Plant of the Day

Saturday 7 February 2026

The evergreen perennial Fittonia albivenis Argyroneura Group (nerve plant, silver nerve, silver net plant, silver threads) is often sold as a house plant or as ground-cover for a tropical glasshouse. As this species has creeping growth the stems will root into the growing media. The tracery of silvery veins on the foliage is the main feature but the plant can produce small white flowers.

Listen to my latest cover: When Will I Be Loved?

DM: I didn't say it was your turn.

Tati: But it is, I'm next in the initiative.

DM: It's not your turn yet. The disembodied voice acts at the end of each round.

Hamish (playing Thaddeus): Oh no, it's got lair actions!

DM: The voice says, "You want to go into this room? Very well." It sends a silver thread for Una. 32 vs Fortitude?

Andy (playing Una): Misses!

DM: Nice. You're getting used to this game, and though you feel the pull toward the door, you manage to hold strong.

“You were never good at hiding yourself.  But I suppose you know that I’ve been to speak with your father and your brother. I guess you did not wish to be left out of the loop.” Khronos said not bothering to look up from the constantly changing algorithm on the screen.

There had been a long few moments and the other had not uttered a word, perhaps this was just part of the Sin’s game or it was something else. Continuing about his work, Khronos could sit there in the peace and quiet indefinitely if the other wished it.  The deafening silence continued for about a half an hour as the timekeeper was taking particular interest in a specific set of quickly converging timelines.  One of which was dim and growing brighter and the other was becoming dimmer by the moment.  Tapping the screen, a small informational window opened with several different counters either ticking up or down.  There was a section of notes he’d done in the past on this human that needed to be reviewed at this time.

Caroline Trudeau  born 11-16-85

Time in lifespan left:     02 Hours  25 Minutes  27 Seconds

The overlapping window read:

Kendel Trudeau  born 11-16-18

In Utero time left:     02 Hours  22 Minutes  40 Seconds

Total time in Earth (planet) years:  7351 Days 13 Hours  26 Minutes  27 Seconds

Cause of Death: Drunk Driver (**ADDENDUM** due to the subjects decisions this date may be changed.)

Age at time of death: 21 Earth years

“Hmm,” Khronos began with his chin resting on his hand while he continued to read the screen, “-how tragic. But you still have time to change your fate.”

The other timelines showed significantly different outcomes still involving the two or the mother making a different choice altogether causing Kendell’s line to be replaced with or omitted completely.  Information on the replacement timeline is as follows: 

Amy Trudeau  born 11-16-18

In Utero time left:     02 Hours  22 Minutes  40 Seconds

Total time in Earth (planet) years:  40624 Days 19 Hours  51 Minutes  33 Seconds

Cause of Death: Old Age  

Age at time of death: 112 Earth years

“I am curious though how you were able to get here without causing a serious amount of harm to yourself or to others; not that you are one to care about that.”

Feeling the other getting closer to him he closed the screen as that was not for the Sin’s eyes.
