The weather today was really nice — just on the edge of rainy. The kind of day where it feels like everything is sort of taking a nap, taking it a little easier. I opened the windows in my office to let in the breeze, even if it did let in a few bugs as well.
Toby, the camp cat, has apparently been causing some mischief. He’s been tearing up the furniture in my Director’s house, specifically one of her ottomans. And so she covered it in cardboard so… he went deeper into the house to claw at the second, more expensive one instead. Little brat — its a good thing he’s cute. My leg is still scarred up from when he lunged at me.
Feel pretty awful physically. Really wheezy and crampy… But I want to get some writing done today. We shall see how it goes.
Weekend goals… I wanna hang out with my friend, and go for a walk. I think I also want to work on the reference for Kajj’s sword, and maybe one of his tokens. There’s so much there ahhhh… would it be too much of a pain in the ass to have little interstitials about the Motherguard in Kajj’s story? Perhaps. But it is also my novel so who cares really? Perhaps I will just save them for extra bits on this blog.
One of the other mods on the server asked me about the hatch-signs of my various bugs, so I took the time to write all that out ahhhh. I’m not sure its of any interest to anyone but myself, but here’s the list:
The Motherguard:
Kajj: Hand
Qud: Foot
Sion: Head
Calix: Nonemergent
Yhinn: Hand
Saea: Teeth
Essin: Foot
Wess: Elbow
Kahna: Foot
Mother Siel: Teeth
Daughter Ula: Foot
Nu Motherguard:
Teema: Elbow
Keir: Elbow
Tup: Foot
Soldier: Hand
Elders:
Sear: Head
Eftee: Hand
Whinn: Head
Dorf: Elbow
Dinn: Teeth
Hiir: Nonemergent
Irn: Elbow
Rek: Elbow
Terr: Technically non-emergent, shared an egg with Rek who opened it
Elder Assistants:
Huun: Foot
Fea: Nonemergent
At lot of these are just based on Vibes™️, but it’s fun to think about. Astrology is fairly useful when trying to create dynamic characters, I think, even if you have to make up your own astrology to do it. Ha! For what it’s worth, Kajj is also a Libra. I gave him the birthday of October 16, which is a significant life date for me. I think he makes a good Libra.
A song for the day:
