Nearsighted werewolves.

They show up on the wrong nights because they think the moon is full, but it’s not.

Dear adultier adult. Managed to ash a soup (not even any lumps left) by accidentally leaving it cooking while I was at work. Luckily house did not burn down. Trying to deal with the lesser consequences. Aired the house until the sun went down and it got way too cold. Any suggestions for getting rid of smoke smell? Pot is currently sitting on a metal chair outside, future me will have to decide if it's worth trying to salvage. Sigh.

Oh heck. I’m so sorry to hear that!

I am by no means an adultier adult, and my first recommendation is obviously to fling the offending pot onto the neighbor’s property, shed all of your electronic devices and your outer layer of skin, change your name to the sound of water running over pebbles, get on a bus and escape to the forest to live your natural life as a beautiful wild snake that drowns men in sparkling mossy pools and never looks at soup again.

If you can’t do that, then you could also take another pot and simmer a solution of water and vinegar on the stove. Abandon the remains of the previous pot (it betrayed you, and is faithless) and wash anything washable that the smoke-smell has permeated. Cleaning blogs will chirpily suggest baking soda and vinegar on everything. They’re pretty weird folks, those cleaning bloggers, but it might make you feel better.

It was a really good idea, though, the whole soup/work thing, it’s a shame it all went to hell. A slow cooker could be a good investment. This could be the beginning of a beautiful story about you and your slow cooker.

I’m really sorry that this happened to you. I have no idea why you came to me with this but thank you??? I’m??? so sorry??? If you want, I can back you up if you want to tell your friends/family/neighbors that a meteorite hit your house and vaporised exactly one pot.

Also I’m really glad your house didn’t catch fire. What an unexpectedly great bonus today. Today your house could have burned down! And it didn’t!

I’ve been playing FR since 2013, and these two have been one of my favorite pairs for years- Jezebel, an ice dragon who came to the Scarred Wasteland seeking help with an incurable blood disease, and Oddfrill, who found her dying in the Boneyard and plead his clan leader to let her stay and recover with them. They’ve had a lot of changes throughout the years, but they’re some of my oldest, most treasured dragons.

did you know that Pearlcatchers are my favorite FR breed?

Okay, and for those as pedantic as me, who are wondering how they chew plant matter without cheeks:

they clamp the grass between their molars and slide their jaw forward repetitively, keeping it in place with their tongue. They have to open and close their mouth in order to adjust awkward food, so they eat plants in small bites to avoid dropping food all over themselves. Their saliva has a slightly higher acidity than a humans and can break down cellulose before they swallow. The hook-shaped teeth are for keeping their prey still while they swallow it. (usually fish or large magical insects) And…Yes…. they swallow prey whole if possible.
