Welcome to another episode of The Delta Pearl, my chuckaboos.

And now, after posting, I see that WordPress has messed with me again. Sigh… I thought I had given a shout out to Resa, for her “thing” Gibson Girl hairdo. But that disappeared. Now it will have to wait until morning when I hope to be able to use the Internet.

Previously the Delta Pearl apparently had greater needs than any of the crew anticipated, because she instigated her bonding ceremony with the librarian from Cairo, IL much sooner than anyone expected. Not only that, but Victor accidentally got pulled into it as well. The bonding seemed to be complete, but there were interruptions, so we can’t really be…

Awesome chapter Teagan. Perhaps Victor will not mind somethings happen for a reason.

Welcome to my sanctuary. It’s a safe place for all of us (including me), beyond any politics or creed, with no bullying or passive aggressiveness allowed. I’m happy that you came back for another episode of The Delta Pearl, my chuckaboos.

There are so many great minds here. were thinking alike when separately they both left crystal ball as a random reader thing.

Previously Émeraude and Victor, along with Cal the crazy clockwork horse, chased the tiny, stowaway copper scarab to the riverboat’s boiler room. There they found visible music, a biproduct of the Delta Pearl’s magic. Jet, the librarian from their shore trip in Cairo, IL was being bound to the riverboat. Victor was caught in the musical process. Opal, the keeper of the riverboat’s secrets and…

Forgive my hasty intro, my chuckaboos. I hope you can also overlook the lack of illustrations. They are usually a bit part of my posts. However, my “technical difficulties” made it more than hard enough to even post a chapter.

This week’s things:

Influence of the Delta Pearl from Dan Antion https://nofacilities.com/

Purdonium from Barb Taub https://barbtaub.com/

Without further ado…

All aboard!

Victor T. Elam scooped up Cal, where the clockwork horse repeatedly walked against the boiler room door. I threw the lever and opened the hatch. The reverberation of the ancient tones engulfed us.

“What ever you do, don’t sing!” I told Victor.

“My voice isn’t all that bad,” he defended himself. “Besides, I don’t know the words anyway.”

Crystal happy birthday 14 Happy 14th Birthday to Crystal

First things first. Happy 14th Birthday to Crystal! My little feline superhero in the Batgirl mask. She likes to play with the combination of her arched scrubbing brush and teaser-string. On the steampunk background, the brush looks like a sea monster, and super Crystal showing it who is boss.

She came from a colony of feral cats in a dangerous part of town, south of Albuquerque. A rescue group had their eyes open though. They knew her mom was about to give birth, and they intervened. The tiniest kitten I’d ever seen, she popped her head up and looked at me during an adoption event. That was fourteen years ago. She’s my little feline superhero in her Batgirl mask.

I really felt the need to take a break from this serial, and focus on the novel I started way back in…
