Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Arkay almost jumped as his communicator rang. He wasn’t expecting any calls or anything, so he picked it up quite slowly, glancing at the number displayed. It was one he didn’t really recognize. Then again, Arkay always had trouble recognizing long numbers. “Hello? Arkay speaking!” “Oh, hi Arkay, it’s me, Phovos.” “Phovos?” Arkay exclaimed, feeling … Read more
Arkay collapsed on his bed, panting heavily. The ceiling above him was blank and white, with a single strip of a light that was currently turned off. The company that had helped him move his larger furniture had been and gone, and now he was on his own. He’d been alone for a bit, moving … Read more
Teekay yawned as he woke up, then immediately gasped as he saw what time it was. 11am! He was supposed to have gotten up at 9am! Somehow, without noticing, Teekay had overslept by two hours. But that was only part of the problem. Teekay had initially planned to only have a quick nap at about … Read more
Arkay wiped the sweat from his face, then sat down on the single chair he had just carried into his new apartment. It was a small place and half his furniture hadn’t arrived yet, but it was still Arkay’s new home. He was finally going to have his own place, a place all to himself. … Read more
“So, we’ve signed the contract, you’ve paid the first month of rent, here are your keys.” Arkay blinked several times as the tall, bald, dragon-like being held out a pair of keys. He gently took the keys, then glanced over to the door. “Electricity and internet need to be put in your name. We will … Read more
“Come to the beach with us!” Arkay looked away from his computer screen. “Beach, Kallis?” “Yes! With us!” “You and Stef?” “Yes! And Stef’s sister and her husband.” Arkay blinked. “And you want me to come with you?” “Yes. Why is this so hard for you to get?” Kallis crossed his arms. “I want you … Read more
“Wow.” Phovos looked up as she realized that she wasn’t alone. “Oh, hi Retvik.” “Hello…” Retvik was clearly staring at Phovos, his mouth slightly open. “You look… amazing.” “I do?” “Yes.” Phovos smiled a little, then put her stuff, mainly her handbag and keys, down on the little table by the door. But there was … Read more
“Hello, Lady Kinisis, how can I help you?” Phovos had been minding her own business, dusting and cleaning the armoury that had recently been donated to Kinisis’s Life Oasis, as the elegant yet almost naked Life Goddess walked in. “Hiya, little Phovos, I was wondering what to do with myself when I thought of you, … Read more
“So why am I hanging upside down?” Retvik tutted to himself as his hands scraped across the ground. “And how have you managed to hang me upside down so badly?” Teekay and Eksi glanced at each other, then both shrugged. “Eksi thought it might be easier to mind control you if all your blood rushed … Read more
“Yay!” Arkay inspected the small, glowing orb that he had just created. It flickered and glistened with a warm radiance, slowly spinning around. The orb wasn’t a perfect sphere and would occasionally send out small twirls of pink energy, but Arkay was still pretty pleased with himself. “Now to share it…” With a smile, Arkay … Read more
Retvik grunted as consciousness returned to him. He couldn’t remember passing out, and was rather shocked to find that he had been tied up to a chair. A rather small, uncomfortable chair. “Ah, you are finally awake!” Litvir smiled while standing way, way too close. He was practically in Retvik’s face. “Welcome to An Idiot’s … Read more
“Relkir, Litvir, are either of you busy currently?” The two Rethans turned and stared at the doorway where Retvik was standing somewhat awkwardly. “We are on our break, so no, we are not busy,” Relkir shrugged, approaching his titanic half-brother. The three of them used to be of similar sizes, but now that Retvik was … Read more
Arkay’s eyes snapped open as something fluffy brushed against his arm. He’d stayed up late to play video games and quickly realized that he had overslept. Glancing at a nearby clock, Araky realised he had REALLY overslept. He’d gone to sleep at 7:30am and now it was 2:30pm. That was not at all normal for … Read more
“You’re going out again?” “Yeah, of course!” “But you just got back?” Kalis was holding a wicker basket, standing cheerily by the door. In the basket, there was a bottle of wine, as well as some cheeses and hams. It all looked rather tasty to anyone who liked to drink. “I know, I’m going out … Read more
“I feel bad for asking.” “Why?” “Well, it is a little bit unfair on you.” “I don’t mind though. If I didn’t want to, I’d tell you.” “Hm. I guess so. But still…” “But what?” “I… I do not know.” “Would you like a treat?” “Yes, I think I would. Hence the fact I took … Read more
