Having disposed of the bear's head a few days ago due to the increasingly unpleasant smell, I had been lacking in conversation but had made do. I peed on the bear pelt in its hole and poked it with the end of my digging stick. I had no idea if it was working or not. The skin was...
2024-12-31 18:10:18 +0000 UTC View PostWaking up was a gradual process. I’d spent most of the night hovering between true sleep and paranoid wakefulness. Grumbling to myself about mattresses and duvets I started out by inspecting the deadfall traps. The first five had all killed mice. The mice were now very f...
2024-12-31 17:58:32 +0000 UTC View PostNot only had some asshole installed Excel in my brain: the system seemed to like to work in decimals. Only health and mana were out of the single digits on my starting status. I mentally reached out and clicked on my health to spend a stat point.
Health: 76/100<...

There is some administrative stuff I want to cover in addition to wishing you all a happy new year:
228 is the end of Carnival. I leave it to you to fill in the blanks about the teams adventures from this point onwards. I hope you've enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed wri...
2024-12-31 16:35:09 +0000 UTC View PostIt turned out, to no one's surprise, that the bear meat tasted bad. Once my pot of water had boiled for a few minutes I let it cool then drank my fill. I’d peeled and chopped the potato-like tubers then cooked them in the remaining water with a couple of handfuls of berries while I ...
2024-12-30 18:45:09 +0000 UTC View PostI stayed still for a few minutes as I let the aches and pains wash over me. The cuts across my back itched and the burns on my hand made the skin painful when I moved. My eyes followed the wisps of smoke rising from the huge corpse of the partially burned bear as the heat finally diss...
2024-12-27 18:20:22 +0000 UTC View PostStupid. Stupid. Stupid. I’d spent so long hunting in the concrete jungle that I’d formed bad habits when it came to good old mother nature who remained, as ever, red in tooth and claw. I silently cursed my lack of professionalism.
Fortunately old instincts and hard earned tr...

Happy Christmas! 🎅

I wasn’t sure if it was my suddenly heavy eyelids simply falling down or if blood loss was sending me into unconsciousness. But there hadn’t been any blood on the others...
2024-12-25 08:12:56 +0000 UTC View PostAs the glass scattered across the ground to my right hand side something seized me. I couldn’t even move my eyes which were unfortunately locked on the impressive cleavage of the bitch with green eyes who had just materialised in front of me. It felt as though unimaginable pressure ...
2024-12-20 18:41:42 +0000 UTC View PostI stopped the car I'd rented under an alias with a freshly stolen card in the company car park and stepped out. I was looking extremely waiter-ey. I’m not sure if that can be used as an adjective but it’s how I felt. Black trousers and jacket, white shirt and in keeping with...
2024-12-16 20:18:10 +0000 UTC View Post“Nope. It’s a stupid way to do it,” I said flatly. This lady was an unknown quantity and Jimmy should have known better. The fact her plan was batshit insane and needlessly complicated was just the icing on the cake. “Aside from anything else: it’s unprofessional...
2024-12-12 20:50:57 +0000 UTC View PostHi!
You may have noticed that the Carnival story is building towards it's finale. I had planned to stretch it out longer but I honestly felt that it was getting stale. I had also written myself into a corner with the system allowing for exponential growth so I'm working on the final secti...
2024-12-12 20:47:19 +0000 UTC View PostAs thank you to you lovely people who support me on here I've got some codes to share! They are only for the US and UK I'm afraid so if you're lucky enough not to live in either of those countries... sorry but the codes won't work.

Zeeg briefly assessed her options and decided to take the portal back to the Downs then head towards the keening she could now hear every couple of minutes. She padded quickly along, the humans naturally giving her the space she deserved as she passed.
She walked through the portal an...
