S(t)OLAS One hour. Two demons. A chance to win a shiny rock (and maybe be cursed).

In which you can come to a tunnel, meet an owl and maybe win a shiny rock!

15 years since that challenge was offered and I am still not able to perform inside of a whale.
I can't help but feel every single issue I have would be resolved with a whale performance.

To be fair, it is fun to ruin the vibes of a picnic by screaming "LET US PLAY A GAME OF RIDDLES."
Same feeling as when people want to play boardgames and, no, we are playing parlour games.
We are Hunting the Slipper and then a round of ARE YOU THERE MORIARTY!?
Then someone shoots the butler. LARKS!

40K fans. Settle a ponder for me.
As a Space Marine, is it heresy to say you would like to give the Emperor a little kiss?
Or is it Heresy to NOT want to give the God Emperor a tiny peck?

It is press night at Gatsby.
So many fine folks in feathers and suits and posing on the vintage car
And me in my Sensible Jumper and Sturdy Shoes skulking along the red carpet.

I am enjoying the bizarre music choice before the immersive War of the Worlds.
I hope it continues.

Mr Suitcase was delighted to offer both curses and shiny rocks as part of @colabtheatre's venue launch.
There were boons, there were measurements of my legs, there was WHAT’S THE TIME MR OWL.
And also there were folks who literally were just there for the wings.

I'm grateful to the trio of Chris Hislop, Rebecca Hare, and Thomas Jancis (@kafkin.bsky.social) for creating such a dramatic gut-punch of story.

If you love doomed romance and undeathbed confessions of eternal love, this adventure is for you!

Happy Valentine's Day!

So @WinterNatters informed me that those born on Christmas Day cannot behold the supernatural.
We have deduced Noel Edmonds used his combination Birthday Christmas wish to behold a supernatural being.
And thus a pink and yellow creature smashed down a wall shrieking BLOBBY!

Tannoy: Apologies for us leaving Guilford a little late.
Believe it or not, someone was leaning against the train in order to do up their shoelace.
We will try and make up the time.

Dad: You could buy a Nebuchadnezzar of champagne.
Me: Or a Cask.
Mum: No Thomas.
Me: There is a good one. I can show you.
Mum: No Thomas.
Me: It’s just in the basement. Oh let me show you.
Dad: Is Nebuchadnezzar the biggest?
Me: Yes. WHY WON'T YOU COME INTO THE CRYPT!?

I am saving this moment to flash back to in 2094.
Me in my armchair slowly whispering "Too. Old. To. Tweedy."
And a single tear trickles down my wrinkled cheek.

On the anniversary of the Moon landing, thinking about the crew of Apollo 11 looking at the lunar mountains and craters.
Buzz: There's a big mother over here, too.
Collins: Come on now, Buzz, don't refer to them as big mothers. Give them some scientific name.

A man just walked past the Dimenson 20 crowd holding a small "JESUS" sign.
Quick heads up: JESUS.
(He is a Canon character in D20 lore.)
Maybe he saw all the Tieflings and was like "Now is my time."
Or he is doing a very laidback cosplay.

It was a good time that the drunken old men chose me as the offical answerer after the Dimenson 20 show.
DOM: WHY ARE THERE GREEN PEOPLE AND DEVIL GIRLS?
ME: It’s a role-playing thing.
DOM: Like sex?
ME: No? There are dice and it's improvisation an- oh you vomited into your pint.
