's one medication I inhale, and that's my preventer.

I won't go into

Challenge #04265-K247: A Sincere Apology

"Look we know you didn't do anything wrong. Please forgive how we treated you, you did everything you could.

They found me in my best hiding nook after Jax went to safer territories. The eldest, and quietest of the Nae'hyn engineer-priests found me being very still in the ship's equivalent of the wainscotting. Somewhere between overhead and bulkhead and something associated with crawlspace for very small crawlers.

I learned a lot later that

Tuesday, Patreon Perhaps and Pseuducku

I have a day of minimal expectations, so of course I'm piling expectations on myself.

I have updated my Pseuducku pages. Check it out if you're interested. I encourage my user base [Hi, Mum!] to do that. It's linked in the Menu.

I think I'll be sharing a fanfic with my Patrons in order to plump out the yield this week. I don't have a lot of Archive work either and I am trying to not feel bad about this.

Challenge #04264-K246: Thanks Enough

Despite your aversions, you did this... for me?

"All life is precious, but, I knew you could not survive on plants."

And for my children.

"You were ill, I'm just glad my poor skills were enough."

Thank you. You're the first human I've ever met that has ever been this kind.

"You're welcome, my friend."
