Sunday Salutations: Close Up Chaos Critters
Pictures of the chaos critter crew with a few rhyming lines or two.
There is nothing better than a close up cuddle with one of your critters when you are having a rough week. I am not sure why it is, but even when they are brats, it just helps. And for some reason, I am writing very odd poems for each. I am going to go with I am more tired than I like to admit.
Chaos Critter Close Ups
Fluffy
We will start with Fluffy.
Fluffy isn’t fluffy but her word is law.
So we sit and wait for her to grow wings and fly.
For a dragon is never done changing the world around them.
Aki
She was the first.
Aki is the princess. The queen of all she sees.
Her sneezes make the windows rattle.
Like her wheezes.
But don’t tattle.
Beleth
He hung around.
Beleth latched onto Tod.
At first, we thought it was very odd,
But then we learned it his true goal
To have a cuddle.
Crokell
He was the fastest puppy.
Fast and Furious was his first name.
Something we had little hope to tame,
but them we found out his weakness,
Napping with sleekness.
Dante
This puppy nose is sharp.
Dante dances in place.
Even sitting is a race.
He doesn’t do it to save face,
but his butt will always wiggle in place.
Chaos Tip of the Week
Make time to cuddle your own chaos critters. After all, time spent with a critter is worth so much more than times that spent on the internet.

What is the one action your critter does to remind you they need attention? Does it work or get on your nerves?

We’re pleased to see our fellow Alpha Mercs joining us: Zane Voss, Sam Robb (the first anthology we were in was also with Sam), B.K. Gibson (who also gave great developmental feedback during edits https://coldlightrpgpress.weebly.com/), and Nathaniel McIntyre.
We think our story has the most interesting one liner in the announcement:
“Family Honor” by A. Kristina Casasent, featuring a Ring Against the Wolf, tells the story of a Tirenean nobleman struggling with the challenge of producing an heir with his new wife.

The Swampdoodle bumps us with his wet nose, and the Feline-muse gives us the stare when she wants something. If she really wants something she meows. The rest of the time, she is full ninja. 🤫
