Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Phovos “Are you really telling me that there is literally nothing of value in all 100 containers here?” Retvik was clearly pissed off. He had been hunched over, helping his team sort through a warehouse of abandoned crates for a good couple of days now. They were finally down to the last remaining six containers, and … Read more
The sugar warehouse was eerily silent, devoid of life and mostly untouched. While most of the building appeared to be normal, there was a significant problem, a complete lack of doors. Only one door was present and insanely small and tucked away, hiding behind the fuel station. There was no padlock present and the door … Read more
“It’s still there.” “Yes, it is. The ship must still be quite warm.” “Are we really going to wait until it buggers off on its own?” Phovos shrugged, lacking an answer to Elksi’s question. The gigantic, gilded serpent was still coiled around their only form of transport, having seemingly not moved at all since they’d … Read more
“Hey Arkay!” “Hey Kalis, what’s up?” Arkay had just been wandering to the kitchen to grab himself a drink, when Kalis knocked on the window to talk. Lately, Kalis had been playing some video games, some of which required multiple players to beat. Kalis normally played these games online with a dedicated group of online … Read more
“Fuck fuck fuck…” Phovos quietly hissed as she switched communications to telepathy. But since there was a massive creature lurking around, she didn’t want to make any real noise, in case it could hear her. “Not a fan of telecoms, are you?” Tenuk mentally joked. “I find it infuriating, having to split my brain up … Read more
“Why are the floors always sticky?” Retvik muttered under his breath as he stepped into the empty fuel station kiosk. Dust covered pretty much everything, from the empty shelves all the way to the checkout area, and baskets were strewn across the floor, rather than sitting in a normal position. “Tends to happen when you … Read more
“Going back for seconds, dear?” “Third, actually.” Relkir had just wanted to get some more food, but, rather annoyingly, Litvir was in the way, Leaning against the wooden door frame, he was blocking the entrance to the main kitchen, presumably waiting for Relkir to come by. “Do you need something?” Relkir asked, holding an empty … Read more
“That… was not the shape I was expecting…” Tenuk reduced the thrusters, slowing the ship down to a standstill. In the darkness of the void, a familiar golden trim winded its way through what looked like an abandoned fuel station, with a warehouse behind it. “What were you expecting?” a voice from behind Tenuk asked. … Read more
Retvik grunted as someone patted him on the shoulder. He had been standing on a balcony, watching Tenuk and Elksi make some small repairs on their ship, somewhat lost in his mission brief. The small pat though quickly brought Retvik back to reality. To Retvik’s surprise though, the shoulder pat came from someone rather unexpected. … Read more
“We have a mission?” Phovos blinked as she stepped into the office alongside Retvik, Tenuk and Elksi. “Is it a fun mission or a normal mission?” “Should be a standard mission.” Galyn stood up from his large office chair, towering over three of the four crew mates. “Kinisis has requested that I send you out … Read more
Phovos yawned as she reached over to grab the television remote, lowering the volume for the show that had just finished. “That was good, I enjoyed that…” Retvik was also yawning. It was quite late, late enough for the artificial lights to dim themselves. “I thought a question show where you get penalized for the … Read more
“Yisini, why do you always ask these things of me? Surely there is someone who can offer a better opinion?” Rethais rolled his eyes as he stepped into yet another weird, sticky puddle, as he followed the Allbirther deeper into her strange, experimental labs. Yet again, Rethais had been stolen from his sleep, rather than … Read more
Retvik grunted as he stared at the screen in front of him, deleting various junk messages. While he may have been a god of fire, it turned out that even deities weren’t immune to spam. Normally, Retvik would just have the emails automatically sorted, but sometimes he liked deleting junk himself. A digital bonfire of … Read more
The Kinision Quartz Theory, often shortened to “Kinisi Quartz”, is a simple colour and gemstone based philosophy, teaching the importance of looking after oneself and keeping spirits high. Colourful gemstones, all made up from quartz, allow the follower to focus on themselves. The standard practice of Kinisi Quartz involves sitting outdoors, holding gems and then … Read more
“Oh, another new look?” Elksi waltzed into the room, her wings neatly tucked away and her arm-bladed retracted back into her forearms. Tenuk had caught a glance of Elksi coming in via the mirror, but hesitantly turned towards her to see Elksi properly. “Yeah, another new look.” Tenuk found it somewhat odd that Elksi immediately … Read more
