Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
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
It would have been clear as day to everyone who walked past Litvir that Litvir was insanely nervous, had Litvir not been making themselves telepathically invisible to everyone but their travel companion. Miisa had been trying to keep Litvir calm as they sat on the bus to the small farming village of Trofi, but perhaps … Read more
Phovos was tending to the trees around Savepoint, mostly just pruning dead branches and sweeping up dead leaves, moving them into piles to be made into fertiliser. She was quite happy with her work and duties, which had changed over time, and now Phovos was mostly in charge of making Savepoint look nice. Normally, Phovos … Read more
“So you want to get married?” Itaviir was clearly confused. He had been sitting in the canteen, beer in one hand, chunk of meat on a bone in the other, eating the standard Beh’en meal of meat and potatoes, when Vikalos had come along, sat down next to him and, oddly, not said anything. “I… … Read more
“Hello, Litvir!” “Hello, Miisa…” Normally, Litvir would be much more enthusiastic about their regular cookie meet-ups with their forever-friend Miisa, but clearly they weren’t doing too well. Miisa noticed this immediately and decided to be blunt and ask what was wrong. “You are not right today.” Litvir inspected Miisa somewhat before answering, then wished they … Read more
“Has he been hanging around menacingly the whole time?” Aster was a regular visitor to the Library Near the Centre of the Universe, as he would regularly use its sources to study up for any complicated meetings and tasks he had to do. He’d also occasionally ask Elkay questions, since, most of the time, Elkay … Read more
“Hello, General! Please, come in and sit down!” Gath had admittedly arranged this appointment a little early, but their doctor had specifically said that Gath could arrange an appointment early if Gath wasn’t feeling right. So that was what Gath had done, and now they were anxiously making their way into Doctor Ekal’s office and … Read more
“Kyr Teekay, are you busy?” “I’ve literally got my head stuck in an engine, I’m a tad busy!” “Oh. Sorry.” Teekay tutted to himself, then pulled himself out of the engine. There was a piece of Voidborn stuck in it, and this seemed to be a really common occurrence that Teekay was normally rather good … Read more
“Hello, dear.” “Hello, Kuta.” Kuta had clearly finished work early. Their duties were normally rather stressful and regularly Kuta went over their normal shift time. Not because Kuta was overworked, but because they enjoyed their work, they felt like they were genuinely helping others and making sure people were free from the mind control and … Read more
“There’s shit going on.” Aesop’s appearance didn’t catch Aster off guard, but his sentence did. Aster had just finished up in a meeting, talking with a rogue group of former Perpetual Abyssians. He had managed to convince them to rejoin Lanex society, mostly by offering them a job, safety and home on solid ground. Aster … Read more
