#WIPSnips word for November 27th is "disorganize"
#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Now that Alan jilted Nin, her parents are now trying to marry her off to the first widower in town. And Nin certainly wasn't going to marry her good-for-nothing cousin.
Silhouette of an oak tree against a green background. Text: A Sylvan Tale #WIPSnips "disorganized (shambles) Nin didn’t care if Rhod was a guest at their dinner table that night. Slamming her fist on the table, she said with firm conviction, “Under no circumstances will I marry him!” “Nin, be reasonable,” her father insisted. “You’re almost thirty-one and this is the best offer you may have for years. You could have married your cousin, Eirlys, if you were smart. You were already up in Ashlar and could have avoided coming back, than facing the humiliation of your little sister marrying your fiancé, and then dancing in the pig trough, and now this bad luck curse you were foolish enough to bring on your own head!” “Eirlys?” Nin nearly shrieked with disgust. “That ungrateful, lazy blaggard! It was hard enough to not only care for him, which he complained the whole time and insulted me, but not one word of thanks for getting his field finished plowed and then planted, getting his stable into some semblance of order, not to mention his household, which was in shambles! Our pigsty is neater than his house was when I arrived.” “Well, his leg was broken,” Bryn hemmed and hawed. “In the three days since he broke his leg when you were making deliveries in Ashular when it happened, one day for preparing for travel, and the three days it took to get back, in seven days total, he could not have made his home that cluttered and filthy. This was months, if not years of neglect,” Nin explained, ready to go into further detail.

Madison learns that even if the CIA's venture capital firm gets its wish and tries to bury the encryption software, CRYPT, it's Open Source and the cat's already out of the bag.
Blue circuit board background. Text: Mad & Max: A Silicon Valley Romance “Microsoft tried to kill Linux, now they support it. Even Oracle tried to kill Red Hat, now they support Red Hat. ‘First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.’ We’re at the fight phase now. I’m looking to leave a hundred-year legacy with CRYPT.” Max sat back in his seat, feeling pleased he shared his vision with Madison. “Then why sell Paris Encryption if they want to impede it?” “Rough guess, off the top of your head. What do you think the final negotiation price for Paris might be?” he queried. “Two-hundred to three-fifty, but I’ll have a better idea after the V&E?” “A large portion of that will go to David and me, after final bills are paid and employees with vested stocks get their shares. But I also have a non-profit foundation set up, like the Linux Foundation. Bravovix pays a percentage of royalties to The CRYPT Foundation, and in the contract that you seemed to have missed, Bravovix, or whoever buys us, will pay for the next twenty years a small fee of five million per year in support of the development and support of CRYPT. But in negotiation, that will probably get struck and rolled into the final price.” He watched as Madison’s eyes went wide with dawning realization.

Nin and Darach have finally done the deed. Now she understands what all the fuss was about and she wants more.
Silhouette of an oak tree against a green background. Text: A Sylvan Tale #WIPSnips "system" Their tongues danced a slower dance, their fervent hunger partially sated. Now Nin could understand why her sister and Alan did not emerge from their cottage for a whole week after the wedding. Nin could even think that maybe a whole month might be enough time to work this constant urge for Darach out of her system that they could eventually keep their hands off each other for more than a few minutes.

Madison is having a round of golf with her CEO boss and a couple venture capitalists, one who works for the CIA's VC firm. She learns that the CIA wants to bury Paris EnCRYPTion, hindering code adoption.
Blue circuit board background. Text: Mad & Max: A Silicon Valley Romance #WIPSnips "Debut" (debutante) It was on the sixth hole as they were getting ready to tee off that Madison asked, “I’m curious, Lewis. What would happen with Am-Sec-Tel and their funding if there was a competitive bid for Paris?” “A competitive bid?” he asked in a curious tone that made the hairs on the back of Madison’s neck stand on end. “Is there another company that you know is seeking to acquire and bid on them?” “Presently? No,” Madison said truthfully. “But that does not mean another company might already be in the process and we haven’t heard of them yet. But even before we reach the negotiation phase, our current contract says any competitive bidder will be disclosed by Paris,” Madison clarified. “In a small percentage of the acquisitions I’ve been involved in, another suitor at the ball has come along and sought to woo the debutante away.”

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

First night at the inn and Darach slept on the floor, seeing how Nin was as frightened as a doe about to bolt. But come morning, he'll still let her know he would have preferred the bed.
AN oak tree silhouetted by a green background Text: A Sylvan Tale #WIPSnips "global" (world) Darach twitched as if he was dreaming. There was a short snort before he finally moved. Stretching like a cat, he reached his arms up over his head while yawning. As he stretched, his muscles flexed, which made Nin sigh with admiration of his perfect form. Rolling on his side, his cheek propped up on his palm, he smiled up at Nin staring down at him from her bed. “Good morning,” she squeaked out, trying to fill the awkward silence. “It would be an even better morning if I had the pleasure of keeping you company in bed last night,” he teased. Nin pulled the blanket up over to cover her face. “We wouldn’t have done anything you didn’t want, but to wake up next to you? That would have made it a great morning.” Nin was internally fighting with herself again. Darach was either the world’s biggest flirt and teased all women this mercilessly or he was going for the long con to steal her gold and was trying to break down her defenses by getting her to trust him.

