Human capital.

This is what billionaire-run companies like Oracle think of you. Not as human beings, but as "human capital." In other words, you are not a living being with aspirations and agency. You are something else, something they own and manipulate to maximize profit.

From my rewrite of The Oracle’s Journey, Ozanna's POV. She's jaded and kinda pessimistic, but she's self aware and tries not to dwell on it. #Wipsnips #writesky #writingcommunity #romantasy
I couldn't shake the feeling luck was against me, though. But that was a longstanding flaw in my personality. Growing up in the Rooted Temple's dormitory, I'd been an outlier in many ways, but that one wore on my caregivers. So the matrons encouraged me to focus on the positive when that sense of dread came calling. While it never changed the outcome, it at least made the time leading up to disaster a little more pleasant. "We have a plan," I muttered to myself, before picking up the reins. "It's not even a bad plan. Better than the wyvern plan, at least. This can work out." But that turned out to be overly optimistic.

From my rewrite of The Oracle’s Journey, Ozanna's POV. She gives Lhoris the nickname "handy elf" after he frisked her for weapons. (Even though she admits he didn't take advantage of the opportunity to be inappropriate.) #wipsnips #writesky #writingcommunity #romantasy
I was so done. Not that the assholes by the fire had delivered much of a beating. They'd just been toying with me, really. Big stupid cats pushing me about like a stunned mouse. Except, the mouse in this scenario was exhausted and at the end of her fucking rope. Lobikno kept a watchful eye over me once the others dispersed, his gravelly voice occasionally startling me awake when I dozed off. Otherwise, I sat in sullen silence at his feet, waiting for whatever they had in store for me. It wasn't long before handsy-fucking-elf yanked me to my feet by the shirtfront and slung me over his shoulder again. I was still sore from our previous struggle and, well, my day overall. His leather pauldron dug into my middle again and pressed hard against the ribs it bruised earlier. My head pounded as it dangled upside down and I struggled to breathe.

The algorithm for TikTok will be under the control of Oracle’s Larry Ellison and Marc Andreesson, hosted by Oracle; and will undoubtedly be configured to feed more extreme right-wing views to its users, while suppressing others.

Limits on personal wealth, regulation of social media: both needed.

From my rewrite of The Oracle’s Journey, Lobikno's pov. For context, Ozanna's bound hand and foot, and someone previously referred to her as a "trussed roast."
#Romantasy #wipsnips #writesky #writingcommunity
"A gentleman would give his lady gifts and perform kind acts out of love," Judith added. "Like the assortment of sweets Duke Nicolas sent. An excellent gift." The princess smiled. "The note said they were all his favorites." The halfie nodded. "I've only ever been plied with alcohol. And cheese. But, dukes and the like are a little outside my station." The princess cocked her head, a curiously bird like movement, and peered back at the trussed roast. "Has Lhoris given you sweets?" The halfie closed her eyes and rubbed her face, growling into her bound hands. I chuckled and saw the opportunity to have a little fun. "Lhoris is a terrible dark elf, but this," I said, gesturing to the ropes, "is how our kind courts a female." The halfie and maids turned to look at me in horror, but the princess furrowed her brow in thought. "So, the rope is like sweets?" "Yes. The ladies run away before they get to know you if you don't tie them up. And these are fine enchanted ropes." I explained, touching the toe of my boot to the rope at the halfie's ankles. It came undone in a fluid motion. I did it a second time, and the rope flowed about her ankles. "If you had enemies that he could kill, he might even bring you their heads." Again, the three older women gaped at me in horror and revulsion. "Ah!" the princess exclaimed. "That would be a gift and an act of love!" Then the looks of disgust turned to her.

From my rewrite of The Oracle’s Journey, Ozanna's POV. I had to stretch for this one. 😅
I met his gaze without batting an eye. "You're the one who told me that the castle staff will turn me away if I'm late." "I was almost done. Has it been that long since you've left your forest, or did you just forget humans can't do shit like that?" He waved a blocky hand at the tip box. The temptation to toss the silver piece was almost irresistible-to just flick it between his fingers and into the coin slot-but it wasn't really necessary. That and I was less likely to get my change. I wasn't so worried about the coppers since Tabi had earned them. I tipped my head and glanced at the other patrons sitting down the bar. "They didn't know I'm not all-human." And then my fellow patrons muttered among themselves, guessing at my possible partial heritage. "Too tall to have dwarf blood." "Not enough hair." "Has to be elf." "Maybe. Do you think fairy?" "Nah, not dressed like that. Heard they're fancy." Not that there was anything wrong with my clothes. The leather pants and vest were a little worn, but the plain linen blouse didn't have holes in it. I'd checked before putting it on that morning. But they were correct. Not that anyone knew what a fairy looked like, anyway.

From my rewrite of The Oracle’s Journey, Lhoris' POV. This passage needs refining, but it's got a nice bit about elven magic. #Wipsnips #writesky #writingcommunity #romantasy #fantasy #fantasyromance
"You have magic; it's just not a lot," I explained. "I witnessed your use of it twice before this morning. And since you've been around Lobikno and me, it's finally strong enough for you to smell." She scoffed and frowned and then eyed me. "No. What?" "When you launched the door at me," I said, allowing myself a wry grin, "and again when you were cutting down my treacherous crew." My gaze flicked over the pink lines on her left arm, scars where Rhyfon's sword had sliced as she parried. She may not have survived that encounter if not for the little boost being around other elves had given her. "You're swift as a fox, love, and you've been using a touch of magic to do it." "How?" she asked. I didn't have a straightforward answer. "You've heard me talk about innate, natural magic. Elves experience it like water. It flows through us, and everyone has their own current ..." I trailed off when I realized my explanation made little sense to her. "It's like breathing. You just do."

