I imagine with some tweaks you could make a blob on your head look like a hat, though a head sized one would be a bit much.

One might consider them a symbiot, but I still look at them as parasites. This is the first they've seen after five hundred years on this planet. We might wonder if they could control creatures with higher brain function, like humans?

ulotrichous - Word of the Day - Sun Jul 7, 2024
drpaladin commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
Latin borrowed from the Greek oulotrich-, oulothrix, meaning having curly or woolly hair. -
Jem has great instincts and a quick mind. He reacted when others might have been frozen in shock. He also knew with his small weapon to aim at the beast's most vulnerable spot. Those inward lasers did the trick. If this ratchets up, the equatorial seas won't be the only ones mariners fear.

This turned from a hunt to a fight for survival rapidly. It appears these odd parasites are the key.

Ubiety was formed by combining the Latin ubi, meaning where with the English suffix -ety.

Didn't a guy named Mel something do that?

Don't forget, George has the property and money the Tsar gifted him for a new townhouse by Earl Spencer's place.

Jem's father sold the pelts they took to be worn by the wealthy. Where there is wealth, there is money of some kind.

This is the onset of the disease which will eventually claim Amelia's life. She has a long and persistent battle ahead of her. Carmella is as skilled at being a courtier as she is with her artistry and showmanship. She is proving to be an admirable asset to George. This tour of duty has passed by swiftly.

People in the Southern Hemisphere are annoyed? It is mid-winter there now.

If this were an old Earth whaler, it would take more crew to operate, anywhere from fifteen to forty depending on ship size.

No one has commented on this world's bleak appearance. The sea is described as being grey rather than blue, which would indicate the sky is grey as well. Earth's sky is blue due to Rayleigh scattering causing the blue spectrum of sunlight to scatter more. What is causing this grey, the Tyndall effect?

But you remained stonefished.

Well, to keep in synch with Earth, they would need to measure time in Earth years. In addition, it reads to me the human lifespan is longer than ours is now.

nugatory - Word of the Day - Fri Jul 5, 2024
drpaladin commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
From the Latin nugatorius, meaning trifling or futile. -
Jem's idea about inward guns was insightful, though it's difficult to see how orx could board a ship at this point. I do believe Nico has his eyes set on Jem from his actions and probing questions.

Geron has crafted a very new adventure to entertain us with an entirely different set of characters and challenges. Sailing the seas on a distant planet is distinctly terrestrial for a space tale. It's too soon to guess what will happen, but I know it will be fun. So the ships are ?steamers. What is the fuel?

This one has been the the wilderness of lost words since the 1840's. -
