#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.

#ScribesAndMakers – 2nd Jun. Share a line from something you've read today (with credit.)
I knew myself to be on the threshold of a new order of experience—of an ecstasy. Something drew me forth with a sense of inexpressible yearning towards the being of this strange old man in the window seat, and for a moment I knew what it was to taste a mighty and wonderful sensation, and to touch the highest pinnacle of joy I have ever known.

Paper Cranes Part 3 (Good Fortune Cranes)
#FanFiction #IsTheOrderARabbit (#GochiUsa)
#Wss366The street was gorgeous, with each shop and stall adorned with strings of colorful cranes.
“Look!” Chiya showed off a unique crane-shaped taiyaki [Note 1] that she had bought. “I have to learn to make these. Customers would love them: cranes, capybaras, cats, tanuki, and…”
“Usagi, rabbits,” the other girls chimed in.
Chiya nodded enthusiastically. “An Anko taiyaki with bean paste; cranes with custard…” She continued until she had exhausted all the possible animals.
The other girls had stopped listening and ran to a temple booth.
“I got a ‘Good Fortune,’” Rize said, unfolding the yellow crane he had bought at the temple.
“Mine is a ‘Tremendous Fortune,’” Syaro said, showing her blue crane to the others.
“It’s a ‘Bad Fortune,’” Chino said, holding out the red crane she had bought.
The girl selling them leaned over the edge of the stall, showing Chino a paper boat. “You’re so lucky. What you have is better than good luck. You can rid yourself of ill fortune by setting your crane sailing across the lake. All your bad luck will float away with it. Then come back and get a new fortune. Isn’t that wonderful—to exchange bad luck for good?”
“Yes, please,” Chino said, taking the boat from the woman.
Armed with the boat, they ran to the lake.
“Wow,” Megu said. The others just stared, mouths agape.
Before them, the lake spread out in an indigo-blue sheet. Light clouds floated above in an azure sky. A few paper boats floated lazily on the water’s #surface, amid dozens of cranes that had gathered there.
“Quadrillion,” Maya said in awe.
Chino placed her boat in the water, while Cocoa held her so she wouldn’t fall in. Then, carefully, she pushed the boat out into the lake.
“Oh, look,” Rize said as the boat sailed out among the cranes and then stopped where a gray crane examined it curiously.
Midori patted Chino’s head. “Looks like good fortune found you.”

Paper Cranes Part 3 (A Googolplex of Cranes)
#FanFiction #IsTheOrderARabbit (#GochiUsa)
#Wss366By the time the adults caught up with the girls, Maya was bursting with excitement. “There are thousands of them—thousands upon thousands of paper cranes! A googolplex worth.”
“What’s a googolplex?” Syaro asked Rize.
Fortunately or unfortunately, Cocoa overheard, “Ten times a googol, which is ten to the hundredth power.”
At the same time, Maya offered a simpler explanation. She swept her arms wide and said, “That’s a googolplex and a bazillion #gay-colored cranes.”
Midori’s explanation was even simpler: “It’s a lot.”
“So many definitions,” Takahiro said, looking at Midori. “I wonder what would happen if I asked for the definition of love.”
The kids hadn’t heard, having dashed ahead, and Midori missed his glance.

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.

