WHAT IS THIS? This is where I ask people to post things, and then I send random post numbers something from my desk drawer. Here’s how it usually goes.
What will you get? Who knows? Probably garbage.
AND WE’RE DOING SLOW MODE AGAIN. Posting will be timed. NOOO.
And it will change throughout the 24 hours. NOOOO.
And don’t ask wootybot for something because that post will be disqualified. NOOOOOO COME ONNNN.
Each 1,000 post milestone reached between 9:00am CT on Tuesday, 2/20/24 and 9:00am CT on Wednesday, 2/21/24 opens up another random weener. (Weeners are picked at the end, btw).
Picking up where I left off at the end of the last Post mongering. If interested you cans till find those posts in that old thread from last year. Meanwhile let’s get back to our protagonists, currently staying in the Wurra Palace in Querna, where they are trying to figure out where to go looking for the Demon, Arithan next…
Since the wreck of the Pride of Niah Oceanvine had been laboring to reconstruct her dissertation notes for the second time. She did so during whatever moments she could spare from her duties aboard the Maiyim Bourne and even a few while on land. She was still uncertain whether she had managed to remember everything, although the process had thrown new light on certain aspects of ward theory that had not occurred to her before so in the long run she was better off now.
The trip from Khordel had given her enough time to reconstruct her outline, but now she was through reconstructing the research. It was time to start writing. Perhaps it was the fact that on her last visit to the Wurra Palace she had made a habit of early rising in order to study for her entrance exams for University, but when she woke up bright and refreshed in the pre-dawn hours, she left Silverwind, still sleeping soundly, and made her way down to the kitchen with her notes. There she was able to get a pot of tea and a piece of pastry.
She drank a full cup before deciding where to start, but by the time she next looked up she had filled a small stack of paper with the rough draft of her first two chapters and the rest of the tea was cold. She might have been deep into the third chapter had she not been distracted.
“Master Oceanvine?” a deep masculine voice inquired. Oceanvine looked up to see Master Sandstone, the chief forensic mage of the Ksaveras’ Royal Bureau of Investigation. “It’s a delight to see you. I hadn’t heard you were in Querna.”
“We just arrived yesterday afternoon, Master Sandstone,” Oceanvine replied warmly. “I haven’t had time to look up old friends.” That might have been an exaggeration. During the case of the “Cardiokiller” Master Sandstone had been openly hostile toward the pretty blonde mage. However, he had also more than made up for that by recommending her to the University. In a very real sense he was responsible for her becoming the first woman to matriculate and graduate from the University of Querna. “Won’t you join me?”
“It would be my honor,” Sandstone replied graciously. “Just let me get coffee and something to eat. Would you like a fresh pot of tea, perhaps?”
I dont understand this game? How it should be going? And how to win ?
Wait … it doesn’t matter, I never win anyways.
Good morning everyone and wish you all a wonderful day ahead.
