The hazy smoke filling the room smelled of vanilla, raisin and burning cookies.

I snapped out of my work-mode, and raced to the kitchen, throwing open the window and turning off the oven.

"Timer! Why didn't you alert me?"

The enchanted device dutifully went, "Ding!"

"Oh no, I don't believe you, I definitely asked you to go off early."

"If you want me to go off, I will; those cookies were going to be abysmal, you ought to thank me."

30.5.: "Was ist auf dem Cover deines Buches abgebildet? Wer hat es erstellt?"

"Rotkäppchens Lied der Wölfe" - ein Premade von FrinaArt, aber es zeigt eine Szene aus dem Buch, als sei es extra dafür gemacht worden.

"Das Geheimnis des Monsieur Arnaud" zeigt die Protagonistin Colette vor dem Hintergrund des Quai Vauban in Besançon, und gezaubert hat es Hera N. Hunter.

"Hard day in the data-mines?" asked the elf, a slight frown on her face.

The dwarf scratched at her neatly trimmed beard, "Aye, is it really that obvious?"

"You went straight to the fridge and crushed a whole beer in one gulp - a good day you normally go for three with a bowl of peanuts."

"Oh, ah, aye... Hard to drink on a full brain."

"Then let's get pizza and watch a brain emptying movie."

"I love you so much."

"I love you too."

The mushroom ring was drawn in chalk, so I'd thought nothing of it...

As the fae realm drew me in, I tried to remember - was it just local fairy food that I needed to avoid? Was the lunch in my bag safe since I'd brought it with me?

"It worked! It's a human!" exclaimed an excited pixie.

"They-them, please," I blurted instinctively.

"They're a human! Humans exist!"

"Ugh, you won the bet, now let's send them back..." grumped an elf.

"I need an anti-itch spell," pleaded the human with an arm in a cast.

"Ah, for the injured limb?" asked the summoned demon.

"No, for the middle of my back, I can never quite reach it."

"I could just scratch that for you?"

"In exchange for...?"

"You could scratch my back," suggested the demon, flexing her wings restlessly.

"That's all?"

"The spell would cost you a first-born and probably a few toes."

"Let's get scritching then!"

"What did you do to my laptop?!"

The young mage beamed before noting the anger and dismay; deflating slightly, "I m-made it more secure?"

"You carved runes into the letters! And all around the lid, the base, there's goo on the camera..."

"T-the glyphs protect you from typos, battery failure, spam and spy-ware."

"Oh. Sorry technomancy wasn't a thing when I was your age. Thank you."

"That's okay, mom."

"What?"

"Er, I mean, ma'am!"

@ParadeGrotesque @anakin78z They're still a young wizard, that kind of counter measure take a few more years of training to get right.

Liz just wants a happy birthday.
Is that too much to ask?

A beautiful antique bed: her birthday present to herself. The nice delivery men set it up in her bedroom, and then all Hell breaks loose. Literally.

When it turns out the bed's former owner isn't basking in the glow of a happy afterlife, Liz must face some nasty adversaries to help him. Why on earth would she risk her life and her sanity to help a ghost? Certainly not because she’s in love with him.

Certainly not.

"When I grow up I'm going to be a fire-fighter!"

"There are fires in the ocean?"

"No silly, I want to fight fires with humans!"

The human child decided not to tease their fish-tailed pal, and instead talked about marbles and their mutual love of turtles and pizza.

Decades later, the human had to admit that the siren looked so happy atop the firetruck she was assigned to, screaming her lungs out as they raced towards a blaze.

"Kitty has an itch!"

There was a crash as the cat skidded out of the room.

Last time it had heard that word, the next word it had heard was 'bath'.

It did not like bath.

"Oh you poor thing," said a pixie disguised as a dustbunny, "Look at all those tangles."

A good long brushing later, kitty looked pristine and didn't itch at all. The humans thought each other had bathed it.

As thanks, the cat fetched the best left socks.