Paper Cranes Part 2 (In Praise of Hott Cocoa)
#FanFiction #IsTheOrderARabbit (#GochiUsa)
#Wss366 #MastoPrompt #MicroPrompt 9/13Takahiro and Midori watched the girls with their eyes, smiling as they saw Maya and Megu stare at the paper cranes decorating the shop. Chino, more reserved, peeked over their shoulders.
Meanwhile, Cocoa bought the tickets and tried corralling the girls, only to be sucked into their excitement.
“They’re so happy,” Midori said, “Practically #luminous.”
“Even Chino,” Rize said, bashful at joining the adult conversation. “The shop is so much fun to work at now.”
She hurriedly added, “Not that it wasn’t before.”
“Even if you have to clean up Cocoa's messes?” Midori asked.
“It #bugs me sometimes, but even then. How could I not? She makes you smile. Even Chino is brighter now. She used to hardly ever smile.”
Takahiro nodded. “We can thank Cocoa for that. I was worried at first about letting her stay with us, but it’s been a #blessing.”
“And we’ve made lots of new friends because of her.” Rize smiled at Chiya and Syaro.
The girls smiled back.
“There’s something about her,” Chiya said. “She’s so scatterbrained, but she brings people together. It’s hard not to have fun around her.”
“Go on, you three join them,” Takahiro said. “You don’t really want to be with the stodgy adults. There’s time enough for that.”
The three girls looked at each other, then Rize nodded. She turned to the adults and said, “It’s been nice speaking with you, Takahiro-san. You too, Midori-san. But you’re right; we belong with them.”
The girls set off after their friends at a trot.
As he watched them leave, Takahiro said to Midori, “They grow up so fast.”
“Too fast, I think,” Midori added.

Paper Cranes Part 1
#FanFiction #IsTheOrderARabbit (#GochiUsa)
#Wss366 #MastoPrompt (8/26 Cranes, somehow this one never got posted.)“Where are we going?” Maya asked. She was leading the other girls, bouncing more than walking.
“That’s a surprise,” Midori said, with a laugh tugging at her lips.
“Dad, where are we going?” Chino asked more quietly than the others. She held Takahiro’s hand on one side by choice, and Cocoa’s on the other at Cocoa’s insistence.
“You’ll know when we arrive,” he answered. “It was Midori’s idea, and it’s her surprise.” His smile radiated joy equal to Midori’s.
“I know,” Cocoa said. “We’re going to the park, the one with the carousel.”
“The park is the other way,” Chiya said, pointing. Her kimono sleeves caught the cool morning breeze. The green of her dress matched the summer vegetation. Next to her friends in casual dress, she looked regal.
“It’s toward the lake,” Rize said. “Perhaps we're going swimming?” Her glance strayed to Syaro. Catching her eye, she nodded thanks for teaching her to swim.
“It can’t be swimming; we didn’t bring swimsuits,” Megu said.
The two adults nodded in agreement. Instead of answering, they listened to the girls' chatter.
Syaro finally spoke. “I know where we’re going, and you should too, Chiya. We were just talking about it last night.”
“Oh, the…”
“Shush,” the adults said, almost drowned out by the chorus of “Where, where, where are we going?”
“Look! It says ‘#Crane Viewing.’” Cocoa pointed to a pastel blue banner.
“Go on, and run ahead if you want, but don’t bother anyone.” No sooner had Takahiro spoken than the younger girls began running. Chiya and Syaro continued strolling, while Rize and Cocoa decided which group to join. The former joined the “Ladylike” group, while Cocoa continued looking after Chino and the rest of ChiMaME. "I have to look after my little sister.”
Midori chuckled and said, “That's the duty of a big sister.”
Takahiro winked at Midori knowingly and said to Cocoa, “Go on, here is the money to buy tickets. We'll join you.”

Rabbit House Obon (ラビットハウスお盆)
#IsTheOrderARabbit? (#GochiUsa) #FanFiction
#MicroPrompt #MastoPrompt 8/13
Takahiro held the amber #malt up to the #light, showing his appreciation with a tiny nod, then handed it to Midori.
Rabbit House was currently quiet, with Aoyama Midori being the only customer. She took a sip and sighed with contentment. “Nice.”
“Are you visiting anyone for Obon?” he asked, leaning against the bar. With just Midori and himself, he could relax. It was a soft, warm evening, perfect for that.
“My daughter. It was a swimming accident.”
“I’m sorry.” He paused. “I didn’t know you had a daughter.”
“I don’t talk about it. Maybe I’ll write a story about her someday, but right now, cute will do. Chino reminds me of her. Cute, quiet, shy, good kid. I miss her.”
“Where is she?”
“Cimetière du Lapin Vert. Tomorrow morning, I’ll buy some flowers, marigolds. She loved them, and they’re bright like her smile.”
“Would you mind taking Chino? Her mother wanted to see her.”
She nodded, and Takahiro slid another malt whiskey across to her. “On the house.”

