Monday Summary

LiveJournal was up and down and a little fuzzy on xposting all week. I tried to manually xpost the things with filtered locks, but everything else I'm leaving just on DW if it didn't crosspost.

Sandy gulped, and stared down at the... well, at the gnome, she supposed. "No," she admitted. "No, I've never seen a gnome before."

"And you still haven't," it cackled gleefully. "I'm a kobold, don'tchaknow. You tourists are all the same. Don't know anything, expect to have life spoonfed to you, and, when it comes down to it all you want it," it pitched its voice into a whine, "I wannnnnnna go hooooome."

"Well," she admitted, feeling a bit guilty about it now and a bit angry to be feeling guilty, "I do sort of want to go home. But mostly I want to know what's going on."

"Didn't I say that?" the thing, whatever it was, snapped. "Want everything spoonfed to you."

"And I didn't say that," she snapped right back at him. Behind them, the train whistle blew. "Oh, darn it." She twisted to look at the steam-powered thing. It was lovely in its own way. "It costs one tech. What would a tour guide cost?"

"A tour guide?"

30 Days Second Semester: 5, The Water Knot, Stranded World (Summer)

For the 30 Days Meme Second Semester, for the prompt "5) write a story using an imaginary color."

Stranded World, Summer & Winter, some time before she goes off to school. Landing page here and on LJ

I think Summer and Spring are very close in age. Does anyone remember her hair color?.

“Tell me what you see.”

“The water, the boat. The sky, and fish out in the distance.” Summer kicked her feet in the water. “Splashes.”

Her brother smiled indulgently at her, with that warning note in the cant of his eyebrow that said she should stop messing around soon. Stupid Spring, using up all the messing around. She obediently stared back out at the lake.

“The water moves the way it should. The strands are mostly blue, but there are a few lines of green, and some tangles of darker green. Algae blooms? And there’s sort of an… indiburple splotch there,” she pointed at a twisted triple-braid of color. “Someone did that on purpose; the strands don’t line up in celtic knots by themselves.”( Read more... )

30 Days Second Semester: 7, Colder Weather, Stranded/Autumn

For the 30 Days Meme Second Semester, for the prompt "7) prompt: frigid."

He said I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then...

Autumn did not like cold weather, a contradiction to her name that some mistakenly found ironic (she’d given up explaining that she and her seasonal sib’s names were meant to be part of a complex allegory; it never helped). She planned her circuit of fests, fairs, and shows in a roving loop that left her in the North in the hottest parts of summer, and brought her to the South for winter. She spent the few really cold times staying with friends; her van had plenty of insulation, but it was still a van-RV, not really a cold-weather vehicle.

I am NOT a new participant, but YOU COULD BE!
