Son-of-mine and eldest spawn actually escaped the house as a toddler by stripping the cushions off the couch and building a tower so he could undo the deadbolt and then just... wander the neighbourhood.

The harshest punishment in my neck of the woods was cleaning up the mess and making amends. Treated by the kiddos as Hard Labor for 500 years.

In a post-scarcity society, purloining food is not really an offense. Yeah I've had a few horrifying interesting conversations about what kinds of punishment children "deserve" with authoritarian

I should write a Horror Tale about a Raider Prepper using the last of their bullets to go after a Bunker Prepper... then they discover that the vault is full of seeds and books.

I use Peakd because I could never make the Hive site work for me fml. As for skipping out on the teething issues... I point towards time zones. Where my morning is midnight in the US. Just lucky, I guess.

All sides are pretty much at fault here. Nightmare scenario material.

There's 76, last peek, so there's no need to panic about it :D

The dancer did indeed land well, as well as truly solidly on Ardaq. Ze cushioned what there was of their fall. As for the prompts, there is that "send me a prompt" link above...

And this entire story started because Hen was nervous about the availability of their meds -_-

I have never had hives in my life and now I am very glad of that. I just SNEEZE like a firkin DEPTH CHARGE.

Screen addiction's pretty big in my house. Difficult to tear myself/everyone away.

I have spent DAYS building random nonsense in Minecraft and yeah. Survival or not, it's mondo effort.