Mad pined for Paul for two years, in the end realizing he was yanking her chain, using her, and wooed her Exec Admin to steal clients, then marry Exec Admin. Mad isn't above a little bit of harmless revenge.
Blue circuit board background. Text: Mad & Max: A Silicon Valley Romance #WIPSnips "crystal" Madison smiled down at him, stroking his hair. “What’s more,” she said, her eyes filled with that mischievous look he was becoming more familiar with, “when he wed Brandi, I gave him a nice crystal bowl and a fake bottle of twenty-five-year-old, single malt Glenlivet.” “What do you mean by fake,” Max asked for clarification, looking up at her. He liked the way his head felt pillowed on her lap and almost drowsy from the way she was tenderly stroking his hair away from his face. “By the time Brandi and Paul were getting married, I was dating my last previous boyfriend, who was a connoisseur of very expensive Scotches. He’d drop a grand on a bottle without blinking an eye. So when he finished off a bottle of this Glenlivet that he spent probably eight hundred on, I took the empty bottle, the box, bought some cheap-ass rotgut Scotch for twelve bucks, poured it into the bottle, mixed in a touch of that liquid smoke they use for cooking to add smokiness to it, a drop of iodine and a bit of sulfured blackstrap molasses, bought a bag of bottle top wraps that I used my hairdryer to shrink wrap, and voila.” “There is no way that he would think that–” “When I saw him three weeks ago, he thanked me for the Scotch, said it was sublime.” Madison and Max were both laughing once more.

#WIPSnips word for November 21st is "direction"
#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

This is the moment Nin first sees Darach walking upon the road and offers him a ride.
Silhouette of oak tree against green back ground. Text: A Sylvan Tale #WIPSnips "direction" As she came around a bend in the road, she saw a lone man walking. Even from a distance, she could tell that he was tall and broad shouldered. He had medium-colored warm brown hair that came down in thick gentle waves down to the upper middle of his back, and a simple hat to keep the rain off his head made of green wool felt. He was walking in the same direction as she was traveling, so she only saw him from the back wearing a pair of brown breeches, a long tunic of dark green belted, and a dark brown cloak and boots. There was a slight limp in his walk, which caused him to have a slow pace. Having recently suffered from a sprained ankle, she empathized, knowing how difficult it was to walk with a bad ankle or foot. As Barley slowly plodded forward past the stranger, Nin promised herself she would not look. If she did, she may feel compelled to offer the stranger a ride to Ballihazel, or as far as he was traveling on the same road she was for the time being. Holding her breath, she closed her eyes as Barley walked around him. It was when she was a few horse lengths in front of the stranger, the pang of guilt made her stop. ‘Why? Why do I feel compelled to stop and help this stranger,’ she wondered, questioning her sanity, her Aunt Sadhbh drilling her over the years that strangers met on the road are dangerous.

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Kindness for the man limping slightly prompted Nin to offer him a ride, and now she worries that he might be a danger to her. The only thing in danger is Nin's virtue, as Darach is a huge flirt, but sincere.
Oak tree silhouetted with a green background. Text: A Sylvan Tale #WIPSnips "special" “Wha–What’s your name,” Nin asked, her voice quivering from nervousness that she had just picked up a strange man by the side of the road and now worrying if he was going to rob her and take all her money, or worse. “Darach.” The way it rolled off his tongue sounded lyrical. Nin’s breath hitched from surprise. That was the name of her best friend, the grand oak who knew all her secrets and listened without judgement. She had only ever spoken the name to herself, whispered only while hiding along the leaves. Darach’s hands were firmly holding her waist, the rumble of his voice in his chest against her back, while hearing his name roll off his tongue made her head spin in a way she had only ever felt when she had drunken some of the strong honey wine her aunt made rarely for special occasions. She had difficulty swallowing, and when she did she nearly gulped aloud, her body feeling strange in close proximity to Darach. Was this fear she was experiencing? She had been afraid before, but this felt different, even if her body was quivering. Her stomach was feeling even more strange, the snake becoming butterflies, while her heart began thundering in her chest and her head feeling a little numb. He leaned his head down just enough so that his mouth hovered over her ear when he sweetly purred, “And what is your name, bláthín?”

Oak tree silhouetted with a green background. Text: A Sylvan Tale #WIPSnips "third" Darach rose and leisurely sauntered over to the table where Flann was pocketing his freshly won coins in a pouch tied to his belt. Flann stood up and looked Darach over, assessing him as a rival. They stood eye to eye, but even though Flann was bulkier, Darach stood without retreating, holding his ground. With a crooked toothy grin, a third of his teeth missing, the pirate asked in a misleadingly friendly manner, “Care to try and take some of that gold off my hands with a bit of arm wrestling?” “It would be my pleasure,” Darach said with sincerely intent, smiling back at him with none of the malice Flann had. “Shall we start at two?” “It would barely be worth the effort for two, but why not? That would be two more in my purse. But let’s see your coin first.” His grin turned smug.

