Beech, Day 86, Part 8

Jason: How was work?

Dakota: It was fine. Busy, but I guess that's better than being stuck at work on a quiet day thinking about all the other things I could do with my time.

Jason: Are you hungry? There's cake, and hamburgers, and brownies. Shall I fix you something?

Dakota: A burger sounds good. You're being extra-attentive today. What's up?

Jason: Can't I pay attention to my wife without something being up? I wish we weren't so busy and could spend more time together. Maybe we could go out later?

Dakota: Maybe. I'm pretty tired, though. But I'm not working tomorrow...

The first day of summer is the perfect day for this party.

Wait, Luis, who invited you!?

Mahjong is popular, as always.

Gryff's new job is going well.

Virginia is aging gracefully.

The party was a great success, despite Luis crashing (I assume because he came to kick the trashcan or steal the paper). I'm not sure what to make of a seven-year-old doing bubbles, though...

Orphans Triumphant

Well! Somebody's got his goal firmly in mind!

Gabriella finds that Connor the Conure is a great person to confide in. "So Gallagher knows about lube now. I can't wrap my head around it!"

Since Rocky's going to live back home with Mom and Dad, and they already have a piano, he's given the residence piano to Gavin and Sadie for a wedding present. This leaves him with a lot of time on his hands, which he spends blogging about music.

Gavin sees no reason to wait to go home and marry Sadie. They need him in that house! So he throws his party as soon as he feasibly can. Herbert and Faith are feeling a bit under the weather and send their apologies, but that's all right - he'll be right there with them soon enough. A little too much with them, even. It's clear they need help, but he's not certain how the living arrangements are going to shake out.

[cryptid-kratt-kid]

I know I'm not working on what I'm supposed to be working on rn (Dearest nsfw oneshot asker my deepest apologies I live in shame for I have failed you.) But the group therapy that's supposed to be helping me is making shit worse so CHILDREN OF THE WILD AU TIME!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!

Once Zach broke into the Tortuga while only the kids were there and when Chris came rushing back, to his surprise Beech and Birch had already beat the shit out of him whist Conifer was rummaging through Zach's wallet. Chris was proud and kinda scared at the same time.

Sometimes Chris' kids get to hang out with the wild kratt's kids! Despite their differences, Conifer is good friends with Gavin and Ronan.

Beech tried to fight a honey badger once because SHE wanted to be the toughest animal in Africa!

Martin loves being an uncle but MAN is it exhausting sometimes. Once Martin had all the kids in the back of the Creterra and Beech JUMPED OUT WHILE THEY WERE MOVING because she wanted a rematch with that honey badger.

Song Title Game

Thank you @st-severus and @alwayssevvy for tagging me! That was fun! 😀 I sorted my song library for my most heard songs and picked the first that fit. Some of them are German songs but I still kept them. They mean a lot to me. :) So, this is what I came up with. ^^ I linked to the official music videos (as far as available) and probably I had to hear them all again and this took much longer than it was strictly necessary. But that was worth it. XD

Rules: Make a new post & spell out your URL with song titles, then tag as many people as there are letters in your URL.

Crooked Houses: Tales of Cursed & Haunted Dwellings, edited by Mark Beech, Limited Edition, Egaeus Press, 2020. Cover art by Fritz Schwimbeck, info: egaeuspress.com.

Alas! Is there a theme in supernatural fiction more prone to cliché and cozy familiarity than the haunted house story? With this mammoth new anthology, Egaeus Press aims to reclaim that supremely primal tradition, not only from glossy movies, cartoons and television-era ghost hunters, but also from the Victorians, and the great, academic spook story authors of the 20th Century who, by their nature, sought to calibrate, anthro- pomorphise and provide justification for acts by forces which might hitherto have been considered beyond the scope of human comprehension. Crooked Houses takes its cue from this earlier age. Though many of the stories presented are set in the modern world, the forces which pervade are primeval, unquantifiable; the stuff of folk-tales, family curses and collective nightmares. These houses have very deep roots. These houses have teeth.

Contents: Your House, Any House. That House — Rebecca Kuder The Sullied Pane — Richard Gavin The Sheperd’s House — Colin Insole The West Window — Helen Grant The Psychomanteum — Steve Duffy The Crumblies — Reggie Oliver The Devil Will Be At the Door — David Surface The House of the Mere — John Gale Fairest of Them All — Albert Power Miasmata — Lynda E. Rucker The Readers of the Sands — Mark Valentine Doll’s House — Carly Holmes At Lothesley, Montgomeryshire, 1910 — James Doig In Cromer Road — Rebecca Lloyd House of Sand — Katherine Haynes Mythology — Jane Jakeman The Piner House — Timothy Granville

Beech, Day 86, Part 7

And then it's time for Virginia's birthday! She threw her own party, working her way down the list in friendship order, and then I teleported a bunch more people in. I tried not to have too many people, so no spouses or children, but even so, the game crashed mid-video. The screenshots from the cutseen are therefore a compliation of both videos.

[widespot]

"Whoo, sis!"

Ginger did not marry Rocky for the money, but it suddenly occurs to her that the Beeches have a lot. And she's a Beech now!

River's in the front row, watching them. This might have been her and River - but it's not. And she could not be happier, if it were.

"All right, let's see what kind of cake we got." "Goodness, this is quite the spread!" "Nothing but the best for you."

Everyone crowds around for cake and lobster. Certain parties waste no time getting into the hot tub. It's going to be quite the party, even by Beech standards.

"Of course we couldn't be more delighted to have her in the family!"

