Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “You broke quarantine.” “I do not care.” “You broke a lot of things.” Tenuk grunted as he sat down in the co-pilot seat, next to Retvik. They were both angry but for vastly different reasons. Retvik was watching the navigation screen. The ship was on autopilot, floating in orbit around Portalia, waiting for permission to … Read more
“Aaaaarky?” Yisini’s voice echoed across the grassy plains. The grass may have been brown and pink and the wind may have been howling, but the Allbirther’s voice carried across the sky, rushing through dead trees and over trickling rivers. The Deadlands of Kinigi were always a quiet, peaceful place, but the only thing that ever … Read more
Teekay tried to work out what was going on and clearly couldn’t make heads or tails of the situation, apart from the fact that he was being held at gunpoint. In front of him were seven fully armoured Rethans, all silently scowling at him. It had all started with a simple knock. And then a … Read more
“I cannot believe that they just let you do all of this online…” Teekay blinked as he watched Elkay fill in forms. The process was going incredibly slowly, not because the forms were hard to answer, but because Elkay didn’t know what to put, aside from his name and date of birth. The fact that … Read more
“Well, I am glad that I finally got to use those…” Teekay muttered as he tried to catch his breath. “Even if it wasn’t me using them…” “I am glad you came prepared too…” Elkay’s mood was hard to judge from where Teekay was. He’d always thought that Elkay was a very fit and healthy … Read more
Sheets of paper littered the table, spilling onto the floor. Elkay looked on in confusion as Teekay printed out more and more paper, stopped, then refilled the printer. “Uh… What are you doing?” Teekay looked up. “Printing things out.” “Well obviously, but what are you printing out?” “Forms” “What for?” “Repatriation.” Elkay tutted. “Did you … Read more
“Hi.” “Hi…” “You awake?” Elkay lifted his head wearily. “I am now.” “Sorry, but I have a lot of questions and I really have to ask you now.” Teekay was sitting on top of Elkay, pinning him down. How Elkay hadn’t noticed, he wasn’t sure. But he was so exhausted that it was possible he’d … Read more
Kairos had never liked the little moon which Yisini called home. It was a stunningly beautiful little planetoid, with a rich, thick atmosphere, plenty of fresh water and more blooming plant species living on it than one could shake a stick at. On top of the precious flora, there were also plenty of exotic animal … Read more
The wind was harsh. Harsher than normal. It was accompanied by a spattering of rain, not hard enough to require shelter but present nonetheless. Right now, Elkay didn’t care as he stared into the dark abyss, contemplating his life. He knew the exact moment where it had all shattered. Leading the innocent to safety. Protecting … Read more
Retvik sat at the control panel, staring out into the strange environment outside. It was raining shards of pale blue glass, sharp sheets of crystal meth, and the swaying trees outside had been completely battered. Based on the planet’s orientation, it should have been entering summer season, but the sudden changes to the planet had … Read more
Elkay stared out of the window, torrents of thoughts sloshing through his mind. He had been living with Teekay for a few weeks now, and although he was comfortable and feeling better, there were many things that were bothering him. Right now, the biggest issue Elkay had was how it was always dark outside. Elkay … Read more
Normally, Volt didn’t accept random invitations. But today’s random invitation was from a familiar friend. Someone he hadn’t spoken to in a while. A normally very happy little Excalibur who often found himself stuck in the past. But as Volt accepted the random invitation, he realised all was not well. “GO AWAAAAAAY!” Excalibur screamed as … Read more
“I can’t fucking believe we’re still on this damn ship!” Elksia screeched as she charged in and out of the kitchen area. “I wanna go out there! I hate it in here! Is boring!” Psiksi had been ignoring Elksia at first. Ever since they had arrived on the strange, tattered planet, something had felt wrong … Read more
“Am I a traitor?” Elkay suddenly asked as he swirled a glass of orangey drink in his hands. “What?” Teekay lifted his head up off the pile of cushions and glared at Elkay. He was sleepy and definitely too tipsy. Glancing at the nearest clock, he realised that he and Elkay had been drinking for … Read more
“What is that?” Elkay asked as the front door opened and Teekay stepped inside. Teekay was carrying a large bag of shopping, which he unceremoniously dumped on the dining table. “What are you doing?” Teekay replied with a completely unrelated question. “What are you cooking?” Elkay’s eyes drifted from the dining table to the frying … Read more