Green Gable
#Wss366 #Mastoprompt #WordWeavers 21. How much detail? Part 4.
The tall gabled house stood on a hill with cottonwoods sheltering it from the dry wind. That was my first impression as the buggy drove toward it. We were traveling just fast enough for the red dust kicked up by the wheels to drift behind us in a lingering plume.
The weathered cowhand driving spat tobacco and muttered, “Durned if I know why they put’er there.”
As we drove up, the chickens, lazily scratching in the yard, scattered. An old rusty hound peered at us from under the porch, then went back to sleep.
The house was as sleepy as the hound and the slowly drifting cottonwood fluff. Peeling white paint revealed gray wood, as soft as a dove. A #green #shutter in the high gable caught my eye—half-open, gazing at the newcomer.
This was my new home. I wondered if it would be better than McMyrt’s Orphanage.
Note: The house is the character.

Goldenrod and Dandelions
アキノキリンソウとダンディライオン
🐰 #IsTheOrderARabbit 🐰 #FanFiction
Syaro sighed, “A double shift, and on my birthday too. Being poor is hard.”
It would have been a lovely evening with a golden haze on the hills and quaint shops preparing to close if only it weren’t so hot. Instead, the sun beat down on her, more like molten #gold than a gilded evening greeting. Even the cobblestones radiated heat.
It had been a long day. The second-shift girl had gotten sick at the last minute, and customers looking for a shady place to sit and a cooling tea flooded the Fleur de Lapin café. Iced Lapin Glacé was popular, and there had been half a dozen orders for the less popular Concomelon de Lapin. But none of her friends had visited.
She was worn out and depressed. If she were Cocoa or Chino, everyone would have dropped by without fail. Not even her best friend Chiya had come by.
She was rounding the last corner home when she glimpsed Rize darting from behind a hedge. “Oh, it’s a surprise party,” she thought, cheering up. She wouldn’t let Rize know she’d spotted him. Letting them think they’d surprised her was more important. Why had she doubted them?
A smile touched her lips, a genuine one, not her usual customer-service smile.
She paused at the threshold, breath held. She’d expected a surprise, but not like this. Golden blooms lay gathered at her feet: goldenrod, goldsturm, hawkweed, and dandelions, bright as summer laughter.
“How wonderful!” She began gathering an armful of blooms to put in a vase when her smile froze. Wild Geese, her self-invited bunny housemate, had come around the corner, a #plant in its mouth and a mischievous twinkle in its eye. Syaro’s eyes fastened on the golden yellow blossom of the tansy.
“At least Wild Geese remembered,” she said. Bitter and unhappy, she took her wildflower bouquet into the house.
Sunflowers
Glorious SunflowersAlong the wall, hanging from the ceiling, in bunches or singly, the room smiled at her.
On the table stood a yellow cake, its thick whipped frosting as soft and light as a pale yellow peony, with the words “Happy Birthday!!!” in marigold letters.
All her friends began singing to the blushing Syaro.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.Then, Syaro nearly fainted as Rize presented her with a bunch of yellow roses. “Rize...” she thought, “roses.” Her mind drifted like buttercups on a stream. All she could do was mutter, “Senpai.”
Happy birthday, dear Syaro.
Happy birthday to you.🐇 #GochiUsa 🐇 #ごちうさ 🐇

#ScribesAndMakers 12 If you could visit a fictional world, would you? If so, which one?
The world of "Is the Order a Rabbit?" I could sit in a tea shop and discuss books and writing with Aoyama Midori.
And I don't want to think about this too deeply because I would start finding the flaws in this paradise.

#WordWeavers 10. You have to leave Earth, and you can only immigrate to one of the settings you’ve written. Where do you go? Part 2.
If you include my fanfiction, then the world of "Is the Order a Rabbit?" A nice, innocent place where the worst problems are breaking a wine glass. There are many wonderful coffee and tea shops. I could sit and drink tea while talking with Aoyama Midori about writing. The wild rabbits are tame enough that, if you are careful and gentle, you can pet them
It's an ideal world.

