618 - Best Beef
I
had a little time to put myself back together and the day itself helped. Kallijas knew he was going to get very drunk
in procession, even if he just wet his lips with every drink he shared with the
crowd. He'd followed Virani-e's example
even if he was a tremendously easy drunk for Diem Inebriants Multifarious.

617 - Things Went White
Things
went white in my sight for an instant. When I came to myself I was on my knees.
He grabbed my hands. "I'm sorry... I thought I should warn you...
treason though some might see that as."
I pulled my hands free and went to my face in front of him, hands locked in my hair.
"No no, Minis, gehit, I mean... don't
do that..." I felt his hand on my arms, trying to raise me.

wasn't sleeping well, which was giving the world an unreal
quality. Tanifas was threatening to have
Akminchaer dose me if things didn't improve after the wedding. Gan and Fara
slept with me every night now and I mostly lay awake between them or on one side and
the questions fled through my mind over and over and over. What if I
wasn't ready? What if I hadn't learned enough? What if I

615 - The Deflinas and the Slobas
Kallijas
and I were both on the Presentation Balcony watching the end of the Kofabilgan ritual dances on Anae 20. Kall was in the full Regents regalia and sat
on the throne while I stood. I kept
having to shake myself mentally, look to what was different, because of the
times I'd been forced to stand calmly next to the fat guy while something we
watched something. Sometimes it had been

Stop SOPA
Stop SOPA/PIPA
So why are Karen and I not posting today, but doing a political action instead?
Because
there's two pieces of legislation being pushed through the United
States Congress right now that could limit what you can see on the
Internet, what you can post to the Internet and whether you can start a
business on the Internet... and could also seriously mess up the

613 - Morally Rotten
I'd been looking at lots and lots of weird animals and I hadn't found the right one yet. I mean... a two-headed snake, or one of those weird things from the Dragon city up north that they said were dragons... really from the desert south of Sria. It wasn't truly a dragon, but a big constrictor snake with tiny stumps of wings that didn't do anything and stubby front legs. It moved fast as a
