Challenge #04629-L245: Fated Rest

A strange Inn where even Fate itself couldn't interfere. The place was simply called "Respite Rest". A place where fate-bound heroes, adventurers, and individuals like Wraithvine and Bibrid could take a nice, quiet, vacation, shop in the small stores attached for clothing or supplies, bathe in hot springs, and not worry about some major catastrophe. At least until they checked out of the Inn and returned to their travels. -- Anon Guest

The Inn had not been there moments before. It may not be there moments after. It appeared, apparently, wherever it was needed. Now? It was needed here.

Wraithvine boggled at it. The image of the knotted cords of Sai were above the lintel, rather than the chariot wheel of Freja. Just as ze was about to back away in due caution, the host appeared in the doorway.

They looked exactly like hir mother. Right down to the one wisp of hair that always escaped over her left ear. "Be not afraid," she cooed. "Come in, and take a needed rest." Her face dropped a little at the sight of Wraithvine's trepidation, and her face and physicality changed. "My apologies. I try to appear as the most welcoming sight to those new to us. Welcome, please. We are the Respite Rest. Shai sent us to be your ease." She had the knotted cords as a necklace, which was what gave the aura of trust.

Sunday, the Last Day Off of Sorts

All of this week shall also be taken in 4-hour road trips to drop Mayhem off at work. He's considering getting Work From Home, but has to (a) get his hand in at the job (b) rearrange everything in his room so it's also an office, and (c) figure out how to finance that noise.

It's going to be a while.

Fun times are ahead. Including the fact that I need to rearrange OBS again and configure my nonsense for streaming.

Challenge #04005-J353: Time For Nothing

It's rare I get days like these. It's quiet, there's no emergencies, no one needs my assistance at the moment. I rather am enjoying the relaxation. -- Anon Guest

He had gone through his routines. His morning Kata, feeding the cats, feeding the Dire Goats and then milking them, and then setting most of the milk into the vats with rennet. A few pints went into the sterile bottles and then into the cold box for later. He'd breakfasted and flirted with

Challenge #03513-I225: Time to Spare

Several kids flying kites accidentally run into Wraithvine and hir friends. Giggling, they offer the kite strings to the individuals, asking the group to come play -- Anon Guest

They had the time. And why not? Between one place and another, with all the urgencies currently out of the way, playing in a park had its lures. Especially for Marvin.

Wraithvine hadn't held a kite string for too long, and accepted the spool with giddy laughter. Which more or less gave the

Challenge #03391-I103: Time Enough

The thoughts and inner feelings of the old witch as new students come to call. Someone to pass their knowledge to, and, perhaps, a new, young apprentice here to take their place when old age finally takes its dues?

Varicelle had taken an overdose in her elder years, and had been looking for cures for old age for millennia. Alas, every fountain of youth had its price. A price too severe for an
