In and Out of the Comfort Zone

Most of the party had been rather tame. Adults standing around talking to each other. Slowly, people began to mellow out. Now, at the tail end of the party, things had calmed down a lot, mostly because the Exalted Shifters were drinking and were inviting others to drink with them. The Missing, one of the … Read more

Rather Inappropriate Gift After Work

“Working late again, dear?” Rethais glanced up from the schedule they were reading, for the next week. Sure, the High General had a free weekend, but after that, they had a lot of work ahead of them, starting off with a meeting at 7am with the Torr, first thing on Monday morning. But they were … Read more

Meeting the Exalted Shifters

“So, boyos, this is my adopted son who was kidnapped by a crazy ex who wanted to sleep with me and held him hostage for one and a half universes, and his two insanely cute not-Retha boyfriends. Arkay, these are my assholes-in-chief, Ignasi, codename Voltshift, and Yatre, codename Smokecloud. Also, Yatre, I owe you a … Read more

Hiding from Other Lords

“Well, I have had fun. And this room has been very nice and comfortable!” Litvir mused as he took up most of the gigantic bed that filled the room that had been set aside for Retvik, Arkay and himself. Retvik and Arkay weren’t bothered though. Retvik was enjoying sitting in a strange, spherical rocking chair … Read more

Explaining Partnership Traditions

“How does a marriage work?” Relkir glanced up from the script they were working on, not really sure how Litvir, the young Rethan member of the Twelve Anew, had managed to get in. Sure, they had knocked, and Relkir had said they could come in, but the door hadn’t opened, Litvir had just appeared. “If … Read more

Veilbreaker’s Utterances

“Hello.” “Oh, uh, hello!” Truthtalkers were strange beings, named after the original Truthtalker, one of the Claws of Justice. Leoalitheon Thynoloun was the first Truthtalker and he was a colossal, armoured monster with the ability to see through lies, tear through his enemies and rip truth and honesty out of others. His power was so … Read more

Pasts of Different Distances

“We’re… from the same universe?” Silverspear was confused. He’d been a Decay Lord for a while, quickly climbing the ranks of the Justar and becoming a Justarian Lord, protecting a small sub-sector called the Silvered Warmth, named because it contained a Beh’enlu nest hidden within an asteroid field made of silver. And Silverspear had always … Read more

Familiar Face

Currently, most folks were busy trying to talk to either the Travellers or the Doom Drums, so the three members of the Missing were finally free to do their own things. Litvir was busy flirting with Thyel, one of the Ventra Gales, while Retvik was keeping Galyn and Itaviir company as Vikalos kept on being … Read more

Party Ahead

“Damn, this place is fancy.” Litvir didn’t respond to Arkay’s comment, he was busy trying to park the ship inside a rather tight hangar. There was plenty of space, Litvir was just being overly cautious. “Feels somewhat Voidborn-like, what with all the gold…” Retvik muttered. “You done, Litvir?” Litvir still didn’t answer, not until the … Read more

A Little Proposal

Relkir took a long, deep breath as they finished up the last few bits of work, jotted a few things down, then picked up an oddly shaped box that had been sitting under their desk all day. The box was a little too big to fit in their satchel, so Relkir carried it under their … Read more

Going to a Party

“Alright, while us six adults are gone, Tah is in charge, understood?” The Thantir all glanced around at each other. Well, everyone did apart from Ret, who was busy helping the Travellers unchain their ship and set off. “Uh, why?” Tah asked. “Because you have spent years leading your team of weirdos and know things … Read more

Anger Between Trios

“Oh, hello again, we did not expect to see you again so soon!” Litvir cheerfully smiled as the Doom Drums landed a small ship in Savepoint’s parking area and stomped towards the main building. “Hello again, Souldrainer. I am surprised you aren’t too concerned having a trio of spies among you!” Normally Permafrost was the … Read more

Bilingual Big Bad

The Big Bad had taken everyone else out with relative ease, including Kelira’s companion. Kelira didn’t really want to do Thirteenth Night, but apparently it was one way of getting recognized by “stadium watchers”, Temthan investors looking for people to train up into new gladiators. And, in all honesty, if Kelira had known that tonight’s … Read more
