#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.

If there was one, I don't think I would tell.

#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.

#TimeTravelAuthors 09/3. How much time passes in your story?
As the characters experience it, a few weeks.
As the world (time-particle) experiences it: From the Paleogene extinction event until 1,802,701 CE, or roughly 68 million years.

#WritersCoffeeClub 8/24. Talk about a time you realised something about a writer through their works
I feel like a contrarian this morning. I don't think about the author when I read.

#WritersCoffeeClub ~ How well did this short month go for you, in terms of writing?
#ScribesAndMakers ~ How did your month go?
- #KonginiIdol is being uploaded EP by EP. It's all writing. So I've been a bit at loose ends, writing flash and working on two "new" novels.
- "#Bijou the #TimeTravelingGhost," an Edgar Rice Burroughs X Jack Vance style pulp. I have mixed feelings about it. 20K is written. I need to do another polishing and adaptation pass for broader release. And I need #BetaReaders.
- "#Airiusi: The Crow and the Witch." A Tanith Lee-style Mythpunk story. 5K written. The early release is getting favorable remarks. The main narrator is a #Crows, which is both fun and challenging to write.

CW: #Wss366 #MastoPrompt #MicroPrompt : Cats and Food
Minashi-by-the-Sea (Greetings)
#Wss366 #MastoPrompt #MicroPrompt 8/18
The caravan descended the hills of Neither Lang with hurried steps toward fabled Minashi-by-the-Sea, passing through plum and sakura trees in eternal bloom.
No guards greeted them, for none dared invade. The bones of three times three armies lay bleaching on Neither Lang’s slopes, and none knew what dread curse had felled them.
Instead, crickets in bamboo cages and bush warblers perched on open fretted enclosures serenaded them as they #filed through ivory gates. Then, the merchants lining the streets sang out their wares: salt-cured #limes, cocoa #nibs, flower petal silks, and food—sakura mochi, citrus tuna, roasted lime-slaked corn, and chiled sprats.
The travelers hurried to cedar-shaded inns, famous for eel stews redolent with rosemary and pickled limes. With their camels stabled and wares piled high for sale the next day, they sought beds with fine linen sheets sprinkled with lime blossoms.
Thus, Kurotsuki Kaibyō, the dream-stealing catkin, came to Minashi-by-the-Sea.

Sweet Tea (甘茶)
Part 3: Thief (泥棒) Part 1
#Wss366 #Mastoprompt 7/22
#FanFiction #TheApothecaryDiariesMao had the name of the thief now. In a way, it didn’t surprise her. He wasn’t above short-changing clients and bought obviously stolen materials. All petty stuff, and stealing the Gān Cǎo fit the pattern.
She swore he was hiding from her. His spot in the market alley sat empty. It was clean, as far as alleys went. She wouldn’t eat there, but she wouldn’t catch anything walking in. Just as important, the worst you’d find here was a second-rate pickpocket. The vendors likely chose this location for its low rent, and because it wouldn’t scare off decent townsfolk with a little coin to spare.
On one side, a vendor with a thin #stock of secondhand clothes spat and shrugged when she asked about his neighbor’s whereabouts. The fortune teller on the other side was more forthcoming, if not more useful.
“I know not,” she said, “but for twenty wen I can send a spirit to seek him out.”
For a moment, Mao considered saying that “Five wen was already too much.” But five seconds spent on the woman were already more than her services were worth.
Rather than waste more time, she headed back to the apothecary. She had an inventory to finish and other work to do. There was a better way to find the thief than the #taxing . It might take some time, but it was surer than any spirit desperate enough to visit that alley.
On her way to the apothecary, she stopped to talk with Ukyou. He was at his usual place. Most of the women were still sleeping, so he could sit and soak up the sun, sip tea, and think his private thoughts. Madam sometimes complained he was wasting time, but he did his job well, defusing most irate customers and throwing the rest into the street without a fuss. He never forgot the face of a problematic client. He greeted everyone with a smile and made even the once-a-year splurger feel seen and welcome. Whatever Grandma paid him wasn’t enough, so all she did was grumble about him enjoying the late morning sun.
Mao smiled at Ukyou. Like all the other women at Verdigris House, she liked him. “Ukyou, when you see Chou-u, tell him I need to find someone. It’s a twenty wen job.” Her “adopted” son would be happy to earn a little extra money. He pinched wen as hard as Grandma did.
“I will, and thanks for helping Amacha,” he replied. “She’s a little better today. She even had time to complain about your interfering ways. I think she likes you.”
“She ought to,” Mao said aloud, but privately doubted it. People never like the person who gives them bitter medicine.
“The day is going well, even though I haven’t found my target,” she thought. “Maybe I’ll splurge on a pork bun for dinner.”
