AN A Late Post

I shall be posting late tonight... a few things came up and I haven't even started writing yet... sorry...

I will do my best.  Later, guys!

460 - Relations

I tell yah, Nuni, life just doesn't get much better for a writer, 'less its workin' for the Pages at their pay rates.  But the Donkey's Mouth gets better n' better with all the women and okas readers.  I got good stuff outa the new Imperator Regent and Imperator elect's campaign... lots of odd and wild women there...  cross castes... cross jobs.  The conservative Aitzas are gonna be screamin'

459 - The Endless Folds of a Red Rose

The party was still going and it was almost true dawn.  I sat in a niche in the baths at the Folly.  Mil had moved heaven and earth and paid a great deal to be at the forfront of the new trend to swimming in the city.  Very few of the older party goers were still there, or still conscious.  An older Aitzas betrayed his location with a fruity snore rising from the middle of a miniature garden,

April Fool - An Ancient Ritual by Isa

"No, trust me, you do it this way. Open your robe a bit."

Darmas gave his best friend a long skeptical look. He was not up for something like that right now, even less up for it outside where passing city Arkans could easily stumble upon them at any moment. The shadow of the Mezem was dark but it was still public, after all!

Then Fentzan produced the pail filled with liquid far too red

458 - A Red and Silver Dyed What?

The Folly in Extremis Manor was lit from top to bottom, with phoenix lights and red and silver banners in honour of the new Imperator Regent Elect and the new Imperator Elect.   Red and phoenix rose trees lined the carriageway.

"How in the earthsphere did he get all this set up so quickly?"  I said in a momentary lull in the noise of our escort. I was coasting beside Ky's chair while the

AN Still Not Well

I will try to post today.  I am still not well.  Things came up.  Just to let people know.

Hugs....

AN: Continuing eye problems

Hey guys... my eyes are still not right and I spent the whole _&(*^*%%% day in the specialist's office.  I'm now dripping two kinds of eyedrops into my one eye, and am dilated all to hell, so seeing this is kind of chancey...

My apologies but I must beg off writing a post today.  I shall be returning to the Party of the Century in Arko tomorrow.

Ciao!

457 - Fashionably Late, Scandalously Attired

Kyriala turned to Riala and threw her arms around her friend.  "It's amazing!  If I'm standing still you can't even see that the skirt is split!"


She twirled again, the double braids that started just above her temples and down her back, swinging out.  It was a simple style, made elaborate by the double stripes of red dyed into it and a clip of silver netting and ribbons pinned over it.

456 - Imperator Moldy

A Marble Palace servant, as unflappable as always, actually had my skates in hand as I tore into the guest room where my things still were.  As I laced up in a wild hurry, I realized I'd need to find an express chair for Ky... or Ili's old adjustable skates, if they were still in the Marble Palace.

I was just babbling out my request when the upper servant, his name was Nishel, smiled.  "We
