They were in Wyoming, watching the sunrise gild the mountaintops, which is to say, they were far, far away from the sea, so why did Christopher sense the sea was near? The freshness in the air could be Wyoming's own freshness, but what about the #tang of salt on his tongue? He half expected to hear a seagull cry.
"It's because of me," Molly said. "Didn't I ever tell you? I was conceived on a beach, under a cresting wave. Now, wherever I go, the sea goes too."

#Airisu: The Crow and the Witch
Himeji Castle (Airisu POV): Post 57
#Wss366 Tang #TimeTravelAuthors 8/22 WhateverArmed with the map of the fortress and its grounds, we continued toward the citadel. The parade of passages, gates, and courtyards along the way was bewildering. I had forgotten just how bad it was to be a ground-hugger. If only I could take off and fly, I would be at the castle within minutes.
The evening chill had set in by the time we passed through the last gate and entered the main building.
The Spartan interior took me by surprise. I’d been expecting opulence. The #tang of oil rather than incense flavored the air. Instead of tapestries and painted screens, stacks of supplies and siege equipment dominated the room. It was so cavernous I could have flown around unhindered.
On climbing to the next floor, we found the same thing. It was largely an open space with arrow slits in the walls. Guards were resting in small clumps, chatting. Their voices echoed eerily.
I imagined what the scene would have been like during wartime, with soldiers milling about. The air would have been filled with battle cries and the sound of flying arrows. Just the idea of their hectic motion made me want to seek shelter in the rafters.
Fortunately, the guards at the stairs and checkpoints were casual, and we reached the fourth floor without issue.
Of course, as the mountain shaman had warned, that’s where the problems began.
As we entered, I cawed, “We’ve been seen!”

🚀 Wow, 333 hours of #astronauts discussing #space trivia! Because apparently, nothing says "thrilling" like watching people float around and answer the same questions about #Tang for the millionth time. 🥱 If you’ve ever wanted to count #craters on the #moon while astronauts count the minutes until they can escape this Q&A purgatory, your dream has come true.

The short that I just finished took place in the Tang dynasty and a beta reader brought up a really interesting point: Isn't wool expensive? So let's talk textiles.
In the Tang, wool was the material of the commoners. Cotton which we typically associate with clothing would have been considered a foreign good and thus more expensive. Interestingly it was the poorest of the poor who dressed in linen and silk as we know was considered luxurious.
