Taughannock Creek, 8/24/14 (or so)
Sep. 2nd, 2014 09:17 amOur creek is full of water this year, what with all the rain.
This is up above all the falls, where there's no gorge sides & a much more mellow creek.

After And We Are Not Monsters.
The girl called Rohanna did not take well to the collar.
Viatrix had sympathy for that. Nobody in their house had ever taken well to submission and, to the girl, they were the enemy. They had stolen her from her crew at hawthorn-point.
What she did not have was tolerance. "No." She knew she was getting sharp, and could not manage to soften her tone. "No, what did I say?"
Rohanna snarled. "If I washed the floor I didn't have to wash the dishes."
"Try again, little mage."

alexseanchai's requested continuation of the "Samurai" thread
Gonna be a Samurai
Gonna Learn how to be a Samurai and
Being a Samurai Takes Work.
First Year
“Dancing is a good idea, Austin, Sianna. It teaches balance, rhythm, and a sense of where your body is n relation to your partner.”
It turned out that almost everything was useful to learning how to be a samurai, at least to hear Miss Ascha tell it. But the weird thing was, everything was also useful to learning how to be a dancer, like Sianna - even swords-training - or a teacher, like Ethelwin wanted to be - even the meditation exercises - or even a bounty hunter, which is what Sweetbriar wanted to be this week.
Austin wasn't sure if Miss Ascha was right; he wasn't even sure if she was being honest or if she was just encouraging them to learn their math and dancing and meditation. But Professor Inazuma and Principal Doomsday agreed with Miss Ascha, yes. Dancing was useful for being a samurai. Addition and subtraction were useful for being a samurai. And science and history were very very useful.
They were his teachers, and Austin was going to have to listen to them if he wanted to be a samurai.
