Cantiviler: "I wouldn't do that if I were you. I tried complaining once, and my mom almost got me a muzzle to match my harness."

Lakkatura: "Hmmm. Putting a harness on your daughter, even if both of you are dragons, is definitely something. Contributing a muzzle to the traction equipment . . ."

Pariki: ". . . is crossing a line?"

Lakkatura: ". . . is deliciously unethical."

MELISSA:
I really hope this is fake. I don’t want to believe someone is really
this stupid. I am curious why a baby’s name is on a telemarketer list
though.

LACQUER:
We get telemarketers wanting to speak with the dogs. The cat has been
approved for a Chase Mastercard more than once. My wheelchair once got
a promotion for an exotic romantic cruise.

Yes, I named my wheelchair.

MAX:
Wheelchairs need love lives too!

LACQUER:
Our cat Falstaff provides that service. Whenever I'm not in my chair,
Falstaff immediately jumps into the seat. Which is strange, because
the cat doesn't like me. But he loves my chair.

PHILIP:
Falstaff probably doesn't like you because you keep stealing his
chair.

MAX:
The dog I had as a kid loved my dad's wheelchair (he was in it pretty
much all his waking hours though) because it was basically a
permanent, portable lap. So she could hop up there and be close to one
of her humans and get transported around the house in comfort.

LACQUER:
Suleiman, our chocolate lab, has the same opinion. Of course, 70lbs of
stupid is hard to work around. He has also been known to push the
control stick. Self-driving dog!

KEVIN:
That's frankly terrifying!
I once had to clear up after my then-boss's black lab got into the
expired Christmas chocolates that the local Tesco had thrown out. The
idea of him being motorised as well is just... No.

Current progress on charting Hayloft:

I tested the pattern I made earlier today, and it seems to hold up. When I checked the source for the song’s BPM, it appeared to have a variable value. But I do have a reference from someone who's already cracked the song's pattern - in a game made by the same developers, no less - so implementation should be smooth sailing!

"It's a schematic of a bunch of gas pipes. I don't know the purpose for this machine, but it doesn't look particularly well crafted.” - Looks to the Moon

A vague charting of the chorus of Hayloft by Mother Mother ( https://www.shazam.com/track/52169666 ). I have floating concepts for several other segments as well. I'd make it myself, but . . . (see previous post)

Heehee . . . they won't suspect a thing . . !

Jokes aside, I have formulated a plan to sneak actual games onto my Steam account without deactivating Family View. I'm hesitant to do it, though; I'm always hesitant about secret fiscal activities.

I didn’t glean much useful information from this scenario, but it’s definitely the best one that I’ve seen this far. There’s no harm in refreshing your memory by rewatching something you’ve already seen!

TAKING NOTES With The Acorn Lantern - 10.22.C

- I set up a "SAFE MODE" focus earlier today, meant to be used as
a global shutdown mechanism for all my devices. In all honesty, it
was a far-fetched idea, and probably isn't worth the effort for
multiple reasons.

- I also found a way to cover my tracks: briefly switching profiles
will prevent the "continue watching for ___" label from appearing.

- <7533837377> compositions manage to achieve beauty through
simplicity! Sartorial arts are a two-dimensional plane, so it seems.

- Proverbially, every act of revenge is a confession of grief.
Therefore, the villains who impulsively snap at their enemies are
the weak ones. The real villains, such as <46733-77463>, speak
matter-of-factly, never act impulsively, and don't fill a silence
if they don't need to.

- As <46733-77463> later stated, most rebellions are centralized,
having a leader or someone else who they follow or hold great faith
in. Savvy villains would do well to pick on these leaders to make
coordination fall apart. This is why splinter rebellions, such as
the <73773687-4263>, are a superior force. All you have to do to
join is just say so.

What is wrong with them? Do they truly believe themselves to be
above all critique and ethics? The sad truth is, yes. They'd rather
just sit around with their binders, looking for a way to jackhammer
down all 177 members of that "Alpha-018" organization, for their
selfish purposes.

The garden is the Serpent's only place.

