KlepsisFebruary 16: What’s the most ridiculous place you’ve tried to sneak in some writing?
Probably that time I was sitting in a shallow hole stalking a giant hedgehog.

Spooky Panda 🏳️🌈@youseeatortoise @Klepsis I was just gonna say...
@floofpaldi @Klepsis how big was the hedgehog? How big do hedgehogs get even?
@youseeatortoise @Klepsis And why was the hole so shallow???
@floofpaldi @youseeatortoise well, a giant hedgehog was making a nuisance of itself in a nearby village. Often, villagers will just call out some swordmen to kill the creature, but the people of this particular hamlet commendably don't want to harm it, just encourage it to forage elsewhere. Thus, they prefer a magical solution.
So, they call me. Crafting the appropriate deterrent requires me to observe the animal for some time. So, there I was, hidden near the woods, waiting for the hedgehog to show. Perfect time to get some writing done.
@floofpaldi @youseeatortoise This one was about the size of a gryphon. I've seen them as big as a small dragon, but that one may have been artificially enlarged.
@Klepsis @youseeatortoise This was such a joy to read, oh my goodness. Love love love it.
