I just can’t keep my eyes open any longer.
It’s funny. Normally I’m a lot less confident than I sound about a scheme. You’d think that knowing that the complicated part in all of this was coming up with a line of nonsense that New Californians could believe would be less stressful than trying to fool a Dominion Archmage, but somehow it was even more nerve-wracking. They had more eyes to pull the wool over, after all.
Then again, what choice did I have? Was I supposed to tell them, Trust me. The ambassador has a secret heroine addiction? They’d never believe that. I barely believed it myself.
Stenches!
One of the advantages, and curses, of necromancy is that you become quite the connoisseur of stenches. Your nose becomes attuned to the differences between the various charnel bouquets, to the point where ghulmen are almost willing to admit that you might approach their level.
Unfortunately, oldmen do not get the ability to find rotting meat piquant. The best we can do is simply keep the thought of the smell away from our gorge. So when I sniffed the presence of recently-killed vermin coming from the local descent to the Antiquity, I did not enjoy the experience. Or if I did, it was the enjoyment of someone who had just literally sniffed out a trap.
“Hold!” I muttered to Curwin and Marsh, both of whom were there to give me some physical safety while I performed my exorcisms. I can defend myself, but not while staring into the Veil. “There is death ahead. Many small deaths.”
“Christ on His Throne,” Curwin muttered, blanching and crossing himself, and I hastened to correct him.
“Not small human deaths, Lieutenant. There are a great number of dead rats and squirrels in the passage ahead.” I sniffed. “A remarkable number of dead pigeons, too. They are just now starting to rot.”
Huh. Apparently BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE wasn’t the load of steaming dung that I was more or less expecting it to be. I mean, Honest Trailers pegged it as being absolutely nostalgia bait, which it was. And they noted that it had been in Development Hell, which it was. And yet, they thought the movie… did what it came to do.
Go figure.

October 15th! Looking forward to this one: Trail of Cthulhu is a fun game, and GUMSHOE is my go-to when it comes to investigation games. Heck, my current and future indy TTRPG projects both use the game engine, so a second edition is of professional interest to me as well.
No, seriously. THE PENGUIN is, like, good. Proper good. Good-if-you-just-like-crime-sagas good, in fact.
I don’t blame you at all if you had no expectations about this show, because I had no expectations about this show and I had a great time watching THE BATMAN. But I had like three, four people in a row today saying that THE PENGUIN was awesome – and, when I checked it out, I realized I agreed with them. If you have Max, check this one out.

TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION 2: LIGHTS IN THE DARKNESS. I’ll be working on this a little today and tomorrow, and planning to get the books out to Kickstarter backers next week. And then it will be done, and we will be happy.
My relationship with NaNoWriMo has always been at arm’s-length. Every November, I sit down and try to get at least fifty thousand words out, because it’s great for getting me that crucial first draft. But I never got into that entire world. Good instincts, I suppose.
