As I play Pokémon Sword, I can't help but think of how many of the bad situations Thurgood Singlance would have murdered Galar out of.
Chairman Rose wouldn't live past the conversation at the top of the tower, Sordward and Shieldbert would have their smug asses ventilated after they forced the first Dynamax, and Sonia's new "assistant" would be suffering for three days with a horrendous fever before dying of sepsis from being impaled Vlad-Dracula-style. Guess that's why he's here on Valucre instead of whatever planet the Pokémon games take place on...
 
...oh, and Oleanna's life would be in danger too...

Two status updates in one day?
Yep, I remember what I originally wanted to write: The Comity of the Kitten Pile is happening!
A while ago, I made an interest check about a fun social club that didn't have a name yet. This will be the end result of that line of thinking.
Lillith Reiter and her paragons are the only ones specifically never welcome.

I think Thurgood Singlance will get into general contracting.
"I get shit done."

"Staring across this barren, wasted land; I feel new life will be born beneath the bloodstained sand."

"Well we, this little duo here, are flat FUCKING broke! But hey, let's go spend four-hundred pounds of Rhodium on a manor to babysit people that will abhor us soon if they don't already!"
"Whoa, we're not broke, we just... have our wealth locked in illiquid assets."
"What's the fucking difference? Either way, we don't have the cash to drop on an outhouse much less a noble manor right now! Especially after how much we had to shell out to fight Lillith Reiter!"

I want to scream, and then keep screaming til I hit the death rattle. 

Sharks can smell a single drop of blood in an Olympic swimming pool. 
If you're surprised by this, imagine how surprised the people in that pool were.

WHEN PEOPLE DON'T INSTANTLY REPLY TO MY MESSAGES
BRAIN: People have lives! There's any number of reasons why they haven't responded y-
ANXIETY: THEY HATE YOU. YOU MADE THEM HATE YOU. WHY DO YOU PUSH EVERYONE AWAY?

NEWS ANCHOR: Scientists say there is still much work to be done to break the chain of COVID transmission.
NO ONE:
ME: I CAN STILL HEAR YOU SAYING YOU WOULD NEVER BREAK THE CHAIN!

You can't put a price on the joy of having a friend exclaim, "CHECKPOINT!" when he meant to say, "Checkmate!."

Peach Toadstool has a horribly incompetent security team. In New Super Mario Brothers Wii, they let a cake in with the tops of all Bowser's kids poking through the top ring round the bottom tier. Seriously? If they tried that with Aveline Singlance, the news headlines next day would be "Bowser Koopa and all Eight Children Brutally Murdered."
"Police found a gruesome scene in the Sierra Ossa mountains as several wooden airships burned violently after they plummeted into the mountainside. After the fires were extinguished, many charred corpses were found, including Bowser (both senior and junior) Wendy, Morton, Larry, Iggy, Roy, Lemmy, and Ludwig Koopa. Though autopsies have yet to be performed, medical examiners at the scene note obvious bullet holes characteristic of a larger-caliber pistol, and very large exit wounds, characteristic of expanding bullets."

I think Thurgood Singlance may have a Grumble beef with Lillith Reiter. Will this spill over into actual, canon RP?

I saw a reward on a quest of 32 ounces of rhodium, and at US$500 an ounce, that's US$16,000; a good amount for an individual.
It's also the gross profit that the Mil Dot Lunaris makes in an average of about...
...ten to fifteen minutes.

If Thurgood Singlance did much of what he wanted in Ursa Madeum, there would be a city on the coast with its buildings being overwhelmingly constructed with aluminum. Every single-family house would be framed and clad in aluminum; the sidings and roof could be anodized in damn near any color of the rainbow (no painting required in that case), and every window could use synthetic sapphire instead of glass (which is an aluminum-based mineral). The electrical cables would only have two conductors, because the entire fucking frame would be the grounding conductor. Aluminum furniture would be the norm, high-rises would be framed and built with aluminum instead of steel, but the concrete would use polymer-reinforced-fiberglass rebar because aluminum and concrete don't go so well together.

One thing I want to see in a steampunk setting is a steam boat, probably needing to flee or chase down another boat, retract its paddle wheel(s), spin up a set of steam turbines, and engage the clutches on a couple of jet pumps.
