In Middle English it was a broken down horse. It can also mean a disreputable woman. Jade is prized for luck in the Orient, but sucks as a name. You'd want an enemy to curse a child with a name like Jade. It's as lucky as Lucky. Lucky usually ends up the dog with three legs.

Bravo, @Myr Six of the Word of the Day's in one sentence.

So how's the weather? 😛

You keep this up and we might get the idea secrets are only going to be revealed slowly.

The muscle and bone structure are wrong. I do wonder if it's possible to partially transition parts of the body while retaining human form, like a human with a bear's claws. Or blend a shift between different animals.

There is a lot of information to take in over a short time. I hope Mac can keep all these different behaviors straight.

If you don’t know, it means more shiny for the rest. -

Which began the Hidden in Plain Sight trope. -

If you trained a cat to steal, would they be said to purrloin? They really would be a cat burglar. -

Dean Martin was another fake drunk. His drinks onstage were apple juice. Now Jackie Gleason's onstage "How sweet it is" coffee mug contained pure scotch. -
This was very well done, James and very unlike the Ravello tales. All the wonderful descriptive content was here, but the ghost aspect took me for a loop. I started to suspect something was off when he couldn't find his cell phone and then never followed up on it. How many teens could stand to be without one? Great job!

Deer may not like the leaves because they generally get stewed with them. -
We were going to go back and look for you in the tunnels. It's easy to lose folks while invisible.

bayberry - Word of the Day - Sat Jul 29, 2023

I associate bayberry with Christmas. We always burned the aromatic green candles during the holiday. The leaves are used to make bay rum. -
Good thing the dollar is so cheap then. Being in NY, you can use Canadian quarters.

Nothing in particular. I've always been a night owl. It was also easier to drive fast at night with no traffic and I liked to drive fast. Easy to do when the police won't stop you regardless what you do.

I used to enjoy prowling around at night.

The last and only gray mage we saw after encountering Porvus was the one with him who ran off. Before that they saw others in the city and others were out searching for them. Lodda had called others into space to 'help' him, but what could they do there? The ship managed itself and the repair bots were doing the work on the gateway. They weren't sensed on the ship. So where were they and why were they needed? Perhaps Lodda and the Oracle weren't as successfull in getting machines to use magic as we thought and those machines in the bay had to incorporate at least part of a gray mage in order to work.

One thing left unaddressed by all, what of the rest of the gray mages?

You can't run out of something you apparently can't use. No prison is inescapable. If you're familiar with Krypton lore, you'll recall the Phantom Zone; it was inescapable too.

Unity, love, and friendship saved the day. Lodda, Porvus, and the Oracle couldn't fully trust each other and work together in a meaningful way. Lodda was a narrow-minded fool. His plans would never have worked. They were based on too many flawed conceptions. The idea he would try to leave this system with only accumulated magic is one of them. There are still some unknowns. The ship was heavily damaged, but the Oracle still exists. Lodda is exiled to a prison of his own making, but he has an eternity to forge an escape. Anything is possible. There is the possibility of new adventures in the future and I hope we'll see them in time. This one was marvelous.

You might be surprised how popular it would be.