#FanFiction #IsTheOrderARabbit?“Look at the #produce,” Chiya said. “These apples, paired with salted caramel! Let’s see, what would I call it? ‘Brighton Beach in Autumn.’”
“I’m so glad you suggested visiting your parents,” Chino said, looking around.
“And the farmer’s market. Who would have thought it would be this exciting?” Rize stared at the people bustling about.
“Look at the teacup I found.” Syaro showed off her find. “So delicate and cheap.”
“And these Comice pears, just right to slice on vanilla ice cream...”
“Smell these dahlias. The scent, heaven. Look...”
“Fresh clotted cream on mother’s bread...”
…“with lavender syrup.”
..."tomatoes."
..."smells like sunshine."

#FanFiction #IsTheOrderARabbit?
*** Swallow’s Waltz ***“Under here, everyone,” Maya yelled as the rain began.
It was dry under the railroad trestle. An odd mixture of old creosote and new rain scented the air. Cornflowers bloomed in the shelter of the old posts, the same soft blue as Chino’s hair.
Across from them, a shadowed area stretched under the tracks. “Let’s pretend a troll lives here. Fee. Fia. Foe…” Maya began.
“Let’s not,” Megu and Chino said.
Outside their shelter, a drizzle fell, but heavy cloud masses hinted at a downpour.
“Look, swallows,” Chino said, pointing. Outside the bridge, they darted between raindrops, catching and swallowing the evening gnats as they wove a dance.
“Woah!” Megu said. The magical moment entranced the three as they watched.
Chino squeezed Megu’s hand, eyes wide. “It’s like a waltz.”
Megu nodded. “A rainy-day waltz.”
Thunder rolled in the distance like drums warning of a climax, but the dancers continued the ballet for the three young observers.
Maya suddenly shattered the moment by making zig-zag motions with her hands. “Let’s run home. I bet I can dodge rain. The person who gets the wettest is a rotten egg.”
“No.” Chino was firm, the wonder still sparkling in her eyes.
“Look,” Megu said, pointing, “nests. I wonder if there are chicks.” The three peered at the mud-and-straw nests nestled beneath the bridge beams. It was another wonder on display.
“They must be ‘Mud Dobber Swallows,’” Chino said. “I saw them in a book at school. Let’s just watch.”
They lingered, the rain a gentle backdrop to their fascination, until Megu blinked. “The rain’s stopped. I want to show the others.”
“Yeah!” And off they ran to Rabbit House, accompanied by delighted shrieks as Maya discovered a rain puddle, followed by, “Hey, wait up!”

* Irratic: Sometimes I'm into sometimes not.
* Escentric: I do urban photography especially of curiosities, decay, or contrasting nature with urban. (Very niche)
* Pragmatic: I use the tools at hand and the scenes at hand. No fancy equipment, no fancy processing, no special trips to photograph things. I invested nothing but the time to get good at using what is on hand.

“Crarrk, Cawwk, boo, hiss.” #HeckleAndJeckle screamed as they threw food at the girls and random bystanders.
“This is as violent as this story gets,” Author said.
“No, no, no. You need to hurt Poe and TM,” Ghost pleaded.
“We’ll see,” Author said.

#writersCoffeeClub April 12. How would you write a story with a cast of one? Could you? Part 3
Here we go. One character cast, 100 words.
Onee-Chan to the Rescue
“Chino-chan has the flu. What should I do?”
Cocoa stood in the cafe, deep in thought.
“I already called Takahiro-san, and he’s getting a train home and should be back tonight. He said to close the cafe, and I did. I called the girls and told them not to visit. I don’t want them to get sick.”
“There has to be more big sister can do.”
“I know. I’ll make her an enormous, fluffy bun!”
“No, her stomach is too upset.”
“Rice porridge. That’s what Mom made.”
“I wonder where the rice cooker is?”
“Found it.”
