The return of crystalline

I find myself once again at the entrance of the crystal caverns

Sharp spires that jutt from the wall

Threatening to puncture my flesh

We both know without proper training and understanding

That would have been a welcome abuse

One step forward

It gets more narrow

One step forward

Still more

Until I'm almost face to face with the oppressive darkness

Others would ask

Where does it lead ?

How deep does it go ?

The are truths that I hold

I know it well

Too well

I stop

Turn to see the beautiful moonlight shining through the entrance

It would be so much easier if I turned and walked away

Pick up my trama a broken peaces and run from this place

My heart rate quickens , my eyes widen, my hands shake

My mother's words echo in my head

" You can't save anyone "

But I realize it's not mom

It's somewhere between the voice of my own doubt and that demon Crystalline

I turn back to the darkness

With a deep breath my heart beat steadies

My eye narrow as I focus my gaze

And I clinch my first halting the shake

And speak

"Damn you crystal

I enter your twisting halls not for myself but for another

And you know what ?

Maybe your right

Maybe I can't

But I can die trying "

As I run head first within the void

Only one who has survived it could understand

Moments in time

When being wide awake

Is like

Being asleep

Mind if I ask what creatures your character and Cookie are supposed to be? :O

🦂Yo, hello, anonymous! I'm sorry that it took so long to answer, because there is still no information, but the creature that I came up with myself and which is Cookie Masterson himself is a scorpchtorrun, because the main source of inspiration was the scorpion.

🦂Cookie, Schmitty and my mascot named Ilema are represented as sand scorpchtorrun, but Cookie is western (because he is larger, darker and the patterns are round), but Schmitty and Ilema are easterns (slightly smaller Cookies, lighter and the patterns have only sharp corners)

🦂Also, the western and eastern ones may have descendants, i.e. hybrids (and yes, this is Margarete Masterson, daughter of Cookie and Shmitty) -p

🦂And yes, its old arts

Highlights from Curse of Strahd yesterday:

Due to shenanigans, Ismark became a single father of a toddler

One player character (Viktur, edgy drow) saw a vision of his own corpse, while everyone else just saw a random guy

(said character was not pleased)

Players got their fortunes told

Everyone got dunked on by Madame Eva, but Viktur was dunked on the hardest

Potato soup was had

The elderly wizard character (shmitty) stripped naked as the day he was born and took a bath in the Tser Pool

The party began to add notes and drude drawings to the map of Barovia that Ireena brought

The party passed a test from Strahd (hooray!)

Ireena now has a pet fox (she hasn't decided on a name yet)

The party found a cool windmill, (Unfortunately, there were scattered teeth outside, which the party decidedly did not care for)

If you're still taking the writing prompts, 19 with plunderbunnies?

19. "You're the Love of my life, of course I came."

This uh... this got away from me.

Enjoy!

It’s just Guybrush’s luck to get ambushed and tied up on his honeymoon AND NOT IN THE FUN WAY!

And it was just his luck that this happened right after he got into a very stupid argument with Elaine. Geez he can’t even remember what it was about…

Then again that could be just brain damage from all the blood rushing to his head thanks to being hung upside down for who knows how long.

It’s not like he’s letting these jerks get away with this. He’d been trying to swing himself over to something to take the ropes off. That sharp looking torch holder or even the flames from the torches. But that was easier said than done.

“Oi would you stop swingin’ around? That darn squeaking is driving me crazy.” One of Guybrush’s captors shouted at him

Guybrush briefly thought of swinging twice as hard to annoy the guy. Maybe he'd accidently cut him down to end the squeaking noises… or maybe he'd grab that flintlock on the table and shoot Guybrush in the head… so yeah let's not risk that.

The annoyed pirate turned to his buddies, “How long we gotta put up with this moron?”

“Told ya before, we’re holding onto him until we get a hold of King Andre. Sent out Shmitty and his bird to deliver the message.” Said who Guybrush assumed was the muscle and leader of this little group

“Apparently this bilge rat got on the King’s bad side by stealin’ something reeeal ‘portant.” Said another pirate as she gleefully poked at Guybrush’s head

Ah so that’s why. Guess Guybrush should have expected King Andre to not just write the diamond off at a loss.

Ugh by the time King Andre or his goon showed up to pick him up, Guybrush wasn’t sure he would be able to speak in full sentences.

If Guybrush could sigh, he would (the gag in his mouth kind of put the kibosh on that.) He couldn’t help but think of Elaine. She either hasn’t found out that he was captured or she’s so angry at him that she won’t bother helping him.

Honestly he couldn’t blame her on that second one. It wouldn’t be the first time he disappointed her.

Suddenly a loud squawking rang out through the cave.

“I thought you said Shmitty was gonna deliver the message? He can’t have gotten a response that fast!” Said the pirate who yelled at Guybrush earlier

There was a pause…

And then someone was thrown from the darkness and landed in front of the captors.

“What the!?”

