This isn’t your forest. The ground is rocky, as though the trees burst up through some giant slab of granite. You don’t recognize the birdsong, or the patches of darkness swimming through the undergrowth. You hear music from what you think is north, water to the south.

@mikime2011 I shudder to think the results of our polls could be driven by a glitch. If the machine causes a tie we didn’t deserve, that could have big consequences.

Today’s poll is live! If anyone will indulge me, if you vote in this poll, please like it as well. You can un-like it when tomorrow’s poll goes up, if you want. I just want to see how badly the broken polls are under-counting.

@QuietPineTrees Echo King huffs. “Who are you, again, to be prying into our affairs?” “Fireflies,” you say, “last human in the Forest of Whales.” “I haven’t heard of you,” he replies. “You live under a rock,” you point out. “But, I’m a friend of your son.” He sighs. “Sotto speaks to his mother.”

No poll today, I’m afraid. I’m so sorry. You deserve something better than whatever I’d think up in my current state. See you tomorrow, my darlings.

@Czechnology Vypadá to nebezpečně, já bych se radši schovala.

@alicia4ferris @QuietPineTrees I like the idea of having magical items from wildly disparate sources. “I grabbed this onyx dagger from some cultists by the coast. They’re still looking for it! And that portrait of me was painted by my fiancée; she lives in the 1800s. Oh, mind the hidebehind tooth, it’s sharp!”

@ewidle hi! i appreciate any support i get over here, but i am cross-posting on BlueSky as well! (same username) the system is rather clunky (because no polls 😢), but i pin the most recent scenario (and you can always sneak in two votes across platforms 😉)

@ForestOfWhales @kattra Thanks for the heads up, I need to check it out. (Does it mean there'll be two accounts to keep me here?)

@kattra …Are you starting up a fantasy tale of your own, with daily polls and everything? And did you have to make it about a vampire because of a tie vote? That’s hilarious! I’m going to play along, if that’s alright. This looks like fun!

@ShelbyGT500CZ Tak důležité je, že nově zřídili pozici zmocněnce pro popularizaci a rozvoj talentu. Určitě to pomůže. 👍

Symbolicky v době sportovní olympiády MŠMT dál škrtá u nadaných. Letos vzalo všem vědomostním olympiádám peníze na druhý dospělý doprovod. Medaile se vozit smí, ale učitelé ne. Na školní výlet jezdí víc pedagogů než na soutěž na druhém konci světa. Tolik k prioritám.
Malý vědec@malyvedec

Historický úspěch českého týmu na Mezinárodní chemické olympiádě! Zlatá medaile a druhé místo v celkovém pořadí pro Václava Vernera – náš národní rekord v historii IChO. Matěj Pěnička a Ondřej Michal přivážejí stříbro a Adam Horák bronzovou medaili. Gratulujeme, kluci!

You don’t want these two to tie.

@QuietPineTrees “NERII!” you shout over the rushing wind. “SPYGLASS!” She carefully reaches into her bag and hands you the telescope. Through the treetops, you examine Ooavoo nose to tail. Sure enough, something catches your eye. A yellow flame burns under the shell, just above the left wing.

@QuietPineTrees “We? How many are you?” The stranger thinks. “We are plural, but not separate. We cannot be counted. Ooavoo’s flesh is sustenance aplenty.” “Does Ooavoo allow this?” The entity hesitates. “Ooavoo does not stop us. Therefore, it is allowed.” “They’re parasites,” Feldspar whispers.

Don’t you dare. Not again.

@QuietPineTrees There’s no time to waste. You run to the mannequin, wrap your arms around it, and rush to the river. The fizzling gets louder until you manage to hurl Mizar into the water. The body sinks like a stone, until it explodes into fireworks, illuminating colossal eyes in the depths.

We’ve been getting a lot of ties lately. Normally, I introduce some new problem when a tie happens, just for fun. It’s how we got Aohn, the Cult of Dolor, and the siege of the Sinea Lodge. But what if something good happened instead? What would you like to do?

@ForestOfWhales @yes_thattoo @QuietPineTrees Yeah. A few more words can make a lot of difference sometimes. (I think I only stumbled on it because I was trying to read between the lines. But there are apparently others more perceptive than me, at least this time.)

@ewidle @yes_thattoo @QuietPineTrees I suppose so. I don’t often blame the format of the site, but I feel I could’ve conveyed the circumstances better with more room to describe the action.

@ForestOfWhales @yes_thattoo @QuietPineTrees Yes, but she could think she missed her saying something. Normally that would be more plausible than missing a whole person. But she knows by now that something is off, so she's probably ready for surprises.

@ewidle @yes_thattoo @QuietPineTrees Ah, I see the confusion. It’s hard to convey the passage of time, but it has been too long since Nerii last spoke. From Mizar’s perspective, you just reacted to an awkward silence.
