Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “What do you mean, quarantine?” Litvir grunted as he watched Vikalos tape plastic sheets to the doorway. “What do YOU mean?” Vikalos asked back. “We need to undergo quarantine for a bit.” “Why? What do you mean by quarantine?” Vikalos grunted, stopped what he was doing and tapped on his wristband. “Definition of Quarantine: A … Read more
Rethais was late for work. He was almost never late for work, but today was an exception. Thankfully, Rethais had called ahead of time, informing his colleagues that he needed to drop someone off at the nearby port, but, weirdly, he’d never gotten a response. As Rethais arrived at work, he realised why. There was … Read more
“Wow… that’s a huge offer…” Psiksi fidgeted awkwardly, not at all sure how to feel. Standing on the opposite side of the desk was Veeksiar, the grand Rethan Archivist, keeper of the Great Rethan Libraries. Standing next to him was Veeksiar, the Great Skyan Librarian. They were both aware they shared the same name and … Read more
“I feel like I have been repeatedly bashed over the head with a frying pan…” Relkir grunted as plates of food appeared in front of him. “Too much for my small Rethan brain to handle.” Only a few hours ago, Relkir and his fellow Divine Guardians had experienced a rather traumatic event, followed by a … Read more
Kinisis sighed as she read the long list that the Decay Lord has presented to her. Galyn meant well, but this massive list of items seemed like a very passive-aggressive way to say that Kinisis had majorly fucked up and needed a little too much assistance. “Is there a problem, Life Goddess Kinisis?” “No, no… … Read more
Arkadin sat on the bed, not sure what to do with himself. It wasn’t his bed. His bedroom in general had been trashed by an errant, feral Life Goddess with an addiction to mind rape and mass murder. Right now, he was sitting in fellow Decayling Retvik’s bedroom, minding his own business. That Life Goddess … Read more
Arkadin scrambled to his feet as rubble and shards of metal collapsed around him. The explosion that had just torn through the hull of this small ship was meant to kill him, but Arkadin was determined to keep himself alive. His bigger worry however was that the Life Goddess trying to murder him was also … Read more
Litvir grunted as a small cloud of steam whizzed past his head while he was working. For the last twenty minutes, he had been trying to work out how to sedate the beings that were trying to kill them, with little success. Meanwhile, for those entire twenty minutes, Retvik had been holding off the massive … Read more
Sparks and static bounced across the ship as the three Decay Lords dashed around, both trying to keep the integrity of their ship secure and attempting to contain the strange being that was attempting to take over. While Vikalos rushed about, filling holes with his omnipurpose ship repair tool, Galyn and Itaviir were duking it … Read more
“Alright… We are passing through onto the Kiniseon One…” Retvik was doing his best to be optimistic. “Do you wish to let me do the talking?” Litvir shrugged as the three Decaylings appeared in the cargo bay of this new ship. “Sure. Arkay can keep an eye out and I can keep a mind out.” … Read more
“The plan is very simple. You three go inside. Inform the occupants that we received a distress signal from them. Record how they react. Check for any obvious break-ins. Understood?” Arkadin raised a hand, clearly having questions. Itaviir frowned, wondering why the Decayling hadn’t understood. “What is it, Deathbringer?” “Uh… why are you sending us … Read more
“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