From my rewrite of The Oracle’s Journey, Ozanna's pov. Still needs some tweaking, but you get the gist. #Wipsnips #writesky #writingcommunity #romantasy
My primary duty as Guardian, as given to me by the Order of the Mother, was to safeguard the vulnerable along my stretch of the North Road. I had territory in Stikredel, just on the other side of Kasta's border, at the very edge of the eastern mountain range. There I lived on nature's bounty and kept to myself when there weren't highwaymen to strike down or dangerous animals to deal with. Occasionally I'd have to eliminate an invasive warren of wily, fae-touched hares-scurrying creatures sometimes found a way through the nearby mountain pass—but I'd rather deal with those or bloody highwaymen than leave my post to earn money for the Order. Disappearing hares with fangs and thieves with swords weren't nearly as aggravating as human nobility.

It's less the bond issuance themselves, but the likely way they're being treated especially given the rabid appetite the markets seems to have for AI debt atm (Oracle's recent $18b bond issuance that was oversubscribed by 4x is a great example of the current appetite )

From my rewrite of The Oracle’s Journey, Ozanna's POV. This is directly after being stopped by the dark elf highwaymen. And after a quick threat assessment, she accepts that she can't take them on by herself. #Wipsnips #writesky #writingcommunity #romantasy
I sighed in resignation, concluding that I'd just have to hear what he had to say. Perhaps we could just hand over our valuables and move on, but all of this was overkill for random robbery. I had a cold, sinking feeling they were looking for a dowry. "What do you want?" I demanded with a partial sneer. The elf placed a hand over his heart and feigned hurt with a sneaky, dimpled grin. "No time for social niceties?" Truthfully, after the wyvern attack, and abandoning the guardsmen, I just didn't have it in me to play games. I felt hollowed out, exhausted, and my nerves jangled with every movement in my peripheral vision. All I had to offer was a bitchy façade. "No. Just get on with it," I snapped.

Oh gosh, there's a lot of humor in the first half of The Oracle’s Journey , but "silly maidens" is reoccurring. As is the idea one can woo women with good cheese. #novmemeber #writesky #writingcommunity #romantasy
"She's a young, very inexperienced woman on her way to meet her betrothed. She's curious about romance." I threw my head back and held the back of my wrist across my forehead in a melodramatic swoon. With an incredulous, crooked grin, Lhoris lifted a pale brow at my theatrics. "That's ... well, that's just silly, Oz." I laughed from my belly. "Well, yes, young humans usually are when it comes to that. Being fed a romanticized version of relationships in song and story doesn't help." "Surely, you were never like that?" he asked, his cadence teasing. "You're so sensible." "Probably not as much as Emmelina, being so sheltered," I hedged with a shrug. "But yes, I was once a young, impressionable maiden. And most of my friends were, too." "I've never witnessed such a thing," he scoffed with a shake of his head. "I suspect I'm more familiar with the habits of maidens-having been one," I replied and stuck my tongue out at him. "I'm a kidnapper, I've spent plenty of time around maidens," he quipped, and flashed me the smile that made my heart trip over his dimples. Guille ... what a stupid name. Gee-ya ... it sounded more like a kind of cheese than a name for a person. But if all human women liked cheese as much as Oz did, maybe it wasn't so stupid.

From my rewrite of The Oracle’s Journey, Lhoris' POV. #Wipsnips #writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompts #romantasy
I'd either underestimated the princess's head start, or her feet were exceptionally swift for those of a human. Her scent trail was so strong that even the half-elven mercenary knew where to start, yet we came no closer to our target. Tracking was not my strong suit, by any means, but I was surpriser to find the others struggling with it. I'd witnesse them successfully pursue more elusive prey with such ruthless efficiency and vigor that none could escape. A cloistered human princess shouldn't be so canny a target as the fae touched foxes they routinely hunted for pelts. They claimed, with great hesitance, that she back tracked and crossed over her scent trail too frequently. I chided them for making excuses. It took us too long to realize she'd gone up into the trees, since we'd never encountered a human that thought to do so. Despite our subterranean culture, we were as skilled as our woodland cousins in scaling trees, perhaps a residual trait from shared ancient ancestors. The boughs and branches might not bend to our will, but our nimble feet navigated the paths our eyes plotted through the canopy with ease. And when we finally closed in on the girl, her scent was cast over the entire area like a net. As though she'd flitted through the trees like a dragonfly, spying on creatures tucked safely in their nests for the night.

From my rewrite of The Oracle’s Journey, Ozanna's POV. All my other monster mentions have spoilers. #Wipsnips #writesky #writingcommunity #romantasy
I didn't know much about dragons. They lived on the northern end of the continent and anything mankind knew about them came from our ancestors or second-hand accountings from the dwarves. But I understood the nature of birds and lizards. If these creatures were anything like birds of prey, they would linger nearby, aggressively protecting the nest. But some lizards would patrol their territory instead of focusing on the nest itself. Considering the nestling was alone, if you don't count the girl, and the markings we saw on the way in, one might think the adults were off minding their territory. Which also meant we wouldn't have much time to act. There was no telling when their patrol would bring them back to the nest. Steffon was soon at my elbow, staring at the pair below in what looked to be resigned horror. I gave him a moment to appreciate the situation before moving to where I could hear the guards gathered. "I can move a bit faster than any of you," I whispered to them. "I'll go down and try to coax the girl away from the nest. You lot watch out for the adult beasts. I'm not armed well enough to deal with them." "Neither are we!" one of them hissed. "Do any of you have a better plan?" I grumbled in reply, motioning to the sleeping monster at the bottom of the ravine. None of them spoke up. The look on their faces said they regretted leaving their armor behind. I regretted wearing skirts.
