Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Arkay Iatre had been full of questions, asking everything from “how big is Kinigi?” to “what’s the average girth of a Veth?” As they walked, Continuity had politely answered as many questions as he could, although there were a lot of things he couldn’t answer. Syklos had simply lead the way, remaining silent and just walking … Read more
Elkay sipped his frappé, while Aesop, the Prime Minister of the Cassids, sat there, panicking and fretting over a lost piece of paper. “I was so certain I brought it with me! I swear! It was with everything else!” Aesop paused for a moment, having spotted something. But upon realising that it wasn’t the sheet … Read more
“What just happened?” Iatre asked as he pulled himself out of something pink and gooey, a cross between clay and chewing gum. “One minute we’re trying to stop Death from getting bad and the next we’re… here?” “Clearly something didn’t fucking work!” Arkay growled, peeling pink stuff off his skin, before realising that the whole … Read more
“Wow, you somehow managed to do it…” Istoria blinked as Iatre opened the bedroom door. On the bed was Death, snoring loudly and drooling all over the place, completely naked. She didn’t even have her normal pointless black tentacle wraps on. “Well, you asked me to!” Iatre smiled. “Was rather simple, actually. Took me a … Read more
I’ve been busy lately. Been doing two things. The first part involves a lot of calming sex between me and Death. She wants me, so why not? She always asks me politely, which is more than I can say for other Veth. She just takes them. The other thing though, it’s been me working in … Read more
“I think we need to reset…” Syklos said for the seventh time that evening. “We can’t do a reset now,” Continuity repeated for the eighth time. “We just can’t. Not now. Not after a corruption. We could accidentally get ourselves infected again. And there is no way we can get the permissions needed to do … Read more
The scantily clad Temthans stood in the middle of the room, offering threats and war and goodness else knows what. They’d happened to invade on the one day that the leaders of each Maza race had come together alongside their representatives to discuss the future of the Maza. Well, invade was the wrong word. The … Read more
Volt stared at the Donda, a small, metallic, spinning shape hovering above a diamond-shaped base, both plated in that familiar Orokin gold. Beyond the Donda was the view from the Orbiter’s window, the rings of Saturn drifting by, minding their own business. Everything was quiet. All that could be heard was the occasional beep of … Read more
“What the fuck happened to you, Arkay?” Continuity asked as he held an ice pack to his head. Arkay rolled his eyes as he limped into the room, trailing behind him a large roll of bandages that was soaking up an even longer trail of glowing blood. “Bitch decided that she wasn’t happy with me … Read more
The two Veth growled as they threw Tenuk into Death’s home, picked him up, threw him on a sofa made of flesh, then stormed off. Tenuk was uncomfortable at first both from his ass having hit the cold stone floors and from the sofa he was sitting on, but since he was sat in a … Read more
Kayel adjusted his hood as he walked down the hallway. In one hand was a visitors’ pass, in the other was a bag of treats. He’d spent a good hour at the nearest convenience store picking out what would be best, what was low in calories and in sugar. After all that, he ended up … Read more
“Another day, another pile of land purchase offers to reject…” Retvik muttered to himself as he sat down. He could have had an assistant do this. He could have had Gath do this. But deep down, a small part of him liked doing this. He got to say no to all these weird beings who … Read more
The room was brightly lit, with a white-paned window and painted walls, decorated with childish white and grey clouds. In the corner was a clean, neatly made bed with a freshly fluffed pillow. A desk, a lamp, a small computer sat in the opposite computer, next to a free-standing cupboard and several shelves. Next to … Read more
Sometimes, I wonder how I got here. A billion years of nothingness and here I stand. Observing. Watching. Guarding. That is my duty now. Protecting a fledgling universe from all the horrors that seek to consume it. Protecting a fledgling universe from mistakes that could destroy it from the inside out. You would think that … Read more
Psiksi sighed as the phone rang. It was three in the morning, everyone was asleep and this infernal communicator had woken him up. What sort of idiot calls at three in the morning anyway? With another sigh, Psiksi rolled out of bed, onto the floor and across the room to where he’d left his communicator. … Read more