"She didn't have much chance to learn financial acumen with us, but she seems to have done all right without it." "Excuse me, my little brother would be a catch without a dime!" "That's as may be, but he does have a little more than a dime, doesn't he?"

"Welcome home, Mrs Beech!"

Around Town

I made a couple small changes around town. I added a few things to the grocery store such as a pinball machine and a cell phone stand. Next to the makeout spot I added a park. I love having parks in my game, so I had to. I also added a set of duplex apartments across the street from the park.

The Newsons just moved into town and reside in the duplex. They are already well on their way to befriending everyone in town. The families all discussed adopting the newcomers and each family housing a child or two, but in the end it was decided that as Gavin was 17 and going to be an adult soon that the kids could live on their own, but all the townsfolk would help keep an eye on the little ones.

One weekend ages ago when all their kids were little the Land, Beech, and Weiss families got together and constructed the local park. The Mann and Hart families moved to the area later. Rich always sneers at the park as he walks by remarking how ‘quaint’ the park is. Dayton has always resented his remarks about the town as they worked hard to build it. She and Rich spent the next few years complaining about each other and arguing every chance they got. Rich always stated that if the town had any money they would set things up properly.

Homer commented about how as Rich has so much money, perhaps he would donate funds to help with the snapping turtle infestation in the local swimming hole.  Rich instead hired a contractor to fill in the pond and replace it with a pool. Daytona complains about the pool being an insult to tradition, but the rest of the town is please with the new pool. Mary was hired as a lifeguard, mostly as it was her siblings spending the summers there. It was at the pool she met Valentine. In Mary’s eyes the older man could do no wrong. Valentine ignored her for several years in spite of her efforts to chat with him. It wasn’t until Mary was in her early twenties that he started to give her the time of day. She fell head over heels for him and right into his bed. Afterwards though, he no longer paid her any attention. Mary was devastated. She turned to her friend Junior for comfort and the past month she has begun to daydream about Junior and she marrying. Junior likes Mary too, but as he has just discovered Candy is expecting his child (at least she told him that it’s his) and Mary is now pregnant with Valentine’s child, he has decided he isn’t ready to grow up and be a dad, so he has been avoiding both women for the past week.

Day Thirteen: Dynamos

Charles Lightoller was something of an expert in maritime calamity by that fateful week in late May.

He had been shipwrecked four times, the first at age 15. He had rammed u-boats and fought zeppelins in the Great War. He'd been an innkeeper, a chicken farmer, a property speculator - as a young sailor, he'd pranked Sydney into believing the Boers had landed. All this without mentioning that he just so happened to be the highest ranking officer to survive the sinking of RMS Titanic.

Now, aged 66, the retired Commander Lightoller and his son Roger, plus a scout named Gerald Ashcroft, sailed into a war zone on the tiny yacht Sundowner. Their mission; to help evacuate the thousands of men of the British Expeditionary Force. He was among hundreds of vessels participating in Operation Dynamo; Admiral Ramsey’s audacious plan to evacuate the embattled BEF, alongside whatever French and Belgian forces they could.

On that shore stood Major General Bernard Law Montgomery. ‘Monty’ was a career staff officer - he'd been wounded in 1914 and never returned to the front. This battle made him - his cool command of his division secured him a promotion.

Also on those sands was Major Gerald Lathbury of the 48th Division, born to a military family in India. Brian Horrocks, another officer, commanded a battalion. These were low ranking officers today, but the campaign in France had effectively finished the careers of the old hands - Field Marshal Ironside and Lord Gort. When Britain returned - and it would return - they would be in command.

Over in Britain, a young lad in Stoke-on-Trent named John Baskeyfield was trained as a butcher. A career officer in the Irish Guards named John Ormsby Evelyn Vandeleur was serving in Palestine. Stanislaw Sosabowski, a Polish officer determined to avenge the defeat of his country, awaited deployment behind the frontline in France - he would soon find himself evacuated to Britain. In the United States, Carwood Lipton attended Marshall University, while James Gavin worked at West Point.

None of these men were especially connected - yet, in the September of 1944, they would be brought together to participate in the largest airborne operation ever attempted. This would be the combination of Operation Market - the paratrooper portion - and Operation Garden - the ground component.

Together, this made Operation Market Garden.

----

We left Bedford early this morning, meandering down the A1 and then the M25 towards Kent. We rolled through the winding country roads towards Tenterden, the main station of the Kent and East Sussex Railway.

The KESR was one of a number of small light railways in southern England, opened in the late nineteenth century and closed in the 1950s. It was reopened by enthusiasts in the wave of railway preservation that followed the Beeching Cuts, and today operates between Tenterden and Bodiam in East Sussex with a number of small tank engines and diesel railcars.

Today’s engine was GWR 1600-class No. 1638, and though we didn’t go on (prices were a tad steep), we did look around Tenterden station and get a goodly amount of photos, so all was good.

Some people don't like trains. They are bad people.

Following this, we travelled down to Dover to visit Dover Castle. You may remember it as that place I got hit by a bus once. It hasn’t changed since that tragic day – it remains built by Henry II, it still has the WWII tunnels and the fire control bunker, it still has a regimental museum. There’s a new audio bit where they describe Henry II as one of England’s greatest kings, so I’m pretty sure I can safely say that it’s not Thomas Beckett approved.

You know, Thomas Beckett? Famously hacked to death because some knights got really overzealous when the king badmouthed… oh, never mind.

Lapis wasn't hit by any buses and really that's the main thing.

Anyway, that was it for the day – we headed back down the road to Ashford, where I write this tonight. Tomorrow we cross under the Channel to the continent, where we hang around on a beach, look at a small bridge, and get on the highway to hell…
