Grass – green and casual
And this is an amazing thing. Grass. Such green and casual. And also, beautiful and casual. There are lots of it. And it seems, it never ends. And you can look at the different sides and, all the time, you will see the grass. Little grass is green. So, this is grass, from countryside!

*** Von Planten’s Potion****
** Part 2 **
Ajax did not question his friend but wondered how being a rotten alchemist made you the most suitable person to create an elixir of immortality.
He had a question as he stretched to get the bottle. “We’re both immortal, so why are you so all-fired anxious to get this? We have no use for it. Some new girlfriend you want to join you for eternity, nudge, nudge, wink, wink?”
Siegfried ignored the ribald suggestion and answered, “That is just it. He was a dismal alchemist. The love potion he made for the King of England triggered the Hundred Years’ War. He even created the golem that killed him. It never saw battle, collapsing in the courtyard the first day, burying him in the rubble. They found him crushed beneath a fragment of its left cheek.”
“In this case, instead of immortality, he created the Ultimate Poison, capable of killing even a god. The gods granted him this tower, crowned it with stars, and rimmed it in thorns, then sealed him inside. The nightgaunts we fought were not to keep people out but to keep him in.”
“And who do you wish to kill: Zeus, Odin, Vishnu, Amaterasu?”
“I am tired of life. All the true heroes have perished, and only we remain. Scholars study my glories in dull tomes. True love once blessed me, but my loves are not even dust in the pyramids anymore. Even Azai no longer dreams of her—Charlotte, rose-tinted Charlotte…”
A single tear traced the dust on Siegfried’s weathered face. If not for that telltale glimmer, you might not have known the grief in his stalwart heart.
He went on. “We, who walked the regal road—where time wore a crown and sang our names—are nothing but beggars now. I want to join my brothers and sisters.”
A pause.
Ajax turned the bottle slowly in his bronzed fingers. Flakes of the label drifted to the floor like dead leaves. He squinted.
“Siegfried?”
“Yes.”
“…The expiration date on this is a thousand years ago. It could not kill a fly.”

*** Von Planten’s Potion****
** Part 1 **
It was a PLAIN bottle high on a shelf. Cobwebs hung from it in a thick gray sheet, so dense it was hard to see. No different from the moth-gray canopy that covered everything. Century-old dust hung in the air, disturbed by their feet. No one had been here for decades. Only grandfather adventurers knew of it, and for them it was a tale told by their grandfather’s grandfather.
Siegfried revealed the bottle when he removed the novel “When Immortals Die.” It stood out, an oddity, one of the tower’s few works of fiction, tucked among philosophy, esotericism, and magical texts. So unimportant, the imprisoned ghosts of Alexandrian librarians had not bothered to protect it. Instead, they merely sat in a corner whispering forgotten histories or dusting the spines of the volumes.
The brown glass bottle, hidden behind the book, was so old that the glass had slumped, like melted wax. From where they stood, they could see a faded, peeling label but not read it.
“This is what I came for,” Siegfried said, showing it to his bronze-armed companion Ajax. Ajax had not seen him smile like this for ages. Not since his love, the Dream Countess Charlotte of Far Mourning Azai, had faded.
Ajax looked at the bottle with curiosity. “It must be special for us to have crossed the Sea of Ghosts and the Mountains of Madness.” Ajax glanced down to where his shadow had once been. “And the PLAIN of Lost Souls, where the shadows forget their owners.”
The tower’s isolation kept looters away, along with the reputation of its last owner, a minor and thoroughly eccentric alchemist, Sir Fritzefield von Planten. A man whose name was a footnote to a footnote in a long-forgotten collection of jokes and amusing anecdotes.
“It is. This is von Planten’s greatest achievement,” Siegfried said with awe. “Randolph Carter told me about it before he vanished into the Tower of Silence. He heard about it from Faust in a fate-weighted dream.”
“Well, from what I’ve heard, von Planten would have been lucky to brew mead without it turning to vinegar. Was it worth ruining your cloak of invisibility fighting the Greblings of the PLAIN?”
“Indeed, it was. I do not even regret breaking the Adamantine Blade of Thunder or wearing out Mercury’s Seven League Sandals. And yes, von Planten was a nincompoop, but it is his incompetence that makes him the perfect person to succeed where others failed. He set out to create a potion of immortality. This is the result.”

Dark gray clouds, thick and heavy as the humidity, threatened rain. Sam inched to the kiosk.
"Will you be using the MacLeod's app?"
"No. Two #plain burgers, medium fry, and a small cock with no ass."
Thunder rolled.
"uh... I mean a small coke with no ice."
A heavy raindrop hit his elbow.
The order taker remained silent.
In the rear view, he saw the large black van with flashing purple lights pull into the lot.
As the skies opened, he was satisfied the Brothers would get soaking wet.

A web framework for building products with Python
This project is too new to really teach any of these concepts.
There's no harm in cloning a starter kit and messing around, but you aren't going to find a lot of help here if you get stuck.
🚀🎉 Behold "Plain," the revolutionary #Python #framework that promises to #fork its way into success by rehashing Django! Because who needs #originality when you can just slap a new logo on it? 🎨🛠️ Get ready for v0.36.0—that's right, a stable #release is just a distant dream. 🙃✨
