Coronation done, the court awaited the raven bringing the prophecy of the new king's demise. Would it be an epic one, like slain by no man, or by the hand of his son?
The raven arrived and nodded to the king. "Heart failure."
"That could be anything!"
Behind him, the face of a halberdier drooped.

** Mea culpa.
A lot of readers on multiple platforms have let me know they didn't get this.
He's my thinking:
The halberdier (bodyguard soldier holding a huge axe) is having a stroke, (heart failure). Drooping face is a telltale sign.In a moment, he'll collapse forward, bringing the halberd down on the newly crowned king, killing him.
But! A stroke is not a heart failure, so the subtle clue I felt clever about is actively misleading.
I failed to do my research.
I apologise for that.**

@letterus @lwflouisa that's probably a fair description.

@heiglandreas @preinheimer that's too big, though. Pushing that kind of change requires a lot of trust.

operand@todon.nl darius@friend.camp I'm here making it a reality!
Topical forums definitely have their place, and the federation aspect is icing on the cake as far as I'm concerned.

@BaroneAsmo Leggende Arceus, con tutti i suoi difetti (ed erano parecchi) è l'ultimo che mi ha divertita.
Aggiungo: giochi insufficienti, e li fa pure pagare una barca di soldi. A 'sto giro passo più che volentieri, sperando che il vento cambi, ma arrivata a 'sto punto dubito cambierà mai.

@gubi non conosco molto Scribus ; Inkscape per il poco che faccio a me va benone. Ma Gimp…. Gimp lo conosco abbastanza ed è sì un po’ un peccato…. 🤷🏻♂️ servirebbe una bella e corposa iniezione di migliorie, nuove funzioni ecc Spero sempre che prima o poi o Gimp o un suo fork dia a Linux (o a win / Mac) un programma più valido (contando che ci sono perle open-source tipo Krita e Blender…. Dunque si , si può fare!)
