#Wss366 Chair“Psst! Is it all clear?” Clair asked. Her ghostly nightgown fluttered in the dark school hallway. It would have been disturbing to the other two girls, except they had more realistic fears: the headmistress.
“Yes, Mademoiselle D’Arcy is having fun with the servant,” Melissa replied, peeking out of her room.
The third girl’s, Eva’s, voice trembled as she spoke. “I’m not sure we should do this.”
“Then go to your room, scaredy-cat,” Clair said, shoving her.
Eva glanced back at the safety of her room and said, “They say the #chair is haunted. It can talk, and it will grab you somewhere it shouldn’t if you sit in it.”
“Scaredy, scaredy, scaredy-cat,” the other two chanted.
Cowed, Eva trailed the other two as they headed toward the headmistress’s room.
The hallway was dark and silent. The portraits lining the corridor frown down at them, lit only by their solitary candle. Each line on the painted faces seemed to communicate their disapproval of the girls’ late-night adventure.
The two minutes it took to reach the rear of the building felt like an eternity, but they arrived undiscovered.
Melissa peered into the headmistress’s moonlit parlor and reported on the #chair they’d come to see. “It looks like a man.”
“Sit in it,” Clair ordered, pushing Melissa into the room.
“No, YOU do it,” Melissa responded. “Or are you scared?” Her pale face, illuminated by the moonlight, was pulled tight with fear.
“No, I’m not,” Clair said. She walked across the room and sat in the #chair. “It’s hard and didn’t grab me. See nothing...”
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING!” a voice said.
The three girls shrieked and ran toward the door, only to plow into Lady D’Arcy and Sir James.

“Your Albion is excellent as well. Will you be staying long in New Amsterdam?” the woman asked.
“I find I am to be conveyed as far as Yerba Buena. After that, one simply continues.” Lady D’Arcy seemed to be losing interest in the woman who had intruded on her morning reverie.
“Oh, you must be a missionary then.”
The edges of Lady D’Arcy’s lips turned up; her eyebrows lifted. “Hardly. I find I must seek my fortune. But I am afraid your name eludes me.”
The reproof in her statement was lost on the woman who responded. “That must be because I haven’t introduced myself. I'm Gladys Nightly—spelled with an N. They dropped the K from Knightly as too Albion.”
“Well, Miss Nightly without a K, it is past my morning meal. I shall be faint if I forgo it.”
“Then I’ll join you. Since you are seeking your fortune, would you be interested in teaching French to students at my school?”
Having turned her back to leave, Lady D’Arcy’s smile was hidden from the woman. A crocodile could not have looked more pleased.
"I would be honored to have you join me at my table, Miss Nightly."

The penguin led the Ranger through the doors and into the back of a huge, dim, warehouse that was divided up into cubicles. It was dingy and had a musky odor mixed with the acrid smell of cleaning solution. The penguin maintained a line of #patter as they walked back.
"Most of the androids we have are in the form of animals," the penguin said, as he waddled along. "Having animal androids was a fad for a while and vast numbers were replicated. But now they've fallen out of fashion." #wss366 -
CW: Amateur radio software UI design, and the words used.
For the first few months of using WSJT-X I continuously thought there was a problem.
But no, it was just sub-optimal UI design.
https://wsjtx.groups.io/g/main/topic/runaway_tx_watchdog/87249851
A quote from the WSJT-X mailing list user, who is likely an engineer, and has experience and training in radio communications:
"Runaway TX watchdog” sounds like an error...watchdogs always indicate an error, not a feature."