Guybrush assumes from their reactions that this was Shmitty.

The leader grabbed maybe-Shmitty by the scruff on his shirt. From where he was hanging, Guybrush could see that the guy had seen better days… or any days at all if that black eye was any indication.

“What the hell happened Shmitty? All you were ‘sposed to do was send the stupid bird out.”

“We’ve been caught, boss! She knows what we’re doing and she’s real angry!”

“She? She who?” asked the annoyed pirate

The pokey pirate pointed a sword toward Shmitty.

“Shmitty, you blabbermouth, you ratted us out didn’t you?!”

“I swear I didn’t say anything!”

Another sound rang out, a whistle.

The four (and Guybrush) looked down the cave.

Someone stepped into the torchlight and Guybrush would recognize that bright red hair from anywhere.

“Elaine!?”

Indeed there she was, Elaine Marley-Threepwood, sword in one hand and… parrot on her shoulder?

She smirked at Guybrush’s kidnappers.

“Oh don’t worry, your friend was quiet as a mouse. His friend on the other hand…”

At that, Elaine took a cracker from a pouch on her hip and gave it to the parrot on her shoulder. The parrot happily gobbled the cracker up and spoke.

“Awk! To King Andre! Awk! We captured the thief Guybrush Threepwood! Bwak! See us in the big cave on the outskirts of Tackle Isle! Awk!”

“Animals can be so helpful when you figure out how to get along with them.”

From there it was chaos as the kidnapper leader dropped his buddy (who ran off as soon as his feet touched the ground) and he and the remaining captors charged at Elaine. The parrot flew off as Elaine immediately parried the first strike.

Between all the blood in his head and his position, it was a little hard for Guybrush to tell what was happening. But he refused to let Elaine do all the work herself.

Thus he began swinging again but this time in a different direction. Maybe he could swing himself off the hook and-

“OI! What’d I say about that infernal squeaking!?”

Before Guybrush could offer a (muffled) witty comeback, Elaine took the opportunity while the pirate was distracted and struck the back of his head on the back of the head with her sword grip.

Okay, one down!

Guybrush continued swinging just a little higher and higher each time. The pokey pirate backed up as Elaine overwhelmed her… just close enough for Guybrus to swing right into her and knock her to the ground. Elaine immediately struck her on the head

“Ha, I can always count on you to make the best of a situation, Guybrush.” Elaine remarked

Guybrush smiled as best as he could with the gag in his mouth as he continued swinging back and forth. He swears he can feel the ropes starting to come off the hook, just a littl-

And he nearly instantly found himself sailing through the air and crashing right on top of the Captor’s leader.

“Uh… hi there…” Guybrush muffled

The leader growled as he pushed Guybrush off and stood up with his sword at the ready.

“King Andre didn’t say anything about turning you in alive…”

Oh crap…

Wait maybe if he moves in a certain way, the guy would just slash his ropes or the knot or-

*CLANG!*

-Or Elaine could just smash some pottery on the guy’s head and knock him out along with his buddies. That works better actually.

Now with all of Guybrush’s captors either knocked out or far away, Elaine could finally kneel down and start freeing Guybrush. First thing to take the gag out of his mouth. Guybrush took a deep breath and spit out any remaining gag taste as Elaine started cutting the ropes with a knife.

“Are you alright, Guybrush?”

“Dizzy… head hurts…”

“Sounds like I’ll need to carry you.” Elaine replied with a bit of a laugh

Soon enough, the ropes were cut and Guybrush was free. Elaine helped him stand up on his wobbly legs and eventually picked him up into a bridal carry. With that done, she made their way out of the cave.

“Sur-surprisd you came...”

“You’re the love of my life, of course I came.”

“But… you wer preddy mad earle-er…”

“Well yes but every couple has their arguments right? I was actually going to apologize when I found out you went missing.”

Oh.

Between finding out that Elaine still cared and the blood in his head slowly going back through the rest of his body, Guybrush felt a little lightheaded but happy.

“I’m gld we married, plndbunin…”

“Hee, hee, I’m glad we’re married, too.”

Light pollution lesson

A perspective on light pollution and what it can teach us

Standing out in the middle of Decatur Alabama waiting to go into work I'll look up towards the night sky here being in a city

The lot pollution is very heavy

I'd ask myself to a certain extent

" God why do you allowed it for us as humans who drowned out the beauty of nature"

You cannot say one single solitary star in the sky here

Then suddenly it hit me a teachable lesson in this

Many times in life through our own intentions and pride we're much like this

Thinking that we know what's best and what needs to be done

Ultimately causing more trouble than good

Threw overzealous pride and ignorance

We shine and burn up to the point

That we drowned out God's original intention and plans

Like the stars

God's plan is always there and is always working it's works

Either if we can see it or not

The problem is when we as humans think that we know best and think that we got it handled

We try to shine to the point where

Eventually

Others are blinded to the original good that we actually intended

Just food for thought