This reminds me of an incident on my family creative server. Although the world was on peaceful difficulty, I heard weird noises in a certain dark forest grove next to a fox habitat. I was frightened by that place, and was almost convinced that some sort of creepypasta entity was in there. It turned out that my sister had built an underground room and put a shulker in it; they're the only hostile mob allowed in peaceful mode on Bedrock Edition.

hear me out, Minecraft server with friends, dump a crap ton of random horror mods into it, add a gun mod (preferably TAC Zero for the most american experience), maybe add a mod that adds a Ford F-150 too

European fantasy: Oh great heavens! The gnomes have tarnished my vegetable garden and harassed my plump little son for littering in the forest.

American fantasy: GoPro footage “There’s some sort of demon in our forest thats mutilated several people from my little town, Charlottesville, Wyoming, in the middle of fuck-all nowhere so I’m goin in there with an m4 and my buddies to go whoop it’s unholy ass back to the goddamn hole it crawled out of.”

In I Wanna Lockpick, I have an interest in the gimmick of twisting door requirements using imaginary master keys. I'll describe how it works here…

By default, a door with no copy labels has 1 real copy and 0 imaginary copies. If a door has no copies, it is destroyed. Under normal circumstances, a door’s copy count can only be decreased, either by using the required keys, or by using a master key. However, a negative master key can be used to add real copies to a door.

But imaginary numbers add an extra dimension of weirdness to door copies. If you apply an imaginary negative master key to a door, it gains an imaginary copy instead. An imaginary copy will have the same key requirement(s), but for imaginary keys instead (or real keys, if the lock was already imaginary). You can use the Lens of Truth to switch between opening real or imaginary copies.

To complicate the matter even further, applying a positive imaginary master key will open a nonexistent imaginary copy of the door, pushing the i-copy count into the negatives. A negative imaginary copy of a positive, real door, when seen in i-view, would become a negative, imaginary door. While non-master keys can only decrease the copy count, master keys can change the copy count no matter what, so long as the door doesn't hit 0+0i copies.

. . . That was certainly quite the writing. Apologies if this doesn't make sense to anyone who hasn't played I Wanna Lockpick, or hasn't heard about imaginary numbers.

Icelandic Water Dragon: “I can't get a learner’s permit, as I would have to put serious attentiveness into actual driving. The Unsustainability would put me in too much mental danger to do driving training, let alone actual long-distance driving.”

Five minutes later…

Icelandic Waters: “Pfft, just send me the quiz index ahead of time and I'll be ready by tomorrow morning.”

Icelandic Water Dragon: “What if the quiz isn't open book?”

Icelandic Waters: “I wouldn't be concerned about that.”

SITUATION: Ember Twin Project has devolved into a loose-knit
amalgamation of characters from the Kohaku, Akkala Citadel and
Indelible Dragons threads. Many, many frayed connections are
hanging, and the story has not been reshaped for them yet.

Research performed on <668437-5487863>'s origin. Findings are
reasonably compliant with existing character.

LIST OF PROBLEMATIC CHARACTERS:

- <668437-5487863>: Originates from the Akkala Citadel thread.
Connected to <47328-453365>. May need to be reworked for
consistency reasons.
- <47328-453365>: Originates from the Akkala Citadel thread
alongside <668437-5487863>. Shares a species with a preexisting
party, but said party has already been connected to <36744836377>.
Is long overdue for a name change.
- <36744836377>: Originates from the Kohaku thread. Has been cleanly
integrated into the thread; try not to disturb them.

OBSERVATIONS [IWD]: "It's 10:18. I should've just done my <5487863>
research and gone to sleep instead of staying up writing this
cryptic report."

(My friend, a mechanic’s daughter, is driving on a cold winter morning with the rear window iced over.)

Friend: “I can’t see out the rear window.”

Me: “Use the rear window defroster.”

Friend: “I don’t have a rear window defroster!”

Me: “Sure you do. It’s this one here.”

Friend: *points to button* “You mean the one with the wavy lines?”

Me: “Yeah.”

Friend: “I thought that was a bacon maker, but I was too afraid to ask my dad where the bacon was supposed to go.”
