Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay Music. After aeons of silence, after aeons of floating through an endless void, Arkay could hear music. A faint, melodic tune, accompanied by twisting blue, gold and white spidering veins of glistening energy. For so long, Arkay had seen nothing but endless darkness, heard nothing but whistling winds, felt nothing but hollow emptiness, so the … Read more
The first thing Elkay noticed as he woke up was the sharp scent of blood and bleach. Both smells were there, with the bleach being far, far stronger, but there was definitely a lot of blood buried underneath the chlorine. The second thing Elkay noticed was that everything was white. Mainly the ceiling above him. … Read more
Elkay stared at the bowl of melted ice cream, wandering what to do with it. He didn’t really want ice cream. He didn’t even really like ice cream aside from the odd savory flavour. But there he was, sitting in an ice cream parlor, staring at an ice cream. An ice cream he had to … Read more
Kairos and Arkadin laid on the silver grass, gazing up at the universe above them. In the distance, Epani could be seen prancing around the stars, playing inside a nebula. By their side was a blanket with a large spread of food, a picnic made with the gods’ insatiable appetites in mind. Unusually, the Allbirther … Read more
Elkay cursed under his breath as the front door creaked open. He had just wanted to sneak in, grab his gunstaff and leave, but nope, the front door conspired against him, rudely announcing his presence. “I thought I told you lot to bugger off home?” Instinctively, Elkay apologised, only to realise that there was no … Read more
Yisini curled herself up on the sofa while she watched Arkadin make himself some sort of meal. She had not even bothered asking whether she was allowed in or not and had just let herself in with a spare key, but Arkadin wasn’t really bothered. He was just glad to have everyone off his back … Read more
As Arkadin sat down at the table, he realised something was wrong. Everything was frozen. Well, not frozen, but slowed down enough to look like everything was frozen. At the other end of the table, Kairos sat awkwardly, his head resting on his clawed wings. “What’s going on?” Arkadin immediately asked. “You’ve slowed everything down. … Read more
“AHHH!” A gust of wind slammed the door shut as Arkadin scrambled to find something to cover himself up with. In his panic, he had forgotten that he was a shape-shifting deity that could just magically summon clothing onto himself. Arkadin ended up grabbing a blanket off his bed and wrapping it around himself. The … Read more
The second Tenuk stepped outside, a massive, furry, clawed hand wrapped itself around his throat. Ct’Era, the heavily-built tank of flesh that she was, sneered as she lifted Tenuk off the ground “You violated us.” “I-I-I j-j-just wanted us all to be happy…” “By violating our minds?” “It was just dopamine…” “Means nothing. You betrayed … Read more
“He’ll see you now.” Normally, only Elkay was allowed to directly talk to the Thantophor. Occasionally Kayen or Psiksi would be allowed in, just to help with some chores, but if the Thantophor wanted to communicate with his guards, he either spoke to the Allmaker and she’d pass the message on, or he’d just talk … Read more
Out of the twelve of them, Tenuk noticed that Retvik was the one acting the most out of sorts. He hadn’t been drinking or eating properly ever since he had brought his partner over to have a look around. After a day of Retvik acting strange, Tenuk then noticed that Elkay had begun to act … Read more
Kinisis smashed the small screen to pieces, then dropped the pieces on Kairos’s lap. “That was uncalled for…” Kairos tutted, sweeping the broken screen up. “I was just showing you potential futures that we avoided.” “I didn’t want to see any of that!” Kinisis snapped. She immediately got up from the pile of cushions that … Read more
Gath perched awkwardly on the bed, not sure what to say. His beloved partner had brought him to the place he had been living for the last few weeks and Gath was really not impressed. The room was pleasant enough, but it was very small and tight. A small apartment with everything one Rethavok needed. … Read more
“Why… why did you show me that…” The Whenvern looked on as Arkadin fidgeted nervously, visibly trembling, trying to focus on the small screen he had been given. The picture on the screen had long faded and was now playing nothing but static, cosmic background radiation that flickered in and out of existence. “Why did … Read more
Three shrieks erupted from the main control room as the ship ground to a halt. They had been drifting aimlessly for at least 26 hours, with no engine power and the bare minimum systems running. There was nothing though to crash into, just the vast emptiness of space. “What the fuck was that?” Phovos growled … Read more
