Suspicions in the Making

by

Rethais’s buttocks briefly left the surface of his chair as the massive, armoured Banikan plonked herself down next to him. “Hello.” “Hello, High General.” Ct’Era wasn’t the leader of the Banikans. As a race, the colossal, horned, marsupial race were incredibly tribal and segregated, mostly in ways that other species didn’t really understand. But due … Read more

A Great Meeting

by

“Great little Leaders, welcome to my abode, please, make yourselves at home!” Fifteen individuals of very varied sizes stood, dazed and confused, in the middle of the grand hall. All around them were vast luxuries, neatly laid out in sections related to how said luxuries were to be consumed. Light twinkled into the room from … Read more

A Biased History Lesson

by

“Good morning, class, and welcome to your first lesson in Decay Lord logistics!” Kuta and Arkay were completely alone in the observatory. Several chairs and desks were set up, not to mention a large, plastic white board, but there was no one else around. “Excuse me?” Kuta couldn’t help but ask. “This all seems excessive … Read more

New Responsibilities

by

Kuta’s eyes widened as he watched the colossal, armoured beast tentatively erected what looked like a plastic tent in what Kuta assumed was the ship’s cargo bay or something. Lord Galyn seemed to have a hint of concern, but his movements were swift and calm, despite his size. “Do we really have to do this?” … Read more

Skirting Forgiveness

by

“What did you just say?” Retvik looked up at Kuta. They had just finished filling out the paperwork, signing Kuta up as a bonafide Decayling, complete with brief physical assessment and a cool little code name. This sudden outburst was that, sudden. “I… did not say anything?” Retvik blinked. “You said something about having intercourse … Read more

Disbelief in Reality

by

Kuta sat in his chair, feeling very deflated. Sure, he had managed to resurrect himself and cause his evil twin brother a great deal of pain, but nothing felt right. He thought he’d explode back to life in the middle of something important, pointing out how corrupt Litvir was and exposing the horrors of being … Read more

Unsatisfactory Explanations

by

“I think we all have a little bit of explaining to do…” Galyn grunted as he sat everyone down. “Arkay, did you put the ship on autopilot?” “Yeah…” Arkay answered, delicately placing a large plate of sandwiches in the middle of the table. He had no idea what was going on, but everyone was confused … Read more

Sudden Gut Pains

by

“AAAAAAAAAAHH!” Litvir’s scream echoed down the hallway, bouncing off the walls and tearing through the minds of his crew mates. He hadn’t intended to scream so loud, but the sudden tearing pain in his stomach had caught Litvir completely off guard. The pain stabbed at Litvir like a rolling tide, ebbing and flowing, but definitely … Read more

Make Them Happy

by

“So, what do ya think?” Kairos glanced at Epani. Epani glanced at Kairos, then back to Yisini. Yisini stared at both her fellow gods, waiting for an answer. “You want to make life a paradise for everyone until you can find out how to make everyone immortal?” Kairos asked. “Like, everyone, everyone? Or just those … Read more

Teleportation Request Denied

by

“Fuck.” “What?” “Piss.” “What?!” “MULTIPLE CURSE WORDS!” Arkay turned to Galyn, almost insulted by Galyn’s choice of swearing. “Did you really just say-” “I did…” Galyn snarled, smashing his fingers into a screen. On it, several words flashed repeatedly. “This is so much shit. The damned bureaucracy around here!” Arkay read and re-read the words … Read more
