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/

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.”
“There aren’t words. Just don’t make any singing sounds,” I snapped.

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…

Welcome back to my sanctuary, my chuckaboos. Here are some notes for those of you who were not aboard at the beginning of this riverboat journey. Chuckaboo is a Victorian Era slang word for “dear friend.” Everyone who reads and leaves a friendly comment is my chuckaboo.
The setting is a magical riverboat, the Delta Pearl. It’s a steampunk fantasy, so there are elements of magic, along with real (and potentially real – that’d be the fantasy part again) technology that is suitable to the Steam Era.
The most important crewmembers of the Delta Pearl have gemstone names. They are also known by their positions as if their titles were proper names. The Captain, the Dealer, and the Cook are parental figures for the young protagonist.
The heroine is Émeraude, who recently had her sixteenth…
