I mention...It does need a name, doesn't it? :)<br /><br />I mentioned nonnigs briefly before in a G+ post, but not here I don't think:<br /><br /><i>At a bend in the road the cart of an itinerant trader, Syrano Znefft, has lost a wheel and spilled his cargo of scintilla-sniffing nonnigs. The furry, rolly-polly creatures are crawling here and there, trilling piteously as they are chased and assaulted by squeaking sweetmeat manikins escaped from a field at the side of the road. Znefft, cursing, kicks and swats them away as he tries to gather his wares in quavering armfuls. The mannikin-tender, a farm lass with hair of pastel blue, leans against a fence post and looks on with distant amusement as she languorously chews a bite from the head and shoulders of a squirming manikin.</i><br /><br />I spend a lot of time trying to come up with the Vancian names (or at least, more than I probably ought to), so glad they are appreciated.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-51604801458900923942018-07-30T17:54:39.927-04:002018-07-30T17:54:39.927-04:00Ah, I love science fantasy world!
Have you writte...Ah, I love science fantasy world!<br /><br />Have you written about nonnigs before? From the image, I gather that it would be quite disastrous if they were to breech the precautions meant to keep them contained, although I don't know if that entirely comes through in the description. (I mean, there's room to infer it, but it's not especially obvious.)<br /><br />Super Vancian names this time around!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15493700749333105771noreply@blogger.com
