#PennedPossibilities 1120: Saturday Word Edition: Share something from your WIP pertaining to the word “entertainment.”
I ended up ordering the roast duckling and peaches in Chartreuse jelly. The first was excellent, while the grassy flavor of the second didn’t agree with me.
Emily used the ivy growing on a trellis next to our seating to sneak sips of my consommé, while I indulged in oysters and a Champagne cocktail.

#WritersCoffeeClub – 6th Sept. If you work digitally, what keyboard or dictation do you use? If paper, what do you write with?
Digitally: I use a Corsair keyboard attached to my laptop. Some of the letters are wearing off.
Paper: Whatever pen is at hand. (A fine tip is better.) A notebook bought at Daiso if I am organized. Otherwise, scrap envelopes from bills.
#ScribesAndMakers – 6th Have you ever listened to an audiobook where the reader had a good voice, but not the 'right' voice?
No.
#ScribesAndMakers 5: Favourite colour of ice cream?
A name, maybe, but color not so much. I love the name "Rocky Road."
Color: Black Sesame, but I'm reaching.

#WritersCoffeeClub – 5th Sept. Do you track your word count? How? Why?
I don't do it for productive reasons, but I do do it for EP, chapter, and volume length.
How, it at the bottom of the LibreOffice window.

#PennedPossibilities 1118: Name a catastrophic event that occurred in your world / universe.
#TimeTravelingGhost: We have the Cretaceous–Paleogene Extinction Event. Seems more relevant when you were there.
#KonbiniIdol: There is the "Empress's Gift." Catastrophic enough that I even CW the portion where it is discussed in detail (Spoiler).

#ScribesAndMakers – 4th Sept. Reverse of last month's question: if e-books stopped being produced, how much would you miss them?
A bunch. 90% of what I read is ebooks. I'm trying to downsize my physical lib. too. So nice to have my complete library on one device.
Anyone in the Seattle area could probably talk me into giving them lucky boxes of yuri manga.

Empty Birthday (Chiya Birthday 2015) Part 2/2
** #IsTheOrderARabbit? (#GochiUsa) #FanFiction **
** #宇治松千夜生誕祭2025 #ChiyaBirthday **
#Wss366She stared, blinked, and stared again.
All her friends were there, serious looks on their faces. Her frowning Grandmother stood next to them, plus the Jinja twins.
Chiya’s heart raced as she waited for what should come next. But no happy birthday cheer erupted.
“Well?” Grandmother asked.
“You said there wouldn’t be a party,” Chiya managed to say.
Rize spoke first. “We’re not here for a party.”
Chiya waited, her stomach churning.
“We’re here for a picnic at the river,” Cocoa said, finally smiling.
“The beach should be empty today,” Chino said.
“Picnic? Wha?—You cheated!” Chiya wailed.
Grandmother stepped forward and handed her a basket. “Golden Kilimanjaro Chicken, Rising Sun Buns, and Tart Sunshine in a bottle. Plus, your swimsuit. Happy birthday! The Jinja twins will cover your shifts.”
•─────⋅☾☽⋅─────•
Chiya thought back on it as she stared across the empty blue river, seconds before Maya leaped into it.
“We’re too old for a party but not a picnic,” Rize said, handing her that bottle of Tart Sunshine.

Empty Birthday (Chiya Birthday 2025) Part 1/2
#IsTheOrderARabbit? (#GochiUsa) #FanFiction
#宇治松千夜生誕祭2025 #ChiyaBirthday
#Wss366The water bowl shone with a faint blue light. In it, Chiya saw her reflection and an empty, rippling blue. She stared for a full minute, hoping something would appear. Then, sighing, she recited a closing chant of thanks to Mizuhanome-no-Kami.
She reverently disposed of the water, wiped out the brass lotus-shaped divining bowl, and wrapped it in soft, blue silk. She’d been sure the bowl would reveal that her friends were actually holding a surprise birthday party for her. Surprise parties were almost a tradition at this point.
Feeling empty, she dressed for work. For some reason, Grandmother had scheduled her for a double shift. Normally, that wouldn’t be a problem, but today was her birthday. She shouldn’t have to work extra just because her family didn’t celebrate birthdays.
If she could have said her friends were doing something, she was sure Grandmother would have let her off, just this once. But they weren’t. The divination had been the last proof.
Yesterday she went to Syaro’s and found her mending clothes.
“I need to make plans for tomorrow. Is anything special happening?” Chiya had asked.
“No one has told me anything.” Syaro didn’t look up from replacing a button on her blouse.
“It’s my birthday,” Chiya said.
“Oh, that’s right. Happy birthday.” Syaro’s voice was flat as she bent forward, focusing on a stitch.
With a sinking feeling, Chiya left and #called Rize. Rize would tell the truth if pressed.
“I have to work all day tomorrow, but if you have plans for a party, I could get off,” Chiya explained.
“Party? No, there’s no party. I have to study late for exams,” Rize replied.
“It’s my birthday. There has to be a party, and I promise I’ll be surprised.”
“Honestly, I promise there isn’t a birthday party. We’re almost adults. Birthday parties are for kids.”
What could she say to that? “I’m still a kid.”
Rize wouldn’t lie to her, she thought as hope had drained away, leaving emptiness. Maybe they were tired of her. Were they thinking things like: “She thinks she’s a big business tycoon;” “She’ll put us out of business;” “Snob always dressing fancy?”
Empty, empty, empty. That’s how she felt as she finished dressing. If she put on her smile, no one would know how much it hurt.
“Get down here, you’re wanted,” Grandmother called.
She pasted her smile on, trooped into the café, and stopped. It was dim with the windows still covered. A dust mote drifted in a shaft of light. Somewhere, she heard Anko scurrying in the silence.
