I was tempted to like it too

The window

Outside the large window there comes soft rains

From inside there comes gentle guitar strums

Accented by light taps on the glass panes

Which are in service here as nature's drums

One plays strings, another plays a console

With a wall mounted screen with hushed volume

On it a Mughal yells and fights a troll

The room fills with the combined tune

At the glass it takes longer per each tap

The rain stops, in its place quiet assumes

From inside alone comes the world's sound map

At least till the dance of mirrors resumes

Along with the music there is warmth here

In each other's company joy and cheer

wild horses could probably drag me away pretty easily in fact

cipheramnesia

Realistically, I'm pretty sure domesticated horses could also.

I’ll be honest, most horses would have a pretty good shot at moving me a moderate distance

A tiny pony could move me, because if I saw one I'd yell "pony!" and run towards it.

Undomesticated Equines though remain to be seen

It was a dark and gloomy evening for a training exercise, the targets were hard to spot for the crew of a Centurion APC

Unbeknownst to them a plot was forming

An evil plot

A villianous plot

Taking roost on what seemed a humble chicken farm

The training exercise was going well for the Centurion but as faith had it the crew forgot how to aim.

They wrote off the spent shell as harmless not bothering to trace the trajectory feeling the danger was as real as hen's teeth.

The shot went wide punching through the fence of the nearby farm.

Into the conspiracy's coop flew a 105mm shell and there it detonated.

A new dawn approached bathing the scene as the ruins of the coop lay there sunny side up. A fowl sight awaited the farmer in the morning as his birds and their plans to take humanity over easy were scrambled by a foe no one could predict but everyone knew about.

The incompetence of the Italian military.

This is a short description I wrote for a party of characters in a one shot encountering a Spinosaurus. We played using the Genesys system for a community live play and the session was a hoot. This is taking place in the courtyard of an Apartment Complex.

CW: Implied Violence

-------------------

With the power cut the courtyard's lanterns hold no light. The garden's various plants and flowers all have adopted the night becoming sharp and angular shadows. From the moon a pale blue light shines and sky appears thrice. Twice above and once below onto the still pool that lies uninhabited at this hour. Standing at its edge lies to the source of the low and melodic wails that echoed through out the apartment complex.

It stands tall enough to peer through a second story window and several nearby are caved in undoubtably by its intrusion. Its a sleek bipedal form with muscular legs and arms that end in three wicked claws. Its head is long and narrow, belying rows of wicked sharp teeth that glisten covered in a dark liquid. From its back extends a round sail, down the spine.

Most striking are the eyes, pure white orbs staring as if they are a void looking outward to the world. The beast emits another call and the message is clear. This land is haunted and here is the ghost.

It amuses me that I cannot spell endeavor incorrectly now ever since I went hardcore into Aliens Fireteam Elite. Gotta thank the devs for that one. Helps that it is a fun word to use really.

Still love the game. Seriously having even a basic character creator in a shooter is a good way to get me to check it out. I know RPGs let you go wild often but shooters rarely do so this was a welcome relief.

So I saw someone knight and crusade posting, and it was disheartening to see. I wanted to respond at first with an angry and pithy comment but I stopped myself and took a step back to consider what I would be doing there. Instead of that path I wrote the following, and am sharing it here for folks to be able to read.

"You have been told of us the Saracen

How we hold a vast wealth and holy lands

All to seize at the pope's beck, only then

But you must take on the risks, not his hands

To feed thy anger thy gave a programme

From these stories come hate's warm sensation

Now while a warrior I scarcely am

I put forth this, my evaluation

The Crusades may come the crusades may ride

Yet it is their goals they shall fail to reach

In the end to them the clergy had lied

Not for victory, for peace, I beseech

Are we peoples not richer together

Despite contrasts is this path not better?"

We lost the skeletons two years ago. Four years ago it was the zombies. Last year the werewolves made their last stand. This year the vampires head out, their forlorn fates already written.

We dug trenches you know? We were waiting on this as if it had an inevitability to it.

Thanksgiving being absorbed was already in the cards heck it was already in the hand on the table waiting to be resolved.

Dirt is heavy when you have to move it constantly. A small pile really feels like the world when it is the hundredth of the day. The shovel's head pull more and more towards the ground and refuses more and more to follow your arms trying to lift it up.

There are av carts they push through that play the good stuff. MCR, the Blackhearts, etc. Sometimes we get Veteran of the Psychic Wars. That one speaks to me. Probably to us all.

You have to dig and then dig some more so you have a sump and put wooden duckboards above that to stand on. Otherwise you are soaked in rain and mud fills your boots. Even the tallest ones we wear.

We have heard of things in the fallen realm. The blackened and burned lands gutted in the initial assault. The whispers in the winds before them driving all who hear them mad. The rumors of a... thing that stalks the battlefields with piercing golden eyes were in you see nothing but hate. Not normal hate but hate ignited and infused with the deepest of tortures and the most malicious of intent.

Most of the day you are looking at empty ground. The distances for engagement mean the enemy appears to us as tiny dots in our vision. The charges though. Those are most terrifying.

I haven't signed up for recon this week. I haven't heard of a recon team returning and if they have them being isolated from us bodes ill.

It's a wave. It's a mountain. It's the spectacle of war. It's a funereal for the chargers and the repulsing gunfire is their last rites. You see that and realize that is what awaits you. What remains to happen to you.

maybe I'll sign up for recon after all...
