Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Arkay “Elkay! Elkay! Need to speak to you right now!” Elkay should have been annoyed at one of his fellow Twelve Anew interrupting his private times, doubly so since he’d informed them all that he was taking most of the weekend off, but, firstly, he was used to it, and, secondly the sheer panic in Kohra’s … Read more
“Phiva! I am so glad you could join me!” Elkay was in a very bouncy mood as a dark red Ksithan wearing black trousers and a black hoodie and carrying a large, dusty satchel reached the main entrance of the Great Library near the centre of the universe. To the point that he nearly tripped … Read more
“So you didn’t see anything?” Kohra asked as he puffed up his fur in a bid to protect himself from the cold. Litvir shook their head, and shuddered slightly. Normally, they had no problem with the depths of space, but Litvir felt uneasy today. “Uh, no, not on… normal light. In the, uh, infrared light, … Read more
The flight so far had been rather quiet. While Arkay had been fine taking Kuta and Ret to the little floating island pub in the Ventra Expanse, his new passenger was a tad more awkward, and Arkay hadn’t said much. He’d also shrunk a little, reverting to a younger form. Not as young as the … Read more
“I am so sorry.” “It is fine. You were not to-” “I am so, so sorry. “It is fine. You-” “I do not know how I can apologise further.” “It is-” “I failed you.” “Relkir, please stop.” “I-” “Relkir!” An uneasy silence crackled down the phone line. It took too long for anyone to start … Read more
“What do you want?” Kairos didn’t answer. He was working. “What is your problem?” Still no answer. “Kairos, I am speaking to you.” Kairos grunted, then glanced up. Standing over him was Epani, who had intruded his personal space. His last personal space. However Epani had a cohort today. The little formerly exiled Lanex who, … Read more
“See, that was not too bad, was it?” Litvir glanced around awkwardly, not really paying attention to Gath’s words. There was a lot on Litvir’s mind, mostly the fact that they were supposed to be heading back to their patrols soon but they had been delayed on their flight with Gath and were probably going … Read more
“So… What do you think?” Ret and Kuta glanced at each other, then shrugged. “You want us to spend a week with Letharus, helping him run the Shield and Stave pub, while you take Vick to the mall at the edge of the Goldtorn Remains so you can meet the original Dessaron?” Ret asked. “Basically, … Read more
“Ugh. We’re doing this shit again…” Valksia and Maresia glanced at Syksis, not wanting to agree with what Syksis had just said but doing so anyway. “Feels like when I was a kid and my parents used to argue…” Aster muttered. “Would happen just as frequently as well.” “Is that why you’re the god of … Read more
Relkir should have been surprised to see a shadowy being in their office, sitting on their desk, but since their adopted child was a deity, surprise was less of a problem these days. Still, Relkir had just finished advising on a meeting between the General of Medical Affairs, the General of the 500th Legion and … Read more
“You are a very stiff person.” Rethais remained where they were, staring at the ceiling, not quite sure what had just happened. “Stiffer than most.” Why were they out of breath? They hadn’t done anything. “Honestly, you seem to go stiffer than even standard-caste Rethans.” It was hard to unclench. Whatever had just happened, Rethais … Read more
Silverspear is now online. Silverspear: Hey! Guys! Mimicblade: Hey, Elksi. Silverspear: You… do you ever go offline? Mimicblade: Nope. Mimicblade: Always here. Mimicblade: Like the ceiling cat that watches you masturbate. Silverspear: Oh you have those too. Mimicblade: … Mimicblade: What? Silverblade: We have AI-run cameras in public areas designed to catch indecent exposure, public … Read more
Arkay groaned as he rolled over in bed, wiping a little too much saliva from his mouth. Despite having slept, Arkay was still tired. And achy. And nauseous. And he had stomach ache. Basically, Arkay felt absolutely awful, and he really didn’t want to get up. Checking the clock though, Arkay quickly realised he had … Read more
“Relkir?” Relkir was rushing around their office, clearly looking for something. They were so lost in whatever it was that they were looking for that they hadn’t noticed both the High General and their beloved forever partner standing at the door. “Relkir…” Relkir still wasn’t paying attention. “Relkir!” The change in tone snapped Relkir out … Read more
Shield Six was an utterly ancient ship, which meant it needed somewhat regular maintenance. But now the Thantir was a large sect that worked in all things anti-Corruption, Tah finally had the time to go around and properly fix things up, doubly so since Shield Six didn’t really go out much any more. And today, … Read more
