Hey, ZaiaFantasy, I completed your challenge! Here are my sentences!

She would live on to keep the memory of the dead alive, for now that was the only recompense she could give to the slain.

Everything Pawnrig wore was ludicrous from his blue hat that replaced the sky sitting on his head with the now orange feather snugly in the band ....

Guiding the souls of the dead is part of her ministration, it is her duty to watch over the same ones her goddess does.

...before this the idea of such a thing was absurd but now with it so real, so palpable she had to wonder how much more was out there.

The two were throwing caution to the wind much to the irritation of the petulant knight.

I think I skipped this one accidentally.

Today's Word: Haberdasher
Sentence: They passed through a part of the city Julian knew pretty well. He once needed a suit and visited this old guy who called himself a haberdasher, not a tailor. He was old fashioned, but knew his clothing.

Hey, ZaiaFantasy, I completed your challenge! Here are my sentences!
I guess I can recompense the generous gesture by becoming better friends with her.

I snickered to myself about the ludicrous idea of “limited time offers”, for they always stick around longer than they say they will.

I plead to anyone who feasts their eyes on this memoir; please don’t make any ministrations’ job harder than it can be.

It is palpable that they did sneak some something that tastes like wood in; it makes it have that rugged organic taste everybody is looking for now.

I returned the greeting with a very petulant “Good Morning”, for I didn’t want to see him that moment.

Kiri: Ren was right, I just didn't update word
counts yeterday. Real life is a b***h sometimes...

.

It's true... and thank you for easing my very easy to arouse paranoia that I missed a word.

[Da Flea]

Hijinx: Thank you. Now I just have to focus on getting my words caught up. (And maintaining the energy to write, which seems to have abandoned me. sweatdrop )

Today's Word: splenetic
Sentence: She realized she still hadn't answered and bristled with anger. A dozen splenetic remarks flew through her mind, but they'd only bounce off, so what good were they? Out of frustration, she muttered, "It's pathetic, losing your whole band. Is this how you teach me a lesson about 'teamwork'?"

[Sieffre]

Today's Word: trammel
Sentence: She was right, he realised. Only now that they had broken through the trammels of their relationship did he have the benefit of retrospection.

[AurinJade]

Today's Word: gargantuan
Sentence: Their predicament had gone from huge to gargantuan. They were in more trouble than she could even process.