Blue circuit board background Text: Mad & Max: A Silicon Valley Romance As Max’s car inched forward and passed by the outdoor seating area, he casually glanced at the array of diners enjoying their food. “Oh, you gotta be kidding me,” Max breathed. “Shit, duck!” he hissed urgently while leaning across Madison’s lap to grab the seat lever to drop her seat back. “It’s Jane!” Catching onto what Max was suggesting, Madison grabbed the seat back lever and yanked it, falling backwards, trying to get the seat as flat as possible. Spying a black hoodie laying idly on the backseat, she threw it over her head and upper body, trying to hide her red blouse, attempting to blend in with the car’s dark granite gray upholstery, thankful her skirt and shoes were black. At least her hair was still pinned up and confined. Peeking out from the edge of the hoodie, she saw Max hold up a hand and try and partially shield his face from being seen.

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

While on a walk outside of her village, Nin's necklace had fallen from her neck. A mischievous raven swooped in and carried it into the sacred forest and set it down, as if to taunt Nin to come and get it.
Oak tree silhouetted with a green background. Text: A Sylvan Tale #WIPSnips "spend" “Just do it, Nin, it will be over soon,” she said to herself aloud, the same words she repeated in her own head when she didn’t want to do something but felt pressured to please others. She listened to hear if there was the sound of music, for she had learned since she was a small child to never follow the enchanting sounds into the sacred forest, as it was the fairies, and she would be lured beneath Mulhcráeb where they lived. It was Lughnasadh, one of the special nights of the years the fairies had come out to play and troop. If she were to fall under their enchantment, she may not return for years, and upon returning, she would spend her days lamenting to return. There were tales of those who had withered away, no longer possessing any appetite for mortal food, having lost all its flavor. Those who had returned from the fairy realm pined away the rest of their short remaining days for fairy food.

Text: Mad & Max: A Silicon Valley Romance #WIPSnips "run" “I was actually looking for late night dining options near work when you called.” “It’s nearly ten, you haven’t eaten?” Max realized he hadn’t either. “Last thing I ate was my three o’clock snack. I may need a six o’clock snack if I keep working until eight,” Madison confessed, her head still on the desk sounding like she might fall asleep at any moment. “That’s it. We’re going on an In-N-Out run,” he said with some finality. As Madison stood, she began to sway, with Max trying to grab a hold of her by the arms before she promptly sat back down once more, listing to one side. “Low blood sugar,” she said before adding. “I can feel I’m crashing.” “I’ll drive,” Max insisted as he placed an arm around Madison’s waist to make sure she stayed upright while escorting her out to his car in the parking lot.

We should pack and go soon; there is a storm on the way.” His tone was serious, and he hurried in packing. Nin cooked what may be their last hot meal for days depending on the size of the storm. This was the time of year when storms would be start up again. They had been blessed with mostly good weather, but as the year progressed from Summer towards Autumn, the rains returned. She hoped the barley was ripe enough to harvest back in the fields as harvesting wet barley was more likely to lead to rot over the winter months.

Madison had a smirk on her lips that Max was beginning to recognize. “I was thinking you could return the same courtesy to management that they gave you when they told you, the day before your two-week vacation with Jennifer, to cancel it to work on that deal that still fell through. You paid for a vacation for two to the Bahamas that you didn’t go on, and your girlfriend wound up hooking up with a real estate developer in Boca Raton from the hotel bar before she had the decency to dump you via text. I figured you could show up tomorrow morning, demand two weeks PTO for an ‘emergency,’ say ‘it’s personal,’ once they grant it, then give them your two weeks. I’d say it’s time Karma was served as well chilled as the caviar at The Russian Tea Room.” Aaron laughed at the other end of the call. “Lee is right, you are an evil bitch. I love it!”

#CastPit #Q #F #DF #A
The hypothetical leading cast of THE LESSER SOUL consists of Kelsey Asbille as Elina (our thieving protagonist), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Gideon Starborne (the mythical hero trapped in Elina's mind), and Mia Goth as Ranna, High Priestess of the Stars (who accompanies Elina on her journey). The hypothetical supporting cast of THE LESSER SOUL begins with Oscar Isaac as Rey (Elina's companion who helps her during the heist for the Soulshard), Jeremy Irons as Damon the Devourer (a major antagonist who seeks vengeance against Gideon Starborne), and Sean Teale as Stratton (Rey's little brother who's avoided the criminal life by becoming a surgeon's apprentice). Our hypothetical supporting cast for THE LESSER SOUL continues with Monica Bellucci as Orthala (Nymarch of Knowledge and Shadows), Jodie Turner-Smith as Mezethia (Nymarch of Power and Victory, Damon's patron), and Alexandra Daddario as Tilyria (Nymarch of Love and Starlight, Gideon's patron). The director of this hypothetical film would ideally be Guillermo Del Toro, whose works include recent hits like Frankenstein (2025). The storyline is explained in a short synopsis that unfortunately cannot fit in ALT text, but here is a one-sentence pitch: After a heist gone wrong binds a thief to the spirit of a long-dead hero, she must decide whether to sacrifice herself to destroy the cursed Soulshard or damn his soul to save her own.