[Continued from previous post]
I put down the first letter, picked up the second, and began reading it.
Today, I visited Dr. Faust to clarify some #points about time-travel.
I’m glad I don’t live in the Middle Ages. It was smelly and uncomfortable-looking. I wouldn’t eat anything there.
The doctor appeared only mildly surprised by my visit and proposed a question exchange, which I agreed to.
Who or what are the ICE-Nine rabbits? He responded, “I don’t know what ICE-Nine is, but the rabbits are God’s guardians of time.” He seemed serious, though I doubted his answer. It’s more likely that they’re demonic agents. For heaven’s sake, according to that newspaper, they tortured and assassinated me.
Have you ever tried to change history? He answered, “Unsuccessfully. I’ve tried saving my lover, Marguerite, several times, but to no avail. It takes something big to alter history.”
Legend has it you sold your soul to Satan. What really happened? He laughed. “The devil, God—are they not the same? I have torn my soul loose from the world, but I have not sold it. I have sworn allegiance to the Illuminated Ones, and they have promised me knowledge beyond my wildest dreams. No matter what history says, I am not wrong. You should do the same before God’s wrath falls upon you.”
I stopped again. “I’m Glad we didn’t visit Faust. It sounds like he’s one of the bad guys.”
Emily waved her hand for me to continue.
There was a knock at the door just then, and my host said, “There they are now. You should leave or be prepared to swear an oath to them. God’s emissaries will show you mercy.”
I did the former. No good could come of dealing with the Illuminated Ones.
“That’s it,” I said, putting the letters down. “I guess we’ll never know how or why they murdered me.”
“Not the details, but I think you got into the soup visiting Faust. Let’s not make the same mistake.”
That was one major option out, so I suggested an alternative. “Given what has worked, I bet it’s possible to visit an opponent of the rabbits.”
“And end up meeting one of those prehistoric monsters we saw in the mural. Bad idea.”
“I wonder if saying ‘meet an ally’ would work better?”
“Might. I #lean in favor of that. But before we decide our next move, let’s get dressed and explore the ship.”

Emily nodded in response to my question, so I began reading the first letter.
This was my first trip, so I started conservatively and jumped ahead a week to find the newspaper I needed for Professor Skully. However, time-pressure swept me all the way to April 2026. Things haven’t improved there. According to a student paper, there’s a war in the Middle East. ICE-Nine was running unchecked and was pepper-spraying protesters and killing opposition figures. The newspaper claimed that i9 was behind my murder.
MY MURDER!!!
Why didn’t you guys warn me about that? If I knew more, maybe I could avoid being killed!
I stopped reading to say, “Burned.”
“It wouldn’t have made a difference,” Emily said, shrugging. She then rolled onto her back and said, “Continue.”
I went to visit Professor Skully to learn more about my death. However, I found i9 agents in our building, accompanied by the creepiest rabbits I’d ever seen. At least you warned me about them. Rather than risk being caught, I traveled home right away.
“What do you make of that?” I asked Emily.
“You can travel into the future, but it’s unreliable. You can return to your starting #point. And that you’ve stirred up the Illuminati/Knights Templar/Lapin Cabal. Whatever we’re going to do, they want to stop it.”
“Lapin Cabal, I like that.”
“Did you notice anything else?” she asked.
“Nope, that sums it up. Oh, there was the abbreviation for ICE-Nine.”

#Wss366 Rabbit / Easter #MastoPrompt Boredom #TimeTravelAuthors 04/5. Games in your story
[Continued from previous post]
Once I was out of sight, I whispered, “We need to head Ms. Dubois off before they learn about the letter cache. Be ready to time-trip if the #rabbits spot us.”
It didn’t come to that. The rabbits were focused on the professor.
We were also fortunate that the path the professor was on curved down into a ravine and then backtracked to the statue. That meant we could dive straight through the woods using an unofficial trail. The extra time allowed us to be cautious.
Periodically, we glimpsed ICE-nine uniforms and hid. It was a grim game of hide-and-seek. It kept #boredom at bay but was nowhere near as fun as playing pinochle or bezique with Emily.
While on our way, I came up with a plan and manifested a loose-fitting trench coat, fedora, and surgical mask. I also doused myself with Old Clipper cologne to hide any unique smells. Sus, I am sure, but I figured in the dim light I would pass as a man, someone clearly not Henrietta Bijou.
I was ready by the time we stumbled out of the ravine onto the path. I leaned against a tree, panting. A new idea occurred to me, and I hurriedly manifested an empty bottle of cheap vodka. Then I waited for my living counterpart to arrive. As she drew near, she moved to the far side of the trail. Yeah, I was suspicious, definitely creepy.
A look of terror came over Ms. Dubois’ face as I lurched across the trail. “Flee! The rabbits are on to you,” I whispered. Finished, I staggered away, dropping the liquor bottle. Lurching explained.
To my relief, the professor turned back, hurrying in the direction she had come from.
I turned in the other way and rushed to the tree to fetch the notes that were already there.
Emily drifted up as I shoved the papers into a pocket of my coat. “That was a plucky move,” she said.
