"You know what that means, right? NBWR. NeoBoxer Wolf Reversion."
The fur on Lambda's back all rose. She began to drool.
Mr. Rokunai took a step back.
Lambda growled: just a low rumble. She stared at him and laid her ears back.
He turned and fled.
"C'mon, Lambda," Totemo said. "Let's go home." (3/3)

"Do you need anything else, Mr. Rokunai?"
He stared at her breasts.
"Maybe I could buy you dinner, on the way home," he said.
"I don't think that's a good idea," she replied. "It's a full moon tonight. See it coming up?"
She pointed east.
"Full moon?" he said, looking toward the horizon. (2/3)

"We're done, Mr. Rokunai," Totemo said. She and Lambda were out at a new construction site with Mr. Rokunai marking off protected plants with #tape. His fussiness made it take twice as long as necessary and it was now nearly sunset.
"Please, Miss Isogashii," he said. "Call me Omoshi." (1/3) #wss366

Our sakura tree has begun to flower.

"Sir! Sir! Can you look at me?"
I started to struggle to a sitting position, but he gently held me down.
"Can you tell me your name?" he asked.
I laid back with a groan. "Marcus."
"Thank you, Marcus. My name is Walter. Do you know what happened to you?"
"Someone hit me." (2/2)

#Boom! Boom! Boom!
Someone was pounding on the door. My head swam as I struggled to regain consciousness.
The door splintered inward and uniformed security officers charged into the room with guns drawn. Behind them, a team of EMTs came in and surrounded me. One knelt next to me. (1/2) #wss366

AI will have to pry the em-dashes from my cold, dead fingers.

There was dead silence.
Tau's tail drooped and he dropped the limp ball to the deck.
Lala picked up the punctured ball. "I'll go replicate a new one," she said.
Bebe went to Tau and patted his head. "There, there," she said. "Bebe knows it could happen to anyone." (3/3)

Zaza finally got too dizzy to continue and lost her balance. The ball went skittering off as the Angels caught Zaza to keep her from falling.
"A new #record!" they shrieked.
Tau saw the ball and irresistibly sprang to catch it.
Pop!
The Angels stared at the deflated ball in Tau's jaws. (2/3) #wss366

David and Tau returned to Angels' Wings and heard shrieking and caterwauling from Hold One. They rushed back to find the Angels all standing in a circle around Zaza who was performing pirouettes with a large ball balanced on her head.
"Eighteen! Nineteen! TWENTY!" they chanted. (1/3)

"My sister Kandela makes her own blends of tea. So I thought I'd try."
She poured a cup for Kasseh, then watched expectantly while Kasseh held the cup up to her nose.
Kasseh took a tiny sip.
"Well?"
Her stomach growled.
"You can have a scone too," Cecelia laughed, uncovering the dish. (2/2) #wss366

Kasseh came up the stairs from her jewelry shop. The dining room was laid with a tea service for two. In the middle of the table, something was was covered over with a dish towel. Kasseh sniffed.
"Something smells different," she said when Cecelia emerged from the kitchen carrying the tea pot. (1/2)

#WritersCoffeeClub How present is music in your work?

It varies. Music and dancing are present in a lot of my stories. In Revin's Heart, the pirates dance and sing folks songs. And the Better Angels are galactic-wide singing-and-dancing idols, so music features prominently. In the *Military Morale Mishegoss*, they perform a sing-along for the soldiers:
*Oh, the Cap'n of the starship, *
*he's got a nasty bark!*
*And when he bites your けつ,*
*it leaves a nasty mark!*

"What are you doing?"
"I'm a philatelist."
"Gesundheit."
"It just means I #collect stamps."
"Huh. Where are those stamps from?"
"Faerie."
"What?"
"Sure. Haven't you ever heard of Faerie Mail?" #wss366

In the Pollinator Garden, I saw these cool purple spikes. I suspect they're Solomon's seal, but I'll have to wait to see. Spring is a constant and ongoing delight of mysteries.
