《Romantically Apocalyptic》119. The bucketed
Advertisement


While Charles went off to "secure the perimeter", I shambled towards Captain all while struggling to remove the bucket from my head. It wasn't coming off for some reason.
"Captainmas? Is that supposed to be Christmas, but with you in it?"
"INDEED! A MERRY-YULETIDE-WINTER HOLIDAY FOR ALL CITIZENS AND BE..."
"I'm relatively sure it's March."
"NOT WITH THAT ATTITUDE, ENGIE! WHY WE SHOULD DECLARE EVERY DAY A CAPTAINMAS DAY IN WINTERY CAPTANIA! JUST THINK OF THE ECONOMICAL BOOM CAUSED BY FORCED DAILY GIFT PURCHASES!"
"I object to being a gift. Also can anyone help me remove the bucket?"
"SUCH UNTIDY IMPOLITENESS, ENGIE! YOU SHOULD THANK ME! A MILLION YEARS IN THE FUTURE HEAD BUCKETS WILL BE ALL THE RAGE OF ZEE FASHION LADDER!
WHY, WHEN ARCHEOLOGISTS DISCOVER YOUR BODY, THEY WILL BE MOST IMPRESSED AND WILL LIKELY CLONE YOU FOR BEING SO ACCESSORY-READY FOR THE FUTURE!"
"This is absurd!"
"DON'T ARGUE! YOU, OF ALL PEOPLE, MUST ALWAYS DRESS YOUR BEST IN EXPECTANCY FOR THE CLONING!"

The Nine Tails of Alchemy Series
Living life in a virtual world was never part of my plan. My dreams of the future were of university, of being a world renown researcher and pharmacist. Being one of the many unfortunates forced into a virtual reality capsule to live out my days as a popsicle, was not part of that dream. But not all dreams can be achieved, and sometimes, it’s the dreams we never knew we had that come true. I dreamed of walking a path of science, and now in a world known only to the mind, I walk a path trodden by the greatest scientists of all. In these frozen dreams, I walk the path of a disciple of natural philosophy. The First Tail - Slowly uploading edited chapters.

A Comprehensive Guide for Alchemy
A guidebook designed for alchemists of every tier to help refine their craft and provide direction. Formed of countless recipes and techniques, developed over the ages by the collective knowledge of our study, this is a definite supplement material for any aspiring alchemist. This discusses not only the recipe itself, giving you instructions for each one, but directs you to things not to do in the recipe. It isn’t uncommon for starting alchemists to unknowingly make a small change, and before they know it… BOOM! For a relatively minor price you too purchase this guidebook and start working towards building up a proper base of knowledge in alchemy. Even those with considerable ability may learn a thing or two from this! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is purely a guidebook for alchemy in a magical world, and as such contains no story elements. The cultivation (and alchemical) tiers are not at all necessary to understand the book, but exist because in the context of the book it would be important. I'm more than happy to write up any alchemical ideas you've ever had, totally not using this as an excuse to reduce my creative thinking hours... Just PM the idea or post it as a comment in any chapter, with a bit of balancing there's pretty much no idea that can't be done! Hiatus while I focus on shorter stories for competitions
