Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “Group Six here, please respond.” Galyn grunted as he picked up the receiver, listening in to this communication. “Thantir Two here, what is the problem?” The voice on the other end, a weirdly mechanical voice, immediately perked up. “Oh, hello Galyn! How are you doing?” “Kal, I thought you had headed off on your own … Read more
“So… we work for her now?” “Yes, yes we do.” “And you’re all just… accepting that?” Relkir nodded, somewhat blankly, as he kept an eye on Teekay. Teekay was strapped to the table, for reasons he wasn’t completely sure about. He’d originally thought it was because, due to some rather weird events, he had somehow … Read more
“You guys seem tired…” Arkadin grunted as he wandered into the Decayling lounge area, carrying several large books. Really, the books weren’t that large, but since Arkadin was small, they looked outlandish on his person. “Were you two… at it… again?” “Yes, actually. You seem disappointed that we were. Do you not like it when … Read more
“Litvir, may I ask a personal question?” The shadowy Decayling sat up and glanced at Retvik. They were both essentially naked, having enjoyed a little private time together. Nothing too serious, just some mutual playing around. All things considered, this made Retvik’s question seemed rather weird. “You know we are lying here, naked and uncleaned, … Read more
Viia smiled as she coiled her long, snaking fingers around the neck of the tiny creature. This one had just managed to send out a distress signal out into the void, but that was fine. It simply meant Viia could get more subjects later. Her takeover had gone very smoothly, aside from the protective vault … Read more
“Oh heck… I really don’t feel well…” Teekay clutched his head in one hand and his stomach in the other as Relkir tried to gently sit him down on the bed. Most of the medical bay had been unused so far, so Relkir wasn’t quite sure where everything was located. “How so?” Relkir asked, somewhat … Read more
The signal crept through the darkness, scratching its way through various frequencies, before suddenly screeching to life, nearly deafening its not-entirely-intended recipient. Teekay fell back from his chair in shock, only just managing to catch himself by grabbing on to the desk to his side. “What happened? What was that?” Relkir was immediately on hand … Read more
Vikalos frowned as he monitored each little beep and click, checking a wide array of apparatus, while occasionally glancing out the window. Outside, there was nothing but darkness, although it felt darker than usual. Storms were erupting in said darkness, making the overall atmosphere unpleasant. Said atmosphere at least was going to improve a little, … Read more
“What do you mean, we have to stop here?” Kinisis screeched as she stomped into the main deck. “We can go anywhere and do anything, why the hell are we stopped here?” Normally Tahanhos was quite content with his duties. He had a nice, tidy schedule, great co-workers and all the amenities he could ever … Read more
“Good evening, everyone, and welcome to Traps and Thraki!” Vikalos wandered around the table, handing a small book and several sheets of paper to each of his five guests. He then circled around once more, gently placing a small, satin draw-strong bag in front of everyone. “Today, I am your Trapmaster, and I shall be … Read more
Tahvra blinked in confusion as he checked out the window, then checked the myriad of consoles around him, then checked outside again. He had gotten the coordinates perfect. They were at the exact location Kinisis wanted them to be. But as Tahvra continued to frantically check all the monitors and messages beeping at him, he … Read more
“Wow…” “What?” “WOW…” “What?” “WOW!!!” Retvik tutted, rolling his eyes as something crashed behind him. “Litvir, what is wrong with you?” Litvir pulled himself out of his chair and off the floor, having fallen back in shock. “I passed!” “You passed what?” “That insane time-based exam we took! I somehow passed!” “We all somehow passed.” … Read more
Why do I feel like this? My existence isn’t that bad right now, but I just… I just don’t want to be here. I feel utterly empty and miserable. As if I have no meaning what so ever, except to serve others. I’m exhausted all the time and barely even have the strength to do … Read more
“What do you think, boss?” Kinisis crossed her arms, listening carefully to the recording, rewinding it and playing it again. She had done this a good twenty or so times now, carefully examining each little sound and crackle. “Hm… Curious…” “We’re gonna need more than just the word “curious”, boss. What is it?” The Life … Read more
Despite being a partially mechanical being that always wore a mask, Akah was somehow visibly miserable. He had been miserable for a long time, but ever since that strange being Kinisis had met had gone and disappeared, Akah had been even more miserable than normal. Tahnahos had spent a lot of time trying to cheer … Read more
