  1. I did chuckle a bit. I'm glad I was never in any sort of HR position or had to train people. Hope you have a great week regardless 💜
  2. I can hear some others on here in my head, screaming, "Nooooo, @Tanchio—don't encourage him!" But it is very appreciated. Thank you for the comment. 💚 I need to make sure my onion layers get revealed consistently and in time before the core of the onions rots. I hope I'm on a good path! You are most welcome!

    Chapter 21

    This cliffhanger is amazing! And it's exhilarating reading through all the comments and the hurt of people having to wait. AND I DON'T HAVE TO WAIT! Except, I am waiting. Deliberately. I'm going to sleep, savoring the resolution for tomorrow. I know how to edge myself—yes I'm really that good.
  4. I keep thinking I need to get them out of the labyrinth or I will lose you forever. Only half-kidding. 😶 Thank you for your readership :3 💚
  5. Thanks, Chris. Much appreciated.
  6. Oh darn it. I revealed myself! Not sure the goings-on in my head are any better than a convoluted time travel story. But yeah, at least it won't be one of those. I actually wrote the ending a while ago. 😬 Just to keep myself in check.
  7. I actually dislike time travel.
  8. One of my last days at the day job! Hello everyone and good morning. 💚 It's such an odd vibe. We all go here still, do our best, and laugh about the state of things. It's a nice team and I will miss them. (In Germany, 3 months of full pay are guaranteed in case of a bankruptcy, so we're covered from January until March 31.)

  10. If you ask me, you can put zucchini into everything! But depending on what the allergy is triggered by, they might be a culprit, too.
  11. It does indeed look like couscous, has a similar texture, but tastes… hmm… more "whole"? Can't describe it really. I did find that recipe somewhere, and as I was trying to find new grain variants that are healthy, different, and local, I realized I probably didn't have millet before in my life. At least not when I was growing up. The German word is "Goldhirse". Not blaming you for not trying that salad with an allergy to cucumbers and a dislike of raw tomatoes 😂 Maybe I'll post my recipe for a tofu goulash stew soon. I have a particular fondness of bell peppers (German "Paprika").
  12. Groucho? Eccentric? Sarcastic? Grumpy? Makes you wonder what he's going through right now. 🤔 Thanks @drpaladin—your character analysis is vital. 😁💙
  13. Roughly. Does it? I hope that's not sarcasm. 😅 I hope you're less upset now that there's a definite plan… or at least a set goal concerning Mark. What would they do without her? She's the one connecting the clues and always has been. Thanks. It means a lot. 💚
  14. I made all of you so untrusting of me that you expect bad things to happen around every corner. 😂 I wonder if people can guess what they'll be stepping into, and most of all who will be there. Thanks, Mike! 💜
  15. Oh neither can I But I am limited by the physical realities of this life. And I sometimes sleep, too. I'm working on it. Thank you, @VBlew 🧡
  16. It seems she is the oldest, the wisest, yet her journey is the most unclear… the least affected by fate I would say. I can't just let this stand, so expect… the unexpected! Hopefully just Mark? Thank you. 💜

    I myself had such a slip-up before and simply edited it, nothing bad happened. It just worked. 😂
  18. Knowing the author, there might be surprises ahead. Thank you, @akascrubber 🩵
  19. That is high praise, @JohnnyC and I greatly appreciate it. As I reveal further layers of this universe, your engagement is what ultimately keeps me going. 💜
  20. Oh wow, @Anton_Cloche, you’re really reading what I’m writing. You have some hits and some misses but all things you mentioned right now should be answered in chapter sixteen. Everything else would just be a spoiler :3 Thank you 💙
  21. Oh come on! I gave you character development and so much INFO! 🥸 Thank you for being here 💙
  22. “It’s interesting,” Clara said. “What is?” I responded. “The way you both are mooning over each other right now.” “We are not!” Dave said. I nonchalantly withdrew my grip on Dave’s hand, disentangled my leg from his leg, made sure my head was upright and not leaning against the man next to me, and smiled at Clara. She had nothing on me. Clara shook her head and chuckled. “You left Deia’s presents behind, Dave.” He gripped his neck. Nothing there. “Fuck,” he said.
  23. I was never a judgmental vegan. I understand the appeal of meat, and sometimes I even crave it. I have just grown out of it? For now… Hell, I write werewolf stories… those people eat meat 😂, in my world at least in their wolf forms. Nature is way too complicated to be that restrictive.

    Aww, what a nice community this is. Thanks for reminding me. 💙 And yeah, @lawfulneutralmage's police details are brutally intense. I'm very much into it, and bow to the level of detail this author goes to.
  25. It was my go-to thing, a staple in my household, while I was living as a vegan. I dropped that when my life partner left me, and have rediscovered honey, eggs, and cheese. 😂 Still prefer (real Canadian) maple syrup over many other sweet additions.
